(Break has, more or less, commandeered a rather miscellaneous bench and decorated it with a tablecloth. Admittedly, it's a rather plain tablecloth, but it is a tablecloth nonetheless. Aside from the tablecloth, there are some plates (complete with cake) on the table. The rest, however - that is, a couple of empty saucers, a couple of teacups, you

[ Why hello there, fellow person in... this area. That they're in. AHEM, Duke shall be stumbling across Break, though in a completely non-literal manner. Since this is probably one of the odder things he's come across (which wasn't difficult, really, other than this the most interesting was a cat telling people to get off its lawn), he's going to stop and stare. ]

(Oh, come now. A man with a tea set on the top of his head can't be that strange to see, not when one considers the sprouting of wings, surely? Maybe? Regardless, Break doesn't seem to find it remotely strange and you should just be glad it's not a candleabra.

He is quite used to stares and odd looks, though, so when he notices the Duke, he just grins. It may or may not be creepy.

Picking up a teacup, he does finally speak.)

Care for some tea? It's a nice day, after all.

[ Duke's not a people person, okay. Sob. Most things seem strange to him, and he would be glad but... Well, he can't. He doesn't know what a candlebra is or what Break would do with it.

Sadly, Duke's creep-proof so the creepiness... bounces off, or uh. The potential creepiness bounces off. ]

Hm. ... Very well.[ So he'll bite, and take a seat at the bench. ]

(Break's not really a people person, either. Or rather, he has a rather unique approach to dealing with them. Still! company is company; a lone tea party would be rather pathetic now, wouldn't it?

Laying the cups and saucers that were on his head onto the bench, he pours two cups of tea, and helps himself to some cake.)

I don't believe we've met.

[ Theeen, taking his cup. is this tea imaginary For the moment he'll ignore the cake, instead he'll opt to stare into his cup. ]

No, perhaps not. [ This is Duke being social. ] How long has it been since you arrived?

[Action]

[honeymilkandtea]

(Not at all, Break's not quite that mad.)

Oh, not long at all. Apparently, it's rather difficult to leave but I must admit, it's certainly more accommodating than the last place I inhabited that was supposedly rather difficult to leave.

I'm Xerxes Break. You are?

[Action]

[formerhero]

...? [ Yes, that's a valid response. Or so Vesperia claims. ]

Xerxes? That is a most unusual name.

[Action]

[honeymilkandtea]

Oh. I imagine it's no-where that you would know of.

It's not at all unusual where I'm from.

[Action]

[formerhero]

I see. And how is it you escaped from your former captivity?

[Action]

[honeymilkandtea]

(Just a moment, he's going to eat some more cake. Slight sweet tooth, you see.)

I made a promise ♥

[Action]

[formerhero]

Hn.

[Action]

[honeymilkandtea]

Yes?

If it's regarding the matter of leaving here, that method won't work.

[Action]

[formerhero]

I have no delusions of that, such a barrier can not be broken through normal means.

[Action]

[honeymilkandtea]

Oh, no, quite. But then, of course, what are 'normal means', hmm?

[Action]

[formerhero]

It is the power that has been granted to every individual here, a power unique to their world. Their abilities are the means, and not one has managed to so much as dent the barrier.

[Action]

[honeymilkandtea]

There's such a preoccupation with this barrier.
