「Memories. There don't seem to be any here. Perhaps there's something about it that blocked the view. Not like there is much to learn about them regardless. What is important is that they reached their goal. Although, YOU don't know what their goal is to being with. Not like you understand what is going on. 」

「You only here to join them on their happy journey. Perhaps you lack the communication to speak with them. Unfortunate, however, I could make that happen. I can allow you to speak to the vessel if it keeps them on track. 」

「There isn't much to do but when they see them, tell them to head toward the center of this world. The CORE. I may not tell you how to get there as there's limit but whatever you do, you must not let them get distracted. You'll have to make their decision once you get the opportunity to. 」

「Do not disappoint... 」

「The vessel stood there, in a pose, winking and pointing at a direction. They assumed that is one of the pose a cowboy would do. They then stopped as they sat down and felt embarrassed of doing that just to show his likeness for their nickname, "Lil' Cowboy". They pick up the cup again and stared at the dark orange liquid. 」

Windi: "T-that was really cute! You didn't have to do that. I understand you liked the name a lot. I can tell that it has some meanings like someone gave you that nickname before. I think it's a great one, Lil's Cowboy!" She giggled and picked up her drink as well, sipping it. "Remember to enjoy your drink. It's my homemade fruit cider!"

「They put the cup near their mouth and took a small sip from the cider, enjoying the intense sweet flavor of it. There were tangy orange and apple taste with a bit of sweet bitterness and spices such as cinnamon. 」

「The deliciousness of the cider made their face all happy and wanting more of it. They started to down the think even though it was quite hot. It provided warmth throughout their whole body, and soon, the cup became empty. It lingered warmth from what was once there. The hot cider. 」

Windi: "Slow down there, you might choke on the cider. It happened before. Not to me though but someone else." She chuckled and finished up hers as well before stacking the metal cups together. "You really liked them don't you. I'm glad. But to be honest with you, I made these using a recipe I got. Not really my original. At least I perfected it, and everyone loves them."

「She picked up the cups and head for the kitchen for a bit, putting them in the sink before heading back into the living room. 」

「Windi noticed that the vessel seemed a bit sleepy. Not sleepy due to low energy. They run on mana, but they do have a mana fatigue that affected their body. Their eyes half closed, staring and dozing off to the light of the lantern on the stump. They seem fixated until Windi clapped her hands to get their attention. 」

Windi: "Wake up a bit longer. I don't want you to sleep on the pillow on the ground. I know it doesn't affect me, but you probably have a different biology since you're the closest thing to a human." She went over to them and gently lifted them onto their feet. 

「The vessel startled from the clap, staring at Windi as they became wide awake, for a while at least. They noticed that she went over and picked them onto their feet before slowly guiding them toward the bed in the corner of this living room. 」
