“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

I suppose...

[ Albedo smiles a little and points to Oria.

Then, he points to Sinclair.

Following that, he also points to Noé. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria's expression brightens at that. He knows Albedo wouldn't lie about something like this from what he's learned of him, so honestly? That touches his heart. It's nice. Sinclair is also easy to befriend if you're close to him in age and Albedo at least looks like it.

But wait. ]

Oh! You and Memoir are friends?

[ DEETS!!!! ]

[alchemicalbirth]

[ ...Is this what it means to make people happy? Strange, Albedo never thought he was capable of that. ]

Yes.

It is more or less a recent development.

[ ...

He keeps it very concise because he has no idea he's supposed to even give deets. Help. ]

I believe I may have made another as well, but he isn't present right now.

[dissimulative]

Hm?

[ Oria's curiosity continues to shine... ]

Who is it? Someone older?

[ Because they're all around their age here, aren't they? Give or take maybe 3 years or so. ]

[alchemicalbirth]

Tighnari. I don't suppose you have had the chance to speak with him?

[ He is uncertain of his age, so he pauses, thinking about it. ]

I believe he may be older, but it is hard to say.

[ It would be extremely unusual for a forest ranger to be younger, though Albedo supposes given his own circumstances, it wouldn't exactly be surprising either. ]

[dissimulative]

[ All these prodigal young'uns... ]

Oh! Fox! I offered to help him out when we first started the game, but Jackal told me that he's doing fine.

[ Though he didn't seem to come off as any sort of emotional. If anything, he'd think Albedo and Tighnari would be more like business partners instead of friends. ]

I haven't talked to him since though...

[alchemicalbirth]

He is relatively level-headed, so I am not surprised to hear that. Though, that being the case, we happened to meet up around the time everything took a turn for the worst.

[ They sure talked about things. As for the other comment, he says: ]

...In this I am also not surprised. Some people do like to keep to themselves or limit their company than others.

[ Maybe he thinks this because he feels he and Tighnari are like-minded in some personality traits, so he feels he would know. ]

[dissimulative]

Yeah, I get it. I feel like I wanna be alone sometimes too.

[ Which isn't typically expected of such an outgoing person like Oria, but he tends to lone wolf a lot of things, even if he doesn't mind collaborating with others. Even when he feels terrible, he sometimes wants to be alone. ]

There's nothing wrong with that either.
