[ If you've spoken to Naminé before, you might notice she looks far more at ease now. Being around people who actually like her and mean her no harm has done wonders for her, and there's even a small, content smile there. She's sitting cross-legged on the floor, and in her lap is a Chikorita.

Making sure not to disrupt the sleeping Pokémon, she holds up a (probably familiar) feather. ]

... Is it normal to have things like these floating around? They're beautiful, but... I'm not sure what their use is.

I'll be sending a few other things to your PC in a few days. I won't tell you what they are, but I hope you'll like them.

[ She looks genuinely shocked--kind of like What did I do to deserve such kindness? ]

Oh... Light, that's.... that's very kind of you... Y-you really didn't have to...

I want to.

[She wants to tell the young girl that she was her first friend, the only person she truly considered a friend. Phoenix was a friend, but not like Naminé. This was a girl who needed to be protected, even if Lightning could only do it from a distance.]

[Ilya, of course, just laughs off the implication that protecting Namine isn't worth it.]

Don't be silly. I already have Xion and Kairi under my protection, adding you is just natural. Besides, you've seen what my Pokemon are like. Anyone who'd try to hurt you while I have them under orders to keep you safe is just asking for pain.

[Typhon alone would be a nightmare for any would-be kidnappers.]

You're my friend, Namine. I take care of what's mine.

Yes, Strex provides, enforces, and changes all for the better of course! What a good company for the community! Of course they don't exist here in this...cage, but it is only a matter of time for you see Strex always finds a way.

If one Pokemon had this many feathers, and was still flying, it would have to be gigantic.

[Why are you always throwing giant Pokemon at us, Pokemon world?

....Her expression flickered.]

What is ordinary, here?

_{[Molly smiles and waves back.]_{I'm okay. How are you?}}

Goldenrod?

[And so what looks to be a body double of Namine leans over into the screen.]

Oh, Ilya and I talked about doing some traveling so I can get my badges, and Kairi probably wouldn't mind a change of scenery either, we can definitely bring you over to Goldenrod if you want...Nami.

[A twitch of a smile at her lips and she waves.]

Hello, again! I see you've met one of my sisters now!

[No wonder Nami-chan looked so familiar! She returns the wave.]

Wow! You two really look alike! It's so cute~!

[Nami-chan should have mentioned sisters... hopefully they won't get jealous of Rise trying to get her to be an idol with her.]

[Xion wouldn't know what being an idol is about and Kairi can't sing, but that won't stop them from playfully teasing Namine about it.]

Eheh, thanks, but I'd say Namine's the cutest out of all three of us, so you've scouted the right one.

You think so? I just have a feeling she'll be amazing~! I just need to meet her and see what talents she has!

[She's super excited, Xion! This might help Naminé get more friendly~!]

Must be a pretty lovely bird type, if this is what we're gettin'! There were more than a few gorgeous ones that came 'bout last time- were ya there for it?

[He's kind of looking one over himself, his expression not betraying whether he's particularly interested or not.]

Ahh, they're kind of like feathers, right? Maybe there's a Pokemon out there that they came from.

I don't remember voting Naminé the cutest.

[Sup sisters? Kairi's going to crash on your head.]

What's going on in Goldenrod?

[Are they triplets? They all look the same! But different hair colors...]

Uhmm... well, I want to meet Nami-chan to see what kind of talents she has!

Extremely high charisma, for one. Typhon and Aphrodite both took to her immediately.

[The newest interloper doesn't look like one of the sisters, though with her white hair and red eyes she could probably be taken for Xion's mirror image. She's breaking in to the conversation on her own gear, adding a separate image to the broadcast rather than crowding the current one.]

We can go to Goldenrod, but we won't be staying long. That city will trap you if you aren't careful. As for you, Namine, if it turns out you have singing talent I'll teach you personally. Kairi can vouch that I'm the best person for the job.

Really? Perfect!

[This girl looked like a lady. But when she mentions that she would be the one teaching Naminé, Rise huffs.]

I'm no staying in Goldenrod for long! And if she has any talents, I want to teach her! I'm already an idol, and an idol should be the one to teach a potential idol!

I... thank you. So much.

[ It's said very quietly, a whisper more than anything. Everyone's so kind to her, she almost thinks she doesn't deserve it. ]

[ oh god you two probably don't realize that Very Bad Things™ happened the last time people fought over her

Yeah, she's definitely blushing and flustered--she's stayed quiet throughout the whole exchange, and she's trying to find words for her thoughts. ]

Um, I... wouldn't mind if you both taught me... [ Two is better than one, right? ]

[She would pat your head right now if she could. Instead you get a gentle smile, the smile reserved for Serah, instead. Light heard you, Naminé.]

You don't have to thank me... but you're welcome.

I want to. You've been so kind to me...

[ She trails off. You can almost hear her thinking, When you didn't have to. ]

Mm. They're such pretty feathers, they must be from a beautiful Pokémon.

No--I've been here for only a couple of months.

[Rise doesn't want to back down, but this is three people against her. Nami-chan, you might mean well, but Rise is starting to feel deflated. It wasn't fair! She only wanted to talk to Naminé, not these other three girls! She's starting to look highly irritated and close to tears. All she really wanted was another female friend, and it was blowing up in her face.]

No. It's fine. It's not like we know each other! If she wants to teach you, then whatever. I don't care anymore!

I don't see why I shouldn't be.

[She knows you're not her sister, but she can't help but to slowly feel that way. It's a relief and terrifying at the same time.]

[ Yep, that's blushing. Again. So much blushing. She can't really argue with Ilya, honestly; her Pokémon are pretty ferocious. ]

Ilya... thank you. I'll... I'll do what I can for you.
