[The Princess is sitting on the bench just outside Espoir's chapel, Neya grazing contentedly nearby. Tamina enjoys spending time here; there is a sense of peace and comfort which surrounds the building

[Of course Steve's seen Tamina a couple of times in Dastan's cottage but he's never really bothered her as much as he did Dastan. But he knows what that sigh meant. Flint used to always do that when his experiments didn't go according to plan.]

Sad.

Fffff Steve! ♥ We'll just assume they know each other, yus?

[timesguardian]

[The little voice catches her attention and Tamina glances up, seeing Steve nearby. Unfortunately, she has no treats for him but she smiles nevertheless.]

Yes. A bit sad, at that.

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

[beingtranslated]

[Steve lets out a sad hum as he looked up at Tamina from his position on the ground.]

Eat? [Food always made him happy. Maybe it would work for her too?]

Mmkay.

[timesguardian]

Mmm, perhaps later, little one.

[She pats her skirts.]

I'm afraid I didn't bring any snacks with me.

[runslikehell]

What's with the sudden nostalgia?

[timesguardian]

Oh. This card...somehow it contains a memory of my mother.

[Pause.]

She died when I was very young.

[runslikehell]

[Oh crap. Maybe she shouldn't have asked. But Zoey definitely knew the feeling.]

Sorry about that...

[timesguardian]

No, no, quite all right. I just...didn't expect it. I never thought that whatever holds sway over this world could possibly know...about such things.

[firstclassdream]

You're looking down, Princess.

[He has a good guess as to why and holds up the card he got.]

I'm guessing this is the cause, huh?

[timesguardian]

[Well, actually, she was looking out over the village; she still has to learn the slang, Zack.]

Oh...hello, Zack. [She blinks at the card a moment, then nods with a sigh.]

Indeed. I wasn't expecting such a memory brought back to mind.

[firstclassdream]

[Oh, he has much to teach you, Tamina~]

Don't think a lot of people did. This place likes pulling fast ones on us, I think.

[timesguardian]

..."fast ones"? I'm sorry...what does that mean?

[hides_thedagger]

[You can't hide that expression from him, Princess]

You've watched the card we've been given, have you not?

[His showed the night after his first battle. The memory is a fond one for Dastan not because of the victory, but because of the proud light in his father's eyes when they returned and the time well spent with his brothers.]

[timesguardian]

Yes. Against my better judgment, it seems.

[katona_sziv]

Is it safe to assume that you swiped your card as well? [Hungary's own card is left lying on the table beside her. She isn't quite sure yet how to feel about the memory it played and she's choosing not to think about it for the time being.]

[timesguardian]

I did, yes.

[katona_sziv]

I hope, at least, it was a pleasant memory? It seems that they vary from person to person.

[timesguardian]

It...was pleasant enough. I would have rather it remained in the past, but...
