007 ♰ video/action for Azalea Town

[fathersbeloved]

Good night!

[Beatrice's sitting on a log, with her faithful (and shy) Houndoom beside her. She looks cheerful, if a bit pale.]

I could finally get up from bed, after some days. I caught a cold when I fell in the water in Union Cave, but I'm fine now. Azalea is such a nice place! I love the smell of the forest... it's very different from the one in the world I come from.

[Pauses, thoughtful. This was not what she wanted to talk about tonight.]

Ah, I needed your advice! What would be the things you'd do when exploring alone? I've helped Lion write down the lists for supplies and other things, but I admit I'm not so sure on how to take care of those things.

I'll write it all down, it will be like an explorer's guide!



[Shows her small notebook and a pen, a bright smile on her face before the feed cuts.]

[Subdued voice, down...]

I... I see, I see. I just wish they... they would let me do more things for them. More and more I'm feeling like I'm trapped in dresses and tea parties once again.

... If you wish to escape a cage, you must do so yourself. With that docile nature of yours... You have yet to tell them that much. Is that not so?

(sorry i'm laaateeee ;___;)

[fathersbeloved]

...I have not told them. I...

[She's trying not to cry, now.]

I can't. They have been nothing but kind to me.

it's perfectly fine o7

... Hm. As I expected. As of right now, the only one holding you back is yourself, you see....?

[Stays silent for a second, looking half surprised at the screen. What Beatrice said made sense... in a way she couldn't completely understand. Quiet tears roll down her cheeks.]

.... .... [ Okay, now she feels bad. And that's... pretty rare when it comes to things like this. Especially since this is... well... her mother that she's saying this to. ]

My apologies. It was not my intention to cause you pain.

.... Breaking out free from a cage must not be easy. Even more than that... You have not once had the chance to explore even Rokkenjima for yourself. Am I right?
