*Some time after his first visit, Tifanel, still concerned goes back to Thorn's home again.*
Tifanel: Hey, Thorn?
Thorn: Hmm?
Tifanel: I've had my hair cut. *It looks no different at all.* You like?
Thorn: Err, yes...
Tifanel: You wouldn't believe how long it took... 2 hours for crying out loud... Anyhoos, I didn't come here to show off my new 'do.
Thorn: You had other reasons?
Tifanel: Yeah, um... *Looks a little embarrassed.* I'm kinda... uh... lonely cos you and
the Queen are the only friends I have.
Thorn: I know how you feel.
Tifanel: Speakin' of which, I found out where she's gone off to. I went to where they said she was, but I couldn't find the damn place, so I came back here.
Thorn: I think I know where she is. I could get there, but I assume she wants to be alone.
Tifanel: When she came back to the Spirit World before runnin' off again, she said she wanted to see you, but didn't know if you wanted to see her.
Thorn: I do. I want to explain.
Tifanel: She wanted to say she was sorry.
Thorn: Oh...
Tifanel: So, you gonna go see her?
Thorn: I don't know, I mean, what if I just go angry and homicidal again? I don't want to hurt her...
Tifanel: Your choice. Is it worth taking that risk?
Thorn: *Thinks it over.* …I'll see her... I need to hear what she has to say... *Teleports to where she is.*

*In the world of Yochi, Thorn finds himself there on a long, open plain. It looks completely empty at first, but on closer inspection, there is a patch of ground that looks slightly suspicious.*
Thorn: Hmmm...*Goes over to it and cautiously steps on to it.*
*Nothing happens.*
Thorn: Okay… *He jumps up and down on it, and it suddenly opens.* Whoa!
*He falls and is suddenly teleported to the outside of a run-down, but once great mansion. It has an eerie feeling to it. He goes inside. The place is filled with broken traps, weapons and what appear to be torture devices. Several torture chambers can be seen.*
Thorn: *Shudders a little.* Hello?
*A flash of a person running past is seen for an instant.*
Thorn: *Turns round.* Huh?
*Suddenly, without warning, a small cat girl jumps blindly at Thorn wielding a pointed stick.*
Cat Girl: YAAAA!!!
Thorn: Vinchente!
Cat Girl: *Is stopped in her tracks by a holding spell. She has a shock of ginger hair, brown fur and large green eyes.* Eeek! You're gonna dip me in lava now, aren't you? Or are you gonna to sacrifice me to the Devil?
Thorn: No, I'm going to ask you what you were doing attacking me.
Cat Girl: You're not gonna hurt me?
Thorn: No. Now what were you doing?
Cat Girl: So you're not the Creepy Guy who owns this mansion?
Thorn: 'Sacrifice you to the Devil…' Is that what you said?
Cat Girl: Yahuh.
Thorn: Kuja...?
Cat Girl: I'm sorry I attacked you. I thought Creepy Guy had come home and would torture me for coming into his house!
Thorn: No, he won't be coming back. You can stay here.
Cat Girl: Um... *Pokes at the ground with her stick.* It's just 'cos you're kinda creepy too...
Thorn: Yeah, I get that a lot.
Cat Girl: What's your name?
Thorn: Thorn. Umm, did you see a woman here? About so high, with long black hair?
Cat Girl: Thorn, that's a funny name... Thorny, hee hee. Yeah, I saw a girl. She's dressed funny too. My name's Kitzie Malone, and I like going outside and animals, and colouring in.
Thorn: *Smiles.* Really?
Kitzie: Yeah, with crayons and paints and stuff. Do you like it too?
Thorn: I used to, when I was your age.
Kitzie: Why don't you like it anymore?
Thorn: I, err... have other things on my mind. Do you know where she went?
Kitzie: Yeah, follow me. *Runs off with cat-like speed.*
Thorn: Great. *Spreads his wings and flies after her.*
*They come to a large wooden doorway.*
Kitzie: She's through there. I didn't go and talk to her, 'cos I thought she might be a friend of Creepy Guy...
Thorn: She is... *Opens the door.*

