... The point was, however, grief. A land that welcomed him after he had lost his home, without question and kindness so great, one might call it naivety. He did not wish to lose a second home, and so Vaugarde was set to freeze.

[ It's painful, however. To let go. This is going to be so important later. ]

[ordimame]

[HE IS SOOOOO CONFUUUUUSED]

. . . so he was just stupid.

[researcherstory]

Yes. He was.

[ ... ]

But fear makes people do incredibly unwise things.

[ordimame]

Does that mean I can't judge them? Because I am.

Judging them.

[Edamura]

[researcherstory]

Judge all you'd like. It was still a bad thing he did.

[ ... Still, she's pinching his side. Seemingly for no reason. ]

In any case, that's all there is to it. It was quite the fuss, and impeded my travel across Vaugarde a good bit... but now they can live in peace once more. As they always did.

[ordimame]

[flinches at the pinch! swatting at her hand!!]

Well. . . that's a happy ending, at least. How did you break the spell?

[researcherstory]

Mirabelle turned it back on him, so he froze instead.

[ ..................... ]

[ordimame]

[. . .]

Oh.

[sounds. . . horrifying]

[researcherstory]

Indeed.

[ ... ... ...

LOOK THE TEA IS BEING SERVED!!!! WHOO!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!! ]

Any other questions?

[ordimame]

[scoops up his cup]

No. . . I think I've had enough for one tea ceremony.

[sniffs]

[researcherstory]

My turn then.

[ Oh no-- ]

Do you always mirror the energy of the people around you?

1/2

[ordimame]

[. . . . . . .]

[ordimame]

I. . . don't know? Is that what I seem to be doing?

[researcherstory]

Yes. It isn't a bad thing, Edamura, but I have noticed it.

[ Whether he knows it or not. She takes a sip of her tea, closing her eyes. ]

... It is part of the adaptivity I mentioned, that you share with Maya. I simply thought I'd ask after it.

[ordimame]

[relaxing a bit when she says "it isn't a bad thing"]

Well, I don't even notice it. Maybe I feed off of everyone's energy because everyone here has such strong personalities?

[researcherstory]

[ What an interesting person he is. ]

It does make it difficult to stand out as oneself around them at times, doesn't it? When they're all so unique and willful.

[ordimame]

[a laugh]

Take one look at me, Odile-san, and tell me that I'm the kind of guy who likes to stand out.

[researcherstory]

Nor more than I do.

[ So absolutely not at all. ]

It's simply easy to get swept up and swallowed by such strong personalities. I enjoy how utterly and boringly normal you are.

[ordimame]

Why, thank you.

[PROUD]

That's the best compliment I have ever gotten.
