[ He'd be proud of himself if he knew, but for now, he's still putting on airs and acting like he always looks this good. ]

As radiant as I always am. I suspect you haven't run into much trouble yourself lately?

[ He does remember something he wanted to ask her, perking up a bit. ]

I heard word of certain legendary steeds here in Caissa. I have been trying to pinpoint their exact location and perhaps tame one.

[Some knights man, if she can have a sliver of his confidence!!]

Aha, I am glad you are doing well! You definitely look it. [Fans ego?!?!?] I have been well behaved lately! [...at least, for a Hero, she's probably drove some bandits to tears.

Now this does sound important though, so she's all ears.]

Oh! Do you have an idea which kind of legendary steed? I can help you locate one. And tame one if need be, I have been taught how for my own.

[Which...actually just spends most of its time roaming around or chilling in the stables. She's not so much of a person who uses steeds, so it's more like an oversized pet.]

How resourceful. It seems like you might be of great assistance to me just yet.

[ He opens a book and points to the unicorn, tapping the page lightly. ]

They are listed in the bestiary. Unfortunately, they have no wings, so it won't be quite the same, but I have had enough training and expertise in ground maneuvers that I can adjust if needed.

[ He just doesn't feel the same without his noble falicorn beneath him in battle, and the falcon they had left him with is ...small. And unruly. He'd much rather have a noble and beautiful beast that suits him perfectly. ]

Where may I find one of these? I have searched all the known locations yet haven't come across a single one.

[ Though he refuses to give up until he finds and tames one. Surrender is nowhere in his vocabulary. ]

O-oh I see! Hmm, I wonder why it is so hard to find those with wings...

[Oh well, must be the food they have. They probably do not have good mount feed for the ones that fly. Unicorns on the other hand, shouldn't be too hard. Not to mention it looks beautiful, it should be majestic enough for a knight like him!]

Where have you searched? We can narrow it down. There are a few places that might have strong magic, I think beasts like that would like strong magic.

[She didn't quite realise yet that means unicorns likes a lot of mana exchanging. Which, let's be real, everyone does only because they need thing.]

It's good that you asked. I have a map that I have been working with-

[ He unfurls it and shows the areas he's been visiting each day to look. They're all circled in red. ]

After collecting information from the locals, I have narrowed down these choice areas that I have frequented which have high concentrations of four-legged mounts and magic. I have also tried luring them with food, high-class feed, yet not a single one showed up. All I got were boars and filthy forest creatures.

[ What is he doing wrong? Why won't the unicorns come to him and his overflowing magnificence? Does he have to earn their trust first? ]

[Subaki, trying so hard, and all he got were boars and filthy forest creatures...this is so sad!

But considering she had to earn the trust of her own mount-turned-pet, maybe that is exactly why.]

So those are the areas...alright! I think you are doing this correctly, so I will come with you, and we can cover more ground! Unicorns are quite rare, after all. I was lucky with strange beast, but there were three of us at the time. All I know is you must be the one to tame it with your delicious feed, so it will love you forever.

[THIS WILL TOTALLY WORK.]

Of course, I plan on doing just that. I will have to buy a wider variety of feed then, only the best for my future steed. I won't stop until I have the fastest and most beautiful.

[ It may very well kill him. Please bury him and tell his friends and family that he loved them very much. ]

If you are free tomorrow morning at dawn, we can head to the northern points on the map and try to lay them out there.

So that is your agenda for tomorrow, I see!

[Getting better feed...she will carry some of it for him too!

BUT NO SUBAKI. SHE'LL SAVE HIM, his friends will have a Subaki to love.]

I am free tomorrow morning at dawn. Where would you like to meet? Here at the Hall first, or shall we meet at one of the points on the map?

[ She is too kind. Too gentle. He doesn't deserve this friend. ]

Here at the hall. There's no reason you should have to traverse on your own. I'll accompany you.

[ It's only the most gentlemanly thing to do to make sure she's safe and out of trouble. ]

[He's a knight! She's the one who should be honoured, to know someone so noble and hardworking.]

A-ah, I do not mind, really. But I would like that. So that we can...how do they say, "hang out"? Spend time together and converse? [What a loser.]

Of course. I'd like to get to know more about you and your world, and I will share with you fond tales of mine.

[ He might as well get to know his new allies if they're going to be here for so long and work together. He wants to know who he can trust and rely on. ]

A-ah, then an even trade!

[She can do this, she has many things she would like to hear from him. That and if he wants to know a few more things, she doesn't mind sharing. After all, back home, her life is public.]

Then let us do this, I would like to know many things about you. Also, we need food for ourselves. What do you like to eat?

Don't worry about provisions. I will handle all the logistics as I did back in my own home world.

[ It wouldn't be right to make her work on his behalf. He is the one who proposed this little venture after all. ]

You only need to bring yourself along.

You used to handle all of this?

[But she doesn't mind at all. Subaki may be asking for a favour, but she's coming along out of her own free will.]

Are you sure, it won't be any trouble, really.

Of course, I am sure. I never make promises I don't intend to keep. Leave it all to me.

[ He's not going to budge on this, and it's hardly any trouble. He's used to planning trips for far more than just two people. This is nothing to him. Besides, if he's in control, he'll remain assured no details are forgotten. ]

[WELL...if he insists, she won't fight it anymore. She's curious to see what he does, anyway.]

Fine, but next time it will be my turn!
