115. Light

Hey. We've got a lotta new people this month, huh? For anyone who's new, I'm Sheena. I think the guide answers just about every question, but I've been here for a really long time, so if anyone wanted to ask, I'm okay with answering about stuff.

I was thinking about trying out that battle arena thing. Anyone done it already and wanna tell me what it was like? If it's like the coliseum I dunno about trying it.

What would you guys think about having a winter, uh, festival thing like we did a couple years ago?

[Yuri]
I met your crazy rival.

[Raine]
Hey, are you up for visitors? I know it's gonna get late soon...but hopefully Albert'll forgive me.

[there is a part of her that firmly believes these weapons can literally suck the life out of you and that is the sort of face she turns on Raine now. But only for a moment]

Well I'm glad it wasn't worse.

[They really don't know much about those weapons. They only have what they've witnessed and been told, but even then, there's likely much more to them.]

I was close... I know I was. But then, it ... [She shivers, glad that she's not holding the tea.] ... w-well. I won't be trying that again.

It what?

[now wait a minute. Raine hasn't turned that shade in a long time.] Never mind, you don't have to answer.

[but she quickly wraps it back up again and moves as far from it as she feels she needs to get - namely, back to that chair]

Guess that'll teach me to snoop around.

It's fine. I should have mentioned it sooner. The possibility of those weapons turning up here...

I totally get why it's never come up.

Feeling any better?

Yes, a little... [She moves to take another sip of the tea again.]

That's good. I'll go get you more if you finish that.

[She nods again.] ... All right. You don't want anything for yourself?

The stuff you've got out there in that kettle'd keep me awake for hours. [which Zelos will end up doing later, but.] I'm okay.

All right. But it is getting late, isn't it?

...D'you want me to go?

I'm not asking you to go... I just don't want you to end up inconvenienced.

[here Sheena puts her hands on her hips and grins]

Will you stop that? It's not an inconvenience to spend time with you.

I only meant that -- when you go home ... [She just shakes her head.] ... Well, you're welcome to stay as long as you like.

I'll stay a little while longer. I think Zelos can survive on his own for a few hours.

All right then.

...What happened to the staff you've always had?

[That small smile is gone pretty quickly, though she hides it with a sip of tea.] That's ...

It was broken. I should have brought it back to see if they could fix it at the weapon store, but at the time I never got to retrieve it.

Retrieve it from...?

It was... in the woods. Close to the caves.

A month ago? ...Do you, uh, want me to keep circling this one?

No, it was two months ago. There was someone I needed to help... but things didn't quite go as planned.

[sounds like a yes on the circling. ...Sheena really shouldn't be having this much trouble remembering two months ago. But there it is - a perceptible line between a before and an after.]

I'm really not that great at guessing games. What happened?

I'm sorry. I don't... think it's exactly my place to tell what happened. There was just an incident, and my staff was broken as a result. In the end, everything was resolved, so there was that.

[she will get to the bottom of this one. Some day.]

It's weird that it didn't come back.
