So, you’re the lot that wants to find a way outta here. Funny, it looks to me like you don’t.

Yep. Settling into those bogus homes of yours, I’d say you’d just about given up. And here I thought you’d have a little more fight in you, all things considered. Guess you don’t care as much about your friends as they thought. I mean, just look how long they’ve been waiting for you to come home. After this long, can’t say I’d wanna wait for you either.

But, hey, that works for me. With you all here, that just means one less thing in our way. All according to plan; I should have known he’d be right about you.

Obviously they didn't; all they're worried about is themselves.

Now that I think of it, that could be why they saved you in the first place.

[her reply is startled and only comes after a long pause; the thought had never crossed her mind]

... What?

[world_of_elegance]

Hey. Mind stopping with the lies? It's old hat.

[graviga]

Just calling it as I see it. If you're so worried about it, maybe you outta quit keeping her in the dark.

[world_of_elegance]

I'm not worried. Yorda's greatest strength is her faith in her friends. Something I don't expect a shadowy, anonymous tool like you could understand.

[graviga]

So that's what you think. We'll see where that leads you.

[world_of_elegance]

Better hope it doesn't lead me straight to you.

[graviga]

I'm counting on it.

[nonomoribird]

Urd...

[world_of_elegance]

Don't listen to them, Yorda. Remember how hard Mao and the Master and I searched for you? All the good times you've had with people here? Trust in those feelings.

[nonomoribird]

I do. But... why have you not told me these things? Is there not a way I can stop from going back to the island? It is gone now. I have nowhere else.

[world_of_elegance]

There will be a way, even if I have to force it. I'll bring you home with me if I have to!

[nonomoribird]

I do not wish to bring further trouble to anyone.

[world_of_elegance]

How could it be trouble to see you happy and safe?

[nonomoribird]

But I was captured. Everyone had to look for me.

And what will happen to Mao when this is over? And the Master? I do not wish to leave them.

[world_of_elegance]

If I were in trouble and you had to help me, would you consider me trouble? A burden?

[nonomoribird]

I would never feel that way.

[world_of_elegance]

Then why would anyone feel that way about you? Listen to me. I will find a way, somehow, to make sure we won't have to say goodbye. Believe in me, okay? Not what some mysterious jerk on this thing tells you.

[nonomoribird]

Sometimes you are troubled by all of my questions. I still do not know very much about the world outside of the island.

I will. I believe in all of you.
