Thirty-Eight - [Action]

[grinnvalesti]

[Sigmund is standing outside the Liberation Lodge, arms folded and thinking as he watches the meteors fall. His journal is off to the side, and underneath it are some notes about the recent venture to the tunnels - names he can remember, skills, ideas for trying to organize those who are content to be disorganized. He hasn't found an idea that he

[Have an Edward to come out and stargaze with him, so to speak. He can't recall ever seeing such a phenomenon, so he's kind of amazed and a little worried, himself. Fire isn't exactly his favourite element, after all.]

...My lord? Are you alright?

[grinnvalesti]

[Sigmund looks at him briefly before returning his attention to the meteors.]

I'm fine, Edward. Just thinking. How fare you?

[vermified]

[Edward steps up to lean against the wall beside him.]

I'm alright. Confused, a little, but otherwise...

[grinnvalesti]

Confused?

[vermified]

[He gestures towards the sky.] I've never seen this before.

[grinnvalesti]

[Sigmund nods.] One might assume that Veros keeps things like this from happening back home. I'm not sure what it is, myself.

[vermified]

Veros? [Edward frowns slightly, eyes wandering down to the back of his hand.] I wonder if he did...

[grinnvalesti]

[Sigmund is concerned with that look, Edward.] You think he wouldn't have.

[vermified]

[Sorry, Sig, :c] ...Because he doesn't really care about us.

[grinnvalesti]

[You won't get away with it that easily!] ...Not about us, no. There must have been some way to prevent these, if he was not responsible for it.

[vermified]

[But he can still try!] Perhaps the world itself has a barrier of some kind, much like the barrier here.

[grinnvalesti]

[Try your hardest, waifu.] Hmmm... It would have needed to surround the moon as well, or the first aristo would have never made it to the moon.

[vermified]

[You know he will.] ...The lunar passage... is that legend really true?

[grinnvalesti]

[Sigmund is patient.] As far as I am aware, it is. One human was able to make contact with Veros, beginning the cycle we both know today. However, records of the first aristo are difficult to find, even for the most connected of aristos today.

[vermified]

[It won't be easy.] Did humans have lunaglyphs back then? I heard the legend once, long ago, but I admit I had no interest in old stories about the noblemen.

[grinnvalesti]

[Does he ever do anything easy?]

[Sigmund shakes his head.] They did not. It was the first aristo who established the pact that began the tradition of Lunar Rites. There isn't much more to tell aside from that.
