C'mon, let's get started already. The funeral has passed; no heir's been named. I'm getting bored waiting on you lot to do something.

Also, I get the feeling that while it's chilly now, we haven't seen the worst of this weather yet. If it snows...

Get started with what?

Also, what's wrong with snow? I think some change in the atmosphere would be nice.

[to_memory]

A war, of course.

Fire and ice don't play well together, buddy.

[gynophobe]

... it's nice to see people optimistic about the future of the kingdom.

I realize, but what does that have to do with you?

[to_memory]

Hey, a guy's gotta eat.

I like fire, and when I can't play with it, it puts a damper on my spirits. Plus? I just hate the cold in general.

[gynophobe]

That's relevant to a possible war?

Hm, I agree with you on the dislike for the cold, but shouldn't that make you appreciate the warmer seasons?

[to_memory]

I'm a mercenary. Make sense?

Oh, I like the warmer seasons well enough. But as it's the winter, there's a bit of a problem~

[gynophobe]

Oh! Right, that does make sense. I'm a knight myself, though I can't say I'm looking forward to any fighting.

Have you looked into taking a vacation some place warmer? Surely there isn't anything keeping you here.

[to_memory]

If I can't even get food, what makes you think I've got the time and money to go on a vacation?

1/2

[gynophobe]

Whoa! I guess I spoke without thinking.

[gynophobe]

Well, I'm sure you can find jobs to do around the city. Have you thought of enlisting in the military?

[to_memory]

I've tried before, but it just didn't sit well with me. I'll join again if nothing comes up soon, but I'd rather just stay a regular mercenary.

[gynophobe]

Sounds like hard work. Well, how about this: if I need anything done, I'll contact you first. Is that okay?

[to_memory]

You got it. Your name, mister?

[gynophobe]

I'm Guy. Yourself?

And even if I don't have anything that needs doing, I'm sure my wallet can stand me treating you to a drink sometimes. No harm in making friends, right?

[to_memory]

Axel - don't forget it.

I can see this being the start of a beautiful friendship. If you handle the drinks, I'll let you enjoy a bit of a fireworks show. Deal?

[gynophobe]

That's an interesting name. I won't forget it.

... I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but sure, I don't mind buying drinks. Have you been to the 7th Heaven yet? It's a nice spot. Feels I've been there a lot lately.
