JOYOUS DAY
Ah, it was pretty much as expected. Lights were still lit in the castle, and your barriers were still up. Had to heal up and treat a couple of villagers. [ While internally sweating because Day knows he is not trained in medicine, just furiously referencing someone who actually is. ]
Good, good... no signs of mischief, I hope?
[Solomon thumbs through the coin on his person for two servings, gesturing for Day to pick a flavor he likes. Go ahead, his treat.]
I'll take myself and a few others back to them within the week... but it's been a relief knowing all of you came back safely.

No signs of mischief. [ Thank goodness.
Day seems to contemplate for a moment before he picks what sounds like a fruity flavour. ]
You're bein' pretty thorough. [ Which is more an observation than anything else. ]

Mm. It's just selfishness. I've grown fond of them, after all.
[He shouldn't. He' ll be gone from their lives soon enough, if all goes well. But... he can't help himself.]
It should be two-fold, anyway. With wizards having died out on the battlefield, I'd like to double-check the open forest outside where we had our fight. I doubt Ithaqua would have left any loose, but with how injured we were... well, it doesn't hurt to double check.

Tch.
[Another Man with Trauma. Oh well! Akira isn't one to pry when it's clear he'll get no answers, so he remains silent for the remainder of their flight and eagerly hops to his feet when they make their landing.]
Remind me what this winter daphne looks like. Is it the same shade of green as your hair?

[ Of course, Akira, what else would it be if not trauma? Day puts his broom away once they land. ]
Nah, they're little pale pink flowers. Grow in shrubs.

[ He raises his eyebrows a little when Solomon says he's grown fond of them, because Day knows as well as Solomon does that he shouldn't. ]
Huh? What do you mean?
Huh? What do you mean?
About Ithaqua not having left any loose?
[ What is "any" here, he's not sure? ]
[ What is "any" here, he's not sure? ]
...Oh.
[ That makes sense. ]
Guess it's better to be safe than sorry, huh.

No. Haven't eaten a single one.
[ Which is very South of him, depending on who you ask. ]

...Couldn't bring myself to get used to idea of gettin' stronger by eatin' somethin' or someone else.
[ And when the idea was introduced by someone asking if how he felt about cannibalism...well, it doesn't make him feel good.]

Pale pink flowers...
[...Akira's thinking that sounds like so many damn flowers, but he doesn't let thoughts turn into words. He's already shuffling forward with his eyes to the forest floor, but uh, that brings up another question—]
How big's the plant? Is it big enough to stand out, or do we need to comb through every bush until we find a lead?

[ Welcome to the world of flora, Akira. ]
I ain't sure what counts as big here, but their smell is really strong. That would stand out.
[ So, you know. Maybe a bit of combing but hopefully they'll find it fast enough. ]

Really nice-smelling plant. Kind of spicy and sweet. [ Day hasn't forgotten it even though it's been years. ] Might remind you of incense.
[ Day's going to go on ahead and take a look, and... ]
...Wow, lotta things have died here lately, huh. [ Look at all these mana stones. ]

Thought about it too, but I can't even hunt. [ I.e., kill wild animals. How can he possibly eat mana stones from magical creatures if he's not comfortable with that?]
...You know since you ate Sophie's mana stone.

Ah. Sorry 'bout that.
[ ...He'll stare at his shaved ice and take a spoonful. ]

No apologies needed. Let's just not cause a scene on accident.
[Like, he's used to being a pariah so it's no big deal, but he'd rather not drag Day with him just because of the conversational topic of choice.]
I think you're one of the only ones who's had appropriate amounts of caution upfront. Who did you learn that from?

From our previous mentor. I asked him about how wizards can get stronger, then he asked me how I felt 'bout cannibalism.
[ Thanks, Wanderer. ]
