**Fiora: *[What is it, Riki?]***

**Riki:** Fiora? Please tell Riki. What is behind Mechonis?

**Fiora:** Behind Mechonis? I don’t know... Just the sea and the sky, I guess. At least that’s what I've been told.

**Riki:** Maybe Fiora right...

**Fiora:** Something wrong, Riki?

**Riki:** Heropon Riki want to travel round whole world after fighting finish!

**Fiora: *[You do? Wow!]*** That's an amazing idea, Riki! I bet Shulk and Reyn are planning to just sit around doing nothing. And Shulk needs to get his act together in more ways than one...

**Riki:** Riki amazing? Yes, Riki amazing! Shulk and Reyn are Riki's friends, but Riki cleverest of all!

**Fiora:** If you like! Hmm... I wonder if there’s really anything out there to discover... If there is, it would be nice to see it... one day.

**Riki:** Not one day! Sooner! Soon day! Fiora should be more excited!

**Fiora:** I'm excited, Riki. It’s just... will we really ever find anywhere else? If we do, will it be like this place? Or will it be free of fighting and squabbling? Imagine a place where everyone could live in peace and harmony...

**Riki:** Not need new place for that, Fiora! Make Bionis into peaceful world. That is Riki and friends' duty!

**Fiora:** Good point, Riki! You’re completely right! Why didn't I think of that before? You've really opened my eyes!

**Riki:** Opening eye no problem for Heropon Riki! Friends make world better place together!

**Fiora:** I can't wait! Lead the way, O Heropon. We’ll all be right behind you.

**Riki:** Fiora? Please tell Riki. What is behind Mechonis?

**Fiora:** Behind Mechonis? I don’t know... Just the sea and the sky, I guess. At least that’s what I’ve been told.

**Riki:** Maybe Fiora right...

**Fiora:** Something wrong, Riki?

**Riki:** Heropon Riki want to travel round whole world after fighting finish!

**Fiora: *[Why bother?]*** You’ll be a wrinkled old geezer before you find anything.

**Riki:** Riki not old yet! Not grumble enough!

**Fiora:** Listen... I spoke to a Machina navigator once. He said that even if you travel at the speed of light for 100 years... You won’t find a speck of land.

**Riki:** But Riki can’t fly at speed of light. That not fair!

**Fiora:** And you probably won’t live to be 100 years old. But I guess since I’m half Machina, I'll outlive you all.

**Riki:** That not fair either, Fiora! Fiora get back other half of Hom Hom body!

**Fiora:** That’s my dream, Riki.

**Riki:** Fiora not give up dream! Machina medicine people give back body to Fiora if Fiora ask! Then Fiora let Riki go travel!

**Fiora:** In that case, it’s settled! Heropon Riki becomes Pilgripon! No? No good? Forget I said it...

## Net 0 (-4, +4)

**Fiora: *[Will I be able to answer this?]*** I want to be prepared in case it's a really difficult one.

**Riki:** Maybe Riki not ask question.

**Fiora:** That could be for the best. I might look like a Machina, but I'm not like Miqol or Linada. I don't have their wisdom.

**Riki:** Machine people different! Riki and Fiora not born thousands of years ago! Old people always know more.

**Fiora:** I guess you’re right, Riki. How old do you think they are, anyway?

**Riki:** Miqol six thousand years old! Linada not tell age to Riki.

**Fiora:** Teehee! Now, Riki... You know you're not to ask a lady her age.

**Riki:** Fiora like Machina now. How long will Fiora live?

**Fiora: *[Forever and ever.]*** Maybe with this body I can live for thousands of years too.

**Riki:** Wooow! One thousand years is... one with three zeros at the end!

**Fiora:** I think I might get a little lonely. Everyone will have died. Dunban, you, the others... And then there’s Shulk...

**Riki:** Ah! Riki know Fiora thinking about Shulk just now!

**Fiora: Wh-what are you talking about?**

**Riki:** Tut tut tut! Riki know truth. But Fiora wrong to choose Shulk and not Heropon Riki. Riki best!

**Fiora:** Oh Riki, that’s sweet. But what were you going to ask me about?

**Riki:** Mmm... Riki think, Riki think... Riki forget!

**Fiora:** You're a funny one, Riki. I guess it wasn't that important. But you made me smile, so thank you, Riki.

**Riki:** Why Fiora say thank you? Riki do something nice? Riki like Fiora’s happy face so no complaining from Riki!

**Fiora: *[I don't really know.]*** This body is half Homs after all... And...

**Riki:** What wrong, Fiora?

**Fiora:** Nothing, Riki. It’s nothing. I'm OK being like this. I don’t need to live forever. And I wouldn't want to outlive all my friends. I'd be very lonely.

**Riki:** Fiora? Fiora sad about machine body? If machine body do bad things, remember tell Riki.

**Fiora:** That’s sweet, Riki. Thank you. I’ll remember. What did you want to ask me? Did something happen?

**Riki:** Mmm... Riki thinking... Riki worry about Fiora so Riki forget question!

**Fiora:** Teehee. Oh, never mind, Riki. Let me know if it comes back to you, OK?
