ㅤ ㅤㅤCity square? ㅤㅤ⌜ . . . That means being surrounded by tons of different people in this strange new realm. Widened eyes stare in the direction, shrunk and demotivated. ⌟ ㅤㅤO - on second thought — I'll visit another time. ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤI think you would adore Plannie, in that case. Have I ever introduced you? ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤ⌜ Tension in his shoulders begins to lax. ⌟ ㅤㅤ That's relieving to know. Maybe so can finally rest in this realm for a little while. ㅤㅤ. . . do you have a library around here? ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤ⌜ blink. blink. ⌟ ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤ⌜ Dusting him off wouldn't do any favors. He's immediately crouched back down with the cats, a content smile on his face. ⌟ ㅤㅤVery much so. ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤa ah -- that was a little vague, wasn't it? ㅤㅤi meant to ask, what makes you a hero? ive seen .. many self - proclaimed ones in my homeworld.

ㅤ ㅤㅤ⌜ Shaking his head. Motioning to be put back down. ⌟ ㅤㅤ. . . just the locals. I, ah - - i - it may have caught me off guard. But -- they're harmless. One gifted these groups of felines to calm me down. ✨ ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤwell . . . ㅤㅤ⌜ now that he's sat proper and given the chance to speak eye to eye, his curiosity has grown. ⌟ ㅤㅤwhat sort of hero are you? ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤ⌜ YOINK. Like lightweight to the Champion, he's picked up with ease. Relief shimmers in his eyes! ⌟ ㅤㅤIt's such a joy to see you here, My Lady! ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤnot many assume im capable of it. i was a knight once ,, moreso an alchemist. ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤ⌜ the tinges of uncertainty still place. the seeds of doubt are trickled ever so mildly ; but the act of kindness render them dormant a moment longer. ㅤㅤa steady raise of his head. through a curtain of platinum tresses, a marked face pales by. he stares at her hand . . . ⌟ +

ㅤ ㅤㅤ⌜ h hic ⌟ㅤi mmiss my psuedo daughters ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤy - yes. how could you tell from that alone? ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤ⌜ slumping a little with the blanket tossed over. no struggle now, it looked like, and once he settles down, the tremors cede. ㅤㅤ. . . huddling into it's warmth. distant eyes recover their color. ⌟ ㅤㅤ. . . are you an angel? ㅤㅤ⌜ lovely way to start a conversation. ⌟ ㅤ
