That went by more ordinarily than I expected it would.

[ "That" being Valentine's Day, naturally. Sylvia had expected something to happen, but as far as she knew, nothing had. In any event, she focuses on the journal after that side comment. ]A question for you, Luceti. How many of you are sword wielders? Any type counts. I realized there must be

[hotheadedidiot]

A sword wielder, huh? Well, I use a sword!

[Voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

Well, Dymlos is...

[Voice]

[vanhossen]

[ . . . ]

Is?

[Voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

...Maybe it'd be easier to just show you! Dymlos is kinda hard to explain...

[Voice]

[vanhossen]

Ahh. That sounds like a plan. I'd love to see Dymlos.

[Voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

Then, uhh... How about we meet in the barracks, then? I could show you what he can do there!

[Voice]

[vanhossen]

The barracks are good. Are we meeting now?

[Voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

Are you available now?

[Voice]

[vanhossen]

Of course. I asked in case I'd be inconveniencing you.

[Voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

Nah, it's not an inconvenience at all! I'll be there!

[Voice]

[vanhossen]

Then, as will I.

[ So excite. She'll head for the barracks immediately. And for a good measure, she'll bring her own sword with her. Doo doo doo, do you come on time, Stahn? ]

[Voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

[You must be confusing him for other JRPG heroes.

...Okay no they're all about the same. BUT HE IS GOING TO TRY HIS DARNEDEST TO GET THERE ON TIME, BOOKING OUT THE DOOR AS FAST AS HE CAN. But the barracks are far, far away from his house, so it takes him time to get there. So don't mind if he's a few minutes late, but at least when he does show up, he looks considerably out of breath, like someone who has been running for quite a while.]

[Action]

[vanhossen]

[ YEAH, HE'D BETTER. The good part is that they really don't live that far away from each other, so there is little to no waiting on Sylvia's part. ]

You're here.

[ She looks at Stahn with a quirked brow, recognizing him from the man on the journal. Based on this, she observes the obvious! ]

And you ran the whole way.

[Action]

[hotheadedidiot]

[He exhales a deep breath.]

Y... Yeah... Haah... I didn't wanna keep you waiting on my account, so I ran here as fast as I could...! And besides... A little exercise never hurt anybody, right?

[Action]

[vanhossen]

[ She nods, a small smile gracing her features. ]

Right. The good news is that I hardly waited.

[Action]

[hotheadedidiot]

[Well, once he catches his breath, he gets a good look at her now...

Definitely the same girl from the journal, but... she seems a lot more... something. Stahn can't quite discern what, but he likes it.]

Huh... Really? Well, that's good!
