[She seems to be out and about in town somewhere, in pretty good spirits. Possibly because even though it's morning and she hasn't seen too many of the pictures that are flying around yet, she's already found a fun one of Yuri that she plans on holding onto, at least until it will likely disappear at the end of the day.]

This seems like it should be an interesting day. [And so far not as obtrusive as the candy hearts were.] I wonder if there are any of these with me in them.

[As if on cue, a picture falls down from the sky, briefly showing on the screen before she catches it, looks at it, and laughs a little.]

I guess so. [A slight pause, and then a little more distantly.] I miss that outfit.

[Private to Justin]

[She glances at what is clearly a picture she's holding but isn't visible to the camera as it stands.]

You have a nice smile. I'd like to see it in person sometime.

[Action -- If you are Garrus]

[Judith has amassed a small collection of photos by this point, and is presently leaning against the wall of one of the buildings, idly flipping through them.]

[Action -- For anyone else who finds her later]

[Judith has found a tree to sit under for a little while, and while she still seems to have a nice little collection of photos with her, she seems to be mostly interested in just sitting and staring at this one.]

[There's a very slight shift in her expression, but it would be hard to put a finger on it.]

Have you found some like that, then?

[Ken nods, then shows her one. He's already talked a bit about him anyway, and Judith has Ba'ul. There's a level of trust and understanding there, at least for Ken.]

That's my partner with me, when I was younger a little after we just first met.

Aww, he's so cute. [Whatever was off about her expression is gone again. She's happy she got to see Ken's partner, after hearing about him before.]

[Ken nods his head.] Yeah, he is. If he ever comes here I'll tell him you said that. [Ken notices that something changed, and wonders.... Should he even ask? It's probably personal.]

I hope he won't mind. [She can't help but laugh a little, imagining a very cute worm-like thing getting indignant about being called cute.]

I don't think he will. [Probably just be a little flattered and embarrassed, and shy about it, much like Ken would be if told that.]

[Which would just be cuter.]

I hope I get to meet him someday.

[As much for Ken's sake as hers. She can't imagine what it would be like if Ba'ul hadn't come here with her.

Also, she hasn't been thinking about it for the moment, but that picture she had been staring at is sitting in plain view. She set the stack down beside her at some point and left that one sitting on top.]

I do too, in a way. [At the same time, Ken didn't really Wormmon in a place that might do horrible things to him. He already died once.... How would he be reborn here?]

[He does notice the pictures, his eyes observant, and smiles sadly. He remembers the memory of hers he saw, and what little they talked about. He can guess enough. That's probably her father, and she likely hasn't seen her parents in a very long time. She probably never would outside of that image. That makes him feel spoiled, and sympathetic towards her. He doesn't want to mention it because it's obviously a sensitive thing for her - she didn't show him the picture willingly earlier, after all - but he can't not say something so she's aware.]

Ah, Judith-san, your picture. Um. [He looks down at it, abashed, then back to her.]

Hm?

[She glances down at it, and picks it up again, though not to hide it. Rather, she holds it so they can both see it clearly. It is sensitive, but it's not something she quite meant to hide, especially given what he already knows. If anything, she would have spared him having to think about it. As it turns out, he noticed it on his own, but it should be obvious enough that she doesn't mind. She smiles slightly looking at it, even if it's a sad sort of smile.]

It's from a long time ago. [Obviously, given how small she is in it. But even then, it still feels longer than it is.] That's my father.

[He had figured on both things - that it was from a long time ago, and her father - but Ken smiles when she tells him, feeling a pang of empathy. He tries to keep things light on the surface, though.]

It's not such a bad thing, finding these pictures? I'm glad I got to see it. You look very happy there.

I do, don't I? [She smiles as she looks at the picture, though it has a distinctly wistful quality to it.]

No, it's not a bad thing. I don't have any pictures of him other than this. [And as much as it's a sad reminder of how things once were, it's also a happy memory. She hopes the picture isn't just going to disappear at the end of the day like most curses do.]

[Ken's hoping his doesn't disappear either.]

Yeah, I look happy in the other one I have, too.

Do you think we'll be able to keep these?

I don't know. Usually things from days like this just disappear. I hope we get to keep these, though.

So do I.

We can tell each other later if they disappeared or not.

[A smile.] Alright.
