104th moon [4th walls suck at keeping bats out]

[paladinlost]

[Ahhh, the last weekend of November. As nearly always, every city is invaded by dozens of confused new arrivals, strange Legendaries party like it's 1999, innocent trainers and breeders wake up on the beach or in the middle of the Ice Cave, not-so innocent Rockets do the same, Cecil's house and yard are overtaken by thousands upon thousands of shiny and non-shiny Zubats...

...Wait, what?]

If anyone could help me chase these away before this world returns to normal, it'd be much appreciated!

...That's not quite how I remember it.

[dragoon_pride]

Are you certain, Cecil? You've been gone for a while, you may be remembering wrong...

[paladinlost]

If I can remember a child's thousand firsts, I can surely remember the success rate of a healer's predictions and advice.

[dragoon_pride]

You're about to tell me those healers were always right, aren't you?

[paladinlost]

Perhaps not always, but more often than you'd admit.

[dragoon_pride]

Clearly. Because I seem to remember them overreacting quite a few times.

[paladinlost]

A handful of times or so, yes, usually when dealing with bloody but shallow wounds, or the tail end of illnesses.

[The other times, though...]

[dragoon_pride]

All of which hasn't killed me yet, but I've only become stronger from all of those experiences.

[Oh, those other times. Kain doesn't want to think about those other times.]

I apologize if I've ever caused worry.

[paladinlost]

Apology accepted. Even though I know you'll make me worry still.

[dragoon_pride]

I'll do my best to keep it to a minimum, if I can. I promise.

[paladinlost]

I'll hold you to that. Perhaps a new law concerning dragoons and the number of days of worry they can cause in a year is necessary.

[dragoon_pride]

Hm... that sounds like an incredibly unfair law.

[paladinlost]

Of course, but I've no doubt it'd receive great popular support. Especially from the castle's inhabitants.

[dragoon_pride]

But certain dragoons might object! It's- it's unfair... it's not as if we mean to cause worry, after all...

[paladinlost]

...But the worry still exists, does it not? We cannot help it.

[dragoon_pride]

Well... perhaps it exists, but it needn't be such strong worry. There's really no need.

[paladinlost]

It's difficult to tell how much we should worry, when the current state of the object of our worry cannot be confirmed.

[Just saying.]

going!!! ♥

[dragoon_pride]

But... if it can't be confirmed, this is one of the few times you can assume the best, instead of the worst. Right?

[Maybe?]

[paladinlost]

Not necessarily. Someone might forget to right home because of a busy schedule... or because of a fatal case of zombie attack. It's impossible to tell.

[dragoon_pride]

Fortunately, I have yet to meet a zombie who can defeat me. Or one who poses too much of a challenge...

[Fighting the undead all the time can get a bit tedious, really. All zombies all the time, it's a bit much.]

[paladinlost]

Or poses enough of a challenge, for that matter?

[Cecil, not everyone has a holy sword.]

[dragoon_pride]

Not nearly enough of a challenge, I would say. Though you're probably better suited to fight undead than I am.

[paladinlost]

And yet you're the one battling them every day. How strange.

[dragoon_pride]

It truly is strange how these things work out. But it's not as if we could ever switch places.

[paladinlost]

I doubt either one of us would even want to, all things considered.