*Outside in the mansion grounds, Laurenza is stood looking into a reflective pool, stroking a mature purple Dragon. The Dragon is curled protectively around something wrapped in a white cloth, presumably Kuja's body. She hears the sound of the door opening and turns around.*
Laurenza: Thorn?
Thorn: Laurenza...
Laurenza: Thorn... why did you come here?
Thorn: Tifanel told me you wanted to see me.
Laurenza: I did, and I didn't. I wanted to apologise, but saying 'sorry' won't make everything right. *Looks back into the water.* It's just one little word that means nothing.
Thorn: Maybe not to you, I'm really sorry, Laurenza.
Laurenza: Why should you apologise? I was the one who was heartless. You already said you were sorry but I just didn't care. I don't know what came over me…
Thorn: Tell me about it. *He pauses for a moment.* We all say things we don't mean when we're angry.
Laurenza: Yeah, I just want things to go back to the way the were...
Thorn: Yes, I know, I wish it too. But I think something between us as broken. I don't know quite how it happened, but our relationship is shattered and we have to repair it together.
Laurenza: *Goes to him and takes his hand.* I'd like to try.
Thorn: *Takes her other hand.* Me too.
Laurenza: ...If you could ever forgive me.
Thorn: I can, but you have to let go of your past.
Laurenza: That's the reason I came here, to say goodbye to Kuja…
Thorn: I should too, to get rid of my guilt.
Laurenza: Do you want to be alone with him?
Thorn: Nope, I'm done. There must not have been much guilt to get rid of.
Laurenza: *Laughs and kisses him.*
*The door Thorn came through comes crashing down, with Kitzie clinging on to it.*
Kitzie: Whoa! I wasn't listening in, honest!
Thorn: *Smiles.*
Kitzie: *Looks at Thorn, then at Laurenza, and then Thorn again.* Hey, are you guys married?
Thorn: You could say that…
Kitzie: Ooh, Thorny's got a pretty girlfriend! What's your name?
Laurenza: *Smiles.* Laurenza.
Kitzie: Hi, I'm Kitzie! I like animals, going outside and colouring in.
Laurenza: That's nice. *Pats her on the head.* Hmm, I should get back…
Thorn: Yes, I should be heading home too. Kitzie, do you have somewhere to go?
Kitzie: Where do you guys live?
Thorn: Why do you want to know?
Kitzie: 'Cos I wanna know.
Laurenza: Well, we live in a big castle in a far away land.
Thorn: Yeah, I know it sounds like a fairy tale.
Kitzie: Oooh, a castle! I wanna see!
Thorn: *Turns to Laurenza.* What do you think?
Laurenza: We can't just take her with us. Doesn't that kind of make you think 'kidnapping?' What if her mother gets worried?
Kitzie: Mamma won't notice that I've gone. I have 15 brothers and sisters.
Thorn: That must be hard...
Kitzie: I spend most of my time here. It's my fairy tale castle.
Thorn: Well, maybe you should just go home...
Kitzie: I don't wanna! I wanna go with you guys and see your castle!
Laurenza: You shouldn't just wander off with a bunch of strangers.
Thorn: No, that's not for you or us to decide. Look Kitzie, if you really want to come along, you should get your mother's permission.
Kitzie: I'll go ask. *Runs off like a jet.*
Laurenza: *Sighs.*
Thorn: Hmm...
Laurenza: I guess she's all right, but is it a good idea that she comes with us? I mean she's only seven or eight years old.
Thorn: We can take care of her.
Laurenza: That's very kind of you to say.
Thorn: Thanks. I can destroy worlds, slay Demons and look after eight-year-olds. Maybe I should start a new business.
Laurenza: *Laughs.*
Thorn: Knew I could get a laugh.
Laurenza: You always make me laugh. That's one of the reasons I fell for you.
Thorn: *Smiles.*
Kitzie: *Comes running back real fast.* Hiya guys!
Thorn: Yes, Kitzie...
Kitzie: Mamma said: 'I don't give a damn if you want to go off with some weirdos and get yourself killed.'
Thorn: Yes, because sometimes I do like to kill people. *Receives a blank stare from the others.* Okay, the sarcasm needs work.
Kitzie: *Jumps at Thorn and gives him a big hug.*
Thorn: Err, yes… Please get off, Kitzie.
Kitzie: But I wanna give you a hug, Thorny.
Thorn: Okay…
Laurenza: Aw, that's cute… in a creepy way.
Thorn: *Lifts her off gently with Telekinesis.*
Kitzie: Whee! I'm flying! *Lands safely on the floor.*
Thorn: We should make our way back...
Laurenza: True, I'll take Kitzie. *Folds her wings around herself and Kitzie and they teleport away in a flurry of feathers.*
Thorn: *Follows.*

