Sin: It is not often you ask to speak to me alone, Locke, not ever really. What is on your mind?
Locke: I am not accustomed to asking for this kind of thing... but I need to ask you a favor.
Sin: A favor? In regards to Vaieh?
Locke: No. In regards to Xerxes.
Sin: I see.
Locke: Argh.. I am not accustomed to asking favors from people. Xerxes has been acting very strange lately, and refuses to talk to me at all.
Locke: Since you are his close friend, I was vaguely hoping that perhaps you could get some idea of what was going on with him. I need for you to keep an eye on him for me.
Sin: I too have noticed this... and am also concerned about Xerxes.
Locke: Then you will accept this task for me and go with him back into the city to keep an eye on him? I ask you... because.... I find myself to trust you.
Sin: Under one condition...
Locke: Name your terms.
Sin: Keep an eye on my sister for me.
Locke: *laughs* Naturally... with pleasure.
A Little Later...
Vaieh: *fiddles with her brother's long hair, running it through her fingers* I am so glad that we have some time to spend with our friends. I am excited to go back to The Manor... I figured that we could just share a room.
Vaieh: Corina and Camilla look so well...
Sin: And Locke...
Vaieh: *blushes a little* Yes.. and Locke too.
Sin: I am doing a favor for him... I will not be returning to The Manor with you.
Vaieh: *looks surprised and disappointed* What?? Why??
Sin: Xerxes has been acting strangely... Locke has asked me to go with Xerxes into the city to keep an eye on him to try to figure out what's wrong. I have agreed to this.. I too am worried about Xerxes, and I know that you are in your heart as well.
Vaieh: *snuggles up next to her brother* I will miss you.
Sin: I have asked Locke to keep an eye on you for me. I know he will not fail me.
Vaieh: Please be careful and take care of Xerxes.
Sin: I shall.
