«Sen', are you sure you want to do this?» Ojtaro asks her. Two days and he'll have say bye to her for a lot of time. He cannot believe that no one has got the courage to go to the Eye of Eden to save Judylia except Sentinekka. She's so brave... «I don't think that going to the Eden would be a good idea».
«It surely isn't a good idea, Oj'» she answers, shruggling. «But I have to do it. You know that».
«It's too dangerous for you! I still remember when you were a Moth as it was just yesterday!» he exclaims, worried. «You can't deal with that... It's too much for a young and sweet girl like you. You're not used to what you can see in that place». Ojtaro cross his arms - another typical gesture of that boy, huh? - and waits for some words to be heard.
«Are you saying that I'm not able to do that because I'm sweet or similar?» she asks. Something in her face looks disappointed. «I know what I'm doing. I know the risks I'll deal with. You don't».
«You're right, I don't, but you shouldn't underestimate what's inside of the Eden. There's a reason if no one ever comes back».
Sentinekka looks at him, concerned. «What reason?».
«How do you think most of the Spirits died? Some for accidents, some with the Darkness... Most of them with the Eden».
«And... You've never told me».
«I couldn't. I thought you were never going to travel to the last realm, I thought you were safe» he pulls his orange, transparent cloak closer around him, as if it could calm his fear. «But you'll never be safe with me...».
«Oj', you're not dangerous».
«But the Elders are. They want new Lights, and what if they want yours forever? What if they don't want us to stay united?».
«They aren't bad. They just know best, even thought they might seem cruel...».
«They never wanted happiness for their realms, they just want power. Their greed is...».
«Have trust in them, I'm sure they are not greedful».
«They're not?». Ojtaro looks down at the beige sand of the Isle of Dawn. «I wish I was able to believe in them like you do, Sen'. I wish I was...». He takes her hands and adds:«Please, I beg you, don't do anything that could... Put you in troubles. And don't even forget to look behind your back. The Eden and its journey are always different from the other realms».
«I'll stay alert» she smiles and, when she sees his uncertain expression, says:«I promise».
He smiles too. He feels heavy, he knows he must say something important before she goes away, and he doesn't want to say it in front of everyone.
«Mo nifẹ rẹ, my beloved friend» he whispers after pulling her into a warm and comfortable hug.
«And, what is that supposed to mean?» Sentinekka asks with a curious smile.
That's complicated to say in their language. Oh, Megabird. Uhm...
«Good... Luck».
Sure thing. Good luck?! What the honk is he saying?! Someone, please, give him a punch in the face or something!
«Oh, thanks! You're so kind!» she replies, softened, and pats his head while giggling.
«You're welcome...».
Good luck. Wow, he is starting to think he's an idiot sometimes. Leilah will be mad. Mad as someone who wanted to see a romantic or lovely scene.
