Ah, to be noticed by such a fine young lady as yourself because you felt bad for this old geezer, I honestly couldn't be more touched. While most mundanes prefer younger and more energetic young folk, I appreciate that you have taken the time to consider someone such as myself. I suppose no one really wants an old geezer in their line up of muses, but I suppose that's their loss.

Now, would you be so kind to find this old man a home, or shall I wander for a bit until you feel more prepared? I would simply be honored to stay in your presence regardless of your choice.

Rowen. There is something I must speak with you about.

[theconductor]

Ah, and what would the king of Rieze Maxia need with someone such as myself?

[outway]

I must apologize. Until recently, I had always thought your complaints about your age were unjustified.

No, if anything, I thought you were using your old age to your advantage. To create a special appeal for yourself. But... I've come to realize I was being naive. Something has happened that has opened my eyes.

Yo, looking for a home? Recent activity seems to indicate that your fellow Xillia castmates are heading to Holly Heights. They've already got Jude, Milla, Alvin, and Elize, they're just missing you and Leia at this point.

Gaius is around here somewhere as well, along with Wingul and Agria.

You were too slow, former hero. But do not blame yourself for your defeat...

Consider this simply the result of a "generation gap"! The free run system has become much faster than it used to be.

[theconductor]

Is that so? While I believe that they care capable of taking care of themselves, I feel that perhaps they would need to be monitored. Consider that destination put on our list of places to look into. We thank you for your suggestion.

YES!

[scornedsacredflame]

It's no trouble at all, I'm just happy to lead you to your friends.

I've actually talked with Milla before. We discussed how the World of Rieze Maxia differed from that of my world of Auldrant. She's very intelligent, though I'm not sure how she'd handle being in a... domestic position like she'd be in at Holly Heights.

[hellfryer]

Maybe the little lady feels comforted by having a grandpa-type around to keep all those other young whippersnappers in line.

[And he means that in the nicest possible way, of course.]

[theconductor]

I wouldn't mind taking the reigns here. I'm most certainly the oldest muse by far, but even I won't complain at the company of the many fine young women who live here as well. And the young men, they remind me of myself in my youth, though I'm sure I was hardly as rambunctious as some of them.

[hellfryer]

Sounds to me like you've got it pretty good. I'm stuck with not enough cute ladies and a bunch of guys who ain't all that fun to be around.

Of course, none of them have my charms, so I think I've got the upper hand there. Who knows? Maybe we both win in the end, then.

[soulstoked]

Wow, Rowen... you're like the last person I'd ever think would be in a place like this! If we were to weigh you on the Gumi scale, you've gotta be a Miracle when it comes to rarity!

[theconductor]

That is what I feared. I'm afraid no one wants to play an old geezer.

[soulstoked]

Don't worry, Rowen! You'll always be the coolest old geezer I know! None of those other geezer types even come close!

[stagnantair]

You feel "honor" from the act of being controlled as they control us?

[He's actually a little curious, not sarcastic.]

[theconductor]

Would you rather be controlled or forgotten about? The latter sounds far worse, does it not?

[stagnantair]

I would much rather be left to my own objectives than be subjected to her will.

I do not see the... "honor" in it.

[justdefy]

[ ... ah, what a difference from the self-proclaimed old man he's used to. maybe because this one's actually old. ]

They sure don't make them like they used to.

[theconductor]

Ah, this old geezer has been through a lot to make me the person I am today. For right now, I am but a humble butler.

[Who might have been in the military... and a really prominent figure in it at that.]

[divinestreak]

I believe there's a phrase humans use in a time like you've described. Should they choose others to play, it's "their loss"?

[ she's excited to see you, rowen. truly she is. so much so that she's making pot shots at her own mun, THANKS OBAMA MILLA. ]

Has your mun decided on a place to send you, or are they content to let you travel a bit before having you settle?

[theconductor]

That is exactly it. Perhaps I should think of it as an honor to be chosen rather than dwell on the fact that not many have chosen myself among their muses.

[He smiles for Milla. Given that she's Maxwell, he's always honored to be in her presence.]

As of yet, she is undecided. For the moment, she wishes to settle with her current commitments, then if that goes well it appears I am next on her list. I could not be more pleased.

[moveyourdeadfros]

Come now, my good man- is not age more a state of the mind, than a factor of the flesh? Ah, then again I say that while having no flesh whatsoever! YOOHOHOHOHO!

[theconductor]

While my bones may be getting old, this geezer is still young at heart.

[Even if the way he charms and treats ladies is very old school, but that's what makes him so charming.]

[muzet]

It doesn't seem like many people value the elderly. What a shame, the oldest one we value is Lord Maxwell and humans never realize that!

My mun thinks you're lucky, but it doesn't matter much to me.

[theconductor]

Perhaps luck does play a role in it, as she may have never chosen to pick me up if I appeared to be more 'popular' here. However, it's fancy seeing you here, Muzet.

[He's not sure he's really entirely thrilled, though, to see her.]
