13-In the Library

[Martel is in the library today, reading history books from Aselia. She has a few that still need to be put back, but she can't find the history section again. It's possible the Castle moves things around. It wouldn't really surprise her at all. She puts it down when she gets to a particularly upsetting passage about the Chosen Ones and pulls over her journal. The talk about Chosen Ones reminded her of a promise she made. And someone she has to check on.]

[Zelos]
Are you free on Sunday? We could do your flying lessons then, since I'm also free.

Oh, and you should be careful who you prank.

[Once-Ler]
Are you all right up there in your tower? I haven't heard any of your silly songs over the journal lately. Or do I have to go up there again? [And break down the door and ruin all your traps.]

[With that done, Martel goes back to skimming the history books. Feel free to approach and distract, she could really use it.]

Well, I do struggle to care what the masses thing about most of the time.

I do too. [But probably not in the way the Once-Ler is thinking about.]

You've gotta admit, when they're talking about what they should do for their birthday, or just letting us know they're going for a walk, you wonder what they actually do with their spare time and why they're not doing anything more productive.

[Says the guy who lives forever in his room]

...But you sit in your room all day.

I don't just sit doing nothing. I read the journal, I knit, I pity my sad and empty existence and hate myself for making it so. I have a full and busy schedule.

You know, I somehow doubt that pitying yourself is actually constructive.

Oh, you'd be surprised. It fills in the gaps between knitting and hating myself nicely.

...You shouldn't hate yourself either.

And yet I've gotten so good at it.

There's so many good things about you...

Yeah? Name one.

You're kind to me, even though I broke into your room once. [And continue to threaten to do so.]

I...well, yeah. But you've been kind to me too...besides the kidnapping thing. It's like returning a favour. [She's his friend. He's not really sure he wants to say that though, after all, all his friends LEAVE]

Well, of course I've been kind to you. You're a nice person.

I see what you did there.

[She giggles.] You did walk right into it, Once-Ler.

And you pounced like a jungle animal.

...You could say that.
