[oh good, a place that neither had monsters nor was stuck with a perpetually orange palette. Richter had no doubt in his mind that he would be dealing with those two items for a long time to come... Truthfully though, he just didn't want to hang around a place that might cause him to run into any number of blonds running around The World these days]
... Hmph.
[the half-elf catches sight of the GM with his checklists but chooses to ignore him for the time being. This place reminded him of Asgard; it wouldn't hurt to take a look around before accepting the quest]
[NO BLONDS HERE RICHTER, SORRY. Just a nerdy little girl who seems to be in awe at the place. It reminds her of home in a way. What with all the animals running around.
Speaking of running, guess who just ran into Richter on accident? Hint: not a blond boy.]
[so it's a good thing PK-ing isn't possible in the Root Towns; Richter automatically tries to reach for his weapon and is only stopped by the fact that Jade had run directly into him. It was either catch her or have both of them fall and, (un)fortunately, Richter's pride would not allow him to choose the latter]
[so one suave catch later left the red haired Blade Brandier staring down at the young girl]
...
[talk fast, he looks like he's about to let you go regardless of whether you've recovered or not]
[ She quickly balances herself, fixing her askew glasses in the process. It really is (un)fortunate that they're in a root town. A tiny newbie steam gunner like her would stand no chance against Richter. ]
Oh no! I'm sorry. I wasn't really paying attention and suddenly you were just there!
[nah, his face is just stuck in that expression all the time unless you are Aster and sometimes Emil]
Regardless of whether you can be attacked here, randomly running into things is hardly the safest thing to do. Worst case scenario is that you find yourself buried under merchandise.
[wry little smile ~ and a difficult question to think on. but Richter's so-helpfully supplied context]
For me, somewhat less than two months; at the least, I believe I arrived later than he. Unfortunately my sense of the passing time's been somewhat skewed ...
[have a rather more unreadable smile, oh redhead ~]
... isn't that right, Richter? Given your ability to dodge those tail ends of my misfortune, you'd have a better grasp of the passing time --
... Hmph.

[INVITE TO PARTY/TROLL/THROW A BLOND AT HIM?]

[ Have a pat on the arm. ]
Are you okay?

[this stare is so blank. SO BLANK- Nevermind] I've been here a while.
[... pulls his arm away to brush some hair out of his face] Shouldn't you be paying attention to where you're going when in a new area?
[yea, he's fine. 8(;;]

Oh, well this is a root town right? I thought they were supposed to be safe?
[ Good. Her lass scampers can be deadly. ]
Anyway, I'm Jade! You are...?

[but needling Richter, what with his new acquaintance and all?]
[we just can't pass that up.]
Oh, I'm willing to hazard that I could think of other unexpected potential accidents --

[ Shrug. Oh hey look there's a blond right there. How lucky are you? ]
Hi?

No, his dignity won't let him but he's going to edge away from you both just a little bit]
[to Kain;] Somehow, that doesn't surprise me, Kain. [To Jade;] And it shouldn't be something you brush off so easily.

A good day to you, my lady ...?
[alas, he's missed your name, my dear. please to fill in for the dragon knight trying to mind his manners --?]
[-- and that edging away is noted, O Richter, with a bit of a lifted brow ~]
Still with the desire to avoid my presence, I see. Did I sting you that much?

My name is Jade.
[ Yeah Richter! She sees your little movement too. How mean. Jade won't bite. She can't say anything about the other guy though. ]
Sooooo! How long have you two been here?
Reply
[he pauses to think before replying Jade's question] It's been two months, give or take a day or two.

And yourself?
