It has been quite a long time, hasn't it? It's wonderful to see you again too, milady mundane.

Now that we've met once more, may we work on finding somewhere for me to go? I know that you worry about my health very often, but I promise you that I am hardly as frail a person as I look. [even if the majority of that comes from sheer stubbornness winning out over his physical needs.] You have yet to steer me wrong--neither as a tactican nor as a writer.

[HA HA LUCIUS JUST WAIT.]

Wherever I can spread Elimine's light best is where I would like most to be, even if I am uncertain of these, er... these "games". Please think it over, milady?

Oh? What a surprise. It is a pleasure to see you again, Lucius, unexpected or no!

[thanks for that, Canas.]

My own miss mundane appears quite pleased as your sudden appearance, for what her opinion may be worth. As for these games...they are quite curious, are they not? I'm afraid I haven't been able to collect near enough data on them for a proper hypothesis at this time, though I can only imagine the possibility to explore them further must be invigorating! Going where only new knowledge lies, and all of that--

[stop rambling, Canas]

[jabbering]

[oh elimine it's the weird one I MEAN Canas and Lucius aren't much more than acquaintances, but any friendly member of the army is one Lucius doesn't mind seeing.]

And you as well, Canas. [an even smile. HE DOESNT ACTUALLY KNOW CANAS IS A BIG NERD LUCIUS RUN] Thank you for your kind welcome!

[no wait nvm. he's got the idea. he looks a little taken aback by the blathering, and waits V PATIENTLY for a break in them to speak--]

--ah, they cannot be as dangerous as our term with Lord Eliwood, then? Milady mundane thinks I haven't the strength of will for one. She worries for naught, I think.

[it's too late for you now. there is no escape

He's always admired light magic users, honestly, if only because of how different their magic is from his own (it's like night and day HA HA sorry). It's something he doesn't understand and can't quite grasp so of course he...wants to know more...

...but for now, there is an actual conversation oh right.]

Perhaps, perhaps not. I can't truly say with any confidence, as I've only been to one such game myself. It was quite fascinating and exhilarating to experience such different circumstances from our own--

[focus, canas]

Er, though it is truly kind for her to be concerned for you, surely your strength of will must be clear, from the traveling we have done with Lord Eliwood?

[jabbering]

[on Lucius' end, his curiosity is far more muted: arcane magic mustn't be as bad as it seems, if Canas is so polite. Right??? canas come to jesus i mean elimine]

Really? What sort of circumstances? [HE HASN'T LEARNED NOT TO ENCOURAGE CANAS. OOPS]

And yes. [he frowns.] I had thought that that much would have been clear to milady mundane... Perhaps this "canon review" she keeps mentioning will reassure her.

[YOU DID IT. YOU ENCOURAGED CANAS. NOW YOU'VE DONE IT.]

Ah, well, you see, the world I found myself exploring was considered a "dream world", with all that you would imagine that might entail--the town itself was even named Somni! It was quite quaint. [canas not everyone knows dead languages] There were quite the fascinating situations that unfolded, however. Why, once we were all attacked by reptilian creatures, quite large. They seemed akin to wyverns or even dragons, though likewise rather different. Perhaps a different species entirely... it was thoroughly enthralling! [that is not even the definition of enthralling, canas]

Thanks to Bartre's help, I was even able to study the inner organs of the creatures; they were indeed quite different from wyverns and dragons as we know them, both lacking in any flight apparatus as well as any capability for flame--but still such valuable species to study! Ah, if only there were another chance to return to see such creatures face-to-face once again.

[they almost ate you, canas]

[jabbering]

[WELL THAT WAS A LOT OF WORDS. um.]

Dragons and wyverns in a dream world... [more dragons is exactly what we need right] I'm glad that you had one of our own with you, at least, and that you are safe.

Are all of these 'games' this dangerous?

[scholastic]

[word words words words words

so sorry....]

I couldn't say--I've only been to the one myself. Though it seems as though they are, more oft than not. Perhaps it is due to a sense of adventure on behalf of our mundanes?

[ahahahaha it's not funny, canas]

I shall sincerely hope for your health and safety should you find yourself somewhere grim, Lucius.
