[Martel isn't quite sure what to say to him, but she needs to make sure he's all right, even if it does seem if he's ignoring her. She is worried about him. She knows he's still here, he just hasn't been around, and there's a lot of things she needs to tell him.]

...Are you all right? You haven't been around lately at all. You never answered my message earlier this month, either.


[Martel is sitting in the courtyard in a green winter coat she had the Castle magic up for her so she could be outside. Feel free to approach her, though she might be distracted.]

[She pets her gently, smiling.] What's her name?

[cantacquityou]

I call her, 'Veritas,' Latin for 'truth.' Or 'Vera,' for short.

To be quite honest, I am still trying to figure out what she is, exactly...

[heal_theworld]

I'm not sure, either. I haven't seen anything like her before. ...Have you asked around? Usually the residents who have been here longer know about these things.

[cantacquityou]

I've tried. So far I've nothing. But she does seem to be able to pick on on the emotions of others very well. She also possesses a keen understanding of our language.

[heal_theworld]

Hm. I can tell you for certain that I've never seen anything like her on my world. Perhaps she's from another world? There are so many out there, it seems.

[cantacquityou]

Perhaps.

Either that, or she's a hybrid between a tiger and a dog. [Yes. He's joking. In the most deadpannish way possible. She yips playfully.]

[heal_theworld]

...What's a tiger? [They don't have those on here world, Edgeworth. They have dogs, though, so she can see the resemblance.]

[cantacquityou]

You've never seen a tiger?

[heal_theworld]

We don't have tigers on Aselia, I don't believe. If we do, we call them something different.

[cantacquityou]

Aselia? Is that where you're from?

[heal_theworld]

Yes. That is the name of my planet. More specifically, I'm from the village of the elves, Heimdall, which is found deep in Ymir Forest, located in the country of Tethe'alla. It's south of the capital.

[cantacquityou]

Somehow, I feel an odd bit of incompetence for never having heard of any of those words, before...

[heal_theworld]

Well, you're from Earth. However, I have heard that my last name is a world tree in the Earth Norse Mythology.

[cantacquityou]

That is true. Shortly after I met you, I researched your surname a bit out of sheer curiosity.

...It is truly amazing how far and yet so intimately interconnected our worlds are.

[heal_theworld]

I've been starting to notice that.

The strange thing is... Aselia has a world tree, too. Only it's not called Yggdrasill.
