[ Knock knock, open up, there is some number of Anzens at your door.

A pretty lady in sky blue smiles and waves. ]

Good evening. Hopefully this isn't a bad time? Enough time has passed that we figured it was a good idea to check in and make proper introductions.

You'll have to forgive the lack of housewarming gift. We're a bit shorthanded at the moment, which I'm sure you can relate to.

[ From behind her peers a perfectly average guy with tousled hair dressed in sky blue slacks. He gives a friendly wave! ]

We did think about it, though.

[ GIVE BROWNIE POINTS ]

[presgarddihellis]

By all means. They're friendly enough.

[tailsofwoe]

Good to know. Ah, but that wasn't to say that I intend to neglect you, of course.

[presgarddihellis]

I'd hope we built a good enough rapport...

[amused.]

[tailsofwoe]

Of course. It's not so often I find someone to talk shop with outside of university.

[presgarddihellis]

It just so happens to be a subject matter that I am also interested in.

[tailsofwoe]

Simply as a hobby, or...?

[presgarddihellis]

Personal interest, you could say.

[tailsofwoe]

[ A slight tilt of her head. ]

Where are you from, if I may ask? I assume it must be somewhere on Earth—which sounds a bit silly to say, but I've found is not necessarily a given here.

[presgarddihellis]

You're not wrong.

I'm a complicated case.

I am both from China, on Earth.

But also from another place, the Loen Kingdom.

[tailsofwoe]

[ Blinks. ]

Oh? How does that work?

[presgarddihellis]

That is possibly too complicated, disturbing, and personal a story to be sharing just now.

[tailsofwoe]

My sensibilities are not as delicate as you may think, but if it's a matter of privacy, I'll not push further.

[presgarddihellis]

It's less about delicate sensibilities and more it's a poor subject matter for an introductory meeting.

[tailsofwoe]

Technically, this is our second.

[ But it's the tone of a conversational remark, not an actual argument. ]

[presgarddihellis]

But it's your first for some members of my group.

[some of these guys don't know his shit yet...]

[tailsofwoe]

True. Let us stick to the more innocuous topics of conversation, then.

[presgarddihellis]

Perhaps we can exchange stories of equally disturbing content at a later time.

[quid pro quo, miss.]

[tailsofwoe]

[ lol ]

I doubt I have as much in the way of firsthand accounts to share, though I suppose there's always the time I was trapped in a haunted school and nearly killed by a spider.

[presgarddihellis]

[lol]

I wouldn't mind terribly to hear how you fared during that event.

[tailsofwoe]

Now, or later?

[presgarddihellis]

Later, when I can offer my own tale.

Unless you'd rather deviate from you plans?

[tailsofwoe]

No, I'm in no rush, barring any dramatic changes in our circumstances between now and then. Later is fine.

[presgarddihellis]

Later, then. I'll look forward to it.
