[ is she really saving them if shes spending them on painkillers and splints... ]

Could vouchers fix your arm.....? Maybe we could try that.

I was just digging.

[shaft]

I'm saving mine for something, but I'll try it later perhaps.

What were you digging?

[feytality]

What are you saving yours for...?

[ but maya makes a nts to ask about the arm ]

A hole.

[ her hands be sore ] I figure.... maybe we could bury some of their stuff.... I don't know.

[shaft]

That's very considerate of you... do you do that for the dead where you're from?

[feytality]

Not me, specifically.....

[ tilts her head at him, she noticed he didn't answer ]

[shaft]

[ don't worry, he's going to answer: ] And I want to reunite with a friend of mine from home. It'll cost a lot of vouchers, which is why I'm saving.

[feytality]

A friend...?

Do you have a cute pet or something?

[shaft]

Not a pet, she's my steed. I've known her since she was a little hatchling.

She won't be big enough to ride when she arrives here though.

[feytality]

[ despite her deep depression she cannot help the way her eyes light up ]

Hatchling?

[shaft]

Yep.

[ He grins, always happy to chat about his wyvern. ]

She was barely the length of my arm when she first hatched, and could barely walk much less fly. Now she's about three times my size.

[feytality]

You're not... talking about a dragon, are you?

[ she's so excited wtf ]

[shaft]

Something similar. She's a wyvern, so she doesn't grow quite as big, and can't breathe fire.

But I still think she's formidable.

[feytality]

How many vouchers do you need to get her?

[shaft]

Chad said 8, I only have 5 right now.

[feytality]

Oh..... but you'll probably get more by tomorrow.

... I'd give you some of mine, but I have to save up, too.

[shaft]

What're you saying up for?

[feytality]

My spirit channeling. It's the least I can do.

[shaft]

That would be useful... We could just ask the dead who killed them, couldn't?

[ Claude has never played Ace Attorney and doesn't realize that it is never that simple. ]

[feytality]

[ claude play ace attorney ]

I don't know about that, but at least..... they could come back, even if for a little.

[shaft]

Come back? I thought it would just be... you speaking with the dead?

[feytality]

I'd be channeling them.... so, basically, they'd be using my body. Temporarily, of course.

[shaft]

That's... quite a sacrifice.

[feytality]

[ she shifts a little bit, uncomfortable ]

Sacrifice? I don't know about that....

[shaft]

To let someone control your body? I would say so—I can hardly stand being forced to the dorms on Thursday.

[feytality]

[ hmmm yeah she's looking away evasively now ]

W-Well... it's not really control.... it's just like, borrowing? A well-trained spirit medium is still in control.

[ are they! ]

And there are safety measures in place! Just in case....