*As Thorn is teleporting into Dalimoor there is a flash of light and he is knocked backwards. The sight of Dalimoor disappears and he is surrounded by nothing but a black emptiness.*
Thorn: That's not good...
*The sound of Kitzie's voice can be heard echoing from somewhere.*
Kitzie: Thorny? Thorny!
Thorn: Kitzie?
Kitzie: Thorny, where are you?
Thorn: That's what I would like to know...
Kitzie: Thorny, I can't see you!
Thorn: Can you hear me, Kitzie?
Kitzie: Thorny?
Thorn: I guess not.
Kitzie: Are you hiding somewhere?
Thorn: More like something's hiding me…
Kitzie: Okay, if you can hear me, Renzy went off with these three weird people in white and they said something about not letting you come in... I don't understand.
Thorn: It's okay… Wait, you can't hear me.
Kitzie: Hmm… I'm going to find Renzy.
*Slowly, Dalimoor begins to appear around Thorn.*
Thorn: Ah, something's turning out nice for once.
Laurenza: *Appears in front of him.* Sorry about that. The Spirits are kind of annoyed about the whole you trying to destroy Dalimoor thing, so they tried to shut you out.
Thorn: *Stays silent for a moment.* Umm… Maybe I deserve it.
Laurenza: I don't think that you do, and anyway, I decide who comes into this world from now on. I'm the Oracle, after all.
Thorn: Oh well. Kitzie...
Laurenza: I'm not sure where she went.
Thorn: She said she went to find you. I don't know where she went after that.
Laurenza: Maybe she went up to the castle?
Thorn: Maybe.
Laurenza: I love being able to do this. *Teleports up to the castle.*
Thorn: *Stands by himself for a moment.* I tried to destroy Dalimoor…? *He shakes his head and teleports after Laurenza.*

*Back at the castle, Tifanel is stood in the Entrance Hall drinking a can of beer.*
Tifanel: Hey guys. Are you... *Cautiously.* ...back together again?
Thorn: Kind of... did you see a young cat girl-thing around anywhere?
Tifanel: Yeah, she's runnin' wild around the castle. Do we know a 'Renzy?'
Laurenza: We better go find her before she breaks something. *There is a distant crash and Laurenza winces.* Too late for that, then…
Thorn: I'll go find her.
*Thorn starts to look for Kitzie. He finds her upstairs in Laurenza's room, rummaging through a chest of drawers.*
Thorn: Ermm... Kitzie?
Kitzie: *Jumps out. She is wearing one of Laurenza's dresses and it is much, much too big for her.* Thorny! I thought you'd gone away.
Thorn: I'm back. Why are you wearing one of Laurenza's dresses?
Kitzie: It's pretty, huh? It makes me look pretty. *The dress trails on the ground and her arms are lost in the sleeves.*
Thorn: Yes... Did you ask her?
Kitzie: Um, no... But I couldn't find her. I would've if I could!
Thorn: Right. Well, I'll just leave you to it. *Goes downstairs and finds Tifanel is gone, so it is just Laurenza there.*
Laurenza: Find her?
Thorn: Yes, she, ermm... we'll just leave her.
Laurenza: Why?
Thorn: She's, ermm... nothing.
Laurenza: Come on, what's she doing?
Thorn: Well... if you saw her, you… err... might get angry.
Laurenza: Is she messing with my stuff?
Thorn: Kind of...
Laurenza: Just tell me what's she doing.
Thorn: Trying on your clothes.
Laurenza: *Laughs.* That's kind of sweet. They'd be much too big for her.
Thorn: Oh, I thought you'd be angry...
Laurenza: No, not really.
*Kitzie comes bounding down to them, still wearing the dress and now a tiara as well.*
Laurenza: Kitzie! That is my favourite dress and you've got it trailing all over the ground! And be please be careful with that tiara, it's very fragile!
Kitzie: I'm sorry... Don't yell at me! *Looks like she's going to cry.*
Thorn: Perhaps I should be leaving…
Laurenza: Thorn, don't you want to stay?
Thorn: Well, only if you want me too.
Laurenza: I do.
Thorn: Oh well, that's okay then...
Laurenza: *Nods, then turns to Kitzie.* Come on, silly thing, let's get you out of those clothes. *Picks her up and takes her up to her room.*
*Roreille, the Spirit, appears next to Thorn.*
Roreille: So she did let you in after all.
Thorn: *Turns to her as his eyes become dark again.* Yes, she did. Worried?
Roreille: Yes, as you are a threat to our world and everyone in it, we are more than a little worried that you are back in it again.
Thorn: Well, if I am a 'threat', then maybe you ought to show me a little more respect...
Roreille: You do not deserve our respect.
Thorn: I suppose we'll see. *Leaves her standing there and goes to find Tifanel.*

