it's sad

[sageprincess]

There must be records of some sort down there, correct? Perhaps you could find paperwork on them or something.

[animusnpcs]

maybe

i'll have riki look

[sageprincess]

You should look as well, I suggest. You would have a better idea than he on what to look for.

[If... you really are hundreds of years older than the rest of them.]

[animusnpcs]

but riki is good at finding things

[sageprincess]

But you might jog your memory as you look. And in my experience, working with someone on a project usually expedites the process.

[animusnpcs]

i don't want to remember the wrong things

[sageprincess]

... Ah, but it is as I said before, right? Memories are just that - images you have kept over the years. They cannot hurt you any more than you allow them to.

[At least, that's what she's begun to tell herself, here.]

[animusnpcs]

they can hurt

so i forget them

[sageprincess]

[A slight frown.]

What exactly do you mean by hurt, if I may ask?

It is... saddening, to think of some of the things that have happened both here and in my homeland, but they cannot impede me any more than I let them.

[animusnpcs]

it means what i said that's all

[sageprincess]

Forgive me for being persistent; I merely wish to understand.

Is the hurt a physical sort of pain, or...?
