Melanie's eyes showed her relief, still stifled somewhat with concern, but at the very least reassured that there wasn't some horrible, twisted backstory of Umi's or Wendy's that Tom somehow knew about and that they should take caution around the duo. "I get where you're coming from, and it's good that you're worried. Sometimes, I forget to look ahead. I get everybody into some kind of trouble, and never stop to think about what's what. No matter how many times the group nearly gets split up for good, I just can't get a grip and realize that things are serious down here. But this labyrinth is fun Tom, it really is. More fun than I've ever had, or so I've been thinking. This place is..." she struggled for a moment for the words, not wanting to piss the great labyrinth god off any more than she already had. "This place is rough too. It's dangerous and scary, but no matter where we end up, we manage to make new friends and families to make up for the ones we've never had. I'm not just beating myself up here, I'm learning. The labyrinth is no playground, and a group of five or four is a worrying thing. I guess what I'm getting at is... we'll have to stick together. Thank you, genuinely for giving me the insight to help us all stay intact. We'll have to work and train and trust one another. Realize eachother's shortcomings too, and help them for their faults. That's no walk in the park either, but if there's a chance it'll keep the family so that we stay a family, I'm willing to try."
