"Were you one of the cards that was hiding, somehow?"

"No, I am Cerberus," pronounced 'Kerberos,' "the guardian beast of the seal of the Clow Cards." As he explains this, the Clow Book stands up behind him of its own accord.

"Some guardian you are. They all blew away."

"We still have The Song and The Windy."

"Blew... away...?" He turns around slowly to look at the hole inside the book, where only the two mentioned cards can be seen. "What?! Where are they?!?! How did this happen?!?!?!"

"First I called on The Big, then The Song, and then I called on The Windy. The Windy blew everything else away, except for The Song."

"What do you mean, blew everything else away?" He looks around, apparently looking for blown away cards. "Where are they?"

"Who knows. Anywhere in the world."

"Is there any way to use The Song and The Windy to find them?"

Cerberus... calms down, a bit, seeing Scott's taking this seriously. "Yes and no. Windy's one of the most powerful cards, and can be used to defeat and entrap many others."

"Why is this his job? If you're a guardian you should have been better at it!"

"...I kinda fell asleep."

"It's okay, we'll get them back. Cerberus, you said Windy can help catch the other cards, but when I said its name it just sent them all away. How do I stop that from happening again? Can I talk to Windy, like I did with Song?"

"Scott, it's pronounced 'Kerberos', not 'Kerberus'. That's kind of a mouthful, though. How do you like Kirby?"

"It's Cerberus not Kirby," he complains, then looks at Scott. "Windy doesn't speak, but you can talk to her. It's... weird that she did that in the first place. It's not like her."

"So they do have personalities. What's Song like? We met, but not for very long."

"Alright, Kirby."

The bear glares at Stiles, which expression is somewhere between 'hilarious' and 'adorable,' and pointedly looks at Scott again. "She's sweet and nice and quiet and likes music."

"Is that it? Kind of boring, what's Windy like?"

"Cerberus, why did Song sing when I called her name?"

Cerberus is studiously ignoring Stiles.

"Because that's what she does."

"Yeah, that's what she told me. Are the cards people?"

Stiles reaches past Scott to grab the book.

The book drops flat on its back just as Stiles is doing that, falling just out of his reach.

"What do you mean?"

"Do they want things, have opinions and personalities, do they feel pain, do they know what's happening to them?"
