[It's been quite a few days since his arrival, but he's settling into living in his new surroundings fairly well. Ultimately Ryu has set up a camp within Fayren, though a fair distance away from the city. It's a quiet evening that finds him practicing with his sword. Anyone examining the surrounding area can tell he's had time to settle the immediate area around his tent. It certainly looks a bit more hospitable than one might initially find on wandering through a forest. If anything, this is the closest Ryu has found to home.]

It's nothing like Cedar Woods, but with enough time and money I think I could come to make something here. I'd like to extend an offer to anyone interested. If you have a desire to become strong, or brush up on your swordsmanship, I wouldn't mind showing a few pointers. All I ask is that you use your skills to better yourself, or only use them to defend yourself in case of trouble. I'd really prefer not having to draw against you if you use what I teach to assault others.

[To that end he enters his tent, returning to the camera's view after a moment with a wooden sword in hand.]

Chihiro, this is yours. I've been working on setting aside some space out here in Fayren. It's a little distance to walk, but consider it part of your training. The sword itself is yours to keep. I'll be waiting for you here.

[There's a set of instructions here on how to find Ryu's tent once one passes through the Archway to Fayren.]

And I suppose I'd like to ask all of you a question, if you don't mind. What are dragons like in your worlds? Are they good? Evil? Or something else? Let's just say I'm a little curious.

So your saying in your world... dragons aren't the bad guys people would make them out to be?

[She is use to stories of dragons being the bad guys and kidnapping princesses and hoarding a lot of treasure and generally just being grumpy.]

Yeah. Even if their enemy was correct in assuming they could have destroyed the world if they fought back, but the Brood chose not to. Instead they went into hiding, waiting for the day they could be free again.

[Even with just a whelp form at his command, he understood why people saw him as such a threat.]

But that's one of the reasons I need to go back. It took a long time for me to learn that, and I don't want them to have to hide and suffer any longer.

[She pauses for a moment. Her fingers moving to her chin as she ponders it for a moment.]

I can't say when you'll be able to go back, I mean none of us know and that is rather annoying. There are things back home I need to do as well.

I'm sure I can find a way sooner or later. It can't be much harder than unraveling a four hundred year old historical lie, right?

[But the sooner he can fix things, definitely the better.]

What unfinished business do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

Why, I'm glad you asked.

,small>[She looks a little happier at least now.]

I have games to play, cosplays to make. Important normal everyday things to tend to.

[He stops for a moment, looking at her through the video feed. Then? He laughs.]

Here I'm talking about all this depressing stuff... I don't know what cosplay is, but I guess you could say I envy you if you have a normal life.

[She laughs slightly, more her trademark ohohohoh than an actual normal laugh.]

Of course one should envy that type of thing. After all I've grown up with such a lifestyle that most people would be jealous of.

I don't even mean being rich or something. I mean just having a life where I didn't have to fight.

[He's earnest in his explanation, and doesn't quite understand why such a thing would be funny.]

Well it looks like you'll more likely find that life here, more than anywhere else. At least that's what I assumed anyway.

For now, but I'll have to go back and finish what was started sooner or later.

And I'm sure that will be very fun for you. But until then, we're all stuck here with no way home.

Right, fun.

[Deserts can suck an egg as far as he's concerned.]

Well, I'm afraid I don't have much to offer. I'm good with a sword, some healing magic, and I can fish and make sushi. Unfortunately I'm lacking in the right ingredients right now.

[She paused for a moment.]

That's quite a few things you can do, something assume commoners could do anyway? So I must ask, how does one make sushi?

I need something similar to Shaly Seeds, vinegar, horseradish, and some mackerel. With how big these cities are, I'm sure I can find the ingredients somehow.

Question but what are Shaly seeds?

It's sort of like rice, except it grows from trees. It's unique to a place called the Maekyss Gorge. It helps with the texture of that particular dish, but you can substitute rice for it. I had to learn how to make it for a man who hated eating fish.
