[It's midafternoon, and Simon is down by the river, half-hidden under one of the bridges with drill in hand and his goggles lit. Lining the side of the bank are a collection of little stone statues, resembling these here. Not all of them are Kamina, of course; these all resemble people he knew who have been sent home, including but not limited to

[Those floating thought bubbles are enough to attract Ratatosk's attention, and he leans over the bridge with a smirk to see just who they're coming from. Once he spots their source and what he's up to, that smirk just grows even wider.]

Those ugly things aren't going to make anyone come back. If I were them, I'd stay away just to avoid having to look at those.

It's not like I have anything better to do.

...You're cruel to people when you're bored?

[ratatosk_knight]

If you think this is being cruel, you're even more naive than he is.

Insulting someone, bothering them when they don't want you to... what would you call it?

[Action]

[ratatosk_knight]

Being bored, just like you said.

...I don't have anything to say to someone like you, then.

[ratatosk_knight]

You'd rather talk to him, just like everyone else.

[dawndigger]

...Him?

[ratatosk_knight]

That green-eyed wimp.

[dawndigger]

Green-eyed... [Wait a minute.] Do you... have a twin or something...?

[Action]

[ratatosk_knight]

[...That sounds awkward and messed up.]

So you're... um... Emil. Or with him. [That was his name, wasn't it?]

[Action]

[ratatosk_knight]

[You don't know the half of it.]

I'm Ratatosk, not Emil.

[Action]

[dawndigger]

[...S-so confusing.]

Is that why you're so angry...?

[ratatosk_knight]

That's part of it-- the other part is being stuck here away from Marta and my world.
