Masa con Papas: Proxy's Memory

[ThreadLurkingComorant]

 Charon: Don’t know where to start, you’ve been gone a long time.

Zinnia: Recent is good.

Charon: Got my license to operate under a guild..

Charon: Geezer’s managed to get pretty far with knighthood. Works in this region but still makes time to visit.

Zinnia: He’s a good egg.

Charon: He is.. Admire him.

Zinnia: An envy at all? Be honest.

Charon: None, he’s never made me feel any less.

Charon: It’s comforting knowing that if things don’t work out, I’ve got someone to depend on.

Charon: Truth be, think I just want to be able to do more for him.

Zinnia: Guilt?

Charon: Plenty.

Zinnia: You think he holds it against you at all?

Charon: I worry but.. If he’s hiding hard feelings, I’ll probably never know.

Zinnia: Don’t think he does, honest.

Charon: Grandma’s doing pretty good. As much as she talks about retiring, don’t think she can fully commit.

Charon: She “retired” recently but she still goes out.

Zinnia: For some people, retiring just means taking it a bit easier. 

Zinnia: Think you could do that for yourself here and there?

Charon: I can.

Your proxy scooted up close to you.

Zinnia: That right there. That’s what you need right now.

Charon: Been told.

Zinnia: Easier to be nice to people who aren’t you.

Zinnia: But this is a nice compromise I think.

Charon: It’s done a lot for me. Don’t think I could ever go out of my way to hurt it.

Zinnia: What kindness you carry… that’s the real Charon I think.

Zinnia: That proxy of yours too.

Zinnia: Reconnect with yourself through it, think you’ll find the rest of you.

Zinnia: Maybe not in the same sense but…

Zinnia: I think being complete is more than the body you’re born with.

Charon: Honest question.

Zinnia: Oh?

Charon:.. You think I’ll do good?

Charon: This family means a lot…

Zinnia: I wouldn’t worry about it, honestly.

Zinnia: Just be the best you can and you’ll find your way.

Zinnia: You have power, knowledge, and good people in your life.

Zinnia: I’d be more surprised if you didn’t leave a mark frankly.

Charon: Mm..

Charon: Can’t deny the last one.

Charon: I wanna do good for them.

Zinnia: Aye.

Zinnia: I think you’re set personally, I’ve made my judgment here.

Charon: Did I pass?

Zinnia: Think you know.

Zinnia: Whether you’re ready or not, a mentor awaits you soon.

Zinnia: One who’ll push you to be their equal no matter what.

Zinnia: When that time comes, I want you to go beyond them.

Zinnia: I want you to be the one who teaches them something in the end.

Charon: Soon?

Zinnia: Very. You should be on your way but for now do me a quick favor.

Charon: Oh?

Zinnia: Let Opera know she’s next. 

Zinnia: When I’ve gone through each of you, we’ll meet as a group.
