[Naminé reaches out to pet the same chocobo, marveling at the warmth of its feathers. It's a good point to focus on, when he drops the bomb about already knowing about Castle Oblivion. She turns, and of the two expressions warring over her face, relief wins out over bewilderment. His choice, back then-- though it had been hard for her to come to terms with, objectively she knew it was the right one, and a lot of the things she'd accepted about herself with were bound into the effort she'd committed to fixing him. She would never, ever want to ruin any of his memories ever again, especially over a throw away comment, so him knowing...it's like a quiet declaration: that part of their lives together is okay between them now. She didn't even realize she needed that until he says that he's okay.]

I'm glad you were able to meet them. And I'm so glad everything worked out. I could only assume, when I finished, that everything was okay.

[It's not like DiZ gave her a lot of time to double check before she had to run away from him.

The tidbits about where he was before are as equally compelling as everything else, and makes her wonder what, exactly, is powerful enough to be able to change an entire group of people's memories. It was tiring work for her in the past, when she'd changed Sora's memories on the spot in Castle Oblivion. Whatever force Sora had encountered before, and whatever force had brought them here-- it wasn't something to be dealt with lightly.]

Silly. [Her voice is gentle, the tease making the corners of her lips curve up a little. A long time ago, something like this would've been unthinkable, but now it seems natural.] But I don't blame you, memories are messy things.

[She finally stands up, very much in need of a stretch. Something about having a new heart must have changed her balance, because she needs to reach out and steady herself with their chocobo friend in the face of a wave of dizziness. Hm, maybe she should tell him about that.]

Luckily your memories are safe now! From me, at least. Since I...don't seem to have those powers anymore.
