[Anyone passing by house #21 will find Vyse camping out on the front lawn. Well, it's not as elaborate as camping, but he's stocked up on some food and has made himself quite comfortable on the grass.

Vyse is a man of his word and, as a follow-up of this conversation, he is waiting outside Fina's house until Ramirez lets him in. While he's here,

[Well hi there, boss. You get this actionderp heading up into town from CH3, planning on gathering some stuff for the raft - when he sees Vyse just... sprawled on the lawn. wthboss?]

Hey Vyse, what's going on? What're you doing with all... [Have a vague motion to the pile of Stuff there.] All that?

[No need to look so surprised, Sora. A guy can chill on someone else's lawn when he wants to, right? ... Uh.]

Oh, hey Sora. I'm uh... Waiting, I guess. Do you want the long story or the short one?

[valorandwisdom]

[It makes you look like a creeper, boss. Now this he's gotta hear - so Sora just sits right on down on the grass in front of Vyse, like a little kid at storytime.]

Long! Come on, short one's no fun.

[Sora's looking visibly worn out, tired and just kind of under it, though his energy seems to be the same as ever - or at least not noticeably different.]

[Being worn out isn't exactly a new thing in Luceti. It's sort of a pattern that every so often, every single resident becomes worn out. This village is a great source for stress, after all. So long as Sora's still the same old energetic guy he always is, Vyse won't comment on it.]

Well... Fina was returned by the Malnosso a few days ago. She's fine, but she'll need some time to recover. Ramirez, her childhood friend, is watching over her right now. He won't let anyone else in to see her, including me. So I told him I'd wait here until he thinks she's fit to see me.

[He pauses, then starts to chuckle.] It sounds a lot more insane when I try to explain it.

[targetprime]

[You do realize he's not going to cave by tomorrow, right?]

[silviteadvocate]

[ Ramirez has been on the receiving end of this face ever since Fina found his entry refushing any visitors. And any attempts to slip outside to see the Blue Rogue was met with stern opposition from Ramirez, so the only thing she can do is wait until these boys end their silly standoff. ]

[targetprime]

[Oh Fina. You will appreciate his cockblocking protective maneuvers one day.]

[winged_rogue]

[He expected as much, really. But you know what, Ramirez? Whenever you look out the window, Vyse will wave at you. Just to let you know that yes, he is still there. And no, he isn't getting tired of this in the slightest. His dedication to Fina is just that powerful.]

[It's rather hard to miss his buddy just sitting out there on his neighbor's lawn like that. Okay, so Vyse is being weird, that's nothing new. But when he looks out a couple of hours later and Vyse is STILL there, it's time to go see what's going on.]

Are you waiting for someone to let you in?

[winged_rogue]

[He looks up when Emil approaches, a helpless smile tugging at his lips.]

Something like that, yeah.

[ratatosk_knight]

Here, I can go get my journal and call for Minato...

[winged_rogue]

No, it's fine. I'm waiting for Ramirez. [He casts a quick glance at the house, where the Silvite boy is obviously still hiding away, before looking up at Emil again.] But thanks anyway.
