• Selene: ...Oh. You're concerned about that.
• Selene: Ok, uhm, I guess you've never been drunk before, have you...
• Selene: Don't worry, we can keep your beautiful innocence intact,
• Selene: Since you have lil' ol' me here to tell you aaaall about it!
• Selene: Anyways. It's different from person to person.
• Selene: Sure, a glass of water after waking up may sober him up with less of a headache, but I doubt you need to be there to do anything, ultimately.
• Selene: Someone used to drinking this much knows how to deal with it on their own.
• Selene: Besides, if you're gonna pretend to not have seen anything anyways...
• Selene: Then you don't wanna be there when he wakes up!

-/-/-/->

• Lune: ...So you've already known about Kaji's drinking habits.
• Lune: I guess it was only me who didn't.
• Selene: Haha! You and our princely boy here.
• Selene: But I stayed silent out of respect for Kaji's privacy, you know?
• Selene: Still, like, I get it.
• Selene: Humans already drown their sorrows with destructive habits.
• Selene: Who's to say angels can't do the same?
• Selene: That's why I wasn't surprised, and neither should you be.
• Lune: But isn't it a bit sad that our world corrupted him like this?
• Selene: Aww! I know how you feel. :(
• Selene: Kaji's like a little brother you can't help but want to shield from the ugly side of reality, isn't he!
• Selene: But... what if he's seen worse than what we've been through?
• Lune: Including you too?
• Lune: That... would be difficult.
• Selene: Well, Kaji's a winged. And it's not like he's a kid.
• Selene: He can get back up on his feet just fine.
• Lune: Doesn't stop you from teasing him like a child, though.
• Selene: Hehehe! I can't help it!

-/-/-/->

• Selene: Anyway... I can't believe the captain's going rogue before my eyes.
• Selene: Why, Ruit's dearest won't heed his word! What is the world coming to?
• Lune: That's not it. Don't talk like that.
• Selene: Hehe. I am actually surprised you decided to go off on your own...
• Selene: Even if you technically did get permission.
• Selene: So where in the world are you off to next?
• Lune: Nowhere yet. Still looking over Icicle Bay.
• Lune: I reflected over as soon as I heard about the disruptions... again.
• Lune: Since this is the closest site to the barrier.
• Selene: Ah, my Luna constructs come in handy once again!
• Selene: Gosh, aren't I a genius for letting you go places just by thinking it?
• Lune: Well, if there's one thing to count on you for, it's technological support.
• Selene: You're welcome, you're welcome!
• Lune: Although I can't begin to imagine how you've done it...
• Lune: It certainly does work flawlessly.
• Selene: I mean, if you want, I can explain eeeeverything to you, Lune.
• Selene: It has something to do with your unique ability, the behavior of light, and a funny little thing called the refractive index.
• Lune: No... thanks, but no thanks.
• Lune: The details don't particularly interest me.
• Lune: I didn't pick a scientific branch in the academy for a reason.
• Selene: Boo, you military branchers get so easily spooked by fun numbers.
• Selene: All you know is using your stabby swords for stabby business.
• Lune: If you say so. Nerd.
• Selene: Don't call me that! I'm too fashionable to be one.
• Selene: By the way, Ruit's still talking to you - other you, and has no idea what's going on here. It's so funny!
• Lune: Hm. I fail to see the comedy there.
• Selene: No, trust me, it's a very comical ruse.
• Lune: I'm not laughing, though?
• Selene: I am. Hehehe!
• Selene: Do you feel too bad about a little white lie to join me in my MIRTH?
• Lune: White or not, it is still... dishonesty.
• Selene: He trusts us to solve this, you don't have to tell him your every move!
• Lune: Worry not, I'm not changing my plan at this stage.
• Lune: But I still wish I could've done things a bit differently.
• Selene: Eh! Is it really unforgivable to lie to the prince if you're just gonna act in his best interests, anyways? Maybe he'd be sad if he found out, buuuut...
• Selene: He'd agree that ultimately, what's important is getting results.
• Selene: And, you know...

