[Fourth wall event]

I can not understand why, should they wish us to survive, the scientists would see fit to overpopulate the city.

So great a number... there are hardly enough resources to provide for us all, surely?

Perhaps they wish you to starve.

[dynast_daughter]

But that would defeat their objective, at least, what we believe to be their-

Forgive me, I do not know your name.

[bell_bound]

It does not concern me.

And my name does not concern you, but if you must know - I am Mogget.

[dynast_daughter]

...Mogget?

Then, what does concern you?

[bell_bound]

Hmm. Right now, I would like some fish.

[dynast_daughter]

...Oh?

You should find plenty in the lake, if you have the means to catch them.

[bell_bound]

Oh, I do. A keen eye and a swift paw should be enough. That will give me something to do in this ugly city.

[dynast_daughter]

Be cautious as you go. Fiends also lurk by the lake, and are known to attack on occasion. In this city, it does well to have the means to defend oneself.

I wish you well in your search, nonetheless.

[bell_bound]

Fiends... If I see anything likely to attack me, at least I have the luxury of running away.

You are very polite, human. The way you speak... What is your bloodline?

[dynast_daughter]

I am descended from the Dynast-King, Queen of a country known as Dalmasca, in my own world.

...Is my status so obvious?

[bell_bound]

Of course, royal blood.

To me, yes.

[dynast_daughter]

And... your own status?

I am guessing it is not too far-fetched to assume you are not hume, since you refer to me as such?

[bell_bound]

An admirable deduction. You show greater intelligence than the humans I am normally accustomed to.

As for me... I was once many things, but now I am only several. If you see a white cat fishing at the lake, that would be me.

[dynast_daughter]

Thank you.

... I can say the same is true of myself, and many others trapped in this city. Very well then, I shall pay attention should I head that way.