*Tifanel is stood in the kitchen, doing some washing up.*
Thorn: All alone?
Tifanel: Yup. I haven't seen Val or Arkun for a while. I reckon they did a runner.
Thorn: But you stayed?
Tifanel: *Quietly, sounding a little sad.* ...I have nowhere else to go.
Thorn: That's kind of sad...
Tifanel: I never had a family and I can never return to the place I called home.
Thorn: So, you're not going to try and find a new home? Don't I frighten you?
Tifanel: Nah, it doesn't bother me. People in my homeland feared me because of my powers, if that isn't so hard to believe.
Thorn: It isn't...
Tifanel: I'm gonna stick by you, Thorn, 'cos I know what it feels like when people desert you out of fear. I could've done with more friends back then.
Thorn: Well, don't look to the past. Always look to the future… you never know what great things are about to happen.
Tifanel: Yeah, maybe you're right.
*The sound of the castle door banging as it opens and closes is heard.*
Tifanel: Hmm? What was that?
Thorn: The castle door...
Tifanel: Did somebody come in or leave? I'm not sure which.
Thorn: We should find out...
*At that moment, a guy with scruffy blonde hair with a small plait on one side walks in. He is wearing a khaki-coloured jacket and a pair of goggles.*
Guy: So there are some people here after all... *Sees Tifanel and does a double-take.* Hang on a sec… Tif, is that you?
Tifanel: Oh... I don't believe it! I haven't seen you in such a long time! *He runs to him and gives him a high five, then they hug, slapping each other on the back in a friendly way.*
Guy: Oh man, I missed ya too, buddy.
Thorn: *Watches Tifanel and the other guy.* Who are you?
Guy: *Steps away from Tifanel.* Who are you?
Thorn: I asked first.
Guy: Well, since this is my house and you're a complete stranger to me, I reckon it'd be courteous if you answered first.
Thorn: Your house?!
Guy: Yeah, my house. So if you're not gonna be any help, I'll go find Laurenza. Nice to see you again, Tif. *Walks out.*
Thorn: Could you explain?
Tifanel: Li Rendemal… my best friend. Man, I thought I'd never see him again.
Thorn: Laurenza's brother...
Tifanel: Yeah, who did you think he was?
Thorn: Well, seeing as I've never met him, anybody!
Tifanel: Yeah, well. He was exiled by his parents when Laurenza was very young, but I guess he can come back now 'cos they're gone...
Thorn: They've been gone a while. He's come back for a reason.
Tifanel: You think so?
Thorn: And you don't?
Tifanel: Maybe we should go find out why he came back.
Thorn: Agreed.

*Thorn and Tifanel find Laurenza and Li are in Laurenza's room. They are sat on the bed, talking, and Kitzie sat on Laurenza's lap.*
Li: Hey Tif.
Laurenza: Thorn, I'd like you to meet my brother, Li.
Thorn: *Nods, a little grudgingly.*
Li: Yeah, hi.
Thorn: Hmm...
Tifanel: So, Li, what brings you back to this neck of the woods?
Li: Can't I come visit my old home and my sister once in a while?
Thorn: Yeah, sure, with a reason.
Li: Oh yeah, I guess being an exiled Prince makes me untrustworthy.
Thorn: Depends on what you were exiled for...
Laurenza: Leave him alone, Thorn.
Thorn: All right.
Li: So, as I was sayin', how exactly did our parents, uh, die?
Laurenza: I'm sorry, Li. I… don't really want to talk about it.
Li: Geez...
Thorn: Hardly a topic for cheerful conversation.
Li: Sorry, Thorn, but I'd like to know why my parents snuffed it, if that doesn't bother you.
Thorn: Yes, but Laurenza does not want to talk about it.
Li: Pfft, women…
Laurenza: *Sigh.*

*Later, Laurenza's room is empty. Li creeps into the room and starts rooting around in Laurenza's dresser. He obviously searching for something. He spots something small and black. Grinning, he takes it out and pockets it.*

