Everyone here seems to be a great, noble hero, or else a powerful villain, or else someone who has to save the world, or at the very least someone famous and important. I'm not even that important in my hometown, let alone my country or world

I am just as small as you, if it makes you feel better...

[stripping]

That can't be right. You're at least someone important where you are.

[priestessbound]

Not...really? I am the daughter of someone important, but only on a very small scale. I mean, aside from our name being attached to the inn, no one knows me.

[stripping]

You're still more important than me. You'll become head of the inn one day, I'll just be a monk.

Important things could happen to you, even. I know that's not the case for me.

...Wait you did all that IRL?

[stripping]

Yes. This isn't actually a game-related forum.

((Oh, and I was told a Guileastos might app here soon~))

I know I know, okay? What I'm trying to say is that even if you're trying, that alone means a lot. Fame is not a virtue or something worthwhile, I'd rather be unnoticed a lot of the time - and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with what you've actually done. If I had an EXP for every overblown reputation I ran across I'd hit the max level cap.

It's what you do to help others that matters, what you go out of your way to help with, even if you don't succeed.

[stripping]

That's - I didn't think of it that way before.

Thank you.

[steelisblood]

At least you can have an existence of your own choosing.

[stripping]

That isn't really saying much.

I'm sorry, Archer. I don't know how I'm supposed to help you.

[steelisblood]

No one can, and besides, I'm not worth trying for.

[stripping]

Don't say that! You think I want to let you suffer that fate for all eternity? You don't deserve that!
