Cerberus does not look thrilled about being interrogated by that boy.

"Okay, how's this. I suggest nicknames, you pick the least awful. Beary, Kirby, Kerry, Kebsy...stop me when you find one you like."

"...why do I need a nickname?"

"'Cerberus' is kind of a mouthful. It wouldn't kill you to use something shorter."

"...fine."

"So, thoughts? Kirby, Kerry, Kebsy...any suggestions?"

"None of those."

"Berus, Kerbo, Keb?"

"...Kerbo's almost good."

"Kerbo, Kerso, Kero?"

"Kero's good."

"Cool. Now that I've actually done something helpful today, uh, can you tell me more about being a guardian? Why are you a guardian, how did you get the job?"

"I was made by Clow Reed himself to guard the seal of the cards."

"Who was Clow Reed himself?"

"The greatest sorcerer of all time, maker of the Clow Book and the Clow Cards."

Don't antagonize the bear.

Don't insult card Merlin.

"Why are there so many cards?"

The bear shrugs. "I don't know."

"Do you have any guesses to why The Windy card decided to scatter the others?"

"No, it's very unlike her..."

"What is she usually like?"

"Calm and collected and serious and kind and wise..."

"Maybe she had some kind of plan? She must know scattering the cards is dangerous."

"...cards don't really think in these terms."

"Why would they. Okay, how is Scott going to find cards? Does he just wait for chaos and destruction?"

"They don't start with the chaos and destruction right away, and now that he's the cardcaptor he'll be able to sense the cards eventually."
