[See Hawke. See Hawke looking amused. See Hawke being incredibly bewildered behind that amusement]

If this is round two, I have to say there are a lot less...explosions than I would have expected. [a pause, as she looks around]

I remember the Fade being much less helpful last time I was there...

[Locked to previous CR]

Hey... I'm gonna have a sleepover at my treehouse in a few days. Anyone interested?

[For everyone]

...What's the difference between love and friendship?

I have a crush on every girl.

[Aerith doesn't seem to be aware that the vine has decided to watch her as she stands outside in the shade of a tree and of course, also accompanied by a few flowers blowing in the wind. She looks pensive and seems to be... trying to talk to someone, despite her being the only one around.]

You're not very talkative, are you? [her voice is soft, but there's a strained smile on her face] And here I thought you'd be the most honest around here. Hmm... maybe you don't like me? I promise I won't hurt you. You can ask...

[Now she seems to have noticed the vine, and she huffs at it -- a little annoyed, but not seriously angry. But she quickly abandons whatever it was she was doing and transitions into a purposely public sort of post.]

Oh, it looks like the Queen really doesn't know how to be nice, does she?

[So, here's Sol, fresh out of the Labyrinth. Physically, she looks perfectly fine. Her expression, on the other hand, is a mixture of distress and rage, and her hands at her sides are balled into fists and trembling. Clearly, she ran into something there that has left her more than a little shaken.]

[She doesn't seem to be aware that the Vine is broadcasting. For a long time, she doesn't speak or move at all but for the shaking of her hands. Then, abruptly, she hauls back and punches the nearest tree.]

Goddammit.
