On the player, and maybe looking.

[the_original]

I suppose I should congratulate you on making it through another year of life; not all have that pleasure to be certain of.

Next, if I may say so; I'm bored. [He's looking pleasant though; for appearance purposes.]

If it's not too much trouble; I'd like to stretch my legs. I'll try to keep it light so I don't worry everyone because that would terrible for them all to panic, just for my sake.

If you are looking might I suggest Ink City?

[tree_puncher]

That's a lot of green you've got.

[It was the only think the Blocky man with his name "Steve?" floating above his head could think of when he looked at you...]

It looks interesting! I'll look at it in detail.

[the_original]

I suppose it goes with my eyes?

[Though really, he's not sure what to do or say to this odd looking person.]

Best of luck regardless of your choice.

[tree_puncher]

I guess it does...

Thank you so much~!

[the_original]

Well, it is the traditional robes of the Fon Master. It'd be rude not to wear it.

[tree_puncher]

Fon Master?

[Steve?'s not a clue what that is...]

[lady_of_daath]

My mun suggests the new dressing room that just popped up♥ She even promises to tag~♪

[the_original]

I suppose I should be honored by this.

What do you think?

[lady_of_daath]

Mm, I'd like to hold off on answering that question until such events pass.

[the_original]

Really? Why would you say that?

[lady_of_daath]

For reasons you'll obviously see later on.

[the_original]

Humor me, if you would. I'm curious.

[lady_of_daath]

Honestly everyone has different experiences, I can't guarentee they'll all be nice or perhaps all bad.

[the_original]

I'm sure I can weather it.

But, it makes me curious that you're not.

[lady_of_daath]

I'm alive though, aren't I~?

[the_original]

Very cute.

[lady_of_daath]

Well thank you♥ I find you to be enduring too~♪

[the_original]

You do enjoy your little games still I see.

Perhaps we can play a different one later.

[notgloomy]

Ion-sama; just worry about yourself okay?

[the_original]

...Arietta.

[Even in bad health, there's a bit of urgency in his steps as he comes closer. The one person that understood him, she's someone he's genuinely happy to see, and he delicately pats her head for her kindness.]

How thoughtful of you to worry. Tell me how you have been.

[notgloomy]

[Arietta bows her head slightly when he pats her head. It was so good to see him.]

It's been lonely without you..

[the_original]

Now I'm here again. You don't have to worry about me going anywhere, Arietta.

[He sighs softly and leads her back to where he was before; there's a chair and he rests upon it.]

Ah... Now what have you been up to? Surely not worrying over me this whole time I trust?

[notgloomy]

[Arietta nods before happily following Ion to stand beside his chair.. When asked the question, she blinks slowly before glancing down at the floor.]

Arietta always worries about Ion-sama. That's all that she needs.

[the_original]

Very good. Everyone else will deceive you, but I'll always be here.

[Yes, he's very content now that he's got someone to "have his back" as it were, and gazes ahead for a moment before turning his gaze to her.]

Tell me, are you in any of these "games", Arietta?

[notgloomy]

[She nods before continuing to stand next to Ion's chair. She's staring more at the ground than anything; but she will glance up each time Ion speaks.]

No.., not in a game yet.

[the_original]

Do you have plans or do you not approve of them?

[He meanwhile maintains his gaze on her the whole time, it's nice, knowing what he knows now.]

[notgloomy]

[See; this Arietta is before 'he' left and Anise became 'his' guardian. So she actually doesn't know much of anything.]

I don't approve.. Arietta wants to be with Ion-sama.

[the_original]

I'd like that very much. Can I count on you to stay close then?

[notgloomy]

[Stay by Ion? You can expect several nods to that.]

Of course, Ion-sama! I'll never leave your side.

[the_original]

Wonderful. I'd expect nothing less from you, Arietta.

[He leaned, patting her head once more before slopping back in the chair fully.]

We have to plan though....If I did join a game I'd hate to be caught uselessly off-guard.

[notgloomy]

[Arietta once again lowers her head slightly before getting patted; but than turns her full attention to Ion.]

Uselessly off-guard?

[the_original]

I am uninterested in being manipulated, ever again. Instead, I think it's time I ran my own life without any advisers. So we must be on guard to anyone that promises us anything.

[notgloomy]

[ Arietta doesn't have much of a clue of that he's talking about; but she'll agree anyways.]

Be on guard from someone who promises us something.
