...Well...at least they still match? Heh, I'm just kidding. The pixies are back and this whole place looks like it wants to be happy for them. ...It's a nice change.

Anyway. I've gotten back to helping out at the clinic. Not like there's much else to do around here, really, aside from help. Unlike Lloyd or Daisya, I don't think I could run some kind of shop. It's just not my kinda thing. Besides, what would I sell?

Hey, Caesar. I dunno, maybe you do this already...but maybe you should keep some kind of a list, here. ...Of the people who're kidnapped, or just missing. That way the patrols know who they're definitely looking for, you know?

I told you you had nothing to worry about. You guys are gonna be great and the whole village notices it.

That guy gives me a weird feeling. I dunno why...it's just...odd. Like I should know, and I don't. ...And there's a...a stuffed doll sitting on my bed. ...It's... Nah. I don't trust this book enough to keep secrets. Not the important ones, anyway.

Oh...

*sees the toy and gasps a little* I-it's so cute!

...Yeah. I guess it is. *he even has a little bell around his neck that jingles*

What's wrong, Miss Sheena?

...This is...it, uh...this toy looks just like a friend of mine, from home.

O-oh! Do you miss him?

Yeah. ...He was my best friend for a really long time. *managed not to say 'only'*

Oh...

I... I didn't have a best friend e-except maybe Miss Maya...

Yeah, really good friends are hard to find. ...Your Mr. Nick seemed like a good one, though. Weren't you friends with him?

N-no, Mr. Nick was Mystic Maya's special someone!

((OOC: Oops. Excuse my slip in the last comment.))

...He was, huh? *laughing a little, to herself* That doesn't mean he couldn't be your friend too, you know.

U-um, I guess he was my friend...

And you have a bunch of friends here now. ...And one little sister.

Y-yes! Miss Sheena is my best friend here.

... R-really?

Yes!

...Thanks, Pearl. ...That's really nice of you to say.

I-it's the truth...

U-um, unless Miss Sheena doesn't want to...

Don't even think something like that. *Pearl is likely getting hugged right now* Of course I want to.

R-really? *hugging back*

Yeah, really. I wouldn't lie to you, Pearl. *unless she's saying she's okay when she really isn't*

I... I'm really glad...

...My friend from home...died, a long time before I ever ended up here. ...But I have a bunch of other great friends now.

D-died? O-oh...

Yeah. ...That's why it's kind of sad, and kind of happy, that this toy ended up here. ...I was thinking of giving him to the baby as a gift. So he can be a friend for someone else. What do you think?

I... I think she'd like that... I bet he's a great friend.
