95. Slices

[corrinesbell]

[a good bit of banging and clanging, and perhaps a bit of vocalized frustration, before a defeated Sheena sits down in a kitchen chair]

I didn't think it'd ever be this hard to make a sandwich. Geez.

[of course she has no idea she's left the book open. She can't see it]

[sigh. Then she might as well tell him]

I can't see.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

What? You mean... did the Malnosso do something to your eyes? It's not permanent... is it?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

I dunno. I can't remember what happened.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

...

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

[if you don't talk then she can't answer]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Have you gone to the clinic yet?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Raine came over. She says there's nothing I can really do except wait.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

At least you have Colette and Zelos there to help you until it goes away.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Seles lives here too.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Zelos' sister? Oh, that's right... I don't know her very well. I'd just met her back in our world before I was brought here.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Pretty sure she wants me dead. ...Well. I think she wants any girl Zelos likes dead.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

She does? She seemed nice enough to me...

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

...Wait a minute. If you met her before that means you're...I should remember you.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I met her in my time-- I'm from two years ahead of you, I think.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

[his time. Regal may have explained this one]

...What's the world like in two years?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

It's...

[Oh man. Should he tell the truth? That's... probably not a good idea if she's already upset, so:]

... i-it's fine. They've rebuilt places like Palmacosta and Luin, and things are finally getting back to normal.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

[very silent pause]

Don't lie. [remember that she has no idea she looks like this]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I-I'm not lying, I--!

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

[just waits. That may have been a little harsh, but she's overly defensive right now and doesn't want to be treated differently]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... the Sylvaranti and the Tethe'allans still look down on each other. I don't know how we can get them to stop, or to stop hating half-elves either.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Well up until a couple months ago they didn't even know the other world existed. You've gotta expect a few problems. ...The whole thing probably could've been explained to them better.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah. They'll get along eventually... I hope.
