NP: >[Paloma, are you there?]
AA: <\ Hello, Yunato... />
NP: >[Ah, hello.]
NP: >[I hadn't heard anything from you lately and wanted to see how you were.]
AA: <\ Um, well... I've been hiding away from the Watcher. I, I hope you haven't been looking for me! />
NP: >[Ah, that makes sense!]
NP: >[I don't suppose you'd tell me where you've been hiding; for the best actually.]
AA: <\ Y, yes... though, though I may be heading back soon. />
NP: >[Oh?]
NP: >[Did something happen?]
NP: >[The Watcher didn't attack you again, did he?]
AA: <\ No, nothing like that! />
AA: <\ Just... I... I screwed up. />
NP: >[Is there any way I can help you somehow?]
AA: <\ It... it's probably best you don't get involved. />
NP: >[You're my friend, I like to think that involves me, however tangentially.]
NP: >[You don't have to explain what's wrong if you don't want to though.]
AA: <\ No, it... it's okay. But, thank you for your concern! />

NP: >[Well, I'll make sure to keep closer contact with you when you get back, just in case the Watcher does in fact return.]
AA: <\ Thank you, Yunato. />
NP: >[Hmm, perhaps some better line of conversation is in order...]
NP: >[Ah yes! How have things been with you and Cucali?]
AA: <\ Oh, I... />
AA: <\ Things are... they've been. />
NP: >[...Perhaps that was not the best line of conversation to take?]
AA: <\ It's just... complicated. />
NP: >[Well, I'd be willing to listen if you like.]
NP: >[But I'd understand if you'd prefer to talk to your moirail about it instead.]
AA: <\ It, it's both complicated and personal. I, I had better not get into it. />
AA: <\ But... for a little while, everything was good... I can be glad of that, can't I? />
NP: >[Yes. Yes of course you can.]
NP: >[I'm sorry to hear that it's no longer the case.]
AA: <\ It'll be okay... />
NP: >[Yes, I'm certain whatever is wrong is nothing that can't be fixed with time and effort.]
AA: <\ You, you're right. />
NP: >[I find most things can be calmly and reasonably resolved with adequate communication.]
AA: <\ I, I guess so... />
AA: <\ ... say, Yunato... />
NP: >[Yes?]
AA: <\ If someone was really, really hurting... is it best to leave them alone for a while? />
NP: >[Hm.]
NP: >[That depends.]
NP: >[Sometimes people need time to heal.]
NP: >[Other times, a troll might really need someone by their side to help them through the pain.]
AA: <\ How, how do you tell? />
NP: >[Well, I assume there's someone you have in mind, correct?]
NP: >[What do you think they'd prefer right now?]
AA: <\ They keep trying to push me away, but... />
NP: >[Hmm...]
NP: >[I'm taking a small leap of faith in logic here, but if Cucali is hurting, would it not be better to let her moirail help her?]
AA: <\ ... />
AA: <\ It... please don't think too deeply on what I'm asking you. />
NP: >[My apologies.]
NP: >[I recommend giving her a little space right now, but make certain that you're open and willing to talk to her should she come to you and wish to speak to you.]
AA: <\ Okay... />
NP: >[I think it would also be all right to let her /know/ that she can come to you if she wants, but don't press the issue.]
AA: <\ ... okay. />
NP: >[Simply make sure she knows you're available to her if she wants it.]
NP: >[That's all the advice that I can think of to give.]
AA: <\ Thank you... />
NP: >[I do sincerely hope that things will turn out all right for you and everyone else involved, Paloma.]
AA: <\ Thank you, Yunato. You're a good friend. />
NP: >[Anytime.]
NP: >[I'll let you go now; talk to you later.]
AA: <\ Goodbye, Yunato... />
NP: >[Farewell.]
