'Nia, Nia!' Like the crowing of a cucco in the morning. Tora's been a good friend in a weird time. We fought a robot army and a gigantic dragon together!" Linkle was ecstatic. She couldn't believe she had finally found somebody, and even more unbelievable was that it had been someone she hadn't been looking out for. Though Nia didn't seem particularly enthused about who Linkle had heard her name from. Linkle thought for a second that maybe she didn't like Tora, but soon the reality became apparent; she was far too worried about someone else. "You must mean Rex Rex." She said. The way she had denied her worry was super cute, as though she hadn't made her real feelings on the boy madly apparent. It added an unpleasant weight to the bad news she had to deliver. The guy she liked, out there all alone in a strange and hostile world? Or worse, in the company of not one but two other girls!? Was this Rex guy some sort of playboy Casanova type? Linkle was glad she had never had to worry about things like that. "I'm sorry. Other than you, Poppi, and this buff guy named Vandahm we haven't run into anyone Tora knew." She said sympathetically. "You shouldn't worry about it though! It's a long story, but Tora, Poppi, and me have been travelling all over the place with a bunch of other people and our group is only getting bigger every day. Now that I know what he looks like, I'll keep an eye out." She added another one to the mental list. "Speaking of eyes," she continued after taking a generous swallow of the Hot Cocoa Dromarch had placed in front of her. She looked over at Albedo as well, addressing this question to the room in general. Thinking about the list again had reminded her of the first thing penciled in right at the top. It was a long shot, but Nia had to have gotten adventurers in here all the time with her healing abilities and Albedo was, well, Albedo. "Has anyone here ever heard anything weird about an Eye? It's sort of one of the things we're looking all over the world for. It can see the future. The man who sent us on our journey says we need it." After a few more minutes of casual conversation over drinks, Linkle stood up. "Right. I'm gonna bring Treat's stuff inside if she's going to be staying here. Do you have a guest room, or do you want me setting her up in the living room?" After gaining an answer Linkle took a few minutes to step outside and bring in Treat's few meager possessions, starting with the snack pack and the Nuka-cola that she had stacked on top to keep from getting smushed by everything else. At least if the wolf girl lost her nerve and found somewhere else it wouldn't be that hard of a move. As she made her last trip out she took the spirit of the dollmaster out and, after picking up the last of Treat's things, crushed it in her hand hoping for something that one of her friends would like. Tossing the resulting item on the growing pile, she made her way back in and finished helping Treat get set up.
