[Route 29] Video - New Bark Town

[dreamsofahero]

*here, have an image of a young man with long, silver hair and an outfit that's most definitely not suited to any kind of journey appear on the screen*

Ah, hello. I'm afraid I'm not quite sure how I came to be here- wherever "here" is- but if there's anything anyone could tell me, I'd certainly be glad to hear it. In particular, if anyone could direct me to the nearest place I could acquire more than just one change of clothes. Not that I don't appreciate being given one, but...

*doesn't bother elaborating beyond that; his ridiculously long, silken robes probably speak for themselves just fine. seems about to leave it at that, when something seems to prod him and there's a soft but stern "absol!" from just out of sight of the screen*

Ah, yes, something rather warmer would probably be for the best, as well.

*the following "...sol." possibly sounds less than satisfied, but by then Sion's already turning off the broadcast*

*because ^_^*

So soon? Surely there must be time for a visit first...

[toneless]

[NO.]

It would be rude for us to disrupt your bonding time with your newfound ward.

[dreamsofahero]

Oh, you needn't worry, I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other on the way to the city you're currently residing in...

[toneless]

[Imminent doom. Imminent doom.]

Is that so? Then you should take care to stop and enjoy the scenery.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, but since you'd mentioned my tardiness, I couldn't possibly keep you waiting even longer...

[toneless]

... I didn't say anything about that. You merely misheard.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, is that so...

[toneless]

[She nods firmly.]

You should consider seeing a doctor about that.

[dreamsofahero]

Well, if my very health is at stake, I ought to minimize the time I spend traveling alone and join the two of you as soon as possible, just in case...

[toneless]

[... Yeah, she's not going to win this one.]

... Bring dango.

[dreamsofahero]

*:3*

Do they even have dango here...?

[toneless]

[:|]

Of course! My body can't survive without dango, after all.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, I suppose that's true enough.

Though how long have you been here?

[toneless]

About five months. As I said, you're late.

[dreamsofahero]

And Ryner's been here even longer... I take it the two of you have been managing well enough?

[toneless]

[... Oh.

Well now that Ryner's been brought up—]

S-Sion, you cruel man... how could you assign me to guard a deviant like him?

[dreamsofahero]

*raising an eyebrow*

Are you saying it's more than you can handle?

[toneless]

[sobbu sobbu]

I simply don't know how to deal with him anymore! The poor women of this continent...

[dreamsofahero]

Oh my, whatever has he done?

[toneless]

The usual. Perhaps it would be best to put him back in prison.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, but then how would I get him to assist me with all the paperwork...

[toneless]

Hmph. Of course that would be your concern, as a diabolical tyrant with no respect for the rights of labourers.

[dreamsofahero]

I would think you of all people would appreciate my making such a fiend into a productive member of society.

[toneless]

[Damn you, Sion.]

... I suppose that is one benefit of your tyranny.

[dreamsofahero]

*:3*

Oh? I'm glad that you think so, Ferris.
