[Hi Somarium. Feed your daily troll? ♥

He's looking rather amused, but what else is new? Have a tap tap tap of fingers on what is presumably a desk, out of view, and then--]

My, how concerning.

[The ice? The floating mountain being trapped as it is?

Oh no. Of course not.]I have yet to hear of any intrepid adventurers setting off to search out

[redcladidealist]

Who says no one's looking? Maybe they just haven't told you.

[charientisms]

And would you say someone is, sir?

It is rather peculiar, you see. I would have presumed a rescue to require more than a single person, and yet...not a single request for assistance have I seen. And as well, a success or a failure would most certainly be shared, wouldn't you say?

[And he chuckles, unwrapping a piece of candy.

Crinkle

crinkle]

So what would you say? Would it be worth presuming such a thing, when it might not be true at all?

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd scowls.] I don't know about anyone else, but I'm looking. I haven't asked for help because I don't know if I need help yet. Dwarven vow number four: Don't depend on others. Walk on your own two feet.

[charientisms]

Dwarfed by your own vows? Ah, curious, curious.

And yet, looking is not the same as finding, now is it?

[redcladidealist]

[A flash of confusion creases Lloyd's face.] Huh? What's that supposed to mean?

[He shakes his head.] Maybe it's not, but you can't find someone if you don't look for them first.

[charientisms]

I meant precisely what I said! It is generally bad form to do otherwise, you know~

[...He smiiiiiles, cheerful, and sticks the candy into his mouth. And then, clearly, as if there were no candy in his mouth, he continues--]

And your intent, sir?

[redcladidealist]

[Is this guy being deliberately irritating? Because Lloyd is beginning to suspect he is.] But that doesn't make sense. A vow doesn't make me a dwarf. I was just raised by a dwarf.

[Lloyd straightens up, the very figure of determination.] I intend to find that woman and help her if I can.

[charientisms]

[Yes. Yes he is. And a chuckle.]

Raised to be dwarfed by said vows, quite!

[A nod.]

Yes, yes, and beyond that? If you have thought that far, that is?

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd folds his arms and scoffs.] You can't "dwarf" someone. That's not how things work. You either are a dwarf, or you aren't. Sheesh. And people say I don't pay attention in school.

How am I supposed to know until I find out what's wrong?

[charientisms]

[...Oh he is so amused.]

You certainly cannot dwarf anyone, you are correct!

Ah~ So in other words, you have not a single idea. I see!

[redcladidealist]

Of course not. [Finally. Lloyd had been beginning to think this guy would never get it.] That wouldn't make sense at all.

H-hey! That's not what I said! I've got plenty of ideas! I just need to know what I'm up against first before I'll know which one to use!

[charientisms]

[A thoughtful look.]

...You are entirely correct! It would make no sense at all.

[...Smirk.]

Perhaps as little sense as single-handedly, and without a plan in the least, attempting to find our unusual mistress of dreams?

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd has no idea just how much he's been insulted. Or how much he insulted himself.]

[Hotly.] It's better than standing around doing nothing! What are you going to do?

[charientisms]

[All as planned. And a floppy sleeve wave at the screen.]

Certainly not what you yourself are planning! Nor do I plan to stand around and do nothing at all.

Why, that does sound dull, does it not?

[redcladidealist]

[The guy didn't answer his question. Lloyd opens his mouth, about to demand a real response, but then he stops and rethinks that plan.]

Why am I even talking to you?

[charientisms]

[Smiiiiile.]

So very inquisitive, you need me to answer for your own actions? A poor habit, that!
