[the petting zoo's actually kind of nice and soothing. also? dinosaur-free. so as sora approaches with the intent of just hanging out for a while and debating his next move, he finds himself face-to-face with someone he's actually been wanting to speak with.
sometimes lucky things happen that way.]
Hey. [he'll approach fiora and lean against the pen holding the animals in, giving her a grin before glancing at a nearby sheep.] They're kinda cute, aren't they?
[ she continues to enjoy the weird and wild animal life of Not the Bionis - especially because it all seems so friendly here! She'll be petting a friendly goat when he arrives. Fiora can't really feel its fur, but just being able to give affection feels nice enough on its own. ]
They really are. We don't have them on my world. I've gotten to see all sorts of interesting things here - two weeks in a row now!
[ the dinosaurs, however, are completely normal to her... not that this will come up. she turns to face him, a friendly smile on her face. ]
Long time no chat, Sora! Sorry for being a bit rude to you back when we first met. I was stressed out, to say the least.
[i have many concerns why dinosaurs are normal. but sora doesn't know that so he laughs slightly.]
That's definitely exciting. It's been nice seeing all of these different places and things each week. Sort of like we get to travel but without the long journey.
[but he shakes his head at that.] Don't worry about it. I think a lot of people were a little freaked out about this place when we got here. Are you feeling at least a little better now?
Yeah...tell me about it. I think there's a lot happening here that makes it harder to be totally fine, but at the same time we have to focus on the good things that've happened.
[murder is bad.] ...do you want to talk about it? [maybe he can help.]
Thanks, but it's all right. I think everything's been said that can be said, at this point. Besides, I'd rather find a way to fix it than commiserate on it.
Fair enough. I definitely want to find a way to fix things, too. [he's shifting to stand on his toes, leaning forward so he can pet one of the sheep that come up toward him.] Have you talked to your Leader much yet about what we can do?
I'm not sure yet. I think maybe I might've, but at the same time I think they learn more the more we talk to them. I know mine's been learning from me because they can see what's going on, and then I explain things.
[there's a pause.]
Besides, I don't think you have to wait for something special to want to talk to Swan.
[ i mean, the casualness is comforting... to a degree. ]
Oh... Right. They did tell me they could do that. [ Fiora sighs, tension easing out of her shoulders, mechanical though they might be. ] So we're on the same team, then? You're the first one I've met.
Yeah. You were the last one I needed to find. [he beams.] So now that we have, I think I can bring everybody together so we can all be on the same page and know what's going on.
Yeah. I have suspicions about who it might be, but I'm going to talk to Swan again later to confirm it. It doesn't help us now, but it may in the future.
I'm not sure what it means yet, but I hope we can work together for sure. I'll try to get people together soon so we can start figuring out what we know and go from there.

As much as I can be. [ a shrug. ] I'm feeling better about some things and worse about others, you know?
[ like the murder ]

[ and with everything else going on, she's been distracted. there's a lot for fiora to be worried about. ]
Did you learn something special we're supposed to be doing, Sora?

So now you've found all of us... Does that mean something? We could work together, I suppose, but I'm not a fan of the game.
