Apple's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

Your arrival is marked by the feel of sand under your feet, with the sound and smell of the ocean wafting in from behind you. A dampness hangs in the air and the sky is overcast. Directly in front of you the sand fades into a grassy hill, on top of which a white castle rests. To the left, a little ways off, you can see tall sandstone cliffs. Off to the right is a large field of sunflowers that stretches out into the distance. There are no paths or signs anywhere to be seen.

I...I heard what you said though! It made me really happy.

Re: TRUE HEART

[squirreledaway]

... Tch. I'm not stupid, but I still don't want anything to do with you.

Re: TRUE HEART

[appleofhiseye]

Re: TRUE HEART

[squirreledaway]

Why?

[he sounds incredulous]

Re: TRUE HEART

[appleofhiseye]

Because I'd like to be friends with you again!

Re: TRUE HEART

[squirreledaway]

I don't want friends! Why would I?!

Re: TRUE HEART

[appleofhiseye]

That's not true.

Re: TRUE HEART

[squirreledaway]

It is!

Re: TRUE HEART

[appleofhiseye]

It's not. It would be too lonely to have a life without friends.

Re: TRUE HEART

[squirreledaway]

You think loneliness would bother me?

Re: TRUE HEART

[appleofhiseye]

[nods!!]

Of course. I know being by yourself is just fine too, since I enjoy spending time alone. But it's also good to have someone to talk to if you need it. There was nothing wrong with us being friends before, was there?

Re: TRUE HEART

[squirreledaway]

You think we were friends before?

Re: TRUE HEART

[appleofhiseye]

We were...
