❖ 017 // [Voice]

[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?

[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.

[Very true!]

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

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

Raven... thank you.

[Yeah, he's touched by that.]

Hmm? Whatever for?

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

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

[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.]

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.

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.

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.]

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.

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.

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

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

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

Promise!

[Yeah, so it may be somewhat childish and all, but Emil secretly likes the concept of pinky swears. He'll link his pinky with Raven's, happy that someone trusts him enough to promise him something like that.]

[As childish as it seems, Raven is never one to break a pinky swear. Something about the innocence of keeping a promise this way appeals to him.]

Thank you Emil, and I mean that.

Huh? Oh, um, you're welcome...

[Used to being thanked Emil is not.]

[Depending on how Emil takes Raven's story will depend on how much more thanks he gets. ~~And you should still totally work on that translation ;D~~ Pff I'm terrible.]

Go on, 'bout time ya headed home. There'll be plenty of more chances to have not-cold tea with this old man.

[It's Emil, how badly could he take it? ... wait, don't answer that. ~~I've done some of it!~~]

And next time I promise not to let it get cold in the first place.

[You have such a valid point there... ~~Eeee <3~~]

Don't worry about that, I drank some of it while it was hot. Ya make a good cup of tea kid.

Thank you! I'll make you some more if you want to come over when you're ready to tell me about what happened. I'm sure Sial will be happy to see you again too. He's probably wondering where I am right now...

Ya better some tea for Sial too then! Haha, it's a long story.

Okay, I'll make sure to make some for all three of us.

[He's getting up to leave now, but out of habit, he's going to take his teacup in to the sink first.]

[Raven just laughs. Nice to see a kid who knows how to clean up after himself.]

Take care on the way home Emil. It's windy out there today.
