...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?]

Can't she protect both of you?

[paladinlost]

Not if we are separated.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, then you just need to stay together.

[paladinlost]

Yet it'd be unfair to stop Ceodore from seeing the world with his own eyes.

[lostinmyway]

Wouldn't he like to travel with his family?

[Grune has clearly never been a teenage boy.]

[paladinlost]

Every so often, but not all the time.

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... I wonder why.

[paladinlost]

Children have to spread their wings, after a certain age, if they want to find their place in the world.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, my, that sounds very important.

[paladinlost]

It is, even if it means we cannot always keep him safe.

[lostinmyway]

I think that's all right, as long as you do your best whenever you can.

[paladinlost]

We do, and so do our friends.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, that's good. He must feel very lucky to have so many people looking after him.

[paladinlost]

I'm not so certain about that, actually.

[lostinmyway]

Really? Why?

[paladinlost]

Because he's at an age where becoming independant is a worthy goal.

[lostinmyway]

But why wouldn't he want his friends to look after him? That's how you show you love someone.

[paladinlost]

I think he wants to be the one to look after them, now.

[lostinmyway]

Can't they take turns?

[paladinlost]

That depends on who is in danger at the time.

[lostinmyway]

Oh well. I'm sure it will work out.

[paladinlost]

Once he has children of his own, perhaps. That'll give him a new point of view.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, is he going to have a baby with someone special?

[paladinlost]

...Not yet. Certainly not yet.

[lostinmyway]

Why not?
