"Is he bothering you?" Ienzo asked after Lauriam noticed him and excused himself.
"Our relationship is a bit more complicated than that," Namine responded "Don't worry about us." For a moment she seemed wiser than her years. And then she was just Namine. Another of his mismatched family.
"If you want to talk-" Ienzo offered.
Namine shook her head. "Marluxia and Lauriam are not the same person. I know that more than most." She shrugged a little. "But you and him do not follow the same path. Did you need something?"
"Even wanted to know if you planned on staying for dinner or needed a lift to Destiny Islands."
"I'll stay." Namine smiled at him. And then she turned away. "How is Strelitzia's progress?"
Ienzo was taken aback a little. "Well. She should wake soon. The Dandelions will leave once she is ready."
"I see," Namine gave a small nod. "If I go with them will you be sad?"
"Why would you?"
"I wonder. I feel it would be the right thing to do. There are memories I do not understand."
"You are a very unique individual." Ienzo stated and curled a hand before his mouth. "There are still many things we do not understand. But I would not stop you."
"Good."
