A man stands in front of a stove, pouring batter in circles. Behind the scene, a woman speaks with a richly accented and elegant voice.
"John, what are you doing?"
"Making pancakes." The man in the image replies.
"I know that. Why are they green?"
"It's St. Patrick's Day."
"I've heard the land folk speak of this holiday. It sounds like a grand old time..."
"Trust me, it is."

A man and a woman are watching a show together. The woman is looking confused.
"Why are they covering the place in dust? I thought human liked their shelter to be clean?"
"It's to find fingerprints to match them to the guilty person. Are you sure you're OK with watching this?" The man replies from behind the image.
"I'm curious to what your kind calls 'drama'."
The two are quiet for a moment, when the man speaks.
"I've been wondering something for a while."
"Don't be afraid to ask..."
"Why did you trust me, back when I rescued you?"
The woman is silent for a moment, then she spoke.
"No soul is truly bad. A human may do bad things, but that doesn't change the good of their heart. If a man joins a bad cause, just to provide for his family, does that make him bad? I live by the philosophy that everyone should be given a chance..."
"A chance to what?"
"A chance to show kindness..."
~~~~~6/1/89~~~~~
A man is lying on a white sandy beach, a seagull perched on his stomach. The female voice from before quietly laughs.
"John made a friend."
The female sighs. "The land holds so much beauty, and houses many new adventures. When you grow old, my pearl, you will see many things, hear many sounds, and feel many moments. When you grow old, I want you to remember all the beautiful, wonderful, and magnificent things you'll see."
The image then whizzed to a female with brilliant blue eyes and chestnut brown hair. "It pains me I may not be able to watch your adventures, but I will always be with you. Never forget that, my pearl. I love you..."
