I left with a few others to search for Tsurumaru. Dimitri, Lili, and Ookurikara should be out here somewhere as well.

[ruffboi]

Okay. Listen -

[He glances at Taako, like he's trying to come to a conclusion, and then back at Flayn.]

This might be paranoid, but the place I was at, being awake on a Thursday night when everything shuts down is bad news. But I can protect us. So don't wander off anywhere, okay?

1/2

[fishingforcompliments]

...please not again...

[she mumbles that to herself in a very, very tiny voice]

2/2

[fishingforcompliments]

[she takes a deep breath, looking up]

It will... it will be fine. We will all look out for each other. No one is going to sneak up on us.

[ruffboi]

[Aww, Flayn. Giving her a small smile, even though he's in full not fucking around mode.]

It is going to be fine. I haven't met anyone here who can sneak up on me. Just do me a favor and keep an eye out.

[fishingforcompliments]

[She tries to smile back, but it just comes out looking tired.]

Yes. I will keep careful watch.

[no sleep!!!!




until midnight, that is.]

[ruffboi]

Good. That's gonna be a big help.

[Looking around, trying to see if any of the cabins are open.]

If you see someone, just shout their name or something. That way we don't look suspicious. Since. . .

[His axe.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[She looks at his axe, and then looks slowly away.

Suspicious. Right.]

Very well. I believe I am well-acquainted enough with everyone here to recognize anyone we may encounter by sight...

[ruffboi]

Yeah. I'm not using this thing unless I've got no choice, but that's not how it'd look to anyone else caught out. So I'm glad you're here!

[Not really! He planned to just protect Taako, but then got stuck out with a bunch of really nice kids.]

[fishingforcompliments]

Whomever we encounter, I will ensure that they understand that you are only here to help.

I promise!

[unfriendliest]

Why would we look suspicious, besides being awake on a Thursday?

[ weapons are just? normal? ]

[ruffboi]

Whoa! Didn't see you there!

[Don't sneak up!!!]

See, running around with a weapon on a Thursday makes it seem like you're planning to do a murder.

[overruns]

[ just. looks at the axe. ]

[ruffboi]

[Yes but this is to protect all of these sweet children.]

[unfriendliest]

I've done it before without killing anyone.

[ just sayin! ]

As long as we're in a group, it shouldn't be so bad.

[ruffboi]

[Nodding.]

Yeah! So, let's make sure we all stick together. And defend our sweet, squishy magic-using pals.

[unfriendliest]

[ ...? ]

We all have magic.

[ruffboi]

What? No, nobody has magic, 'cause you guys are all nerfed. But I never have magic, and that's what makes me the ideal fighter in these situations.

[unfriendliest]

I didn't have magic before the village, either, or when we came here. But they gave us new magic. You must have gotten something, too.

...I don't need that to fight, though. Just my sword.

[ruffboi]

Oh. That. Well, you're not supposed to tell me about it, brain genius, but it's also dumb and doesn't count.

[unfriendliest]

We all know they're there. What difference does it make? It's not like I'm telling you what mine can do.

[ruffboi]

Fine, fine. Well, whatever, it doesn't count, 'cause I don't have any plans to fire mine off.

When I say we protect our magic users, I mean our flimsy healers and our glass cannons. You get it? You should know this by now!

[unfriendliest]

Why would anyone make a cannon out of glass?
