...Has anyone else ever found a particular item in the shop, and thought that it must have been placed there to taunt you? Would the Malnosso even commit such a petty act? At least it should match the pansies...

[With that said, Cecil can be found at any point on the road between the item shop and house 32, bearing... a flower in a small vase?]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I know you wouldn't. You're my friend.

[paladinlost]

I know friends who lie to each other, at times.

[lostinmyway]

[She's honestly puzzled.] Why would they do that?

[paladinlost]

For a thousand reasons or none, depending on their whims.

[lostinmyway]

But that isn't very nice. You aren't supposed to lie to your friends.

[paladinlost]

Many things happen that are not supposed to.

[lostinmyway]

Yes, that's right, but that still doesn't mean it's good to lie to your friends.

[paladinlost]

Should we find anyone who does, you'll have to remind them.

[lostinmyway]

All right. I will. It's very important for them to know that.

[paladinlost]

They'll even listen, if you are lucky.

[lostinmyway]

Why wouldn't they listen?

[paladinlost]

Because people can be terribly stubborn.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but it's very important. I'm sure they'll understand.

[paladinlost]

...You believe in people quite a lot, don't you.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes. It's very important to believe in others, so they can be strong and do their best.

[paladinlost]

I believe in people as much as I can, but they make it hard, sometimes.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but that's when it's even more important to believe in others. Because that's when they need it most.

[paladinlost]

What is they need it but refuse it?

[lostinmyway]

Then you just keep believing in them until they don't refuse it anymore.

[paladinlost]

...A battle of stubborness. Rosa was always better at those.

[lostinmyway]

She must be very good at it. [Grune, that isn't always a complimentary thing to say.]

[paladinlost]

She is, no matter how much I wish she was not.

[lostinmyway]

You don't want her to be good at being stubborn?

[paladinlost]

Not when it undoes my efforts to keep her safe.

[lostinmyway]

Doesn't she try to stay safe? It's very important. [...Says the woman who will throw herself into any danger for her friends.]
