130. Wooden [voiced]

Hey guys. I, uh, just wanted to let everybody who knew her know that Presea's gone. ...All her stuff and everything. She didn't...leave stuff for people, that I know of, so there's nothing to come and get.

...I know we're always kinda supposed to say this stuff, but I believe that she really is better off going back home. That way she'll get to

Jasmin.

[And he'll fold the menu again, placing it back on the table. Giles had recommended something called "English Breakfast" once, but Yuan gets the feeling it has the word breakfast in its name for a reason.]

[corrinesbell]

[She takes a sip of her tea, too, shaking her head afterward]

I wouldn't really want you to stay here either.

[action]

[fortunefail]

Hm... From what I've heard, there's still enough work to do when we return to our own world. The sooner we're sent home, the sooner we can get that over with.

[Right now, that whole Ratatosk affair is just looming over his head. While he already knows it'll end well, it still isn't a fun prospect to waste another two years on that sort of thing when he finally does return home.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

It's gonna take a couple years no matter what we do.

[and she pours herself some more tea. What's in her mug got cold.]

[action]

[fortunefail]

Hmm... [Yuan's still perfectly content with his own cup of tea. He'll take another calm sip.]

We likely won't remember this place at all, when the time comes.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

To just completely forget about four years of my life doesn't sound so good anymore.

[action]

[fortunefail]

You'll forget the bad parts as well.

[Yuan himself is a bit on the fence on whether he'll miss those memories or not. He's made quite a few interesting new friendships in Luceti and learned a lot, but there are plenty of events that he'll be more than happy to forget.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

...Maybe I need the bad parts, Yuan.

[action]

[fortunefail]

For what? They're nothing but reminders of a situation in which you were completely helpless. There isn't even anything to learn from it.

[This is mostly just Yuan speaking for himself, of course. None of his personal bad memories are helpful in any way; They're just dead weight. He doesn't believe he needs that sort of suffering.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

How d'you know? [She thinks she's learned a lot. Particularly about trusting people.] Do what you want with what happened to you, but don't tell me my memories aren't important.

[action]

[fortunefail]

Fine. [He just take another sip of his tea, then. A long sip, because he has no clue what else to say. He didn't come here to start an argument with Sheena, after all.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[She's still kind of an argument magnet. She will join him in the long sip of tea, looking way less argumentative when she puts her cup back down.]

I kinda thought you were here to tell me Mithos did something else.

[action]

[fortunefail]

[He shakes his head mildly at that, setting the cup back on the table though not quite releasing it yet.]

He's been awfully quiet lately. [Yuan's wondering if this is just the calm before the storm.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

That's almost worse.

[action]

[fortunefail]

Mmm. I doubt he's already finished venting his frustration.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

I'll be ready if I run into him again.
