[And just as the awkward silence began to shatter, the door opens and a cheerful-looking green haired girl hops in, carrying a plate of food, It's just porridge, but Jaffar IS in the clinic, after all. With a wide smile, she puts the bowl down on the night stand before noticing the pink-haired girl, flying outside.]

I got you food, Jaffar! It may look plain, but it's actually really good! The nice lady let me try it, an-

...

Oh, hi there! Is that a friend, Jaffar? Oh, maybe it's the other way around! [She giggles brightly, and comes up to the both of them. ...Arche, really, mostly.] Hello! My name is Nino, and thank you for coming to visit Jaffar! He got hurt when he first came here, so he's still recovering, so he can be a bit grumpy now! He's not always like this, though! He's really, really nice, and a reaaally good fighter, too! I hope that we can be good friends, and I really appreciate you coming! Are you flying, too? That's so amazing! Only Pegasi and Wyverns could allow people to fly, in Elibe! I have heard of stories with witches and brooms, but I've never seen anything like that!

[She was just about to leave the grumpy guy alone when the most cheerful little girl ever came in. She can't help but grin at Nino.]

Hi Nino, I'm Arche! Yeah I was just out flying around the clinic and I saw Mister Grumpy there (Jaffar, eh?) watching me out the window. I came in to have a talk but I guess he's not the talkative type, eh? I don't think there'll be a problem with being friends, you seem like a really nice girl! Do you like the broom? It's the best way to fly ever, if you ask me.

[Ye gods, somebody stop them.]

[...Jaffar listens to this in silence, but all the same when Nino comes in he will silently take something off that tray of food - a muffin of some type - and after taking out a medical knife to cut it into small pieces on the plat he'll start to eat the smaller pieces. Logically, this means that if there is poison it'll never go into his system with a high enough concentration that he won't feel it before it gets to a lethal level.

Not that he would ever assume Nino would poison him, this was merely a habit with baked goods]

[Don't ask why the most cheerful little girl evar is bff with grumpyfae over there, and we'd be ttly good. :|b]

It's nice to meet you, miss Arche!~ Ahaha, yeah, he doesn't talk alot, but it's okay, because he really means well! I think uncle Legault said something about 'morse code' and laughed about it after, but he wouldn't tell me what it meant! [huff] I looked it up after, of course, and apparently it's a language with dots and lines, but I still don't get why it would have been funny... [she crosses her arms, and pouts for a few seconds.]

But yeah! Oh, I'm so glad! Um, I did the cleaning in the Black Fang base a lot, so I'm good at passing the broom... but I never imagined that you could REALLY fly with it! Florina, a really good friend of mine, is a Pegasus Knight! She can fly on her Pegasus, and I'm envious, sometimes! It must be reaaaaally nice, to be able to see everything from so high up! I wish that I could do it too, someday! [She's just being wistful here, though - despite saying that, she seems to be fully aware of the fact that it's not that likely to happen, but it's a nice dream to have, and she doesn't mind just imagining it, either.

She doesn't mind Jaffar's eating methods at all - he's eating, so she's happy. She does turn to him for a bit too, though.] Is it good, Jaffar? You should try to eat it all, so you can get more energy and stuff!

It's great to meet you too Nino! Well, if you say so... oh, I think I get the joke, though. Your uncle must have meant that if he knew morse code Jaffar could tell people things without having to talk. You know, since he clearly hates to open up his mouth and all.

Well you've gotta be pretty good at magic to enchant the broom to fly, and mine won't work for anybody but me, but yeah, you can totally do it if you know how! But you've got a friend who rides a Pegasus? Seriously? Man I only saw one of those things once, and that was awesome. It let a friend of mine ride on it's back so we could take out a whole bunch of flying monsters and a wyvern!

[Jaffar nods at Nino's request there. He's going to keep on eating just like that, looking between the two... but after a time - actually when Arche mentions enchanting brooms, he's going to put a protective arm on Nino. This means that Arche must on par with at least the Blue Crow in terms of prowess. He looks at her wearily after that.

Still, at the mention of flying monsters his eyes seem to widen just a little. Monsters?]

[Blink.] Really? That might be a good idea, but I don't think it's necessary! We understand each other just fine, right Jaffar? [And she'll cheerfully beam at him before turning back to Arche. She doesn't mind the arm at all, and snuggles a bit into it too, actually.]

Is that how magic would work in your world? I'm a mage, too! I can use my Fire and Thunder tomes just fine, but Erk says that I'm supposed to understand what the chant means for it to work, but I can do it without understanding, so he says that I must be good! I'm not sure myself, but I believe him, if he says so! And uh-huh! Huey is really nice, and he lets me pet him! Florina says her two sisters are Pegasus Knights, too!

