The second scale - [Video]

[With things being as they are as of late and "Violet" not really getting anywhere with the whole trying to work out who she is thing going on she's been doing her best to distract herselfs from the stresses and strains of farm life...namely raising mushrooms, trying to avoid another anxiety attack from Taako and definitely avoiding mineshafts for the time being.

Maybe it's time to reach out? Maybe address more people by making her face known around the valley. And as such she fiddles with her device and attempts to make herself known somehow.]

Uh Hi, hello... don't mind me!

I uhm...I've been in the valley for a few weeks now and still no luck in finding out anything about who I am or where I came from. So I was planting mushrooms as you do and a great thought came to me! What's the one thing all of us have to have in common...?

Families! We all must have come from families of some kind, right? So...[She adjusts herself and tucks one of her bangs behind her ear and coughs gently.] maybe, I thought--

I thought if you could tell me about your families that maybe... just maybe I might remember what mine's like.

[Normally Scrooge would normally ignore it, but ~~Saft~~ ~~Fionn~~ Violet has hit a sore spot of his.]

To be honest, I envy your position. Family's nothing but trouble.

[Tori could respond talking about her own family, but considering the circumstances, she feels like the actual response she's about to make is more important. More necessary.]

I think we've met before.

[Meanwhile, unaware of her past mother's contact to "Violet," Faith decides to send a message of her own.]

My family, huh? Well, here it's a little [awkward] complicated, but back home my family's really close to one another. [Well, not as of late, with all the secrecy that's suddenly sprung up, but she tries not to think about it.] We really love each other a whole lot.

[Even with the current amount of hush-hush going on, she's never once doubted that.]

Oh, and I'm the youngest of four siblings! My entire family's pretty protective of me, too...

[One thing about her weird family situation here that she sees as truly positive is that the past versions of her parents are less protective and coddling. Not that her parents back home are the most protective of her out of the whole family -- that's always been more her siblings -- but it can still come from a frustrating level from them at times, too.]

...You don't know anything about yourself? That's terrible...

I don't have much of a family of my own...but I've been living with a clan, which is similar in some ways...

[When the girl spoke into the video, she resembles Esther, a lady he knew as his best friend at home. It was almost an uncanny physical resemblance. Until he realized the pitch of her voice and hair color is different, he realized this girl is different.

Saft will a see a man wearing glasses and priest attire.]

Hello! Do you plant mushrooms? I bet they are good in soups and many other dishes!

Oh, families! Um...well. Haa, mine is a sad story. My elder brother died. I was the second brother of four siblings. Then my younger sister died, the third one. So right now, it was just me and my youngest sister back home. Ha, I'm getting older as I try to remember them, and as you can see, this old man has grey hair by now.

[Well, no. His hair is always silver. But still!]

Don't you remember your family? Siblings? My name is Abel. Abel Nightroad, by the way. I'm a priest. It's nice to meet you!

No memories of your family? That's a terrible shame... I would gladly tell you all that I know of mine.

[He can and will! The silver haired Elezen nearly fumbles with his device as he gets comfortable before eagerly chattering away.]

My House is one of the noble houses of Ishgard. House Fortemps! I have two half brothers. Though I think their feelings about me may vary from day to day as is their right. I am, after all, an illegitimate child of my fathers. Though I have no right to any fortune, favor, or rank I am still granted those things by my father. Which is more than most can say but I do believe it troubles them quite a bit.

And my own existence within the manor has always taken up issue with my step mother who has never been fond of me and I in turn of her...

Regardless! I care very deeply for my family and am happy to have served as a knight in their name. It's quite an honorable station and I am proud to fill it.

I could go on and on about each of my brothers and my father too. But I don't want to sound too long winded. I do sincerely hope that you recall your memories. Family is important... I certainly don't know what I'd ever have done without mine.

I don't mind talking about mine, but I have to ask first.

If this does end up somehow triggering a memory of yours, what will you do if it's something you might regret ever remembering in the first place? If your family doesn't turn out to be what you expected or hoped for -- would you still want to know?

You are right. We all come from families.

[She paused, would telling her about her family really help with something like this. But Flora, figured might as well give it a shot, right?]

Though, I am sorry you don't know anything about yourself right now. But if it does help, I have a younger sister who I adore as well as my mother and father.

[That requires a few beats of contemplative silence, sorting through words carefully.]

Do... you mean biological families? Or something... broader?
