4th Dusting

[Voice]

How many of you got demons back home? Or met 'em here? Tell me about 'em.

Though they are everyone's problem. Back home they're trying to do something big and bad that involves destroying the whole country.

Wow. [A beat. It reminds her of Harth] People ready to fight back for it?

Yeah, before I came here my two best friends and a couple of their comrades left to go stop it.

[Meaning she stayed behind. See? Not info-girl or fighter-girl. She knows she has her part to play in the scheme of things, but... waiting is still tough.]

Oh. That's good. [What the hell is a small team like that going to do against a threat to a country, she can't help but think. But she isn't good to question it]

And I think their father was going to help too? Anyway, unless you count mad alchemists I think that's all we have that is close to what you were asking for.

Huh. ...Alchem's pretty important where you're from, isn't it?

It's a large and popular field of science.

If it can do stuff like make fake people I can see why.

Some people think it can be used to bring back the dead. That - that's a lie, though.

...Not surprising. Pretty hard to do that.

It really shouldn't be done, I don't think. The consequences for trying - even without succeeding - are pretty steep.

Consequences? You think those are universal?

I'd think so, yeah. Death is a natural part of life, even if it is sad. Trying to go against that is wrong.

That's a heavy thought. [...Sigh] Sorta agree though.

Oh, and... I want to apologize. For trying to... you know, eat you.

You were gonna be gentle.

I kind of lied. Think you can forgive me?

I'll give it a shot.

I appreciate it, Melaka.

'Course, if you do eat me, we'd have a problem.

Trust me, I'm not normally cannibalistic.

Hope not - last that that ate me I ended up killing.

Ate you? As in... succeeded?

I... was on what I fig was a tongue at one point.

Yuck. Hope you got a proper bath after that.
