[Ira? That's his name now? A small smile rises to her lips unbidden, both at her quiet joy at learning his name, and at Lin's enthusiasm.]

Ira was kind to me, so I never thought he was rude. It's nice to meet you, Lin.

[She extends a hand for the Moogle to shake, though she's looking at him instead, directing that tiny smile his way.]

Still...you've changed. In a good way.

[Maybe one day, he'll tell her about it, but for now she's okay with knowing he took a step away from Riku's shadow.]
