[ Despite an... enlightening? conversation with a coworker, Sylvarie still found herself wanting more perspectives on a topic that had been increasingly nagging at her.

To ask those from different parts of Vaikuntha was one thing, but what of asking those who were from different worlds altogether? Maybe one could at least provide some sense of peace. ]

I understand everyone is still settling in to life here, trying to discover for themselves how our world works. But the truth of the matter is, those who have been recovered from the Dream Width have made their own contributions to Vaikuntha as well, with their technology, cultures and customs. molding our way of life over many generations.

With that in mind, I would like to ask what it means to be an 'adult' in your worlds, what responsibilities come with being deemed as such? Does it involve a rite of passage, or is a person merely proclaimed as such once they are of a certain age? Even here what a person may or may not do differs drastically depending on which country you are in.

... And would those adult responsibilities mean going to a chocobo festival is out of the question and childish?

[ GOOD GRIEF SIR, HOLD YOUR CHOCOBOS. ]

I assure you, there will be other chances to meet with chocobos!

[ ... the cute fabled dances, though... ]

not these ones though! what if they do something special for the festival and you'll miss it all? and by the time the next one comes up all the babies will have grown up and you'll never get to see them when they're little!

think of the baby chocobos.

think of their tiny kwehs when you pet their soft little feathers.

can't you hear them call for you?

[ Patches you need to STOP— ]

Are you sure more won't be born next year? Are they even ready to leave their mothers?

[ He cannot see it, but she is slowly but surely crumbling as surely as certain crystals do... ]

who says they have to? i've seen chocobo chicks at ranches following their mothers around, i bet there are some at the festival too.

and okay, there might be new ones next year, but what if something happens and they have to cancel the event? or you might not be able to make it because you're too busy with other stuff? this could be your only chance in a loooong time!

You’ve already seen them? [ That is... entirely unfair, Primrose made a point to keep her away from those ‘foul creatures!,’ so yes, this post is currently going on without her knowledge. ]

You may be right, but what if something happens and I’m needed in the Center? This is where my responsibilities are.

aww come on, by that logic you'd have to be there 24/7 and never take a day off! they can hold down the fort for one day without you, right?

[She's even resisting the appeals to chocobo babies... All right, let's try something different.]

besides, looking after newbies is also your responsibility, riiight? it would be so shameful if you let a scatterbrain like me go all alone and something bad happened to me.... why, i might board the wrong ship, or fall into the ocean, or get lost in a strange land...... with no familiar face to turn to........ i'd be so sad and lonely.........

｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

[ ... Did he just use an emogi? ]

Though I doubt any of that would actually happen, you truly are interested in going that much?

[ Secretly she sighs. ] I’ll ask my coworkers and Sir Chandius, I know of one who would surely be all right to accompany you.

[ Because have you seen how short-staffed they are, HAVE YOU? ]

[He sure did.]

but it won't be as fun if you're not there too.

look, i know you really want to go, otherwise you wouldn't have asked if it was childish or not. as an entertainer, making people happy is MY responsibility. if i went to the festival knowing you were back here missing out on something that would have made you happy, i'd be spitting on everything my master taught me.

[...Oh no, he shouldn't have brought up Shisho today of all days. Quick, keep typing before the tears start coming.]

almost all our regulars back home were adults too you know. they got their jobs and responsibilities but they still came in to have a good time laughing at silly stories and dumb puns for a while.

[ ... It may have worked, or at the very least it has Sylvarie thinking of times long ago, an atmosphere so different it felt as if she were observing the life of another person altogether.

That’s right, her mother had adored the events in Yun’Ashia... and once upon a time, her father had, too. ]

I’ll consider it, if I can make the arrangements for those who want to go to reach there. I did not mean to be disrespectful to your art, if I have been with my behaviour.

[ Though now was the time to be secretive, as the conversation switches to private. ]

You may have to help me sneak away from my moogle, she’s the most adamant about the entire excursion and my participation.

yay!!!

Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

[SUCCESS. He probably should have checked with the others about going out of town first, but oh well. It's for a good cause!]

don't worry, i'm great at creating distractions! you can count on me!

[That poor moogle is going to have an eventful day.]

[ Again with the emogis, except in reality Sylvarie is trying her best not to laugh out loud. If Primrose were to overhear her it would all be for naught. ]

She has been extra vigilant about my behaviour and actions since everyone arrived, and already has experience with my efforts to escape.

[ Clearly she and Sylvarie’s father knew what they were doing when they were insistent she be assigned to the girl. ] What sorts of distractions would you have in mind?

first things first

can you get to yun'ashia on your own or do we need to smuggle you on the airship?

[He'd do it, too.]

[ It takes Sylvarie a few minutes to replay back—she may as well start sending the appropriate people those messages. ]

I hope it won’t come to that! I may be able to arrange transport for everyone.

oh good, that makes things a lot simpler

you take care of that, i'll get everything ready for your moogle
