What’s this thing? [FIDDLING.] I’ve never seen anything like this before, even in Rabona. I can’t even call it a tiny book, it doesn’t have any pages. [A pause, because he’s taking a bite out of an apple. He’s at least got the common courtesy to finish chewing before he starts speaking again.] And on top of that, a house that I can walk into, no

You sound awfully young to be asking about Organization warriors.

[moralltach]

You think so?

[leigheas]

Usually people fear us.

[moralltach]

I suppose they do, don't they?

[leigheas]

Then what do you want?

[moralltach]

[Oh. OH.]

I need to warn all of you.

[leigheas]

Warn us about what? How can I confide in the fact you aren't from the Organization?

[moralltach]

You only have my word, when it comes down to it. Whether or not you trust me or not is up to you.

It's about a very powerful Awakened Being.

[leigheas]

I'm afraid there are no Awakeneds in this land.

[moralltach]

...Oh thank goodness.

[The relief in his voice speaks volumes.]

[leigheas]

I have to wonder, however, why do you speak so freely of us? Who are you, really?

[moralltach]

Ah, I should introduce myself, shouldn't I? My name's Raki.

[leigheas]

... Well. I'm Cynthia, formerly of the Organization. How come you don't fear their warriors?

[moralltach]

It's nice to meet you, Cynthia! And I don't fear you because a very good friend of mine happens to be a warrior like you.

[leigheas]

You know one of our own? May I ask who she is?

[moralltach]

I do! Her name is Clare, I traveled with her when I was much younger.
