[color=#A84B5E]“Dunno if what if’s and should have’s are gonna help you. And you gotta stop bein’ afraid of Mystic. Kazuki was there and save for Luci saying some mean words he was fine. Pris doesn’t hold anything against us. Unless you think that’s a problem. Do you want them to, or somethin’?”[/color]

[color=#98A9B1]"I mean, I'm used to disapointing people,"[/color] Benkei grumbled.

Kazuki's own drunken affections were embarassing, but then his brother seemed to sober up the more Benkei struck into their shared issues at home. Benkei just frowned and looked towards the ground as Kazuki tried to build his brother back up, but the acknowledgement of Luci's resentment, much less the resentment of others, was still there as well. 

[color=#98A9B1]"It's not even the fact that I'm not as smart, or as talented, or as handsome as you,"[/color] Benkei grumbled. [color=#98A9B1]"Even here, you're always so amazing. We need money, you have it. We need a place to stay, you have it. With all the time I've put into this game, the only thing I had to show about it was my place on the leaderboard."[/color] He closed his eyes. [color=#98A9B1]"And now that's not even a thing. Everything's changed, and I'm the odd one out again."[/color] 

[i][color=tan]"There's lots of stuff you can do!"[/color][/i]

[i][color=#98A9B1]"Catching a rare fish is useless compared to being able to make simple potions, or smithing armor, or mining."[/color][/i] 

His eyes moved from Rael to Kazuki. [color=#98A9B1]"I can't pretend like I'm the leader everyone wants me to be. The best thing I can do is finally accept what mom and her [i]friend[/i] said to me. If I can't be naturally talented, the best I can do is at least work and help bring in some money for the rest of you."[/color]
