Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. [That's...what he's supposed to say here, right? Not that he has anyone to tell anyway.] You can trust me.

I know I can, Mithos! [She gives him another bright smile, absolutely open and showing how much she really does trust him even this young.]

Because we're friends, right? And I trust my friend!

...Right.

[She seems so carefree at this age. He wonders if he was ever like this; he can't remember. But for how much longer will those bright smiles last? She'll eventually see the world in all of its ugliness, get hurt, grow bitterness inside like ivy. It makes happiness seem so hollow, knowing what will come.]

Do you want to get closer to the river?

Closer...? [She looks over toward the moving body of water, appearing to be as deep in thought as a child her age can be.]

Mommy says I can't swim!

Oh... [Then he remembers when they had fought in the jungle, for the draft, when it had flooded, and she had -- ...this is likely connected, isn't it?] I'm sorry, I shouldn't have- [shouldn't have what? failed to realize something about someone he's supposedly only met today?]

We can just stay by the trees.

[Kaori stares at him curiously, head tilting just slightly to the side. What was he going to say?]

I guess the trees are okay...? [But water looked like so much fun.]

You really liked them just a moment ago. [He isn't annoyed, just...why so contradictory?

Bah. He's taking a seat, and motioning for her to follow suit. He has the strong premonition that he shouldn't let her get too close to the water.]

But water looks like a lot of fun! [But she plops down beside him anyway, inspecting the grass nearby.]

And I still really like the trees, too!

Good. [He doesn't want her to be upset or anything. But.......

.........

...What is one supposed to do with small children?]

[Luckily for Mithos, Kaori is entertaining herself enough seeking out the clover peeking out of the grass. It was giving her an idea!]

Say, Mithos? What's your favorite flower?

Huh? Oh...I don't know. I haven't thought about it.

Why not? [Staring at him wide-eyed, WHAT IS THIS ATROCITY WHY DOESN'T HE HAVE A FAVORITE FLOWER?]

I just haven't...

[...he sees that stare. .....This is apparently a big deal to her. He quickly thinks of something, whatever comes to mind first:] Fandalia flowers.

Fandalia flowers...? [Her expression turns into wonder, trying to imagine what kind of flower it could be.]

I've never seen one of those!

They're from my world. The petals are white and its nectar has healing properties.

Really? That sounds neat! [Thinking about it makes her want to see one for herself.]

Really. The fandalias once saved my sister when she was very sick.

[Now her eyes really widen, prompting her to scoot closer to Mithos in that way all small children do when they are excited about something.] Then it must be very special, na?

Mm-hmm... [...and now he's thinking about Martel again. More than he already was.]

... Can you show me? [Though she notes how he suddenly seems distracted, more than he has been anyway.]

Oh, I...haven't seen any in Luceti. [not like he frequents the flower shop either]

O-oh... [Cue a sad face, what are you going to do about it, Mithos?]

[....d-don't make that face.] ......But...that doesn't mean they aren't here. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

[... Mithos what have you done.]

Oh! Then we have to go looking for them, we can do it together, right?!

[...He has no idea.] Sure, we... [--wait a minute] Do you mean right now?
