[Hmm!]

Well, you're in the Philippines... if you had not become a hunter, I am pretty confident that you would have been able to continue living a normal life, and feel about as safe as you could possibly feel. We would have never met, though, if you had done that.

[And it goes without saying that Brianna might not have ever met the people she knows now.]

[therealbrianna]

[ True, true. ]

Seems like I made the right decision then, as fate would have it?

[redemancy]

I guess it was. Of course, "right" and "wrong" are a matter of personal taste more than it is anything else. Still, if you're happy with where you are now...

[Then everything should be good, right?]

[therealbrianna]

Oh, I am. I really, really am. [ Flashing a genuine smile her way. ]

[redemancy]

Then that's that, I guess. No need to think too far on the matter.

[It'd just get you in trouble, at this rate.]

Want to talk about anything else?

[therealbrianna]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Not really. [ However, she does reach out and plucks a single flower from a nearby bush, handing it to Aria with a smile. ]

What about you?

[redemancy]

I'm good for the moment. There is one last thing, though...

[She's tucking the flower you just gave her (hee) behind her ear, and then lifting her hand towards the empty air. A paper falls into it, which she promptly hands over.

Have a dream rendition of something Michael drew: you and him, walking through a sunlit forest. It's an excellent drawing, not something that looks like it was drawn by a child at all. It also has a note: "I hope everything is okay down there. See you soon? P.S. I have a cell phone now. Here's my number."]

I can hand the real drawing over to you when you get back to Falner.

[Now she's going to watch your reaction. ♥]

[therealbrianna]

[ At first, Brianna is surprised. She's going through the details, the two figures that represents her and Michael, the scenery. She smiles and squeals a bit. ]

Oh my goooosh, this is the cutest thing ever!! He made this? When? It's so... wow!

[ Brianna's face right now looks like the face of a kid who just got the best gift ever. ]

[redemancy]

[And watching Brianna pleases Aria, of course.]

He really missed you, from the looks of it. He also got really worried when news of your engagement in South Africa came around.

[Understandably so. It had been bad down there, or so she had heard.]
