On the mun considering maskormenace

[chaossword]

Things might finally be settled with the Ten Wise Men and Expel resurrected, but that doesn't give you the right to decide where I go next. In case you've forgotten, I go where I want.

Besides, I don't really think another world full of superheroes is the place for me—for one, I've already had about all I can stomach of "hero" this and "hero" that, and for another...I was looking forward to visiting Arlia again. It's been a while.

So you can forget it.

Find somebody else to make your toy.

[ Did someone say hero? ]

Well... from experience I'm just going to say that sometimes they don't like to listen to and put you places you don't want to be anyway. Just a heads up, really.

[chaossword]

Hmph.

[That's really encouraging, Claude. Thanks.]

So, what you're saying is that the situation isn't a whole lot different from what we're used to. Handling this should be a piece of cake, then.

[Only...his method of handling things isn't as diplomatic as Claude's. Oops.]

[brighthero]

[ Hey, he thought it could help Dias more if he was straight-forward, although that didn't seem to work. Does he still get a 'you tried' star? ]

I think this might be much more difficult than the other situations we've been through. Speaking of which, when you say 'a piece of cake' you aren't thinking of trying to literally fight your way out of this, are you?

[chaossword]

[More Rena's territory. How about a vaguely tolerant, somewhat appreciative expression instead?]

Why not? My mun has a sword, but she's just an amateur. She's worse than even you were when we first met.

[brighthero]

[ That works just as well! ]

... That sounds like a backwards compliment.

Anyway, yeah there's that, then there's the power they can have over us. You never know, one second you can be about to draw your sword from the sheath and then instead of fighting your mun somehow they've changed the situation to something else entirely.

[chaossword]

Speaking from experience again?

[brighthero]

... Maybe.

[ As in yes. Dammit. ]

You really wouldn't want your sword to suddenly be switched with flowers or something, right? Not that I'm saying it happened to me.

[chaossword]

Hmph.

[Does that answer your question?

Though, let's face it, flowers would be better than bunny shoes again, regardless of their perks.]

So you're telling me to give up without a fight? Not going to happen.

apologies! something came up

[brighthero]

[ Certainly, since sword being switched to bunny shoes convey a funnier image than it being just sudden flowers. ]

Well... don't say I didn't warn you. Although, I think also in that case I might want to see how this all goes down.

no worries

[chaossword]

I don't need warnings.

[Some things never change, huh?]

Hey, you aren't actually considering going willingly to someplace like that, are you?

[brighthero]

Sure, sure.

[ Not in the slightest. ]

...Well, why not? Besides, letting a friend go alone doesn't sit too well with me.

[chaossword]

It wouldn't be the first time I've been on my own, Claude. It probably won't be the last time, either.

Besides...if you're there, who's going to look after Rena?

[brighthero]

Well...

[ He's about to mention something, but seems to think better of it. ]

Anyway, while we're talking about this, has your mun given any sort of hints that she might have given in?

[chaossword]

[He makes a sort of...face.]

She's fickle. And rather stuck between myself and another swordsman, so it seems. Would you believe it? Reviewed the entirety of his canon in three days, but at the same time, can't seem to unstick her nose from ours.

Talk about a bother.

[Sigh.]

It's not like she can't haul us both to that place, though. In fact, I'm pretty sure she's considering it...but it'd have to be one at a time.

[brighthero]

In three whole days? That sounds like kind of a feat in of itself.

On the other hand though, maybe she'll allow you to do whatever for awhile since she's considering two now. A re-visit to Arlia doesn't seem too out of the question now.

[chaossword]

For someone without other priorities, maybe.

[He shrugs.]

As for Arlia, it's not likely I'll be seeing that place for a while, not that it wouldn't be nice. [He wouldn't mind visiting Cecille's grave, for one.] But she's just finished with Linga and is about to take the party over to the Hoffman Ruins. Pretty excited to have Leon along, even briefly, too...so Krosse Continent is probably out of the question.
