Haaah. Sorry if I'm still sort of out of it. Have you taken yours yet?

Not yet.

[eyes it]

Good or bad, do you think?

[light shrug]

Could be anything. Though knowing Soldier, maybe it's of a time you partied back home or something.

Could be.

[well, down the hatch]

[watchiiiing]

[concentrating look, slowly starting to grin]

[then a wince of pain, but looks pretty triumphant]

Definitely not a party.

[???]

The opposite. . .? What happened?

Magic lessons. Then an undine and I went for a swim to get some things from her house.

Magic? Ah, like how you made my arm cold, right?

. . .what's an undine?

Right. And an undine is... well, they're also called mermaids, but is not polite to call them that. Or correct, for the male ones. They look a lot like humans, but with fish-tails.

................

Mermaids. As in, half fish, half person, living under the sea, mermaids? They actually exist?

Why wouldn't they exist?

W-well, in my world that's what we would call a fantasy creature. They only exists in movies and fairy tales.

... is this not the time to tell you I remember fairies too? Well, a troll at least. The stepsister of a friend married one. No accounting for taste, I suppose.

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

[holds up a hand]

Wait. Wait, wait. Mermaids, fairies, trolls, AND stepsisters? Not to mention your name is It's like your comes straight out of a story book.

The good kind of story?

Usually, yeah! It's weird thinking all those things are actually real. I mean, I shouldn't be surprised by now, but still! Do you know anyone who once lost a glass slipper?

No, but I have three memories.

Tell me the one about Snow.

A-ah, right. Fair enough!

Let's see, it's been a while since I heard it! But basically there was this princess named Snow White, and she lived with seven dwarves. One day she was poisoned by an evil witch with a cursed apple, and only a kiss of True Love could wake her up. Conveniently, a handsome prince came by the cottage one day and did just that. They lived happily ever after.

Or at least that's how it goes in most children's versions. I hear the original and other kinds are a bit darker! I-it's a little silly sounding, huh?

Maybe. Anyway, I'm not married to a prince.

Despite all the fantastic creatures, you seem way more grounded than a story like that, yeah. What's he like?

I only remember a bit. I've remembered my friends Dani and Talia more. Seems like we went on adventures together.

Huh, those names don't sound familiar. But that's still pretty cool, right? Adventures and magic and. . .fairy tale creatures abound.

[nods] I led an exciting life.

[hand gestures!1]

Don't jinx yourself by putting it in the past tense--! As far as you know, you're just on a break.
