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.

...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.

I should have brought it with me. But I wasn't really thinking of that at the time.

So now I'm ... just waiting for a new one to show up, still. One that I can actually use.

Well at least you're not stuck without it.

...You, uh, hungry or anything?

[In terms of casting, she was fine. But physical defense? She should really just find a generic rod to use, even if it wouldn't be too much help.]

We had dinner just before you came over, so not exactly.

Oh. Okay. Just figured I'd ask.

[but really, for now she's out of questions. She won't admit to it but she's staying because Raine shouldn't be here hurting by herself.]

You wouldn't have known, so thank you for asking anyway.

Mmhmm.

...Would you mind if I went and got some tea after all?

... Why would I mind?

I dunno. I guess it's just...the way I usually ask the question.

You're welcome to help yourself. Go ahead. [She takes another sip.]

Thanks.

[and back to the kitchen. Really she just needed to walk around a little. And tea solves even the most minor of problems, anyway.]

[She won't be going anywhere. Well, maybe zoning out a bit again when Sheena wanders off, but that shouldn't be too much of a surprise.]

[she'll be gone for a little while this time. As long as there aren't any surprise pitfalls under the floor, though, things should be good]

[No surprise traps. It's possible that Raine may have a word with her housemates in the meanwhile, if they happen to check in, but otherwise not much has changed by the time Sheena returns.]

[and so she will sit. With a much smaller tea than what she brought for Raine.]

You can talk, you know. This doesn't have to be all about me.

Sometimes I think I'm just as guilty of not talking about stuff as you are.
