....true.

Military types are ones to gossip.

Heh! I think that's just human nature.

....point. There was a lot of people talking about others that game.

Yeah, that's not really a surprise. Even if it's not meant maliciously, people's secrets aren't always just theirs.

That's very true. Only fives I had involved other people.

Yeah, same here. It's actually pretty hard to come up one that's just yours.

Yeah. At least anything that doesn't sound fucking terrible.

Yeah, that's probably another reason they're usually kept secret.

Basically.

...did Rean really have a reason to worry about you going away? [Listen]

[He has to ask]

[ Rean had more reasons to worry than he even knew about. But that's not what Crow says. Instead, he grins and winks at Dusk. ]

Of course not. He wasn't gonna get rid of me that easy.

Huh. Wonder why he was worried then.

Well, I was gonna be graduating soon if I had the credits. I was a year ahead of him, after all. He probably thought I'd be heading off to start a career somewhere-- maybe somewhere far away from Trista.

I see. Just weird. Usually helping with a kidnapping is a good bonding experience beyond normal schoolmates.

Good to know never to lend you money though.

[ Crow lets out a laugh at that. ]

Doesn't seem like it'd be as much of a problem with sparks economy, anyway.

That would be quite the trick, but we do have a long road ahead of us.

We'll just have to see how things turn out.

But that's why it's important to have buddy's. [And he'll give Crow one of his own winks.]

[ Crow grins at that. ]

Haha, you've got the right idea!

[He smiles and looks at the screen.]

So what did happen after you graduated? Do you remember yet?

[ Well. ]

Nah, I haven't remembered what happens yet.

[ It's TECHNICALLY not even a lie. ]

Pretty much all of my memories so far have been before then.

Really? Is that normal?

[ Crow shrugs loosely, shaking his head. ]

I don't know what counts as normal. It's my normal, anyway. I've had some memories from my first and second year at the academy and a couple when I was younger than that. The rest will come whenever, but unfortunately it's not like I get a choice in what it is, only when I get 'em.

[...that would be very unnerving, to have memories of later life just...missed like that.]

I guess that's true.

Well, if you ever want more sparks to get memories faster, I'm good to help you get them.

[ To be fair, he only looks a couple of years older than he did when he was at the academy so it's not like it's too much more. ]

I'm always up for earning more sparks.

[Hey, in those couple of years, Rean apparently became a spirit that then lived for five hundred years. And who knows what Faito's been up to.]

Sure. Affection seems to the easiest thing to do unless you can whip out a dramatic emotional monologue on the fly.

Hair ruffles seem to work pretty well. [Pause.] Just don't surprise me from behind. There's a nonzero chance I'd flip you.
