I don’t know you people. Not really.

[ Jake is seated in what looks to be some sort of a tavern, the walls behind him planks of wood instead of the stone of any of the castles. His hat is on, bright blue eyes staring out from under it, fixed on the locket. ]

And unless I’ve missed something, none of you know me.

[ He certainly hopes no one knows him – he’s wanted, after all. ]

But I don’t know these people who took us here, neither. And I ain't inclined to go to war on their word.

[ This isn’t a draft. It’s kidnapping, and while he has vague memories of having kidnapped before, it was never to gain soldiers. ]

Now, I reckon I ain’t the only one feelin’ that way. If I’m right [ and he’s willing to bet that he is ] and you ain’t content to sit around or be pushed into fighting for ‘em, then… well. [ Surprisingly white teeth show in a sharp grin. ] We may have some things to talk about.

I asked if they were fightin' this war for power. Morla said that if it weren't for tryin' to stop the apocalypse that they could, but that's about it.

[ Of course he's not exactly a talker. ]

[knightspirit]

[ ... Huh. First he's heard of any of this. But on the other hand, ]

Who knows what to believe. ... Wars are never what they seem to be.

[noflying]

No. Ain't for us to know, as far as they're concerned.

[knightspirit]

Yeah. But that's why it may be worth finding out.

[noflying]

Right.

[ Hmm. ]

Jake Lonergan.

[knightspirit]

Tsurugi Kyousuke. Nice to meet you, circumstances aside.

[noflying]

[ ... yeah Jake is not going to be able to pronounce that ]

You too.

[ At least he can sort of dredge up manners. ]

Plenty of people seem to be recommending the Station as a place to meet.

[knightspirit]

That's what I've been hearing, too. I haven't gotten around to visiting quite yet, but I guess now's as good a time as any. Especially since it's easier to travel these days.

Suppose I might see you there, then.
