hey, did you guys notice the huge fruit tree that showed up near the new ocean? it's got big giant yellow star-shaped fruits growing from it that are called paopu fruit. they taste like a pineapple mixed with a pear. sounds pretty tasty, right?

there's also a legend back home about these fruits. i thought you might wanna know.

"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what."

i've always liked that legend a lot. i don't know if it's true for sure but it's nice to think that if you share one with someone really special to you that you can always be a part of each other's lives. if that doesn't sound like love, i don't know what is. it might be nice to try it with someone sometime, huh? go for it!

I am not a particularly sentimental person, so my answer is not an informed one, really. For your sake, however, I hope you get to see them sooner rather than later. I suspect if they are your friends, they are likely thinking of you with the same determination.

[She would almost call it a passion, but that word might not necessarily suit the situation.]

As for mermaids, I think I am more frightening than anything one will find in the ocean.

[oathkeeper]

haha, yeah i hope so. it's been a while but i know they're thinking of me too wherever they are.

but you don't have to call yourself frightening! i don't think you're scary at all beatrix!

[roseofmay]

I have never considered being ‘frightening’ to be a terrible thing. I rather like it when people fear me. It can be easier to protect others when one has that reputation. You simply do not think me so because I look after you as well.

[In short, he benefits from her demeanour. Back home, no one would dare tangle with him out of fear of dealing with her, after all.]

[oathkeeper]

i guess you do kind of have a point. your friends know you're not frightening but monsters or bad guys should. that always helps.

i know i'm just really happy to know you. you're really awesome.

[roseofmay]

[Friends. He probably has a point. To anyone who isn't close to her, Beatrix probably seems a cold and unfeeling individual.]

What a thing to say. I have been called many things, but I do not think 'awesome' is one of them. I suppose I must be thankful that I have struck such a fond chord with you.

[oathkeeper]

[He would probably still think she's pretty cool from a distance Cool, not cold.]

ahahha i mean it's true! you've been really nice to me and you've taught me a lot too. you're great, beatrix. you shouldn't be surprised someone says things like that about you too!

[roseofmay]

I have rather thought I was bit terse with you. Sometimes I think I forget that my youth was a great deal different from that of others. I have not always been considerate or as sensitive as I likely ought to be. In saying that, I am not insisting I will be changing. Only that I can acknowledge it.

I think you to be a rather miraculous personality as well.

[oathkeeper]

i grew up with some friends that were pretty had on me because they love me so i think i can tell when someone means well. or at least i hope i can.

[Plus now that he's older he isn't as naive about people scolding him for real things anymore. He does his best to listen.]

heh. thanks, beatrix. this world has let me meet a lot of different people and i'm glad you're one of them.

[roseofmay]

I suppose I do feel quite the same way about you and the others I have met here in this world. You all play your role in my life. And others, naturally. I am glad to have met you, Sora.

[oathkeeper]

[Wow that's a big compliment from her!! He's totally not blushing.]

heh, same here! if you ever need anything just ask, okay? if it's more questions about weird fate fruit or anything else! i'm here!

[roseofmay]

Likewise. If I have any questions about odd fruit, I will certainly be visiting you on it first.
