Amelia? I think only you should see this. If I understand the console correctly...

I wanted to check in with you, mostly because I had a bodyguard job offer from one of the other people brought here, and I wanted to know if you were interested as well.

[kind of an uncomfortable look]

Also, I haven't exactly mentioned to her that I'm not human, so having some backup would be nice if she starts panicking.

[The first one takes her just a second . . . because in spite of her own royalty, Amelia has never really relied on armed guards.]

Well . . . I guess if I were in a strange place and didn't have the people around I was used to, I would be too.

And the other . . . no, it isn't! Because that's like not giving people a chance in the first place! Not everyone is close-minded.

Besides, maybe if Zelgadis-san went out like he didn't care, other people wouldn't care either.

[gathersnomoss]

Somehow I doubt it, given my experience.

[willofjustice]

Well, have you ever gone out like you didn't care?

[gathersnomoss]

...

When I was first transformed, I didn't think about it as much.

[That makes for a twist of empathy in Amelia's gut. She knows it's hard for him.]

It could be different here. Better.

[gathersnomoss]

It could, but I've been burned before. I'll see how it goes.

[willofjustice]

I'll still come with you.

[gathersnomoss]

Thank you, Amelia.
