{30 Angel Feathers; January 6th}

I'm glad those that were taken are back again. That's a relief. And things seem to be calming down with the effects of the water supply. I'm...sorry to those who knew Mister Ryuuji. I wish there was a way to end this war without losing anyone. [It's idealistic and perhaps naive, but Colette truly never wants anyone to be hurt (emotionally or physically), or killed if there might be another way around it.]

A-anyway, um, welcome back to everyone that left on the missions! I was just....wondering. I haven't seen Zelos in a bit. I don't suppose anyone else knows where he is?

I know, sometimes telling your friends things....can be scary. But sometimes it helps, too. You can't know for sure what he might say unless you really sit down and talk with him about it, right? Even if it is scary. I think...the chance of being happy with someone, it'd be worth the risk.

[Maybe if her own situation was different...she and Lloyd might be like that. Though she is not sure she would ever really tell him how she feels. She is still just coming to terms with the idea that she won't die at the Final Seal and all.]

I suppose you're right. [But she was right, he had to talk to Minato sooner or later. Now that Yukari was gone, who knows what his answer might be] It wouldn't be fair to keep this to myself from him...

If you don't talk to him, he might not know that it's still upsetting you now, so...I think talking to him about it would be a good idea. Then he can decide what to do about it. [Colette was never one to burden others with her problems but she did always like to try and help others when she could, especially her friends. If only she could apply that to herself.]

Yeah, it might be a good idea.

[Then there was a small smile]

Thank you, Colette-san, I really needed it.

Ah, yes. I'm not sure how much I could help, I don't really....have experience with things like that but since you came to me about it, I wanted to try. I hope things work out though!

I hope so too!

[Then there was a pause]

I don't mean to be rude but ...I heard you talking about someone in your life too?

Oh. Well, um....there's...Lloyd. But it's not like I've ever actually told him how I feel. [There was a lot in the way of Colette having any kind of relationship. It's a wonder she had any friends at all given the town of Iselia were all pretty much expecting her to die on her Journey and all. It was the main reason she had not said anything aloud about her feelings for Lloyd, but there was also the anxiety in that if he felt the same way. Not that she had ever really even considered the possibility of living long enough to actually be in a romantic relationship with someone.]

Um...could I ask why not? [Because it wouldn't be fair for her to talk all her feelings out with Colette and not to help her with anything in return. Now that she thought about it, she and Colette probably have a lot of talking to do.]

Well....because...because of the Journey. Not every Chosen is successful, and even if they are...they don't tend to return. [Which Fuuka can probably guess some amount of the truth of what is supposed to happen to Colette back home. With something like that weighing on her shoulders, it did not seem fair to take any relationship too far. Doing so would only end in more pain when they found out the truth, that Colette was supposed to die. And even those who would make it to the Final Seal, they would be taken as potential candidates to be a vassal for Martel and all.]

[After she heard Colette's response, Fuuka suddenly felt guilty.]

Oh, I see, I-I'm sorry. Perhaps...I shouldn't have said that. [Although, she can somewhat relate. After all, Minato did risk his life to save all of them]

Ah, n-no, it's okay! I like that you came to me about it. The more partners know about each other and the better they work together the better the missions should go and all. I don't mind. I'm just sorry it isn't something I have more experience with to help.

[Because of course Fuuka is the most important and Colette wants to help.]

No, it's fine! I'm glad that I talked to you about this!

[pause] It isn't good to keep things bottled up.

Yes. I'm glad you did too. It's...not good, to keep things bottled up.

[If only Colette would take her own advice. :l]

Mind if I ask you another question? [Pause]

There's something else that I have been wondering. If your friend comes here and she was in love with the same person...what would you do?

W-well....if she talked to Lloyd and he was okay with it and happy....I'd be glad someone was able to make him smile that much.

[Because Colette is ever the selfless one and of course, she has never even entertained the idea Sheena or Presea or Raine felt the same way she did about Lloyd.]

[There was a long pause coming from Fuuka]

It seems that we have a lot more in common than we thought. That's...why I was asking how to get over a former love.

[Colette manages a small smile. Certainly, in a lot of ways Fuuka was perhaps more similar to her than Shishito had been.]

It seems so. I'm glad you came to me. I just wish I could help more, but I don't really have any experience like this.....I guess it mostly depends on what he chooses. Talking to him and seeing where it goes from there? You might not need to get over him if he decides he wants to be with you, Fuuka.

N-No, it's fine! I'm just glad that you're willing to talk with me!

[Pause] I guess so but...it still seems rather selfish of me to just take him away from my friend like that. [And a part of her didn't want him to choose her, she didn't want to have conflict with Yukari]

Of course I'm willing to talk with you! I mean, if you need someone to listen....um, I'm here.

It....maybe, but it would be up to Minato. He might be happy as things are now. Or maybe he wants to be with you, or your friend. It would be up to him, really. [But she can see how Fuuka would potentially feel bad. Colette probably would in the same situation.]

I think I would feel better if he did wanted to be friends with me. It...might be better that way. [She mumbled to herself a bit]

It's up to you if you want to talk to him about it and explain, if just to help yourself feel better about it and so he knows.

[A pause]

No, I believe that I will. Nothing will get done if I don't and besides...I can't run away from him forever.

Right! I'm glad you've decided, at least. Even if I'm still not quite sure how much help I was....let me know how it goes though?

Don't worry, I will!

Even if it doesn't, I'm sure that everything will turn out okay. [Hopefully]

I hope so. As long as you and Minato are okay and are both happy.
