Mondo's expression hardens at the mention of Celes and he's quick to nod.]

Yeah. She'll probably be happy there.

[Which at least means that she won't get herself into trouble. He imagines she'll be incredibly fond of the Game Corner.]

What'll we do after that? I kinda want to go see some of the sights, y'know? I've heard good things about Blackthorn; it's pretty far away, but there are hot springs there!
