[IT HAS BEEN SOME TIME, and she wonders how this knight has been fairing ever since. Since you know, he wasn't as relaxed as he could've been, she figured. That and with a battle coming up, she wonders again how he feels about fighting this world. But only if the moment asks for such questions.
And since they've traded contact details, why not? When he connects--]
[ Oh my. This is his first time using the video function, so he does take some time primping his hair and appearance before answering. Look at his shiny teeth. His glossy locks. Look at them!! ]
If it isn't Vietnam. How may I assist you this evening?
[FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING. He's looking pretty handsome today, then again she could say that he looks very much like a cool knight every day. YOU DID GOOD, SUBAKI. MENTAL THUMBS UP.]
It certainly is! You need not do much, I was just wondering how you are?
[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.
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.
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. ]
[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?
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. ]

[ 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.

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?

Date: 2016-08-30 01:56 am (UTC)Here at the hall. There's no reason you should have to traverse on your own. I'll accompany you.

Date: 2016-09-05 02:18 pm (UTC)[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.]
