Friendly Reminder to Not Be Like Him...

[The feed opens up to reveal Cor in his traveling clothes, sitting near a beach. It's sunrise, and it looks rather lovely....

Except for the fact that Cor himself looks like he's had the snot beaten out of him, bloody bandages and all.]

Just a question - anyone else noticed that all the monsters have grown more aggressive than normal lately? Pretty sure that they're not supposed to be this eager to tear people apart.

If any Natives know if this is a regular occurrence, feel free to let the rest of us know.

[He pauses as he adjusts the bandages around one arm.]

...doesn't feel like it's normal, though...

[The last bit is muttered just as the feed is turned off.]

Iwai...Nice to meet you, I suppose.

And I've been here since early June

I prefer the honest approach. Even some other witches aren't that fond of it, calling it an imprecise artform.

But for me, I've been fascinated by the stars ever since I was little. So it just felt like a good fit for me to teach others about them.

Well, course he will. I met Regis, he's got a good heart like that. I can tell, sure can.. and especially if he's got a friend like you watching his back!

What we face, we face together, ... I bet.. even when I need strength I can rely on him for it, he's a part of my heart and one of the many reasons I push forward to protect this world. So are you. That's powerful, don't you think?

No doubt about it, he's a good old powerful guy!

You too. Even despite the weird circumstances.

So, June? That's a decent time here. Got any advice for a new guy?

He was a great moogle king of legend, if you believe the stories kupo. But there are some who believed he would give them their power if they worshiped him.

[She frowns, trying to remember what she can about those weird cultist moogles from back home. It never felt like that thread of things got fully resolved or answered, unless maybe she missed something.]

To be honest, it's not a legend I ever really had much interest in. I was more a fan of the legends and prophecies about the Heroes of Light. Heh, I guess my legend was better than theirs, kupo.

Don't make this weird. I don't want friends

I just want to kick your ass

[Never mind that he doesn't have feet.]

Yes, exactly like those. Among other things.

[Newt understands fear of such creatures but they are so fascinating how can people not want to know more about them?]

They are just as aware of things as you or I. Approach them with respect and make it clear you mean them no harm and slowly but surely you can gain their trust. They are well aware of your intentions towards them even if you attempt to hide them. I mean creatures no harm, I simply want to study them and help them and most of them pick up on that. There are always those that are temperamental by nature and simply want nothing to do with humans but even those ones will offer a degree of trust to those that pay them the respect they deserve.

Perhaps not, but 'tis faster and more convenient than walking. [ Especially if standing up from a bench is enough to send Cor groaning... admittedly, Regis is aware that not many other than himself would have heard the sound, but still. ] Did you...

I should not need to remind you that you should watch out for your ears giving you trouble after aught like this, yes?

[ Fighting in water, as much as Regis was originally amused by the fact that Cor's adversary was fish, can be tricky in ways that could crop up days later. Anyway. ]

The additional potions are in the saddlebags. [ Safely and properly packed. ] I suppose it would have been convenient if I could simply place them in the Armiger for you to access, but this will need to do.

[ Talking means he can hold off the urge to hug Cor. That can wait until they are back home. ]

No, I'm well aware

[Because he's heard the lecture often enough from everyone else over the years. Thankfully, it's the first time it's cropped up in a long while, but still...]

...yeah, it would be. But best to not dwell on "would be's" right now.

[Even though Regis is completely right, about the Armiger. Still, the option of regaining one's powers thru custom jobs does give Cor some hope in resolving that particular issue at some point...]

...It'll do until we get back home.

[Thank you for picking up my sorry ass is the hidden meaning behind those words. It reflects in how much softer Cor's face is in this moment. They can hug when they're safe at their place. Maybe talk more, too, if necessary.]

[ But only if necessary? Regis would be a little bit, wryly, amused at that part.

For the moment, he shakes his head and waits for Cor to help himself, then nods for him to mount up. In case Cor, for once, is the one needing assistance, not that Clarus hasn't made sure that all the chocobos would be willing to let Regis, at his most exhausted, up on their backs. ]

Let us go. 'twill be far more comfortable at the house, and I think having at least two cats sleeping on you might assist me in keeping you resting for longer than otherwise.

[ That. Is a tease. Because he is worried, and keeping things light is the way to get them safe fastest. ]

Not even a sparring partner?

You're more than welcome to try

Training is a given in this world, but finding those who are willing to train alongside you would be wise.

Work isn't too hard to find. If a regular job isn't your thing, you can always take up hunts - or 'Quests', as they're called here - for some cash.

Heh. I guess so.

Still, those kinds of legends... It sounds like the kind of legend to be wary of.

[Cor couldn't help but stare at Newt in surprise...and a touch of disbelief.]

That actually works? On all of them?

Until recently?

[That last earns a disbelieving snort from Cor, even in the middle of climbing up onto the willing Chocobo.]

As if a pair of cats could keep me down for too long... You just want a chance to make me seem cute.

[Which, he is not. And has argued that he's not for years, both seriously and jokingly. Still, it's good to be joking, even if he winces from one of the cuts flaring up a little as he settles onto the bird.]

...and you want pictures for blackmail, too, I suspect.

[Again, more teasing to hide the pain.]

A sparring partner that's stronger than what's outside the town's walls would be nice

Let's set something up

Depends upon which town you're at.

And sure. Name a time and place of your choosing.

I could handle a regular job. I own a shop back where I'm from selling airsoft guns and supplies.

[It's why he's glad he's doing the Gunslinger thing. He actually feels like he knows what he's doing with that one.]

I mean, I suppose, kupo. I always believed in the prophecies of the Heroes in my world, but I guess there's not much difference between what I did and what they did. I mean, they picked their Hero and they supported it. There's obviously a difference between a monster and a real hero, kupo.

[She didn't fully understand everything of the legends and all of her own world, it was all a bit overwhelming, but she did know some of the Heroes were concerned that they themselves were as much a problem as the Calamity, if not making it stronger. Bonnie's just glad they were wrong.]

[ Mouth twitching. ]

Well, perhaps not for long, but long enough while I am not in your immediate vicinity.

Although if pictures do happen... I should, perhaps, ask Prompto if he could make that happen.
