" Ah! Prima! I haven't seen you at all since we landed, where have you been?"

Lina.

" Ah, well... I sort of got caught up in something," he responded with a smile.

" It's really lonely without you! We've been too nervous to go down into town like you and Lyena," she said, walking beside him in the hallway.

" Mm, I get some not-so-friendly looks sometimes."

" So why do you spend so much time there?" A pause. " Did you meet a pretty girl?"

He promptly puffed up and blushed bright red.

" Why would you think that?" he asked.

" I know your weakness, Prima! You can never say no to a girl," she teased.

" Aaaaah, you're completely right," he said, burying his face in his hands. " I really can't say no to a pretty girl... And Kou is really pretty... Oh, Lina, she's like. Ah. I think I really like her. Like you know?"

" I think I know? I can't help but be a little jealous, though!" she said with good cheer.

" Ohhh, don't say that! I think you and Kou would get along."

" It'd be nice to meet her, then!"
