[soba]

They were guessing that you got punished for something. Is that true?

[ i'm sorry he doesn't know how to say hi ]

[cluedin]

[And then she pushed Toi out of the tower. Too bad. So sad. But she looks mildly flustered at the question before she shakes her head.]

I don't know if I'd call it a punishment...sometimes things just happen.

[soba]

Things just happen.

[ he repeats it ]

[cluedin]

Yeah. [. . .] Sometimes things just happen and sometimes you say things you probably shouldn't be saying, okay?

[soba]

Oh.

Wait, so you did break a rule?

[cluedin]

Well! [UGH!!!] It wasn't like a rule-rule, but it was like stuff that we should keep in mind and try to abide by anyway.

[i.e. the definition of a rule, but okay.]

[soba]

You just described a rule?

[cluedin]

...it was like an unspoken rule. Does that still count as a rule?

[soba]

If you knew about it then, yeah, kind of.

[cluedin]

We knew about it but I didn't think it was so bad that it counted as breaking a rule. [She shrugs.] I don't regret it though so...whatever.

[soba]

Uh huh...

[ oh well. ]

Wait. But if you do something like that again, would it be more severe?

[cluedin]

Um...probably! [Haha.] This was more like a warning.

[soba]

Don't do something stupid. Your sisters will worry about you.

[cluedin]

My sisters will be fine and will learn from example. [She's frowning.] I had to do my job. Even if it wasn't exactly the appropriate way to do it.

[soba]

... right.

[ he sighs ]

Well, keep doing your job then, I guess.

[cluedin]

I will. And my job is to help the guests as well as I can for any needs they may have. [So...that might answer that.]

[soba]

[ PEACH, ]

[cluedin]

[She just makes a face.]

Stop looking at me like that.

[soba]

You were answering someone's request then?

[cluedin]

More or less, yeah. I was answering people's questions that came from a request.

[soba]

Can I request something then?

[cluedin]

...I suppose so. Like what?

[soba]

[ ... ]

Don't do something that will make your sisters sad, in the end.

[cluedin]

...it's never been intentional. My sisters and I have lived for a very long time and have seen a lot of things. I think they would be alright in the end.

[soba]

Well, maybe they'll be alright in the end.

But there's still a lot of time between now and then, isn't there?