-/-/-/->

• Selene: I can tell that he's seriously concerned here.
• Selene: Even though he keeps downplaying it, like he's holding back.
• Lune: Most certainly.
• Lune: He's always anxious about telling others what to do.
• Selene: Gosh, it's exactly the same as whenever something's up with his arm.
• Selene: He gets all coy about needing a refit or maintenance...
• Selene: Even though he knows I don't mind! I made the damn thing, you goober!
• Selene: I swear, he worries too much.
• Lune: Yes. It's a bad habit of his highness.
• Lune: That's why I suggested we venture out to quell his worries.
• Selene: Yep! I'm telling you, it's the right call!
• Selene: So you honestly shouldn't feel bad about anything. I sure don't!
• Selene: And thankfully, self-governing is nothing new to me.
• Lune: I'll be honest, though...
• Lune: Choosing to act on my own is more uncomfortable than I expected.
• Lune: I'm not used to this.
• Selene: Hmm? But Ruit doesn't order you around that much in the first place!
• Lune: Well. He tries his damnedest not to.
• Lune: However, I'm often able to tell what he wants regardless.
• Lune: The desires of a prince are orders, are they not?
• Selene: Jeez, your dedication is something else!
• Selene: Has he really never given you a direct order before?
• Lune: None recently.
• Lune: There is... only one that comes to mind.

Command.

• Lune: ...But it's nothing important.
• Lune: Just that I may be too used to reporting my findings to another person.
• Lune: I suppose I'm not well-suited in leading investigative missions.
• Selene: Oh! Well, I was gonna saaaay... that person could be me!
• Selene: After all, we're collaborating here!
• Selene: Plus, acting as an overseer is practically my job title, hehe.

Lune: Search.

• Selene: Now tell me, how's it going on icey bay?
• Lune: Thus far... there's very little here.
• Lune: That thieving problem was solved overnight.
• Lune: So right now, the island is very calm.
• Selene: Huh, doesn't sound like anything there has to do with the disruptions...
• Lune: But, the former-thief-turned-citizen has already left the island, apparently.
• Lune: She stayed at a local hotel for less than a day.
• Lune: Other than that, nothing seems off.
• Selene: Eh, she left her new residence that quickly?
• Selene: Even though, as the mermaid spokeswoman told you,
• Selene: Kaji pretty much secured her a job and everything?
• Selene: That's something to keep in mind for sure!
• Lune: ...But she is a winged.
• Lune: I see no reason for such a person to be involved in crossing the barrier.
• Selene: Hmh, still, I'd note that down if I were you!
• Selene: We've got to keep all possibilities in mind, sister.

-/-/-/->

• Lune: Well, for what it's worth...

Lune: Unlock room.

• Lune: I will still pursue her trail, even if it may not lead anywhere.
• Selene: Good! Let's not just assume winged don't care for our humanly affairs.
• Selene: Quite the contrary, in fact!
• Selene: For them, our wishes are the greatest resource.
• Lune: That's a fair point.
• Selene: Should I sail over and have a look around the place too?
• Selene: Might take me a while, but I don't mind.
• Selene: Or heck, I can send over an entire elite fleet anytime you want!
• Lune: I believe that won't be necessary.
• Lune: This island is small enough that I can cover it alone.
• Selene: Hmm. Whatcha thinking, then?

-/-/-/->

• Lune: Leave the physical travel to me.
• Lune: And on your end, could you...
• Lune: ...

-/-/-/->

Lune: Inspect paper.

• Lune: Impossible.
• Selene: Huh? What is?
• Lune: ...
• Selene: Lune?
• Selene: You okay there?
• Lune: ...Selene.
• Lune: Tomorrow, when the memorial starts...
• Lune: Could I come meet you face to face?
• Selene: Huh? If we have time for that, then of course!
• Selene: You don't even need to ask, you know! So... why even ask?
• Selene: Seriously, is something up?
• Lune: ...I'm fine.
• Lune: I have something to share with you later.
• Selene: ...Can't do it over the phone?
• Lune: No.
• Selene: Um, then... let another copy of you handle it?
• Selene: You do know I could be face to face with a you right now, don't you!
• Lune: That won't do.
• Lune: Memories aren't shared if I'm active in multiples.
• Selene: Oh! So you found something there?
• Selene: Uh, but wait, doesn't this mean I have to wait for THIS specific you to travel aaaall the way back, just to merge again!?
• Selene: Gosh, I forgot what a tangled web you weave!
• Lune: Yes, but don't worry about that.
• Lune: As soon as possible, I'll come to you myself as one.
• Lune: And it won't be a meeting for leisure.
