[There's a little purple dragonette sitting on Hatter's fingers biting at one of nir nails.]

What a shame the little princess isn't around to enjoy these. She'd be most useful once they grow bigger.

[beyourarmy]

I don't know. I've never tried to eat a princess.

[indecent_butterfly]

[Just laughing at you Setsuna. Ne hadn't planned on that one but you always fall into them.]

[beyourarmy]

What? What's so funny? The only princess I knew was Kurai, and I bet she'd kick anyone's ass if they tried to bite her, anyway.

[indecent_butterfly]

It is nothing. [Ne's promised to be good or pretend as best ne can. Speaking of Kurai.]

It seems she was here once before.

Gah, that was right before I picked up Setsuna, too. ;; Just missed her

[beyourarmy]

[He still looks baffled, but completely forgets about that when the mention of Kurai is brought up.]

She was? When?

aww

[indecent_butterfly]

One is not certain, but it seems Valentine spoke with her.

[beyourarmy]

I didn't know that.

She shows up, sometimes. On those days all the strange people come? I've seen her a couple of times.

[indecent_butterfly]

This One has seen her as well.

[beyourarmy]

Maybe it's better that way, though. I'm not sure I'd want her trapped here.

[That isn't to say he doesn't miss her.]

[indecent_butterfly]

There are few One would wish this on. And others One would not wish to inflict the City with as well.

[beyourarmy]

Yeah. This place isn't for everyone. Some like it, and prefer it, but others are better off back home.

[Setsuna can't quite wish it on anyone one. At least not in the moment while he's at peace.]

[indecent_butterfly]

All are better off where they should be, where they will be, in the end. [Ne reaches over petting the little dragon once more.] We must enjoy what we have while we have it.

[beyourarmy]

I guess.... [His mood drops, a little, but he's still gentle with the dragon.] But yeah, I plan to enjoy what I can. For as long as I can.

Never know when I'll get whisked away back home.

[indecent_butterfly]

Then do not worry about that, given the City's propensity for chaos there are other things to worry about instead.

[They always end up confused or depressed don't they?]

[beyourarmy]

[It's better than always fighting. Maybe.]

[Setsuna perks up a little, at least.] Yeah, like these little guys. And finding out what to do for them. They probably have enough instinct to be drawn to what they like.

Still, it'd be nice to know.

[indecent_butterfly]

Animals do, but when they are small many still require care. [And they really don't want a repeat of the goat in the Underground...]

[beyourarmy]

Yeah, it's just a baby, now.

[He tries rubbing his finger under the dragon's chin.] And we should try to get a good idea of how big it's gonna get.

[indecent_butterfly]

As long as it doesn't get bigger than the goats and decide to eat them. The grounds are big enough to keep both around.

[beyourarmy]

It could. Some of the dragons at the zoo are huge.

[indecent_butterfly]

Big is one thing, eating the goats is another. They are the only of their kind. We may have to keep them on opposite sides of the grounds.

[beyourarmy]

Yeah, I kinda like the goats.

[indecent_butterfly]

They are fascinating and Serrure isn't around to create any others now.

[beyourarmy]

Oh, that little kid Karl terrorized? He left?

[indecent_butterfly]

It was not entirely Karl's fault. The little thief caused more than his fair share of problems. [Of course ne's smiling about it.]

[beyourarmy]

Oh? It's hard to tell with Karl, sometimes. [Gives the smile a wary look.]
