1st Night [action]

[When Loki finally reaches the outskirts of Luceti, he's scratched up, hungry, tired, and above all, cranky.]

Damn you... Heim...

[And without further ado, he collapses.

How does one react to a child in New Feather garb lying motionless on the floor?]

But in exchange, you give up your freedom... It sounds almost like a prison paradise.

Yes... that's a good way to put it. Ah, that's the Welcome Centre. [points towards it]

Oh, I see. Thanks.

[smiles] Let's go together? I'm kind of hungry too.

Ah. Why not?

My name is Loki. What's yours?

It's nice to meet you, Loki. I'm Kantarou! That's an interesting name you have there. Loki like the Norse God?

How surprising! Most Japanese don't make the connection. It's a good name, isn't it?

Well, I know a bit about it as it's part of what I do. It's a nice name.

Oh? What is it that you do, Kantarou?

Well, I'm a folklorist.

That's a rare profession nowadays.

It is?

Most people don't seem to care for those types of stories anymore.

Well, enough of them do or I wouldn't have been able to sell any books.

As they say, there's a market for everything. You look young for an author.

... [Frowning and huffing a bit at that] I'm just babyfaced.

Ah so...? Better to look too young than too old.

Nothing. [huff, huff] Well... most of the time. You look pretty young yourself.

Yeah, what about it?

I guess you can understand how inconvenient it can be sometimes...

You mean like having to use a step stool to reach the top shelf? And not being able to see over counters? And being told I need adult supervision? Like that?

Well... not exactly the same. [he is taller after all] But more like people not taking you seriously 'cause they think you're still a kid.

Unfortunately, it's unavoidable. People are easily swayed by physical appearances.

[sighs] Very true... Well, I guess that means you don't exactly look your age either~?

...

When did I ever say anything like that?
