[Zelgadis is facing the sea of lava, but he'll glance over.]

Most likely. That's going to be our place to start.

[Lavi's brow furrows, then he sighs.]

...We were on a different island. ...Was he chased all the way there, like Eto?

Could be. Maybe he thought he'd find a better place to hide over there. Or to fight back.

Hiding makes sense.

[fighting back. ....]

He wouldn't have given up, if it came down to a fight.

I think so, too. Don't know that he'd be any good at it, but he wanted to live.

...Do you know if he was learning at all? Like, maybe someone here was helping him spar?

[He shakes his head.]

If he was, it wasn't from me.

Guess that's something we can ask tomorrow.

I wonder if he got anything else from home, besides the ribbon.

Didn't seem like he'd have any weapons... Although, those things don't seem to be limited to our own possessions.

[he perks up at that]

Yeah? ...Maybe he got something his friend Rider had. He mentioned that Rider was a warrior.

Huh. [Sounds like he didn't know that.] Something to keep in mind, then.

[i hope nameless just got another ribbon]

...I meant to say it yesterday, but thanks for bringing Tuuri over to the theater.

[oh cute he could have pigtails.]

You don't have to thank me for that.

I thought this before, but... you're a pretty cool guy, Zel.

What...?
