...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?]

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?

[paladinlost]

He's only eighteen. He's still too young.

[Even if Rosa had him at nineteen.]

[lostinmyway]

He is?

[One of her close friends had his daughter at nineteen. This seems reasonable to her.]

[paladinlost]

I've no trouble with waiting a few years for grandchildren.

[Hypocrite~]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, really? Don't you want grandchildren?

[paladinlost]

...Someday. But not today.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, all right. When you do have grandchildren, you should bring them to play with Sophie. I'm sure that would make her very happy.

[paladinlost]

If she's not too old to play with infants by then, at least.
