As quests often are. [He agrees.] I'll never forget the time, it was perhaps three years ago now, when my friends and I got chased across Flence by an exceptionally large flock of Seeker Bats. We laughed about it for days after.

[One has to wonder what's so fun about that.]

[Ib giggles. That sounds like quite a day.]

That sounds awful! How did you get away?

[majesticgate]

Funny you should ask that. [He rests a hand casually on his hip, his voice taking on a slightly dramatic flare as he recounts the tale.]

We were returning from an evening of fine dining on the town. Naturally, when the creatures appeared in numbers, we attempted to subdue them first, but there were far too many for us to succeed. Next, we tried to outpace them, but they flew after us wherever we fled. All hope seemed lost as the beasts crowded near, when suddenly - as a last resort - a dear friend of mine flung one of our takeout boxes straight into the flock.

As it happens, the Seeker Bats couldn't stand the unique and powerful aroma of natto, thus we discovered that the dish doubles as Seeker Bat repellent.

['Is that seriously true, Richard? Then again, natto does smell pretty foul. I guess it could scare monsters away.' Richard's gaze flickers nervously for a moment, certain he somehow heard...]

[But Asbel and Sophie are busy gathering supplies. He couldn't have.]

[her_rose_is_red]

[Ib laughs, then wrinkles her nose.]

Ugh. I don't blame them. I had that stuff once and it's awful!

[It occurs to her that this is the most she's smiled in days. She really needed this.]

Thanks, I... what's wrong?

[She noticed the nervous flicker in his gaze.]

[majesticgate]

[Richard has the grace to chuckle lightly, although there's still a hint of uncertainty, plain in the way his eyes sweep the room once more.] Oh, come now! Natto is an acquired taste, I'll admit, but surely, it isn't as terrible as that? Personally, I find it quite agreeable when spread over toast.

[His mirth subsides somewhat, and he brings a hand slowly up to his brow.] It's strange... For a moment, I thought I heard Asbel speaking.

[her_rose_is_red]

Asbel? But isn't he out right now?

[She was pretty sure he was in one of the groups out getting supplies. And they weren't expected back for another day or so. Ib tilts her head curiously, her brow furrowing in concern.]

Maybe you're just tired?
