on finding Rucks a game during all the Great LJ-DW Migration (canon: Bastion)

[thestranger]

Ain't my business to be messin' around with that mess, is it? Sounds to me like they need a person of action, not an old man good for little but telling old stories.

No, ought to be stickin' with my own repairs. You keep lookin' if it gives you such a rush of satisfaction, mind, I ain't here to be givin' commands. But I'm staying here 'til it's over. There ain't no other way for it.

o-oh my gods it's zulf. (ps: excuse the pb, i can't find any fanart of rucks)

Gonna give me an overblown sense of importance if you ain't careful. I'm difficult enough to live with already.

oh no it’s fine! breaks my heart that there’s hardly any for him out there.

I’m merely stating facts, as it were.

Though, it sounds as if you might not stay at the Bastion, regardless. I'll probably find myself in the same predicament eventually.

[thestranger]

I used to be an adventurin' soul, and the thought of such new opportunities would'a tickled me. Now I find myself leery of it all.

Caught up in our own problems, I hadn't realized how grim things're lookin' out there.

Understandable. They hardly seem inviting, these places, especially when we're being forced to go.

At most, they have a chance for a new start, I suppose. But even that's not absolute, I'm sure. [ He sighs. ]
