Yeah... fingers crossed things stay put for a while.

[softlyfalling]

Oh, indeed. I'd very much like that to be the case.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You said you and Amaranth are close?

[softlyfalling]

Ah, she's been a mentor to me since very early on, and seen me through some very hard times, and—well, I suppose I've seen her through some difficult times as well. We're from the same world, so there's a bit of camaraderie.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh yeah? You guys know each other, before?

[softlyfalling]

Oh, no, not at all—we're from different countries, actually.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean, so are me and Nem, but we knew each other.

[softlyfalling]

Well, it's a big world—I'd be surprised if everyone who happened to end up here from the same one knew each other, right? So perhaps you're just lucky.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... guess that makes sense.

[softlyfalling]

Or maybe it's just you two are inseparable. Who knows?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Could be.

How's she doing, anyway? With the Avante shake-up?

[softlyfalling]

I think all right...?

She kept a pretty cool head about all the odd things going on, at least.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...good. I'm glad.

[softlyfalling]

We're all trying our best.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... s'kinda the best anyone can do.
