[Hello Purvis]

> "Then why are you looking at me like that?"

>"Like what?" she says, having ceased to do so the moment she answered you.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I asked you about the Lunarians in the Bamboo Forest, and you stared at me as if I had grown a second head."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I asked you about the Lunarians in the Bamboo Forest, and you stared at me as if I had grown a second head."

>"Huh?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown.
> Speak a little bit slower.

[Kilgamayan]

> "You are doing it again."

[Hello Purvis]

> "You are doing it again."

>"Huh?" she says, snapping out of it.

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown.
> "...You are not aware that you keep zoning out, are you?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown.
> "...You are not aware that you keep zoning out, are you?"

>"What are you talking about?" she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "You completely zone out whenever I mention certain things, and once I move away from those subjects, you snap back to reality, without any memory of what I've said."

[Hello Purvis]

> "You completely zone out whenever I mention certain things, and once I move away from those subjects, you snap back to reality, without any memory of what I've said."

>"Are you sure?" she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Quite sure, yes. If you do not believe me, though, then we can test you when we get to the Human Village."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Quite sure, yes. If you do not believe me, though, then we can test you when we get to the Human Village."

>"That seems rather rude, don't you think?" says Kotohime, frowning.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sorry. I just want to help whatever it is that's doing that to you."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Sorry. I just want to help whatever it is that's doing that to you."

>"I think you're just seeing things," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown.
> "Very well. If I cannot convince you, then I will leave it be for the time being. But if someone else notices what I notice, then I think we should revisit this."

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown.
> "Very well. If I cannot convince you, then I will leave it be for the time being. But if someone else notices what I notice, then I think we should revisit this."

>She nods. frowning slightly.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Setting that aside, to answer your original question, we are traveling back to the Human Village, in order to ask around and see if anyone has seen Seiga lately."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Setting that aside, to answer your original question, we are traveling back to the Human Village, in order to ask around and see if anyone has seen Seiga lately."

>"Ah," says Kotohime. "There's a lot of ground to cover, so you're lucky you have me to help investigate."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "I was hoping for your help to make the process go quicker, yes."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "I was hoping for your help to make the process go quicker, yes."

>"How do you want to break this up?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "It might be best to just divide the village in half, and then meet at the pub when we're done."

[Hello Purvis]

> "It might be best to just divide the village in half, and then meet at the pub when we're done."

>"Got it," says Kotohime.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What would be a reasonable way to divide the Human Village in half for investigative purposes?

[Hello Purvis]

> What would be a reasonable way to divide the Human Village in half for investigative purposes?

>You aren't really sure. Some places are more densely populated than others. It would probably be best for someone to take on housing rows on their own, and maybe the marketplace?

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What would that leave for the other person?

[Hello Purvis]

> What would that leave for the other person?

>Just about everything else. The temple, the shops away from the market, the less densely populated parts of town.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I think it would be best if one of us investigated the marketplace and the housing rows, while the other checked the other areas of town."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I think it would be best if one of us investigated the marketplace and the housing rows, while the other checked the other areas of town."

>She nods. "I can do that. We meet back up at the pub, right?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yes."
