[Thwumps down next to her, rubbing at his eyes tiredly]

That was a dirty trick.

[nohalation]

What happened? Who tricked you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[HUFFS INDIGNANTLY]

You did! I wasn't planning on sleeping in the Game Tower.

[nohalation]

Whaaaaaaaa! I didn't do it to trick you! I just did not stop you!

[maybe that part was a little intentional]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So you admit to being half guilty.

[nohalation]

[!]

Noooooooo...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So you're claiming complete innocence?

[nohalation]

Yes. I am innocent!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Huffs out a laugh]

Fine. But I'm keeping an eye on you.

You're too tricksy for your own good.

[nohalation]

That means you’re tricksy, too!!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But of course. You can't seal a win without the proper use of trap cards.

[nohalation]

Then it cannot be helped! It's just how it is!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Reaches over to ruffle her hair lightly]

[nohalation]

[Smiling a genuine smile at hair ruffle.]

That does make me feel a little better.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Can we talk about your dream now?

[nohalation]

[sits up a little straighter.]

Yes. Where do we begin?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Eyebrow raise]

. . . This isn't an interrogation.

[nohalation]

[Headtilt.]

I know. Why do you say that?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He is silent for a few seconds, but eventually just shakes his head.]

Never mind. That's not important.

I want to talk about your party first.

[nohalation]

Okay. Yes, I had wanted everyone to be together once we all escape from Imeeji.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Who are you afraid of losing?

[nohalation]

[Thinks on it.]

Everyone. For everyone has different homes to return to. Some will possibly stay here in Imeeji. Some will return to their worlds.

[Like you.]

It is possible that exploring through enough labyrinths from my home means I can find a way to visit my Imeeji friends! But once a labyrinth wall shifts, it is possible that I will lose the way to my friends, and you can never predict when that will happen.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And knowing that - you still want to return to Halation?

[nohalation]

[ pause ]

Yes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Why?
