Yeah, I was with the artist around the statues. Did he already tell ya about 'em?

[unsaid]

In brief... Though would you be willing to tell me more from your point of view?

[battling]

We heard some buzzing, went to check it out, the statues moved. Every time we blinked they came closer, and then we got swarmed by 'em and passed out.

[unsaid]

... all of the statues moved?

[looking thoughtful]

How are you feeling?

[battling]

Dunno about the artist, but I only saw one move towards me.

[He shrugs]

A little itchy, but it's fine.

[unsaid]

May I ask which statue?

[he nods at that...]

And more so... did you happen to encounter anything that may be reminiscent of the departed?

[battling]

Riku. [does he even know who this is... help]

I heard screamin' but it was a mix of people dead 'n alive.

[unsaid]

... a statue of someone important to you, then.

[hilariously he doesn't despite his own fellow npc being roxas but jiji still found out what he wanted to know,]

... and you are only feeling itchy? Are you certain you're feeling alright?

[battling]

Yeah.

[that is his son (he decided).]

I'm not forgettin' anything or still hearin' screaming.

[unsaid]

Mm... So you have recovered already? I suppose that one with your years has also endured an oddity or two.

Then I shall not press further on the matter of your constitution. But I am relieved to hear that you are alright.

[battling]

Ain't the worst scar I've goteen.

Ya might want to check on the artist. He's still young.

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha, I have made the attempt to do so - but the young always feel the need to prove their strength in certain ways.

Would it be too bold a question to ask on the worst scar you have gotten?

[battling]

Heh. It's fun to watch 'em sometimes. They'll figure themselves out.

One of the ones I got when somebody tried to kill me. [He gestures at the general area of his chest.]

[unsaid]

[tilting his head, curious]

Oya? What did you do to offend someone so?

[ . . . ]

Though I suppose people have attempted to commit murder for smaller reasons...

[battling]

[ Stares blankly because that's a weird question. ]

That's just normal shit back home.

[unsaid]

[ . . . he laughs]

My, now that does sound familiar. Though I imagine you might startle a human with such a dismissive statement...

[battling]

Ain't danger just normal, wherever ya are?

[unsaid]

Not for all.

Some come from fairly peaceful places, where they can solve disputes with words and contracts. For some worlds... that is their progression of time.

[battling]

Hard imaginin' somewhere like that.

[Contracts especially... but then wizards are fussier about those than humans.]

[unsaid]

... when one is accustomed to war and conflict, it certainly feels like it.

Do you think you would enjoy that type of society?

[battling]

Nah. I know how to live with danger, I dunno how to deal with peace. I'll get restless.

[unsaid]

[ . . . with some measure of softness - ]

You sounds like some of my comrades.

[battling]

Yeah? What're they like?
