[ By the time Mithos arrives, he's soaked and looks like a drowned kitten. Coughing up lung-fulls of water, he sputters something about 'Pronyma' and being stupid. When he first arrives, it looks at first like he's someone else entirely, before reverting to this form; his child form. The change happens too quickly for anyone to tell that he was just in the form of Lord Yggdrasill; he just looks like a glowy ball. ]

P-Pronyma, what are you-- [ Cough, cough. By the time he finally gets up, he looks dazed, still disoriented, and still trying to steady his breathing. The Cruxis Crystal may mean he doesn't need food or sleep, but he still needs to breathe. The explosions of stars in his eyes gone, he looks up at the coral, clutching his side, where he had been hit by a Demon Fang earlier after having fought Lloyd's party in his Yggdrasill form only one day earlier; they had fared better than their first time around (despite still losing), and actually landed a few noteworthy hits on him. He still hadn't recovered from that, and another Demon Fang on an already sore spot was quite painful. ]

Wha... where am I?

[ Rodyle's Human Ranch? No, not unless Rodyle embezzled Desian funds to COMPLETELY RENOVATE THE ENTIRE RANCH WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION. This... this was something else entirely. ]

[Well that answers that. She just watches him, before speaking up again. Her voice raises again and her dog barks sharply.]

All we knew was that being split was killing the worlds and that they stood a better chance of surviving together then separated. If you haven't forgotten, we wanted to split the worlds apart completely because we thought that would help too! Yuan and Kratos never told us that that was why the worlds were split apart, and neither did you. Martel didn't tell us either when she was brought back as part of the new tree's guardian spirit! It's not like you could tell us after we did it either.

[Whoops that was what she wasn't going to tell him. She takes a deep breath.]

If Sylvarant and Tethe'Alla start fighting, then we'll do everything we can to get them to stop without splitting the worlds again.

[martelapproves]

[ Well, that caught him by surprise... ]

Wh-.... what?

[martelapproves]

[ Tears are starting to form up again. ]

What are you talking about...?

[clumsyblonde]

[She sighs.]

After we reunited the worlds and sprouted the Great Seed, some souls joined with Tabatha and created a new Spirit we call Mana. One of the souls inside her is Martel. She's the Guardian Spirit of the new World Tree now. Sure she's not just Martel, but Martel is a part of her.

[martelapproves]

[ Tabitha? That failed doll? The one he tried to use but didn't work? He wants to accuse her of lying, but... ]

Martel's.... a Summon Spirit?

[ He doesn't want to believe it, he can't believe it. But she's been connected to the Great Seed for so long via her Cruxis Crystal, that it does seem to make sense to him. Was it really that simple all along...? ]

How many other souls? Is she still Martel?

[clumsyblonde]

She's part of one now, yes.

Mana never said how many others, but she said that Martel was one of many souls inside of her. Martel spoke to us a couple of times without any of the other souls inside Mana saying anything.

[Hopefully that's enough of an answer since that's all Colette knows.]

[martelapproves]

[ He doesn't want to believe it, but for some reason, he does. Maybe it's because of his desperate refusal to accept that Martel was dead for so long, or maybe it's because it does seem plausible given how long the Seed had kept her soul alive when they were connected. And there was no way Colette could have made that up. She's not as dumb as Lloyd, but. ]

You're... not lying to me, are you?

[ It's an awful lot to take in at once. ]

[clumsyblonde]

[She blinks.]

Why would I lie about that?

[martelapproves]

It wouldn't be the first time a human lied to me just to upset me.

[ It's said way too listlessly and depressed to have been meant as an insult. ]

I'll... I need to go lay down for a while.

[ This is just so much to take in all at once. He desperately doesn't want to believe it, but he does. And he hates her - and himself -for it. ]

[clumsyblonde]

[She sighs again but doesn't say what popped into her mind. I didn't ask why would a human lie about that. I asked why would I lie about that. It's really not the same. She really wants to just hug him, but that's an even worse thing to do that what she's already done.]

Well I wasn't lying.

[She gives him a small smile.] Alright. I hope you'll find a place to stay soon.

[She starts to head off to her own apartment with her bag and her dog.]

[martelapproves]

[ No... he wasn't about to admit that he believed her, even if he did. He'll be fine later. He's just in the "depression" stage of accepting huge news, even if it went from "denial" to "anger" to "depression" pretty quickly. It was Mithos. He was always irrational and hypersensitive. ]

... Thank you.

[ His use of those words shock even him. The tears now silently flowing freely, he teleports away. ]