*The next day, Laurenza is stood looking into the lake at the back of the castle, the one she was standing by once before. Kitzie is there too, making daisy chains.*
Laurenza: *Sighs.*
Kitzie: What's wrong, Renzy?
Laurenza: Mmm, nothing.
Kitzie: Tell me!
Laurenza: Oh, it's just I'm confused at the moment. I'm feeling a lot of things. I'm scared that Thorn might go away again, I'm worried that he doesn't love me, I'm angry at the things he's done and sad at what I've done. But I don't know why I'm telling you, as if you'd understand. You're only eight years old.
Kitzie: I act mature for my age!
Laurenza: I'm not sure what the future may hold and what made Li return here.
Kitzie: Why Li-Li go away before?
Laurenza: I don't know... my parents didn't tell me. Come to think of it, there are a lot of things they felt not necessary to tell me. It's so unfair. *Sighs again.* I'm sorry Kitzie, I keep thinking out loud. You don't need to hear any of this.
Kitzie: But I do understand big grown up problems! *Pouts.*
Thorn: Well, then you're in a minority. *He's standing at the other side of the lake.*
Laurenza: Thorn! did... did you hear what I said?
Thorn: Hear what?
Kitzie: Renzy's worried 'cos she thinks you don't love her.
Laurenza: Kitzie!
Thorn: Oh...
Laurenza: It's not like that, it's just... Oh, I don't know, things are difficult right now.
Thorn: I know. *Walks over the water to the other side.*
Kitzie: *Looks enthralled.* Teach me how to do that!
Thorn: I will later, but can you... go back up to the castle for a moment? I want to talk to Laurenza alone.
Kitzie: Hmph! *Grumbles some as she runs up to the castle.*
Thorn: Something returned to me a few hours ago. Do you remember what I said, when I told you the only thing I was ever taught to do was to destroy?
Laurenza: Yes.
Thorn: It was wrong. Ever since I first met you, I've learnt something else... how to love.
Laurenza: You mean it?
Thorn: With all my heart…with all my evil, darkness infested excuse for an organ. Whatever happened in the past doesn't matter. You know that I love you back?
Laurenza: Yes, I do. *Hugs him.*
Li: So you're more than just a loiterer who clutters up the castle, huh?
*Li has come up behind them.*
Laurenza: *Breaks away.* Li, he's my husband!
Li: Interesting choice...
Thorn: Shut up...
Li: Y'know, when I came here, I half expected to see that Kuja feller to be on your arm, Laurenza. I met him a year or so ago in a bar in Yochi. He said he was a friend of yours.
Laurenza: *Look at Thorn nervously.* Please don't mention Kuja...
Li: I say friends, but I figured you were a little more than that, as he was going to propose to ya. Did he pop the question in the end?
*Laurenza's eyes widen.*
Thorn: Leave her alone, now.
Li: Geez, aren't you guys a little testy today? *Walks off back to the castle.*
Thorn: Are you okay?
Laurenza: Kuja was going to propose to me...
Thorn: It's okay.
Laurenza: Why… why didn't he?
Thorn: It doesn't matter.
Laurenza: *Is quiet for a moment.* …You're right. And I'm sorry that my brother is such an asshole. We never really got on when we were younger.
Thorn: I can't be around him, Laurenza. Sooner or later he's gonna make me do something I'll regret. *Looks towards the castle.* Okay. Kitzie, me, water-walking lessons. *Goes to find her.*

*Kitzie is with Tifanel, combing his hair. Tifanel seems to be enjoying the attention.*
Kitzie: Pretty, pretty, pretty hair.
Tifanel: Hey Thorn. I seem to have gained a new hair stylist.
Thorn: You wanted me to teach you how to walk on water, Kitzie?
Kitzie: Yeah yeah! *Gives Tifanel back his comb.* I want you to wash your hair fifteen times a day and never use gel.
Tifanel: Heh heh, sure Kitzie.
Kitzie: Come on, Thorny.
Thorn: Okay.

