[There's an old fart standing on the roof of house #12. How he got up there, or rather, when he got up there is a complete mystery he respawned there. In his hands he flips through the pages of the journal, looking for anything remotely interesting that he may have missed. After a while he speaks up.]

It's kinda windy today, don't ya think?

Fightin' is over-rated. There are lots of people here who've never even picked up a weapon!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I know, but I have to fight. That's why I made that pact in the first place.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Any chance we can finish this thread up today? And Raven just tell you about he died next time he spots you round, cause yeah... it's 10 days later now xD]

Why do ya have to fight? That's ridiculous.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Sure, no problem. XD /has been slow like a slow thing lately, fff]

To protect Marta. I promised that I would, I'm just not very good at it.

[And he falls silent, just sort of staring at his tea, which has been getting cold. Way to go, Emil.]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Yay thanks bby :3]

Considerin' ya mentioned who was in this world, I've got the feelin' Marta isn't on that list.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[♥ oh god it just took me like two minutes to remember how to make a heart]

No, she's not, but... it's better that way. She's safe from the Malnosso back at home, where she belongs. And Tenebrae is there with her now too.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Pff I just C+P them from other people ♥♥♥]

As well as Richter.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[XD That works too!]

... yeah, as well as Richter.

[It's complicated, Raven.]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[IGNORE MY BAD HTML!]

It's OK kid, ya've got us ta keep ya company! Whether yer some genocidal spirit or Emil, doesn't matter either way ta me.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[THAT'S STILL BETTER THAN MY "/SHITS DOOR" TYPO FROM YESTERDAY!]

Thanks, Raven. That really means a lot to me. I don't know what's going to happen, but I won't let Ratatosk hurt anyone here. I promise.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[I SAW. But it didn't smell like lightning at least!]

Believe me, if Ratatosk tries ta kill me I'll give him one hell of a fight first.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Very true!]

Just, um, try not to hurt him too much?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Haha, alright I promise I won't. He's is you after all. Be hard enough ta fight him as it is.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Raven... thank you.

[Yeah, he's touched by that.]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Hmm? Whatever for?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

For everything you've done for me. I owe you a lot, so... thanks.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Heh, I haven't done anythin' other than listen.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Just listening helps him out more than you know, Raven. Of course, he's not going to say that, but he does seem quite a bit more relaxed than he was before they started talking.]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Yer tea has gone stone cold though. It might be a better idea if I explain myself another day... I kinda need some time to think about how I'm goin' to even begin with that story.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Huh? Oh, right!

[Picking up the tea to sip at it now.]

It's okay; you don't have to tell me right now if you don't want to. Something tells me it's a lot more complicated than what you said happened.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Yeah, that was a blatant lie. If I told you the honest truth, you'd be the first person in Luceti to have ever found out about me.

[He stares at his cup, he really doesn't feel like drinking it now.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Then you can tell me when you're ready. After all, I know what it's like to not want other people to find something out about you. It wouldn't be fair for me to ask you about it if you're not ready to tell me yet.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Haha, I didn't even tell the people from my own world. The only found out 'cause I honestly believed I was going to die at that moment.

[He really doesn't know how to explain it. He could just show Emil, but he'd much rather not... gives him something to think about either way.]

I'll hit ya up on the journal when I'm ready alright? It won't be too long.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

All right, and... thank you for trusting me enough to explain it to me, even if you can't talk about it just yet.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

I should be thankin' you fer tellin' me about Ratatosk.

[He holds out his pinky finger.] Promise is a promise.
