Melina

Here you go Noah, I got you your favorite.

Noah

Blepple!

Melina

That's a good boy. I bet you were hungry!

Noah

Blup!

Melina

That good, huh? You're really chowing down on that thing...

???

You sure do eat a lot for a little guy. Almost as much as Moke!

Melina

Who's there?!

Sorry if I startled you. I did not intend for my eyes to linger. I was out to get some fresh air, when I heard your voice...

Melina

Well, you DID startle me! ...But, it's fine. I was just giving Noah something to eat.

I appreciate your magnanimity, Melina. Have you been sharing your food with him the whole time we've been traveling?

Melina

More or less...

I know this is none of my business, but do you have enough food for yourself? You're a growing girl, you need your nutrients. If anything, I should be sharing my food with you.

Melina

Stop being such a worry wart, Clarte. I'm fine. I'm a light eater, that's all.

Noah

Blerp...

Melina

All done, are you? Was it enough?

Noah

Blep-blep!

Melina

Good. That means no scavenging for scraps then, okay?

Scavenging?

Melina

Noah is a smart little guy, but he has this thing where he likes to go out and scavenge for food.

I didn't expect him to be so much like Moke. Quite a surprise, indeed.

Melina

Yeah, I get what you mean. The thing is though, I've never actually seen him do it.

Then how do you know he is?

Melina

Well... There are days where he doesn't eat a single thing I feed him...

And you think that is because he's finding food from somewhere else?

Melina

Yeah, I am pretty sure, anyway. He always acts like this when he's full. There are days where he won't even eat his favorite food, so I know it's not just him being picky...

Perhaps someone else is feeding him?

Melina

I don't think so... Noah doesn't really like other people. To be honest, I was shocked when I saw he wasn't afraid of you.

I see, then I guess he really is scavenging for food, then.

Melina

It just makes me so worried. He's been fine so far, but what if he eats something he shouldn't?

Noah

Blepple blep!

A little after-lunch run, eh?

I'm going to go back and be with the others, would you like to come along?

Melina

I think I'll stay here a little longer. I need the fresh air.

As you wish. Till the next time, Melina.

Melina

Stupid Clarte, making me even more curious than I already was!

If I go, it's going to be like I'm spying on him, which makes me feel a little bit guilty? But...

...Maybe I should just go check and see if he's okay.

Girl

Awwww! Look at the kitty! Or is it a foxy? Mmmm I dunno whatsit but I know it's a aminal! Do you want something to eat Mr. Aminal?

Noah

Blep?

Girl

Huh. Maybe Mr. Aminal isn't hungry?

Oh well... If you ever get hungry, I have food, okay? Bye-bye!

Melina

(See? It's not like he just makes friends with whoever tries to feed him, Clarte!) (That said, I did just feed him, so I doubt he's out for food. I should just head back...)

Noah

Bleeeepchoo!

Melina

(Was that a sneeze?) (That must mean...)

Noah

Blip-blep!

Melina

He found a source of magic!

A monster like that let loose in town would be dangerous. I should go after it!

Catch the monster!

Melina

Well done, Noah. Thanks to you, the people of the Merlot District can live in peace.

Noah

Blip...

Melina

What's the matter? You did well! You should be happy!

Hm. Well, we should head back to the Merlot District.

Noah

Blep...

Elder

Sister Melina! I was just about to look for you.

Melina

Well, you found me! What do you need?

Elder

I have some rations here that are about to expire, and... Well, there's more than we can eat on our own, so...

Here, take these. They're asariomato.

Melina

Really?!

Elder

Of course. You do like asariomatoes, right?

Melina

Ah, yes. Of course. Thank you so much. It's just Noah and I were on our way somewhere, so I really must be going.

Right, Noah?

Noah

Bleh-blep?

Melina

You are such a handful, you know that? But yes, sorry, we really should go now.

Elder

O-Okay, well I, uh...

Melina

Ready Noah? You wanted to go over there, right? Okay, let's go!

Open wide!

Noah

Bleep? Blep-blip-blop!

Melina

Yummy? You deserve a treat after how good you did today!

???

Excuse me, Melina?

Melina

Clarte! Again! You startled me!

Did your eyes "linger" again?

Heh, I do apologize. I did not know you couldn't eat asariomatoes.

Melina

So you saw that...

I'm so disappointed in myself. I feel like such a child for being a picky eater...

It's not that you're picky, Melina. There are just things people your age simply cannot eat.

But, I do find it slightly peculiar. Rosetta once told me you loved tomatoes...

Melina

I love Mesaiomato, those are different!

Ah yes, Mesaiomatos... ...How are those different, again?

Melina

It's a personal thing...

Mesaiomatos were the first thing I was able to plant in these lands.

When I saw them grow here for the first time, they were so beautiful, I couldn't help myself. Such life in a land with so little...

Ever since then, I've been able to eat them no problem.

But other types of tomatoes? No thanks.

I see... I think I'm beginning to understand a little better about what makes you tick, Melina.

Melina

I will destroy you if you tell anyone else about this, got it?

Your words wound me, Melina. What makes you think I'd tell someone else?

Melina

I mean...

I've heard that sharing your personal truths is the key to strong friendships.

Which is why I shall not share yours with anyone else.

Melina

You're a good person, you know that?

Heh, I don't know about all that. Now that I have this leverage, maybe I'll decide to start giving you all the food I can't eat?

Melina

That doesn't bother me in the slightest. Just give it to me and mums the word.

Then it's settled. We're now officially partners in food crime. Anyway, we should get back.

Melina

Yeah, we should go. Looks like Noah's done, too.

Noah

Blerp!

......

Hmmm...

Little Noah...just who exactly are you scavenging for?
