=== Seadall & Veyle ===
--- C ---



[Veyle]
Seadall, I've heard you're really good at
telling fortunes.
[Seadall]
I am.
[Seadall]
Or I guess I should say...I was.
[Veyle]
Oh. Does that mean you're...not good at
it anymore?
[Seadall]
Well, I guess I'd say I'm in a bit of a rut at
the moment.
[Veyle]
Hm. I didn't realize fortune-tellers could get
"in a rut."
[Seadall]
It would seem so. Sometimes you just don't
feel it, and it shows in your readings.
[Veyle]
I see. Well, I was thinking of asking you to tell
my fortune.
[Seadall]
Is something troubling you?
[Veyle]
Sort of. I've been very tired lately. I was hoping
there might be some special way to fix it.
[Seadall]
I see. I'm afraid I can't be of much help
right now.
[Veyle]
Is there anything you can do to get your
fortune-telling powers back?
[Seadall]
I don't really know. I think I just have to wait
for it to come back when it's ready.
[Veyle]
...
[Veyle]
Well, how about you tell my fortune anyway?
I won't mind if you get it wrong.
[Seadall]
What? But why?
[Veyle]
Humor me. I'll just assume your reading
is incorrect.
[Seadall]
If that's what you want. Let's begin...
[Seadall]
...
[Seadall]
All is revealed. Go to the market and act like a
cat. Good fortune shall be given you back.
[Veyle]
Act like a cat...in the market? That's a little bit
strange, isn't it?
[Seadall]
Definitely strange. I told you I'm all out of sorts.
Just pay it no mind. It won't come true.
[Veyle]
Hehe, if you say so.

[Veyle]
Seadall! Your fortune the other day. It was right!
[Seadall]
What do you mean?
[Veyle]
I did what you said. I went to the market and
pretended to be a cat. That is, I meowed a lot.
[Seadall]
Really? But I told you to ignore my reading.
[Veyle]
I thought I'd give it a try. You know, just for fun.
But then, something amazing happened.
[Veyle]
I meowed and meowed, and I sounded so much
like a cat, all the mice fled from the market.
[Veyle]
It made everyone at the market very happy...so
happy, they gave me tasty treats to say thanks!
[Veyle]
It was all so exciting that suddenly I wasn't the
least bit tired anymore. Your fortune was right!
[Seadall]
Really? It felt so...off when I said it. But if it was
right on the mark, then...I'm back.
[Seadall]
Though, I don't think I'll be spreading that bit
of news around.
[Veyle]
What do you mean?
[Seadall]
You're very kind, Lady Veyle. You really are.
[Seadall]
I lose my confidence, and you go and make up
this adorable story just to cheer me up.
[Seadall]
And it has cheered me up, so thank you.
[Veyle]
Don't say that. I'm telling the truth! I really am!
[Veyle]
I will be very mad if you don't believe me!
[Seadall]
OK, OK. If it's going to be like that, then...
I believe you. Satisfied?
[Seadall]
Now, since I've done as you asked and believed
your story, allow me to read your fortune again.
[Veyle]
If that's what you want, of course.
[Seadall]
...
[Seadall]
All is revealed. Under a full moon, gather petals
glowing gold. Then comes true a wish so bold.
[Veyle]
Gather flower petals...that are golden and
glowing...when there's a full moon?
[Veyle]
How strange. I don't really understand what it
means, but I guess I can try.
--- A ---


[Veyle]
Look at these flower petals here. How strange.
It's almost like Seadall's fortune said.


[Seadall]
Under a full moon, gather petals glowing gold.
Then comes true a wish so bold.
[Seadall]
The flowers you have there... I see you
remembered my fortune.
[Veyle]
But the flower petals are white, not gold.
[Seadall]
Are they? Hold them up to the full moon.
[Veyle]
Hm? Like this?
[Veyle]
...
[Veyle]
Oh, how lovely! They're shining gold.
[Seadall]
Those flowers only bloom on the night of a
full moon.
[Seadall]
The petals appear white but then shimmer gold
when the moonlight strikes them.
[Veyle]
They're so pretty!
[Seadall]
Their fragrance is thought to have a soothing
power as well.
[Seadall]
I'd be happy if they could ease your pain even a
little, Lady Veyle.
[Veyle]
...
[Veyle]
Thank you, Seadall. You went to a lot of
trouble to do this for me.
[Seadall]
I don't know what you mean.
[Veyle]
Don't be silly. You put together this whole
beautiful act just for me, didn't you?
[Seadall]
I assure you I had nothing to do with it. Also...
A fortune-teller never reveals his secrets.
[Veyle]
Oh, please...
[Seadall]
Now, I've repaid the favor.
[Veyle]
What favor?
[Seadall]
Thanks to your kind gesture before, my fortune-
telling skills are back and as sharp as ever.
[Veyle]
That's wonderful. I'm very happy for you.
[Veyle]
You know, Seadall, the moon is pretty tonight,
isn't it?
[Seadall]
It is. Very. I don't think I'll ever forget how
beautiful it looks tonight.
[Veyle]
No. I don't think I will either.
[Veyle]
Under a full moon, gather petals glowing gold.
Then comes true a wish so bold.
[Veyle]
My wish is to bring peace and happiness to this
world. And also...
[Veyle]
I wish for your happiness too, Seadall.
[Seadall]
Sorry, did you say something?
[Veyle]
No. I'm sure you're just hearing the sound of
flowers blooming in the night.
