#baaba

Honey: I wouldn’t necessarily say that I trust her, to be honest I felt rather pressured when she offered her help– I WAS our mother’s prisoner after all. But, if you had to choose between waiting for help to come-not knowing if help was coming at all, or the chance to escape, wouldn’t you choose to escape?

Our deal is simple, she would help me escape from Pandora’s clutches, and I would teach her about emotions. Considering there’s no way for me to sever the psychic link between us on my own, I’m essentially stuck with keeping up my end of the bargain. But how do you “teach” emotions…

Baaba: I don’t know. I just found it lying in the grass nearby. Zero: It must have broken during the bridging... but where are the other pieces? I didn’t even think it could break... Baaba: Well, you had been lying here for quite some time before I found you; it took a while for me to find the source of the lights. I’m not sure many would pass up a piece of gold lying on the ground. The rest must be long gone by now - not worth the effort for a small gold necklace. Zero: No, no! This is not just some necklace! This is my Homeward Key! Without it, I can’t get back home! And I need to get home as soon as possible! Please, please, I can’t lose it! Baaba: Okay, okay, calm down before you pass out. If you really need to find this “key” of yours, your best bet is to go to Hoshi City. The thieves will likely attempt to sell the necklace at the market there. Head due east from here, and you can’t miss it. Zero: Due east? Baaba: ...Toward the rising sun. Zero: Oh! Alright! How... how can I repay you? Baaba: You can repay me by not time traveling, or whatever you did, near here again. It brings... unwanted attention. *Distant shouting* Baaba: Speaking of which... *Distantly*: Baaaaba! Baaba: It seems I am needed. Go now! These woods are not safe. Zero: But- Zero: ....
