[enigmaster]

"Well... Sorta, yeah. It's a whole thing and... there's like this super special strong one that's powerful enough. They have to pray at every temple so they're strong enough to summon that one."

[agoodname]

So if that defeats Sin, then why is Sin still here?

[enigmaster]

"Well--" [She can't get into that, though, as Edward's over soon. Just, gently tapping her arm to get her attention.] Um... Sorry, we... [He glances Oswald's way, before averting his eyes, almost skittish. Like he's afraid of making eye contact.] We, ah, have to go over our travel plans, still... "Oh! Right, right. Sorry, we'll have to talk more later."

[agoodname]

[Oswald's eyes narrow slightly at that glance--then how he looks away.

Huh.

That's...interesting.]

...yes, I believe we shall.

[he'll let them go do that...for now. Before he finds a way out of Besaid via Butch informing him of a possible trip to the big city]

[enigmaster]

[Butch sure will inform him of that. Good thing, too, because some of the other villagers aren't so keen on Oswald right now, for going where he's not supposed to. I'm sure he's terribly broken up over it. But everyone will be outside in the evening. There's a campfire and everyone's just hanging around the village center. As is that summoner. Currently, he's off on his own, just. Looking at the fire, from a slight distance.]

[agoodname]

[....huh. Well, all the more reason to avoid the village center, now isn't it.

He'll head over there, then, pausing as he steps up next to him]

Is this seat taken?

[enigmaster]

[He blinks and looks up. Before, again, his eyes kind of dart away.] Um... no.

[agoodname]

Thank you.

[and leaning on his cane, he'll lower himself down to sit next to him]

That was a rather impressive little trick earlier, with the giant bird.

[enigmaster]

Ah... you think so? [He goes a bit red. Just... staring into the fire, still.] It was, um... my first summoning, so... I'm just glad it went okay.

[agoodname]

I certainly thought it went quite well. Rather surprising for me personally, but impressive all the same.

[enigmaster]

Um... So, ah... Can I ask... [he looks back over at Oswald, very carefully.] Why were you there? In the temple...?

[agoodname]

Oh, that? Well, Butch was getting all concerned, so I came to see what the fuss was about. I figured if you'd been there for over a day, you also needed a clean change of clothes and a meal, so I was hoping to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

[enigmaster]

[He tilts his head, frowning.] That's all...?

[agoodname]

What other reason would there be?

[enigmaster]

I don't know. People don't usually break tradition and go further into the temple just... for that. [...] You... washed up on shore, right? I think Butch mentioned something like that...

[agoodname]

Yes. But I must admit that I also know nothing of those traditions, so it wasn't much of a jump for me to dismiss them.

[enigmaster]

You don't? I thought everyone knew about the taboos. Are you from somewhere very remote...?

[agoodname]

No, the boat I was on was attacked by Sin. Apparently that's why I don't remember anything about Spira.

[enigmaster]

Oh.

[He frowns, at that, but looks at Oswald properly now.]

Nothing at all?

[agoodname]

Not much of anything. Or, well...[he trails off a bit, glancing at him sidelong, conspiratorially] ...except for what I'm apparently not supposed to talk about.

[enigmaster]

Huh? [He blinks, leaning in closer immediately. Secrets???] What's that?

[agoodname]

Apparently I'm not supposed to tell anyone that I'm from Zanarkand.

[enigmaster]

[ . . . ]

2/2

[enigmaster]

Y-You're from where?

[agoodname]

Zanarkand.
