If I ever catch either of you near Martel again, I won't hesitate to run you through. Consider this a fair warning.

[Action]

[Of course, telling two murderous assholes to back off is like inviting them to your doorstep, which is exactly where Yuan will be. Well, his front lawn, to be more precise. If they are stupid enough to show up, at least he'll have a nice excuse to follow through with his threat. As much as Martel insists these guys have been punished enough, Yuan wouldn't mind having them pay a bit more.

If you happen to be passing by house #8, feel free to bug him. He doesn't seem to be doing much besides sitting on the grass and sketching something on a piece of paper.]

Well, they say you never know what'll show up in the shops, right?

[fortunefail]

I doubt the most crucial part will appear. [Because the chances of a fitting converter that can transfer Luceti energy to mana via Shift technology to appear in the shops is extremely close to zero.]

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Hm. [ He stands up and taps his chin. ] Maybe you can find another way to build it... but I dunno. I've only built fires before, though I met someone who built a kite he could fly with, once.

[fortunefail]

... Kites aren't quite the same as a functional engine.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

[ Now he... just looks confused. Hello child of super-underdeveloped technology land. ]

An engine?

[fortunefail]

A machine. It's used to power vehicles.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Uwah, that's neat! We didn't have those, at home.

Hm... I should let you sketch it more, right? I should get going now, so you can.

[fortunefail]

It's fine. I don't mind too much.

[Well, actually, he does mind a bit. He has to put some effort into getting to know this kid though. Ah, the things he does for love.]

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Really?

[fortunefail]

Really.

[ His wings ruffle as he swells up, pretty happy. He's been curious about this Yuan person. As far as he's concerned, though, if Martel loves him, he's a good guy. He sits right down, legs crossed, and smiles wide. ]

[fortunefail]

[Yuan's not entirely sure how to act towards a kid like that. Or what to say, really. Hm...]

... Do you have any preferences for dinner?

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

[ He never knows how to answer that. A home cooked meal is always totally amazing. He thinks about it for a little while. ]

Umm... roast pork and potatoes?

[fortunefail]

All right.

[Though Yuan's cooking won't exactly be "Just like mommy used to make it". There's a good chance that roast pork might end up a bit overcooked. But he'll do his best!]

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Hooray! Thanks!

[fortunefail]

You're welcome. [......And then he ran out of things to talk about, again.]

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

[ It's okay. Cooro's a little boy, which means he's chalk full of questions. He sits down again and thinks a bit. ]

Are there things like this, where you're from?

[fortunefail]

Engines? I suppose so. [A bit of a trick question, because while Tethe'alla's got plenty of technology, Sylvarant was already proud to have a ship that worked on steam.]

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

I didn't think people would travel on anything but boats and horses... caravans, too.

[fortunefail]

We have those as well. Vehicles with engines aren't reserved for just anyone.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Only nobles?

[fortunefail]

Researchers, for the most part. Nobles hardly see a need to travel.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

That must get pretty boring. I don't think I ever wanna be one, if I can't travel.

[fortunefail]

[At that, Yuan smiles faintly in amusement.] Nobles sit still far too long for their own good. I doubt that lifestyle would suit you either way.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Mm! I'd get really bored if I couldn't go anywhere.
