"What do you mean?" Bear asked with a tone that seemed to grow vaguely
impatient.
"What is it you don't get?" replied a Wavemaster. "According to the facts, it's impossible for that girl, Aura, to be the real key." Golden ringlets cascaded down her back, and she wielded a staff with a glistening gem embedded in a relic-like shape that branched out like a pair of antlers; she was clad in an assortment of green shades.
Bear raised an eyebrow as he assessed the situation. "BT, that can't be confirmed yet. Mimiru told me that when Tsukasa touched her, he - er, she - was able to logout. Speaking of which, Subaru was finally able to mail in those adoption papers. It's almost official now."
BT merely rolled her eyes. Ever since Tsukasa logged out, all Bear ever talked about was "Subaru this" and "Tsukasa that". Of course, he had always taken an obvious interest in Tsukasa, but now that he had finally met her in real life, things had become worse. "It could be a coincidence," BT replied simply. "Perhaps the doctors who had taken Tsukasa into their care had found the cure at that very instant."
Bear almost laughed aloud. "What are the chances of that, BT? You were the one who told me that things that we cannot see are not necessarily unreal. However, that girl 'was' visible to Mimiru's eyes and Subaru's eyes - Tsukasa's as well."
"And you trust them? Do you really they are as reliable as you are lead to think?" BT was becoming cross - she never liked any of the three, especially Subaru. Subaru had taken away the attention of Crim, and now she was doing the exact same thing with Bear. It made BT absolutely disgusted, and everything about Subaru made her shake with fury. Subaru reeked of wannabe - at first, she held the position of the high-and-mighty lady of the Crimson Knights, then she wanted to call herself a regular player. And now, she had adopted Tsukasa into her family, despite the fact that Subaru was dying in the real world from cancer. Did she really expect to play as 'Princess' forever?
"I would trust those three with my life, here and outside The World," he retorted as-a-matter-of-factly. "My opinion will stay the same until proven wrong."
BT couldn't help but smile. "Y'know, sometimes you're too stubborn for your own good."
Suddenly, the 'mail' icon was beginning to flash vividly at the bottom right corner of Bear's screen. Hastily, he selected it, and scanned its contents.
BT observed the engrossed expression upon Bear's face. "What is it?"
"Mail from Crim," he replied absent-mindedly as he closed the window. He turned so that his back faced BT. "We'll have to continue this conversation later - we have an appointment right now."
"What kind of appointment? With who? Why do I have to go?" When she realized Bear wasn't going to answer, she sighed. "Do I need to save?"
Bear paused before he responded, "You can never be too safe."
"What is it you don't get?" replied a Wavemaster. "According to the facts, it's impossible for that girl, Aura, to be the real key."
