[The reference point is lost on him, but he'll accept it anyway.]

Do you want to spar sometime?

[selphie_t]

[She'll explain all about Garden if he asks. She's just glad that nobody was sent to her world for a day.]

A spar? Hm... I think I can handle that.

[i_speak_softly]

[This is ninja-speak for "We're best friends now". Don is satisfied.]

So. You've seen my life. Do I get to hear about yours?

[selphie_t]

[Selphie might pick up on that ninja jargon later on but for now, she ponders that question.]

Whatcha wanna know?

[i_speak_softly]

[He shrugs. He wants to listen, not to pry.]

Where are you from? Who are your friends? How did you get into martial arts?

[selphie_t]

[There's just some things she doesn't like to share with a lot of people.]

My world doesn't really have a name. I should probably give it a name sometime. My friends are the Orphanage Gang. There's Squall, Quisty, Irvy and Zell and they're the best friends a gal could ask for. I was pretty young when I got into the martial arts and I don't really remember why. I probably thought they were cool.

[i_speak_softly]

[... Orphanage?]

You don't have parents?

[selphie_t]

[Selphie shakes her head.]

They died when I was a kid.

[i_speak_softly]

Adoptive parents?

[selphie_t]

Nope. I was in Garden by the time I was ten.

[i_speak_softly]

I'm sorry...

But your friends. Are they like family to you?

[selphie_t]

Don't worry about it.

They're definitely family to me. The only one I've got, really.

[i_speak_softly]

[So. They have some things in common, even in their real lives.]

Your housemates...?

[These same friends, or people you met in Luceti?]

[selphie_t]

[Don, you'd be surprised.]

I met them all here. They're like family too.

[i_speak_softly]

None of your family-from-home is here, then?

[selphie_t]

They've been here twice already. I don't really want them to be brought back here.

[It's too hard to say goodbye all the time.]

[i_speak_softly]

[He nods.] I know how that feels.

[selphie_t]

Two years of goodbyes really sucks.

[i_speak_softly]

[A more emphatic nod.]

Did -- Were you expecting to go to your own world? For the experiment?

[selphie_t]

I wasn't sure what was gonna happen.

[i_speak_softly]

You were smarter than the rest of us.
