Pearl, I have something very important that I would like to check my deduction on!

Well, when I said I was happy for them, Mr. Lockon got very confused... I think what's going on is that Mr. Erde is in love with Mr. Lockon, but Mr. Lockon doesn't know!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Do you really think that's what it is? That's so sad for Mr. Erde if that's true...

[areyoulovers]

I know! It's no wonder he seems so down sometimes!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

It must be so hard for him... being so in love like that, but with the person he loves not guessing anything about it.

Do you think maybe we should try to help him?

[areyoulovers]

I wonder! He gets a little prickly from time to time when discussing that sort of thing, but he might appreciate it!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

There must be something we can do to help. We can't let him live like that for the rest of his life!

[areyoulovers]

Precisely! Maybe we should find out what sort of person Mr. Lockon likes...

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's a good idea! But how do we do that without looking too obvious?

[areyoulovers]

We could phrase it as a general question... oh, but then he might not respond...

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

That's true... maybe there's some way that you can start a conversation about that sort of thing with someone else while he's in the room. Then someone would have to ask him, right?

[areyoulovers]

Oh, that might work! Maybe I can ask Papa what he first liked about Mama, and then ask Mr. Lockon what sort of person he'd like to marry someday!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

That might work! You have to try it and let me know how it goes, okay?

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a good idea! You'll have to try it and let me know, okay?

[areyoulovers]

Of course! I wish you could come and help, though...

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

I really wish I could, too... but I understand if you can't let me visit! I mean, after all, you do live in space, so there are probably lots of rules about who you can let visit you that are different to somewhere on Earth, right?

[areyoulovers]

Um, well, that's not exactly it... it's a little complicated, and there are some secrets involved, but the fact that there are secrets is even a secret...

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Well, not completely, but I think I understand. They must be really important secrets if even that they're secrets is a secret. So... it's okay if you don't tell me. And I promise not to let anyone use a magatama on you to find out what they are!

[areyoulovers]

Thank you! I would tell you if I could, because I know you're very trustworthy, but my papa and mama and everyone have told me it's against the rules. So I'll ask them if it's all right, and when it is I'll tell you!

But what's a magatama?

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll look forward to when that happens, then.

It's like the stone that I wear on my necklace! They're like good luck charms, but they can be charged up with spiritual energy and used to see if people have secrets, and how strongly hidden the secret is. They can be used to unlock secrets if you know how and you have enough proof.
