No good, they don't have... How does this even work? I'll stay away from it for now...

I'm not familiar with... any of those unusual items, either.

[He's usually forbidden from touching any of that since all of those microwave exploding incidents.]

[dragoon_pride]

Not that I know of, offhand, but... it's difficult to avoid it. I suppose unless you left the village entirely.

[voice]

[puppet_paladin]

Doing so sounds inconvenient, unless the very thought of machines makes you sick.

[dragoon_pride]

Well... the mountains are worth staying at on occasion.

[voice]

[puppet_paladin]

Perhaps on occasion, but staying there permanently would be impratical and hurt people's feelings.

...I wouldn't forever. Besides, I'd not want to leave Rydia. Actually... she comes with me now, when I feel I must go out there.

[voice]

[puppet_paladin]

That's reassuring. She'd know when to bring you back, at least. And she can do so extremely quickly.

[dragoon_pride]
