...Yes. They probably all have each other, and I'm here all alone.

[tugging at her hair again, pulling out a few little clumps.]

[ DON'T PULL OUT YOUR HAIR? ]

You've, uh... got your rat familiar. With you.

You're right. I have Pâté here with me. Imogen might be all alone. I should be glad that at least I have Pâté.

... Who's Imogen?

My...friend. She's who I was with before I came here.

Was it just the two of you? [ and the rat, cloud, wow. ]

[shaking her head.]

We have other friends we travel with, too. But I've known Imogen the longest and she's the most important one.

[ he looks like he is thinking about someone himself when she says that ]

Then... she's probably still with the rest of 'em. She'll be alright.

[she nods. and doesn't immediately spiral and come up with another concern.]

...Yes. I'm sure she will be. Thank you.

I haven't... done anything.

[ except spy on her a lot technically ]

[yes his constantly spying when she's just having a conversation with herself like a normal person.]

You made me feel better about it.

[ yeah???? obviously laudna is normal and cloud is the nosy weird one!! speaking of being weird he seems uncomfortable being told this outright ]

Oh. Well... Good.

Good!

[she seems to miss his obvious discomfort, since she's just insanely awkward herself.]

[ there is now an awkward moment of two people just staring at each other, one very aware they are being awkward and one not

anyway ]

...Find anything else interesting? Besides your box.

[yeah, exactly!]

It's been fun to look around and see all of the interesting little touches...

... Fair enough. They've kept the whole place pretty on theme...

Ooh! And there are very large rat bones strewn about, but no very large rats. That's fun.

[ ... wait that is actually weird ]

The skeletons don't match the ones around?

Nope! They're fully unique!

And you're sure they're still rat skeletons?

They seem very... ratlike, to me. I've seen a lot of skeletons.

[ looks at pâté the flying rat ]

I see that. Can't say I'm too familiar with rat skeletons.

[ or skeletons in general but i refuse to think about how corpses work in ff7 because they always fucking vanish ]

[listen i just assumed it was a r.o.u.s. joke they were in the swamp.]

If you ever need an expert, just call on me.

[ it can be jokes i think it is entirely funnier for cloud to be dramatic about it ]

I'll keep it in mind if I find any bones lying around.

Have you found anything interesting?
