[His eyes narrow.]

No.

[bisouled]

That's terrible... I mean, someone really got you.

[ he's kind of an ass, but he doesn't deserve that! ]

It looks like it hurts. [ ... ] ... After what they found earlier, I'm glad a scratch is all you got.

[soulus]

[He continues to narrow his eyes. She's rubbing salt into the jagged wound.]

Not to worry. It'll take more than this to kill me.

[bisouled]

[ she's just concerned pls ]

Just because it didn't kill you doesn't mean it's okay. Have you cleaned it and all?

[soulus]

Of course. I've managed worse injuries than this before.

[bisouled]

Good. We don't need anyone getting sick while there's no ether around.

[ a beat. ]

Can I ask you something else about it? It's okay if you don't want to talk about it more, too. I understand.

[soulus]

That depends on the question.

[bisouled]

Were you sleeping outside? Not in the inn?

[soulus]

I slept at the station.

[bisouled]

You were there...? And the glass shattering didn't wake you up...

[ frowns. ]

I think something was done to us last night so we wouldn't remember. Either that, or our memories are already slipping.

[soulus]

[Wouldn't that be grand?]

Where were you?

[bisouled]

[ she is really hoping she's wrong. ]

I was in my room. Nothing happened to me... at least, as far as I can tell. Everything's reading normal.

[soulus]

Then it's unlikely that last night's involved parties were there.

[bisouled]

Maybe they don't have to be there to make us forget.

[ she doesn't want to admit it, but their 6 "leaders" are very suspect at the moment. ]

[soulus]

Whom are you suspecting?

[bisouled]

... There's no way around the fact that those 6 in the masks are the most suspicious. They've been nice to us and all, so I didn't want to say it, but... they know a lot more than we do, and they can do things that we can't do, too. And we don't really know what they're up to.

[soulus]

If all goes as planned, we should be hearing about part of it tomorrow. The nature of the competition may even be changed then.

[bisouled]

... You're so calm about all of this. The competition, the murderer, your face...

[ Fiora sighs, shaking her head. ]

I wish I could be more like that. [ a pause. ] Aren't you worried that they'll think you're suspicious?

[soulus]

Do you suspect me?

[bisouled]

[ she shakes her head. ]

I don't. You're rude once in a while, but you don't seem like a bad guy.

[soulus]

That's a bold claim to make about someone you've just met.

[bisouled]

Well, I'm a bold kind of girl! It wasn't you, right?

[soulus]

What will you do if it was?

[bisouled]

... I'd ask you why, for starters.

[soulus]

. . . You'll have to wait until tomorrow.
