"Your method of grieving is quite crude, but I can admire the dedication you harbor for your loved one."
"Crude...? Is it?"
"Oh, it would, wouldn't it? Perhaps one day I'll show you. Though... we've never had people over before, so I wonder if the forest would welcome you."
"The forest you live in... it sounds like it would make for a beautiful painting."
"Magic science? Why don't you move to the West for that? I'm not really that interested in it, but there's a lot of it here."
"Why does where I live matter to you? You hate talking about yourself. Why don't you move back East then?"
"I think my parents have one of his paintings? I never really paid a lot of attention to that kind of stuff, though."
"A kid? Why was a kid summoned? That seems kind of... I don't like that."
"If not for the fact that we're both summoned wizards who have to work together each year, I would have killed you long ago."
"Do you really think you could?"
"We have the same hobbies! It's so fun to match! I just wish she would smile a bit more. She's sooo much more serious now than she was when she was younger!"
"..."
"Oh, he's weeeeird weird."
"He's very protective of the younger wizards. His magic is fairly powerful, too. If he weren't so wary of me, perhaps I'd have taught him too."
"I've got a whole lot of magic to catch up on learning, and he offered to help! Sometimes he seems a bit odd, but I think it might just be cultural differences? Or maybe generational, or skill, or... Huh, we're super different, aren't we?"
"I'm interested purely in her magic and its development. She has a strong heart."
"... Something about him unsettles me. I always find myself on edge when he mentors our young Mori."
"... Is there any sort of problem, Lady De Vere?"
"When she first introduced herself to me, I thought, 'I recognize that family name!', then realized that... it was because I heard once that her family's lineage ended generations ago. Apparently they had a decent amount of influence. I haven't mentioned anything, but... sometimes her eyes look far away and I don't know what to do. It makes me sad to think about, especially since she's such a kind lady."
"The little girl mentioned she attended boarding school before coming here. I wonder sometimes if her parents tried to hide her like mine did with me. It's such a shame... she's exceptionally sweet."
"I've heard of your art, but never would have guessed I'd meet you personally. It it true that something as small as a signature on the back could change the value as much as they say?"
"Ugh, don't even remind me..."
"Really, I feel a bit... Well, 'bad' wouldn't be the right word. That has a rude connotation to it, no? I'm not sure if I can think of what would be the right word. Haha. I guess it's just that I know what it feels like to... Oh, nevermind. I'm just interested in her magic."
"Miss Carmine is a funny lady. We don't talk too much, but I don't think she's as mean as the stories say she is. I can always count on her to support me when I tell some teeny tiny little white lies, even if I didn't ask her to. Sometimes we play hide-and-seek."
"She's.. a-a little straightforward, it's hard for m-me to actually.. Um.. Deny her.. But, s-she isn't mean, she's just a kid. As long as she's happy. She.. r-reminds me of.. (...)"
"It still counts as adult supervision even if they don't stop me from doing things, right? Ehe. I mean, he's an adult... I think. Right? So if I just always make him come with me when I want to play, then I can always say I have adult supervision! It's perfect!"
"Hey, aren't you...? Hm, maybe I've got the wrong person. I've met a lot of different people, after all."
"Hah. It's quite rude to tell someone to their face that you might have forgotten them, you know? ...Nonetheless, it doesn't matter to me at all. Would it make you feel better if I changed my appearance to that of someone more recognizable to you?"
