Not that the heat in Iblenar was any better, but he preferred the dryness, at least. He watched Seele point out a few places, wondering if she knew the city better than he did, although she ended up admitting she didn't know why she was doing what she did. Truthfully, he never knew why she did anything she did, but he didn't mind it. He did agree with her preferences, although before he could reply, she stopped them. He waited for Seele, deciding he may as well go over his assets. He couldn't access the menu anymore but he knew he had money all over the place, with the bulk of it in Iblenar. He had asked Robin to look over his house there, too, but would the rest of his places still be there if he went to the other city states? Someone could just as easily break into his homes without him ever knowing, and while he didn't have anything of value (aside from the pianos) he didn't know if they would be readily available. Not to mention if the sadist decided to throw on [i]property taxes[/i] into the Cycle of Pain then the city was likely to also just seize it from him. Going forward he was just going to assume the world was going to bring every single pain in the ass the real world had, it'd just be easier for him that way. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he let out a sigh, albeit he straightened up as Seele returned. He had assumed she was going to get another witch's hat, but she returned with something else. His mouth formed a small 'o' of surprise as she opened it. An umbrella? Or was it technically a parasol? Either way she seemed pleased with her purchase and they were able to continue on their way. Picking up where they left off, Kazuki nodded in response. Maybe she was from somewhere that didn't get a lot of sun. Her skin was pretty fair, so that was the assumption he would go with. [color=plum]"Maybe you could enhance it and use it as a weapon,"[/color] He noted, pretending to swing something. Now that was a comical sight, imagining Seele thwacking someone with a flimsy umbrella only to send them flying. But he would continue as they walked. [color=plum]"No, I didn't start here, I started in Iblenar and my pathos is Queon,"[/color] He decided to explain. [color=plum]"Once I got comfortable with the game I traveled a lot, ended up buying a place in every major city-state since it was cheaper than always staying at an inn and more convenient to store whatever I ended up crafting. I'd usually just wait for Benkei to call on me whenever he wanted to adventure, but otherwise I spent my time performing, crafting, and accompanying a friend who usually joined me for traveling."[/color] He hoped Robin's trip was going well, even though he couldn't have gone too far it would be a few days before he would likely hear from him. But he was talking too much about himself, he wanted to know more about her. [color=plum]"What pathos are you aligned with?"[/color] He asked. [/indent][hr][hr]
