And your hard work has proved very fruitful.
[Because the chocolates are great!]

Were you able to make enough for all of your friends, as well?

[Unfortunately she couldn't really end up finishing hers (she shouldn't have gotten a blue pot...) but she'd make it up to him.]

[He nods in response.]

Yes, I did. I think I made a little more than I needed.

[He'll probably give the spares to his brothers or other people he knows as extras.]

I think that making more than you need is never a bad thing.

[He could give it to other people he knows, right?]

Yeah... I was a little worried that I might waste them.

[But as long they don't expire too soon, they should be okay.]

I have heard that chocolate lasts quite a while, so I am sure there is very little to worry about. And it is very delicious, so I do not think there will be a problem of them being wasted.

[He nods.] They do... and they last longer if they're inside a container or fridge. [Ah, speaking of containers. Sayo should get his ready for his chocolates.]

That is true! Although it is not just chocolates but many, many things which last longer in "fridges". I had never been aware of that until I saw them.

[They tended to use huge blocks of ice and straw back where she came from, but she probably would have never been allowed to see them.]

We have them back home, so I know about them. [The joys of coming from 2205.] They're useful as long they have power.

[If they have another blackout... the food would last for a while before expiring sooner.]

If you had them back home, that would mean you are from a more "modern" world, right?

[Maybe it was because they'd never lost power back in Holly Heights, but-]

I had never thought that they could be useless without power. Although I suppose that does make sense. But then why did they not create a way for it to work despite that?

Yes... It's not like this place, but my world is modern.

[Is. Was? Sayo doesn't quite believe in his home world's destruction, yet.]

... I don't know. I don't really think about it.

[He worries about following orders and fighting. Not... how things work.]

What is your world like?

[Veronica would have said "is" and still does whenever she talks of the people she knows back in both her own world and Holly Heights.]

I see. It is all right if you do not know. I can find out.

My world is...

[Sayo pauses. What was life like outside of the citadel and the collection? He got a glimpse through the technology they have like "TV shows" and pictures.]

It's different from my old life. It's like being here, but not as many robots and bright lights. But... I don't usually leave the citadel if I don't have a mission.

Your old life? [...was this the one where he was shown to strangers?]

And why did you not leave the citadel? Did you not wish to?

[His old life before the collection and the army. Being just a sword and a sword with a human body are two, distinctly different life for him.]

... I never thought about it. I usually stay with my brothers or follow Master's orders. I haven't thought of leaving the citadel for any other reason.

I see. [If she was in his place, she'd have taken every chance to explore...but she supposed that was what she would have done and he must have his own reasons.]

So you were not curious about it. [She's quiet for a moment, trying to wrap her mind around the thought of someone who wouldn't be curious of the world outside. She's learned something new and the thought has her smiling again.] What was the citadel like, then? Surely you must have spent a lot of time there?

[Describing the citadel? Sayo blinks, before he nods and try his best.]

The citadel's... big. Very big. [He's trying.] We have a lot of space and room, but almost everyone share a bedroom in groups. I shared mine with my brothers.

[And continues to do so here.]

But... we have enough land to farm food and take care of the horses. So there's always work for us if we don't get deployed to the front lines.

I think even with the room, it is better to share bedrooms. It is much more comforting that way.

[Or at least, that's her opinion on it.]

You had horses? And a farm, as well? Where were you deployed to?

[Sayo nods and thought for a moment. He guess he can tell her.]

Yes, we do. We farm so we wouldn't go hungry and we can ride out on horses into battle. [Mainly for the slower swords. A lot of the faster swords can fight on foot.] ... As for where we were deployed to, it's to Japan in the past.

[Time travel!]

I see.

[So swords could get hungry too.]

You went to the past? How? Why?

I don't really understand the process... but we do.

[~~Read: Still waiting for solid info about it.~~]

We went back to the past because there are enemies who wants to change history... So we fight and stop them.

[If he didn't understand the process, she won't push the topic. She does make a note to look this up later.]

Enemies who are also from the future?

[He nods.]

Yes... at least, they want to change the past, so they have to be from the future as well.

[It's the only logical explanation he can think of.]

I see.

[That does make sense.]

Why did they wish to change it?

I don't know their reasons... but they would want history to happen differently.

[All he was needed to know was they they need to preserve history as they know it.]

I see. You did not wish to ask them?
