uh ... hello? ( she looks absolutely dreadful. )

oh, nei ...! you don't have to run, you know ... i'm not gonna go anywhere.

birdsong is one of the loveliest sounds in existence, wouldn't you agree?

h-hey, give me a bit of space, here ...! ( she hesitates for a moment before slowly returning the hug, letting out a heavy sigh. ) im glad to see you are well, nei. that is all i could wish for.

don't have to say that again, haha ... i understand far too well. ( taking a moment to let herself just ... melt. she hadn't realized how tense her body was until now, from her clenched fists to her knitted brow. ) things have just ... been kinda rough. y'know?

i dunno, just ... i've done a lot of introspection, i guess. now that hisui is at peace now more than it's ever been, there's just ... not much for me to do, haha. so i guess i've just kind of ... become a shut-in, of sorts.

train ... for what, exactly? ( averting her eyes, thinking to herself. ) last time i had to 'train', it was with gaeric. and all he taught me is combat throws and made me run laps around the icelands.

you're ... still being kinda vague. ( she chuckled, a genuine smile on her lips. ) i suppose i can't object, though. you're one of the most stubborn people i've ever met, for better or worse.

( what the hell is a ... ... nevermind. she has other things to worry about. ) right, right ... i'm at your mercy, nei. so go easy on me!

ever since those kids fell from the sky, the people of hisui have adapted some new sayings and phrases. each one is more nonsensical than the last ...

almighty sinnoh, what did i get myself into ... alright, then. i'll ... be ready when you are, i suppose.

er ... did i ... offend you ...?

no, don't apologize! it's alright. i space out a lot, too. ... er ... did you ... want to say anything?

// im alive again hiii im sorry. do you ever just feel like a worm

the ice type ... while not without its drawbacks, i believe it can be deadly in the hands of the right person.

now who just made me see adaman in a bunny outfit. on this fine tuesday evening.

a punch back will do.

hm ... i'm getting the urge to travel, all of a sudden. there really is so much of this world that hasn't been explored, and this is just a reminder of that.

ugh ... nightmare. ( she seems somewhat disturbed ... )
