perhaps vatheon shall be the place.

Your nerves betray your actions. Surely you are not one who is easily timorous. Rest assured, you shall do fine. Testing new waters shall bode you well, and perhaps I will learn more of this world from such experience. [ A slight pause. ]

After all, you are placing me in a foreign underwater terrain.

[ Verdigris hues become distant--they betray the emotion of nostalgia. She thinks of the Lake. ]

Do work on your studies. Education is of importance. I shall always be here should you ever require my presence, Mun.

[he lifts his hair up to where it should be, if he was 19 again] Imagining yourself with a wine cup and me either sitting huffily or flailing around in an undignified manner might help too.

[ a stark realization--! ] ... Iskandar's master? [ there is a hint of surprise. ]
You've... grown.

[gordianknots]

[he nods to confirm] I've also stopped falling on my ass for the most part. It's a marked improvement all around.

If I may ask then, when are you--?

[knightism]

[ she smiles. ] It is good to see that you have grown. It has been quite a while, has it not?

... Your query is a rather strange one, and I am not certain whether your implications are what I assume them to be. However, do know I still stand to that which I've stated many years ago. It shall not change.

[gordianknots]

Twenty years since the fourth war for me, actually. Which is why I have to ask when you are from - does the question make more sense now? Time moves strange on occasion.

[knightism]

... It appears I have misinterpreted your query. I apologize. I thank you for clearing it up--though as of now, I am not quite certain from when I am. I have memories of the fifth war, however. Does that help?

[gordianknots]

I was not speaking clearly and assumed meaning. It happens - and yes, that does help, although I suppose it also means I'm still further in the future from you.

Strange all the same, last I saw of you you were responsible for a grueling walk home.
