Sort of game hunting

[flowerling]

It makes me so happy to remember everyone... I'm glad to share these memories with my friends.

Wherever I go next, I want to have memories to share. But will all my friends be there with me? I would be glad if they were.

Yes, I suppose having people you know can be helpful when adjusting to somewhere new. [ aka: he has Pascal in Somarium but you'll never see him admit to being happy about it, of course. ]

[flowerling]

Are you somewhere nice, Hubert?

[detonationbloom]

Well, I suppose that depends on how you would define "nice." The accommodations are adequate, and as of now, I've only encountered one 'monster problem,' though from my understanding that is not the norm.

The prospect of possibly having my dreams broadcasted is not something I enjoy, however. [ Though we might have a Richard next month c: ]

[flowerling]

Dreams...? What are dreams?

[detonationbloom]

O-oh? You've never had a dream before, Sophie? [ Well, she is a humanoid, maybe it's not in their programming... ]

A dream is something people experience when they sleep. The subconscious creates scenes and images as a way of keeping the mind active while the body rests. We don't always remember them, but it is likely that whenever we sleep, we dream. [ Adjusts glasses. ] That's only one of many theories, of course.

[flowerling]

[lets this process for a bit]

You know so many interesting things, Hubert.

[detonationbloom]

Well, of course. You can learn many things about the world if you simply take the time to read about it.

[flowerling]

The captain must read all the time.

[detonationbloom]

I sincerely doubt that. [ What kind of books would he even read? Dirty books. B| ]

[flowerling]

Is it hard to read?

[detonationbloom]

Uhm, no-- it's not that. The Captain simply strikes me as the kind of man who... learns from experience, I suppose.

[flowerling]

Like I am with all of you.

[detonationbloom]

...In a way, yes. [ well he'd never really thought of it like that... ] Just imagine how much you'll have learned by the time you're as old as the Captain.

[ Might as well make jabs at Malik while he can. ]

[flowerling]

That would be wonderful. [and totally doesn't get the jab at all]

[detonationbloom]

Yes, it... would be. [ orz yes, why did he think that would work? Oh right, because everything he tries, fails. ]

Though I'd much rather you didn't aspire to be like the Captain, Sophie.

[flowerling]

You mean like not growing a beard?

[detonationbloom]

You couldn't even if you tried! That isn't the problem here! [ Some things are just too silly to let go, eh, Hubert? ]

[flowerling]

You can't grow a beard either? [typical Sophie, continuing the silliness by being totally serious[

[detonationbloom]

I-I...!! [ H-hey he's a growing boy THAT'S A SORE SUBJECT, SOPHIE-- ] That's not what I meant!

this is too much fun for real

[flowerling]

Hmmm. Hubert and Asbel with beards....

it's perfect ilu

[detonationbloom]

D-don't go having any strange ideas! I have no interest in growing a beard! [ Mostly because he can't. This is all Malik's fault. Somehow. Definitely his fault. ]

ilu more

[flowerling]

That's good. We all like you the way you look now.

no ilu more /latches onto

[detonationbloom]

[ HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO COUNTER THAT? H-he was all set for flipping out and now he has to. Takes some breaths. And chill out. ]

Th-thank you, Sophie. That's... reassuring.

aww Hubert

[flowerling]

I remember when you were young. You looked nice then, too.

bringing up the past is just gonna make him blush forever

[detonationbloom]

Wh-what? This and then are two completely different situations--! [ Oh god, you had to bring it up, Sophie. ] I-I'm nothing like that anymore.

[flowerling]

Do you think I'll be different when I'm grown up? [can she even grow up?]

[detonationbloom]

I think... Time changes everyone. Even you. [ You know, she'll mature, that's one way of changing. Or she'll get all the eleth from Fodra and suddenly become an adult, that works too. ]

[flowerling]

[yep anything's possible in rpg world] Even Asbel?

[detonationbloom]

Yes, him as well. He's already changed considerably from who he was ten years ago.

[ Hell, he changed a lot between when he and Hubert were reunited, but Hubert tries not to think about that since he was such a huge jerk to his big bro then too. ]

[flowerling]

He wears white clothes now. I don't know why.

[detonationbloom]

That's not what I meant at all, but... [ Sophie what is he going to do with you... ] Perhaps he wanted to fit in more with the Royal Knights? Their colors involve some white, I believe.

[flowerling]

[she thinks about this, and nods] You're very smart, Hubert.

[detonationbloom]

I-it's really not that impressive. [ Always with the making him blush. ]

[flowerling]

Why is your face red?

[detonationbloom]

Um, well--- [ Ugh, he has to be honest with you, Sophie, it's just so hard. Where's Asbel when you need him? ] I'm simply not accustomed to being praised over something so trivial.

[flowerling]

So people's faces turn red when you praise them...

[detonationbloom]

When it's embarrassing, yes.

[flowerling]

Oh... I didn't mean to embarrass you.

[detonationbloom]

I-it's not your fault, you have no need to apologize. [ Hubert just blushes at everything. ]

[flowerling]

Okay. [luckily she's easily satisfied]

[detonationbloom]

Good. I think we've all learned something today. [ And that is, when Asbel isn't around to answer Sophie's questions, Hubert makes a fool out of himself. ]

[flowerling]

I enjoy learning things.

[detonationbloom]

That's very good. That way you're sure to learn even more as time passes.

[ Just like baby Hubert. ]

[flowerling]

I hope so.
