Subject: Paopu Fruit

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 have not seen this tree yet. Perhaps I shall have to take a trip out.

It is from your world?

[oathkeeper]

yep! it's from destiny islands! if you get a chance to see it you really should! if anything it's a really cool tree to climb!

[iracorn]

I might be a bit beyond climbing trees, but I'll still take a look.

Did it just appear here?

[oathkeeper]

aww, why can't you climb trees, ira? you're not that old you know

and yeah, it just showed up not long after the ocean did. for a second i thought i made the ocean but i guess that wasn't me. but who else would have dreamed up a whole paopu tree?

[iracorn]

Fair point. Maybe I'll try.

But I certainly can't take the credit for the tree.

[oathkeeper]

haha yeah. i think it was me. that's why i really wanted to share the story too.

[iracorn]

I am glad that you did. It must be very important to you.

[oathkeeper]

yeah, it is. it's almost like having a little piece of home here too and that feels pretty good.

[iracorn]

Then I am very glad for you.

Have you ever invoked the legend? Or is it just something you've heard?

[oathkeeper]

invoked? you mean have i tried it? yeah! twice! once with my best friend and once with my boyfriend.

[iracorn]

I suppose this may be personal to ask, but, do you think it worked?

[oathkeeper]

i think it did? or at least i'm really hoping it does. when i tried it with kairi it felt like i could take on the whole universe because she was right there with me. with vanitas it's like a promise to make sure we always find each other.

that's enough, isn't it?

[iracorn]

I would think so. You're lucky to have such cherished connections.

[oathkeeper]

yeah, i think so too.

so, find someone to try the fruit with someday, ira! okay? you deserve it too!

[iracorn]

Thank you, for saying so.

I'm sure there's someone out there.

[Though, how would he even propose that. Thoughts for another time.]

[oathkeeper]

there definitely is! for someone as cool and nice as you? i don't doubt it for a second!

[iracorn]

[dammit kid stop giving him these feelings.]

Well, perhaps I shall give it greater thought. And work up the courage.

[oathkeeper]

[Can't stop, won't stop!]

yeah! you can do it! i'm cheering you on, ira!!

[iracorn]

Well, it's appreciated, Sora./font>

[Perhaps the next time he sees his friends, he'll mention the legend.]
