what do you do when something you were told, turns out not to be true anymore? not true here? when you have more time than you thought. i didn't have to really think about the future. but here, i don't have to worry. i can plan. i mean, besides helping on missions.

[Being told he probably wouldn't live much longer than a year or so. And then Aurora reassured him that that wasn't the case. Vivi now has a lot to consider....]

Should I be scared? Are you planning on jumping out at me?

[ornitiers]

huh? no? nothing like that?!

[maellum]

You won't scare me then.

[ornitiers]

you sure?

[maellum]

Why are you so sure I'll be scared?

[ornitiers]

it wouldn't be the first time. i guess, people here have been pretty good about it, so far. but, i know i look different.

[maellum]

Different isn't scary to me.

[ornitiers]

okay. if you're sure.

[maellum]

Completely sure. No doubt at all.

[ornitiers]

okay then. if you're sure.

[maellum]

You're too cute to be scary, anyway.

[ornitiers]

i am? but you haven't met me properly yet?

[maellum]

And? I can still tell.

[ornitiers]

how does that work?

[maellum]

<font face="courier>Easy. This whole exchange is very cute.

[ornitiers]

i'm still not sure i get it. but i guess i think of cute as something like baby chocobo chicks. not me?

[maellum]

I'll be the judge once I see some.

[ornitiers]

at the least, i know there's some adult chocobos around. so there might be some babies. eventually.

[maellum]

The big ones have to be cute too, no?

[ornitiers]

i think so. the babies are easier for me to pet and all.

[maellum]

I'm short, too.

[ornitiers]

you're still probably taller than i am. most everyone is.

[maellum]

Only one way to find out!

[ornitiers]

i guess. but if you're taller than a nine-year-old, you're probably taller than me.

[maellum]

Wait, so you think I'd be afraid of someone shorter than me?
