[It was two weeks he was gone. Two weeks ago Asbel departed from Luceti to go on a mission. It wasn't anything too out of the ordinary. A simple mission off to the mountains to combat third party soldiers. If there was one thing Asbel knew how to do well, it was fight. Not that the mission went off without a hitch, but... Well, it was successful, at least.

Asbel walks through the plaza towards his house, his white coat draped over his shoulders instead of being worn, and his left arm is hanging in a makeshift sling. He probably should stop by the clinic to get that treated properly, but... Well, he's more concerned with getting home to everyone first. He wants to see Cheria and Richard again. If you spot him in the plaza, you're certainly free to inquire and perhaps try to get him to go to the clinic, but...

Regardless of what happens in the plaza, Asbel soon arrives at his house, calmly opening the door as he steps inside.]

Cheria, Richard, Isamu... ...I'm home. [He's looking pretty beat, and there's that whole arm issue, but... he's home.]

[Sometime later, after recouping a bit, Asbel pulls out his journal, wanting a few answers. Two weeks is a long time to be away in a village where things can change overnight.]

Did something happen in the village while I was gone? It looks like something went down at the Battle Dome.

Y...es. [Awkwardly.] I met up with Isamu, for a little while.

action

[drawnbythesword]

Ah. Well, I'm sure you two had a lot of fun together, right? [Because you're best friends and best friends enjoy each other's company.]

action

[ex_restoring6]

Oh, well... [Hmm. At last he just says,] It was nice to see him.

action

[drawnbythesword]

That's good, at least. [Completely missing the awkward from Naoki.]

action

[ex_restoring6]

Yeah. [...] Anyway! The missions...I heard that you can get rewarded from them. Is it true?

action

[drawnbythesword]

Yeah... It is! ...I didn't know what to take as my reward, though, so I just took some points.

action

[ex_restoring6]

Just saving them up for the time being?

action

[drawnbythesword]

Yeah... They say if you save them up you can get a really nice reward.

action

[ex_restoring6]

Yeah? Thinking of anything in particular?

action

[drawnbythesword]

Not really. But if there's something I can use to help my friends...

action

[ex_restoring6]

[Blinks. T-then Naoki looks away, rubbing the back of his head. It's funny, 'cause he'd been thinking that way in regards to the missions.]

I heard that, ah. By doing them you could keep a person from being kidnapped...

action

[drawnbythesword]

Yeah... If I could use my points to do something like that... Well, I think it'd all be worth it, then.

action

[ex_restoring6]

Same here. It's why I've been thinking I might go on a couple in the future. [Naoki frowns, thoughtfully.]

action

[drawnbythesword]

I know this won't be the last mission I take on. [A heavy sigh.]

action

[ex_restoring6]

Mmm. [A slow nod.]

--but, when you get back from them, there'll always be people around for you. [He smiles, slightly.]

action

[drawnbythesword]

[That just prompts a smile from Asbel.]

Mmm... That's right.
