[Seriously, guys.

Cecil likes travelling. He was looking forward to being on the road. Did you have to teleport him to his destination? Again?

...He'll be amusing himself by switching between paladin and dark knight form for now. It's not like he has anything better to do.]

[dragoon_pride]

Forbidden by whom?

[In a tone that says he clearly doesn't intend to obey.]

[paladinlost]

The law, of course. The officers would arrest you and force you to wash dishes for a week.

[dragoon_pride]

That would be my only punishment? Truly?

[paladinlost]

It would be your punishment whether you accidentally hit a Caterpie with your spear or murdered someone. The local laws are strange.

[dragoon_pride]

That... is very strange indeed. It seems as if the truly evil crimes must go unpunished.

[And yet, none of this talk at all encourages him to give up his spear.]

[paladinlost]

Luckily, most of us are willing to take matters in our own hands for those cases.

[Which would include people attacking Beedrills with spears, hint hint.]

[dragoon_pride]

Ah, that sounds promising...

[Attacking things with spears is exactly what he wants to be doing, yes.]

[paladinlost]

We cannot always stop them, but we try our best.

[That spear should be put to good use, against people like Commander Cobra and Bowser!]

[dragoon_pride]

Good, I'm glad to hear that.

[Yes, these would be good uses of his spear.]

[paladinlost]

We can hardly allow them to harm the younger trainers, after all.

[And there's lots of other non-critter targets, too!]

[dragoon_pride]

I'm sure that wouldn't happen.

[paladinlost]

...Not by lack of trying. They enjoy attacking defenseless people.

[dragoon_pride]

That's all the more reason for the strong to remain on alert and prepared to defend them then.

[paladinlost]

Which can be strange, when the strong happen to be children who've had years to train their teams.

[dragoon_pride]

Are there many like that around here?

[paladinlost]

...Many, but less with every month that passes.

[dragoon_pride]

I see... I wonder why there are so many less now.

[paladinlost]

Because many experienced trainers are someday sent home, of course. And it takes a long time before newcomers reach that level.

[dragoon_pride]

Are people that often sent away to their homes?

[paladinlost]

Too often, for those who are left behind.

[dragoon_pride]

How unfortunate, that it must happen so often...

[paladinlost]

We can remind ourselves that they are now safe in their own worlds, at least.

[dragoon_pride]

Ah, I suppose that could be comforting in its way.

[paladinlost]

As long as we know they come from good worlds, it is.

[dragoon_pride]

Indeed... I wouldn't have wanted to return to our world while Zemus was still around.
