Wow, a few years? [it's crazy to imagine herself a few years from now.. or the world in general]

Does it seem strange that I'm younger?

[knightofcourage]

Only one person from our world isn't from around that time, so not really.

[she replies with a sheepish 'aha...' sort of laugh. but that makes her wonder]

Is that... lonely?

[knightofcourage]

[Oh no she knows. Emil doesn't want to make her worry, though!]

I'm all right. Um, but...since you don't know what happens in my time, there's something I need to tell you.

[boi she knows her way around the 'smile as if there's nothing wrong' block. SHE OWNS THIS STREET!! but yeah, aka, she's still not very convinced. However, sounds like there's something serious to talk about sooooo]

Okay! What is it?

[This is the part where her being from his time would make everything about a thousand times easier especially. Unfortunately, he's not that lucky.]

I'm not just Emil. I know this will sound strange, but...I'm also Ratatosk, the Summon Spirit of the Giant Kharlan Tree.

[... ... ... you can practically see a "message failed to load, please try again" message on her face, but she nods slowly... trying to seem like she understands]

You're... also? Mm... like a secret identity?

[knightofcourage]

[Um...]

Not exactly.

[Not anymore? Something like that.]

I took on a human form two years ago, although it wasn't for good reasons.

[video; private]

[selfless]

Oh.

Is it okay if I ask what your reasons were?

[video; private]

[knightofcourage]

I blamed humans and half-elves for the death of my tree, and when I reawakened I tried to destroy them all. Taking on this form was my way of hiding myself from threats...and I don't want to do any of that now, of course! But I can't pretend I didn't do some horrible things.

[selfless]

Mm, but I think everyone has done things that they really regret. [she offers a smile]

Being able to admit it is something that only a strong person can do.

[video; private]

[knightofcourage]

[Strong? What? Emil's a little flustered by that, because it doesn't seem true at all.]

Not really. I just...I didn't want to deceive you again.

[video; private]

[selfless]

Ah... okay.

Is there anything else important that I should know? Um, about the future?

[video; private]

[knightofcourage]

Well, a lot's happened. There was a lot of trouble between Sylvarant and Tethe'alla, but I think we avoided the worst that could happen. And with Marta and you and the others...I'm sure things will be all right.