*They go outside to the lake. Laurenza has returned inside.*
Kitzie: *Bouncing up and down with excitement.* Show me how you do it!
Thorn: Okay, first of all, you've got to know that everything came from the earth. The earth is the mother, and in turn it supports us, as a mother would. So you've got to imagine that the water is not only a friend, it is a mother or father, someone who can support us.
Kitzie: But my mamma didn't support me.
Thorn: Neither did mine. But the water will, just like the earth.
Kitzie: What was Thorny's mamma like?
Thorn: Blonde. Now concentrate, the water is your support, a parent. It will catch you if you fall, it will hold you...
*Kitzie, a little over-eager, runs at the lake and jumps... and falls in.*
Thorn: *Lifts her out.* You weren't concentrating.
Kitzie: Brr… cold! *Shakes off, spraying Thorn with water.*
Thorn: *Waves his hand in a circle.* Simeh! *A slight gust of wind blows them dry.*
Kitzie: I'll try again. *Closes her eyes and appears focused. She slowly walks to the edge and steps onto the water. She opens her eyes.* Did I do it? Waah! *Falls through the water.*
Thorn: You… You did it.
Kitzie: I don't like the falling in. *Looks miserable.*
Thorn: Umm… maybe we should leave it for today...
Kitzie: Okay… I'll go play with Tiffy.
Thorn: *Walks out a little onto the water.* Stupid...
Kitzie: I'm not stupid!
Thorn: Not you, me… thinking I could teach you how to do it properly. I'm no teacher...
Kitzie: It's not your fault; Nekos don't do well with water. I don't like water...
Thorn: Nekos?
Kitzie: My clan.
Thorn: What are they, exactly?
Kitzie: Umm, Anchan said we're Demons, but pasee-fists. We don't like fighting much. People of the forest, desert and plains, we look after the flowers and stuff.
Thorn: Sounds nice.
Kitzie: I have too many brothers and sisters. I don't like it.
Thorn: Well, I suppose it's better than being an only child.
Kitzie: But you'd be treated specially. I think mamma sometimes didn't think I existed.
Thorn: I guess. Come onto the water. I think you can do it. I know you can.
Kitzie: *Climbs on to the side and shakes herself off again. She looks up at him with sad eyes.* Do you like me, Thorny?
Thorn: You can be irritable, but… well, you're not that much of a pain, I'll admit...
Kitzie: That's… the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. *Runs to the water and steps onto it with confidence and walks forwards.*
Thorn: Amazing…
Kitzie: *Dances on the water for a moment before running back across to Thorn and giving him a big glompy hug.*
Thorn: Oh, err, yes...
Kitzie: Thanks Thorny! Thanks Thorny!
Thorn: It's okay. Just be careful when you're doing it in deep water, in case you can't swim.
Kitzie: Okies. *Lets go of him at last.*
Thorn: But I didn't think Demons could manipulate the elements so proficiently, especially just a child…
Kitzie: I'm smart!
Thorn: Yes, or maybe because you had a teacher helping you...
Kitzie: You learnded all on your own? Wow.
Thorn: I more amazed that you could do it, maybe you're hiding more power than I thought…
Kitzie: *Runs around chanting.* I'm smart! I'm powerful! I'm smart! I'm powerful!
Thorn: *To himself.* ...And a little hot-headed.
Kitzie: *Collapses in an exhausted heap.* I'm tired now.
Thorn: *Picks her up.* Let's take you back to the castle.
Kitzie: Whee. Thorny lift!

*When they reach the castle, they find that the door is slightly ajar and Laurenza and Li can be heard talking inside.*
Li: Are you really happy with life here? The way things are at the moment?
Laurenza: Yes I am.
Li: That annoying little cat brat told me what you said earlier on.
Laurenza: Li, I didn't mean--
Li: *Cuts her off.* Y'know, I've got a place where you could stay. You could come and be happy, away from all this crap…
Laurenza: I don't need your help, and anyway, I can't just up and leave!
Li: Can't you? Isn't that what he was gonna do?
Thorn: I had my reasons. *Steps inside.*
Li: Lack of responsibility? Lack of commitment?
Thorn: I wasn't in my right mind. I can't really conceive the feelings I must have had... But she brought me out of it.
Li: But for how long? *Darkly.* I know your type… hearts as black as yours ain't easily penetrated…
Thorn: Maybe not, but I know that I will only be evil when there's scum like you floating around.
Li: Think about Laurenza. If you ever need a where you can feel safe... look me up. *Leaves.*
Laurenza: He's up to something… Since when has he ever had a place to stay? He's always been on the run. I hate him.
Kitzie: Why is your brother such a meanie?
Laurenza: Maybe he's still a bit annoyed at being cast out of his homeland.
Thorn: Maybe. Anyway, Kitzie, do you want me to take you home?
Kitzie: I don't wanna go home.
Thorn: Well, let me just go and tell your mother were you are. I'm sure I'll be able to locate her.*Teleports away.*
*They wait for Thorn to return and he comes back a while later.*
Thorn: She says you can stay, as long as you stay for as long as possible and make sure you get something to eat.
