[ ... he doesn't say it immediately, but after a second he nods back ]

Yeah. Can't keep letting it drag us down.

[keeper]

[ she smiles. ]

It's not always easy. A little dragging here and there is understandable.

...But it's nice to know our friends are there for us. [ the ones she's seen here, and in his memories. she can tell he's well-cared for. ]

And you can count on me, too.

[ oh. there's a beat where he looks a little surprised and then he... sort of smiles... wow ]

Right. Me too.

[ even if he looks a little embarrassed about it!! ]

[keeper]

[residentmerc]

Well... We were on a plane. Still not sure how they grabbed us.

[ the tiny bronco is TOO SMALL for that, but even though this does not tell aqua at all WHY they were on a plane: ]

What about you?

[keeper]

Traveling, huh... Daan and Marina were on a train.

[ ... ]

The place you saw just now—the realm of darkness. I was there.

[residentmerc]

[ oh good now that she is mentioning it. ]

... What is it, anyway? I thought you said you traveled worlds.
