Some of us have squares to fill too, you know.

[ She smiles mischeviously: ] And some of us are just easy targets for them.

That's fair.

[He is easily bulliable. He knows this.]

[ Nudges him slightly: ]

So what else do you got? Thanks to you, I've got another Bingo if I get another talking square - [ You can almost hear the roll of her eyes she holds back in her voice, ] How about you?

I can get a bingo if I put someone in a bubble... Or do a cheer together with someone?

[He really can't imagine Astrid doing cheerleading stuff.]

[ He's right super cheery Astrid is canonically a sign of going insane from sleep deprivation Astrid - ]

A bubble is probably okay? It doesn't say how long you have to be in it right?

Right. It'll only be for a second and then you'll be out.

Only for a second.

[ She doesn't like the idea of being at the mercy of someone else at all. ]

Okay.

[It takes him a second to work out how to summon water - apparently a thing sirens can do - but a sphere of water will briefly surround Astrid before disappearing. Hope she didn't swallow any of it.]

[ She doesn't swallow any of it - despite a moment of surprise. The bubble disappears and it was water so she's(?) probably wet now which isn't comfortable at all: ]

Ugh.

[ Trying to wring out some clothes - ] What else is next?

Sorry. -I think it's your turn, but could you warn me this time?

Don't worry, there's nothing else I have that could use warning for. And you can't warn someone if you're going to scare them - [ The other one was because she had him there so she might as well: ]

Besides, the one I have for a bingo there is 'Talk about the Future'.

That one's not that bad. Have you thought about what you'll use your wish for when if you graduate?

Not really? [ She says it with a shrug, turns her attention away from him: ]

That's such a long ways off, it's not something I'm thinking much about. Right now, I want to focus on getting there. I have a lot of memories to regain before even thinking about it. [ But she does frown slightly, her hand hovering just at her heart before she breathes out a sigh: ]

But I do know whatever happens I'll be choosing to go home, to Berk. It needs to be protected and there's someone I need to help for that to happen.

[ Because she's dutybound to protecting others first and she already knows a little - Rye talked extensively about Berk's needs and what Tokyo-F could offer. ]

That makes sense You have plenty of time to decide.

-I've thought about my wish, but I haven't thought about whether I want to go home or not yet, so we're opposites there. If the ghost that threatens my village is laid to rest, it won't need protecting anymore, and I could go wherever I wanted.

[ She's quiet a moment before offering: ]

As much as I enjoy seeing the rest of what the world has to offer, even if I could go somewhere else... It's my home and they're my people.

Are you happy there, in your memories so far? ...I know it's probably hard to tell from just a couple.

I bought another one with Rion earlier for one of the squares.

[ She mentions, frowning slightly. She rubs a hand against her elbow as she considers and then exhales: ]

I'm happier there than I am here. [ It's a quiet admission and she moves to raise a hand as if to say 'it's not like that' ] You guys are great. But I knew who I was there and where I was going - I was a Dragon Rider and I was happy to help protect our home.

[ Even if it was dangerous - it was just part of life. ]

[Rather than get upset at the statement, Robin smiles a tiny bit.]

That's good. You have somewhere you want to return to. ...I'm a little bit jealous.

You could always come back too, you know.

[ Look if Rye can invite people to Berk so can she - ]

To your home? -You'd want me to come?

[????]

[ Don't give her that look she'll take it back. She nods, glancing away as she brushes some hair back behind her ear with the slight curling downwards of her lips. ]

If you wanted, it's an option. Rye's already said he's offered it to some people here... Berk's a safe haven for dragons and people.

[ That's what Rye wants it to be and she'll support that. ]

[it's the None Self-Esteem again]

--Thank you. I'll have to think it over, but... thank you.

It's an option that will always be there.

[ Easily answered, though she offers lightly - ] But you'd have to get used to a life nothing like the one here.

[ Well, Rye's talking about trying to bring some of Tokyo-f's tech back but also look. ]

I don't think I'd miss the horrible games and being someone else's entertainment that much.

Well, yeah. But I meant Berk is just Berk - We don't exactly have running water or electricity.
