Um, excuse me, would anyone here mind a spar with me? I don't want to hurt anyone but ...I think it's been a while since I last fought someone. I'm a Crystal Eren so that means I'm not a physical fighter...

[After a couple of seconds, Shirley thought about it some more]

Actually, I want to ask, would anyone mind teaching me how to fight using your fists? I think I might need some help training... [And you know, getting ready for the Fishlympics]

I'll promise that I'll teach you about Crystal Erens in return!

[And after a couple of minutes or so, Shirley manages to get to the park before deciding to turn back on the feed.

Have some glowing fingernails and see her spam some pink fireballs]

Um, did you see that?

[...

He's definitely seen that somewhere before—and he has a good idea that, in the back of his mind, he knows where.

He tilts his head to one side.]

... Is anyone else from your world here?

Yes but um...

[Well, that made Shirley raise an eyebrow. It can't be Chloe or Moses since they don't know how to cast spells like she does. She wasn't too sure if he was talking about Walter either, he could have met someone else from her world in the past.]

Do you know Walter?

[... Oh. Now it all clicks together.]

Ah, so you're acquainted with that rather rude young man?

Yes, he's... [she wants to say that he's a friend but that's not technically right and she did promise him that she wasn't going to say anything about being a Ferines here. She could say that he's her guard but that would lead to question about her being a Merines...]

...an acquaintance of mine. However, he's a nice person. [...sometimes]

[... Uh.]

I hope you mean that he's kinder to you than he is to others, then.

[... Though if that's the case, then going from what he knows about Walter, Tiir can empathize.]

...

Yes, he is kinder to me compared to others but...I believe he can be kind to others sometimes. [as long as they're of the same race he is...

But subject change!] Can I ask how do you know him?

[...]

I suppose that's believable.

[... Er. The guy who beat him up once and tried to kill him later—]

We've met a few times.

[Wally, what have you done while she wasn't here?]

...I'm guessing that you two don't get along? [Pause and there was a mumble. She was so hoping that he got along with at least someone here]

[Pissing off the wrong psychopath's friends, apparently—]

That would be correct. I don't appreciate rudeness towards my friends, and he has made it clear that he has no intention of changing his attitude.

I can talk to him about it if you want?

...Although, I'm not too sure how much it will change his mind. [And now it feels like she's abusing her powers as the Merines...]

[A light laugh]

I'll be rather impressed if you can do anything about his behaviour.

I can still try?

Um...if he has anything that might have offended you, I want to apologize. [Because Shirley might need to do some damage control...]

Well, I don't particularly care how he acts towards me. However, as I said, I don't appreciate his attitude towards my friends.

...Can I ask exactly what did he do?

As I said, he was discourteous. I suppose he may always be like that, but I hardly believe it was necessary, as my friend was merely trying to assist him.

If I get the names, I can tell him to try to be a bit friendly? I'm not too sure how much it will help but...I think if someone talks to Walter about this...

Well, I'd rather it not be a false kindness on his part, but... her name is Guriko.

[A pause]

Ah, I suppose the same situation would apply to Minato as well...

I see. [Meanwhile Shirley is...a bit surprised. And there was a smile too]

While it might not be on good terms, I'm just glad that Walter is starting to talk to people....a lot more than I thought.

[There's a pause, before he laughs lightly.]

When you put it that way... I suppose it's an improvement for him, even with his poor attitude.

And maybe he'll talk to more people in the future! [Being a bit too hopeful but...]

Ha... I have to say, I'd feel a bit sorry for those people.

Don't worry, I'll be sure to look out after Walter if anything happens no matter what!

Well, hopefully with your influence, he'll become a bit more well-mannered...

I certainly hope so!

That's what I'm planning on!
