Sybil considered Hajari's suggestion for a moment, and noticing how worried Ritsu was getting, nodded firmly.
"I think that makes more sense," she agreed, and nodded again. "Cause you're right. We went on vacation once, and they had a big old building that said that some important person died and was buried there," Sybil said, sounding matter of fact about it all. She didn't remember who, she had been only a little kid at the time, and not very interested in that sort of thing.
"So if he had died, they'd make a big stone building and cover it in metals and carvings and put a plaque out. But they didn't, so he didn't. Right?" she asked, looking between Hajari and Ritsu for agreement.
Ritsu breathed a sigh of relief. He was very glad to know that someone hadn't died here, and if both Hajari and Sybil said so, then he was willing to agree, too. So he nodded, silently, and bit his lip, not sure what else to suggest.
"Maybe... there was someone trapped somewhere? By... a monster. Maybe a damsel?" he asked, and blushed hard at actually making a suggestion. It was probably stupid and he wrung at his skirt, working himself up into a good loud apology.
Sybil interrupted, and poked him in the ribs, before agreeing happily.
"Oh, right! I totally forgot about that! Maybe his loooover sent that bottle," she said with glee, drawing out the word lover with a giggle. "She'd be a princess, right?" she asked, and looked around to see what they thought again.
Rime watched the kids with Mooger, and tilted her head to one side, smiling at their antics.
"They seem to balance each other well, don't they?" she asked, speaking of Hajari and Sybil encouraging Ritsu to be more outgoing, while at the same time, the two boys seemed to make Sybil more aware of how her words made others feel. She was sure there was a similar effect happening for Hajari, but couldn't be certain.
