[GOOD DAY TO YOU, MAYFIELD! Did you notice a distinct lack of Miakis in your lives in recent weeks, while she was dead, transformed into a dragon horse, and then droned, all in rapid succession? Of course you did~ No need to worry, because she's back, bitches.She's feeling a little blue due to recent events, but cheering up after a bad day (or,

I think I'm having a bad year. I think it warrants something fun~. Probably to do with alcohol~~.

[sting_like_a]

Well, we just changed to a new year on the calendar, right? So... yeah, me too.

I don't drink very often, but alcohol is sounding better and better~

[ergaleomancer]

It is precisely how I've survived as long as I have in this town~. That and my Darling.

[sting_like_a]

Yeah, having my hubby around helps a lot! Otherwise, I just get through this stuff by... I dunno, being my amazing self, I guess~

[ergaleomancer]

[She laughs, and...it doesn't really sound that stable.]

You're almost as confident as me~.

[sting_like_a]

Uh... [The laughter unsettles her a bit, but she tries to laugh it off.] Well, in my line of work, you kinda need to be confident in your skills~

[ergaleomancer]

As in mine~. What do you do?

[sting_like_a]

I'm a Queen's Knight~! [You can just hear the pride in her voice. Miakis loves her job.] We serve as bodyguards to the royal family. I've been looking after the Prin--er, Queen now, eheh... since she was a baby~

[ergaleomancer]

Oh, how very noble. My father is the High Ergaleomancer to the Queen~ I know well about duty and service to one's country. I am expected to replace him...

[sting_like_a]

I dunno what an ergaleowhatsit is, but that sounds like a pretty heavy responsibility! It's a good feeling, though, serving your homeland~

[ergaleomancer]

It's...[Theta falters for a moment and decides on laziness.] A long story, but yes, very heavy responsibility; he bears it well, though, and I'm not afraid of it.

[sting_like_a]

That's good, then! I grew up wanting to join the Dragon Cavalry... but I ended up with the knights instead, and I couldn't be happier~ It's a lot of work, but I can't imagine myself doing anything else!

[ergaleomancer]

I think....by the time we make our way free of this place...I'll be doing something different...

[sting_like_a]

Ehh, really? Like what?

[ergaleomancer]

I'm honestly not certain as yet. But when we break loose of this place between worlds, I intend to take a different path, rather than the path to my home dimension. It's an important job waiting for me back home, but not so impossible that it couldn't be done by someone else qualified. I don't...have much else besides that tying me to that place. Here, on the other hand...

[sting_like_a]

Oh...

I can't not go home. I'd miss Falena and my friends too much. But... I'd miss all my friends from Mayfield, too, if I went back home. It kinda sucks.