[Monsters? Oh ff not scared the least. This just gets her even more excited.] Monsters? Oh WOW, really? It all sounds like a really good story! Was that a wild wyvern, then? I've never seen a Wyvern on its own! There are Wyvern riders in Lord Eliwood's army, too!

Well I don't think that matters to the joke... It probably wasn't a very good one anyway. [She shrugs, but can't help but grin at how oddly cute that is.]

Well that's... part of how it works, at least. I've got chants, but I don't have to use tomes to get my spells off, just have to focus and use my mana. That's, um, a special energy we've all got where I come from. But either way if you can use the spells without even understanding the chant's that's pretty impressive! As is riding a Pegasus, your friend must be pretty amazing!

Yeah, it is, I guess. Kind of a long one though. Um... all Wyverns are wild where I come from. No one's ever tried to tame one. They breathe fire and are the size of a house, it'd be suicide.

[...As a house? Fire? That sounds more like the mythical tales of dragons, somewhat smaller from what he recalls. Wyverns are more akin to the size of horses, sometimes a little bigger. His grip on Nino gets a little tighter there. Dragons makes him think of Nergal, which makes him think of what danger Nino could be in in theory.

...Still, he looks at her lightly as he takes his next bite. As if to show pride in her abilities as well as to question if she met any of the riders. He doesn't approve of Vaida at all, for one]

Jokes are supposed to be funny, right? Jaffar doesn't really laugh... So if uncle Legault told Jaffar a joke, it wouldn't do anything anyway! [Still doesn't get it here, but she's willing to let go of that too. :|b]

Really? You don't? That must be so much more easy! We have to use books, and they wear off and break after you use them too much, too! I hid my first Fire tome from M-Sonia... I wonder if it's still there... They become more heavy the more powerful the spellbook, though... It's why I still like Fire better to Elfire!

Oh, so you can make magic yourself without the help of the spirits? That's amazing! A...aha, thank you! [She clearly grows more abashed at the compliment, but perks back up again as the subject turns to wyverns and pegasi again.]

A... a house? That's HUGE! I don't think I ever saw a wyvern breathing fire before... Hm? It's okay though, Jaffar! [She turns around at this increase in pression.] Uncle Legault said that mister Heath wasn't a bad person, and besides, I don't think that we'll ever see wyverns like this in Elibe, more like dragons! If Lord Eliwood's army wins, then the dragons can go back to sleep peacefully again, right?

Probably not, no.

Oh man, I can't imagine having to deal with that. I mean, stronger spells take more mana, so they'll tire you out quicker, but carrying around a bunch of books just to cast my spells? I'd go nuts!

Weeeeeell kinda-sorta. I mean the spirits of my world don't do much directly, but they're the source of pretty much everything, so that includes magic too.

Oh yeah, real huge. Could probably fit ten people on one's back. Guess your wyverns are way different than ours. I mean, ours are basically just another type of dragon.

[...Back to sleep peacefully? He'd rather they were destroyed, personally, but he supposes that would be impossible. So long as Nergal dies, it will work. He waits for Arche to finish though... and then before Nino can develop a reply Jaffar needs to put in here:]

...Lord Eliwood ... must win. ["For your future."]

[She was indeed going to ramble moar to Arche, but stops at Jaffa's words.]

Mark would know these things better... But everyone's doing their best, right? I'm... not very good myself, but Lord Eliwood's army took out ...Sonia, and could fight us all of the Black Fang... So the chances must be good! We'll win! [Cheerful smile directed at you, Jaffar. P.S.: She doesn't rly know what she's talking about. 8|; She knows this is what they have to do, but she can't be called too 'passionate' about the whole thing, :D;

Back to Arche!]

Your way is a lot more convenient! [A little pout here. She's jealous, but not totally conscious of it. :x] We don't have a lot of variety, too. I talk to the spirits a lot, and I think there are some wind tomes out there, but they must be heavy and you must be really experienced to use them! I probably can't... I'm happy with Fire and Thunder, but I really would like to see and use more kinds of anima!

Hm? Of course! The elemental spirits make up the elements and are totally rooted together with nature, so saying that they're the source of everything shouldn't be wrong! But yeah... They can be channeled with tomes and spells, but otherwise I think that's it. They're fun to talk to, though!

[oAo.] They have to be! A wyvern in your world sounds like a dragon in mine... Are there a lot of them? That would be really scary!...
