Linda asks to start with how they deciphered the first part of the prophecy. Leonardo states that he himself solved the first part since it wasn't difficult, but he has a team of decipherers and philologists to work together on the second half.

"What could "Red Dove" even mean?" Says Linda.

Leonardo responded, "That's what we're stumped on, but maybe with your help as a new perspective, we'll figure that out quicker."

Then Linda and Leonardo talked about theories and new perspectives of the prophecy for hours, until it was an hour til sunrise.

Leonardo says, "You should prepare for bed now..." he smirks and gets closer, "Unless you plan to see me turn into a Lion."

Linda excitedly says, "I can really see you?!"

Leonardo laughs and responds, "Yes~ but, it requires me to remove my clothes... so they won't rip."

Linda blushes and says, "Oh My! I'm sorry!" Then got up, "I'll go prepare for bed now!"

But, before she leaves, Leonardo smiles and says "I'll send Carla to escort you to the Research Room, so the team can catch you up on everything. Then once you're caught up, I'll have Garson escort you back here tomorrow night. So we can talk about the bloodline's curse."

"I thought you didn't want to get into it?" Linda says.

"True, but I have a feeling that telling you... will be beneficial."

"Beneficial?" She thought... But she actually said it out loud.

Leonardo laughs and says, "It's funny to know you have a tendency to speak your thoughts out loud accidentally. You've been doing it every so often during our talk."

Linda blushes in embarrassment and says, "My~ I know all too well that I have that tendency, but I just can't fix it."

"You don't need to fix it, it's quite charming."

Linda blushes even more and says while smiling, "Thank you."

Leonardo blushes and says, "You're very much welcome, now have a good ni- well morning now."

"Yes, have a good morning." She says while smiling.

After Linda left, Leonardo took a moment to himself, replaying his and Linda's discussion in his head.

"She had a lot of good points and perspectives... I knew it... she's the "child" in the prophecy... whoever or whatever the "Red Dove" is... They're incredibly lucky."

When Linda returned to her room, she found her sisters asleep in her bed. Felda says that they were waiting for her to return so they could talk, but she came back too late.
