[quote]“...uhm, and if you’re concerned about the village’s safety, you could probably talk to lord Enli. Lady Mie m-may also be able to help. Though... I don’t think Lady Mie has any inclination to help with whatever is ailing Dawn. And uhm, forgive me for my inquisitiveness, but are you traveling with that short, black-haired girl with the fox-tailed companion?"[/quote]

"[color=skyblue]Okay, first of all, no more of this 'Lord Nick' thing, alright? It sounds weird and I'm not a lord of anything.[/color]" Nick held a finger up before raising another. "[color=skyblue]And secondly, that whole sister thing was just a joking metaphor although I won't be surprised if she's actually possessed by an evil demon. And lastly, I should be the one seeking forgiveness for using slang that only confused you. So, uhh, sorry about that.[/color]"

Looking over to the people the girl mentioned, Nick saw a long-and-black-haired girl with a snazzy costume that had a red cape and a military hat and another girl that had white hair, had a white foxy tail, a pair of white foxy ears and wore what seemed to be Japanese attire of olden times. "[color=skyblue]No, I don't know them. Are they outsiders too?[/color]" Nick observed them more and concluded that they looked several years younger than him. Though, they looked far... fantastical than him. "[color=skyblue]...They look like trouble though so I'll probably say hi later. I'll stick with you, for now[/color]"

"[color=skyblue]So anyway, about this village blowing up. Do you know anything about that or are you just, like, a guard around here?[/color]" Nick continued talking to this horned woman. "[color=skyblue]Who are you, by the way?[/color]"
