[Action]

[Once again Emil is out wandering around the village, although this time he's got his chimera Sial at his heels. Sial is carrying a small stick in his mouth, and every so often he'll run over to Emil and nudge at the boy's leg until Emil reaches down to take the stick and toss it halfheartedly for Sial to fetch. There's clearly something on his mind at the moment if his downcast expression is any indication.

If you happen to pass the pair, Sial might come bother you to see if you'll throw the stick for him.]

[OOC: Phonetagging for the rest of the afternoon, I just wanted to get this up before the event.]

Well, he doesn't always have something to say, and I've gotten pretty used to having him around. I was really freaked out the first time I met him, though! It really was creepy to find a talking sword!

...Of course, speak about me as if I'm not even here.

[knightofratatosk]

[... OKAY THAT WAS CREEPY.]

W-whoa!

[hotheadedidiot]

Maybe I wouldn't do it if you'd speak up more often, Dymlos! It's hard to remember you're there when you don't talk!

Hmph.

[knightofratatosk]

Um, h-hi Dymlos...

[hotheadedidiot]

...

Come on, Dymlos! Say something! You know you don't need to keep quiet here!

...Hello.

[knightofratatosk]

Hello... you probably don't remember who I am, but I'm Emil.

[hotheadedidiot]

I remember who you are.

[knightofratatosk]

Oh, then hello again. I didn't think I really stood out that much.

[hotheadedidiot]

Well, I've sure talked to you enough times! Besides, after a thousand years, I guess you just end up remembering everything.

[knightofratatosk]

... a thousand years? W-wow, you're almost as old as Tenebrae!

[Yes, he really did take that literally.]

[hotheadedidiot]

Hmph.

Aww, come on, Dymlos. Don't be like that!

[knightofratatosk]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that you were old, just... um, you've had a lot of experience?

[hotheadedidiot]

Aww, don't mind him. Dymlos is just a grumpy grouch.

I am not a "grumpy grouch"!

[knightofratatosk]

... you do remind me a little of Tenebrae.

[hotheadedidiot]

...Who was Tenebrae? A friend of yours?

[knightofratatosk]

He was a friend from my world... the Malnosso sent him home back in October a couple of weeks after they sent Richter back.

[hotheadedidiot]

O-oh... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have brought it up, in that case.

[knightofratatosk]

No, it's okay-- you didn't know. It's not your fault.

[hotheadedidiot]

Yeah, but I knew you've been depressed lately, so I should have been more sensitive!

[knightofratatosk]

I think everyone has been depressed lately because of the weather...

[hotheadedidiot]

Yeah... I like snow just as much as the next guy, but this weather's starting to wear thin on me!

[knightofratatosk]

I wonder when it's all going to melt. There's so much of it that it will probably take a while to go away completely.
