Possibly going to havenrpg. Possibly.

[expendablepride]

I know you're eager, but just let me lay this on the table, okay? I think you should reconsider your options. Think more on it. I mean, the game's not going anywhere, and neither am I. Or... anybody else you've got cooped up in here, for that matter. Yeah yeah, you've been looking to join Haven for a while, but don't jump the gun is all I'm saying.

Old Alvin knows how to look after himself, but do you? Think about it.

[A small content sigh followed by a grin.] I'm so deep.

OH MY GOD FUCKING XILLIA MUN I LOVE YOU HAVE MY BABIES

[not_that_scary]

Heh, Old Alvin is it? You seem pretty young for an old timer.

We're around, honest!

[expendablepride]

Well, people do say I'm wise beyond my years.

[Nobody says that.]

Err, Never mind. YAY, MILLA!

[not_that_scary]

And people tell me I'm a kind person.

[You're the only one who doesn't believe that.]

Judging from your weapon, I take it you're some kind of mercenary? Or is that just decoration?

lmao see? We're all just in hiding for the localisation to come out.

[expendablepride]

Hmm? Oh, this? [Hefting that sword up onto his shoulder.]

Got it in one, actually. Familiar with this sort of thing, huh?

Tales Studios just loves to take its sweet time, don't it? I'm already playing Xillia 2

[not_that_scary]

Fighting is one of those things I'm just good with. I use a lot of different weapons in battle, and judging by the way the hilt is shaped, I'd say that there's more to your weapon. Some sort of special feature, a hidden compartment, maybe?

We should be happy we're getting it at all, tbh. And sob, I need to finish ToX2.

[expendablepride]

[He's not sure if he ought to be impressed or wary. People tend to be curious about Alvin's strange weapon, but they never know right off the bat.]

Yep. A pistol slots in. [And he'll leave it at that.]

You know a lot about weapons. A born fighter, are we?

Re: We should be happy we're getting it at all, tbh. And sob, I need to finish ToX2.

[not_that_scary]

Would you believe me if I said I've only been doing this for a year or so?

[No, because no one in your series actually knows that you've done this stuff before.]

There's a certain thrill to it that I don't really get from doing other things. I had originally decided to get stronger in order to accomplish something, after a certain point, I kind of got wrapped up in the fun of it.

[and then you got de-leveled and everything went to shit :P]

[expendablepride]

[An impressed hum.]

I can see where you're coming from, but don't get too carried away. There's a difference between fighting for something and fighting for the hell of it...

...is what a real old-timer I know would say.

[magiartes]

I fail to see any hidden depth within your words. For your message is quite clear.

[expendablepride]

Aww, you're no fun, Lady Milla.

[magiartes]

I was not aware that was considered a form of "fun".

... and I am perfectly capable of the act.

[expendablepride]

Not sure I'm convinced if you have to call it an 'act', m'lady.

[magiartes]

I am well aware of the benefits of refreshing one's mind and body through recreation.

Of course I had little need of it, but the Four Spirits would insist.

[expendablepride]

[A thoughtful hum.]

Maybe they should have insisted more often, so you'd be a little less prickly to the touch.

[magiartes]

Say what you wish. Unlike a person such as yourself, who relies upon good grace to sell your services, I have no need of pleasantries to perform my duties.

[expendablepride]

That's probably because you've never felt the warm fuzzies you get when people thank you for all that hard work you did.

[There's a brief pause, and then he continues as though he'd forgotten something.]

And the people of Ni Akelia don't count, so don't even try.

Yippy, Milla Maxwell is in the house.

[not_that_scary]

Don't tell me you know this guy!

God-Five!

[magiartes]

I do. His name is Alvin, a mercenary by trade.

\o/

[not_that_scary]

['I could tell that much just from looking at him']

Are you a mercenary too? Or a client of his?

[magiartes]

Client. He was to teach me the art of swordsmanship.

His style is aggressive but ultimately effective.

Couldn't resist, sorry. Just ignore it if you want.

[expendablepride]

[Awww, such kind words, Lady Milla.]

[magiartes]

[It is important to give credit where it is due.]

[expendablepride]

[And he appreciates that.

He really does.]
