::This is Hirume. Wearing a mysterious visor, in clandestine robes and a mostly opaque visor, walking away from a boardwalk at the beach somewhere in the Greater Domino Area.

Similarly cloaked figures resembling D.D. Guide are walking away in an opposite end.

Would you like to talk to the Shining One?::

[last_sundust]

The moment it is safe to talk about, Dear Warlord, I will gladly explain in full.

Does that calm your pangs of worry?

::Smiles.::

[becomeanwarrior]

Like you wouldn't believe, Hirume.

[ His shoulders droop a bit, smiling. ]

I feel like I'm in the dark more often lately, so it's been making me nervous even though I'm trying to turn a corner and not worry about that stuff, as much.

I'm sure you probably understand that a little bit, yeah?

[last_sundust]

Not. Terribly?

::Blink. Blink.::

[becomeanwarrior]

[ Urk. ]

...R-really? Not knowing things doesn't ever make you nervous...?

[last_sundust]

I am the force of the world, I have seen much, so all things now to me are iterations. A pattern repeats endlessly.

... Not that you don't matter to me. But the patterns are continuous enough, that shock and awe is unlikely.

The impossible would have to happen to make one such as I nervous, Warlord.

::Chuckles, and ruffles your hair a little.::

[becomeanwarrior]

D-Don't say that! You'll jinx it!

[ He is laughing a bit, leaning into the hair ruffle and grinning. ]

But, no, I get it, for someone as long-lived as you, finding new things must be challenging. I hope I can keep things fresh enough, even if there's, quite literally, nothing new under the sun.

[last_sundust]

My current configuration is a fresh enough change that I revel in it, as it has brought me out of my existential despair.

Will that suffice as challenging?

::Blinks.::

[becomeanwarrior]

[ He blinks, and then shrugs. ]

I guess what I mean to say is, if you're happy, I'm happy. That's all that really matters at the end of the day.

[last_sundust]

I feel happiness at this moment, yes, that you are happy trying to make me happy.



::Pauses, thinking.::

... Though why would they be so concerned about a self sufficient independent food supply...

[becomeanwarrior]

... I can... think of a few reasons.

And I'm not sure I like any of them.

[last_sundust]

...

Would you like to spend the rest of the afternoon with me? Unless you have other concerns?

[becomeanwarrior]

I'm free and clear for the rest of the afternoon, barring the catastrophic.

So, yes. I'd like that. I'd like that a lot, Hirume.
