<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Noct! It's your turn to shine. Catch us some small game would ya pal?

*Noct hoots and flies off*

He'll be back with rabbits, squirrels, or if we're real unlucky... Rats... But nonetheless he'll find something for us to eat.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Glances at Lily and then back at you a handful of times*
Did you want to trade?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Incredulously*
Gio!

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

You need my help to pick up a rock! His owl brings him food!

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Ahahaha! Tempting, but I make it a point not to take a girl who's already spoken for.

*I bow towards the two of you*

That and... Noct is a good friend of mine... If only you could hear his voice as I could. He's old and wise and he likes to tease... He's like that one cool uncle you want to always hangout with.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

You can understand him? What has he been saying?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Oh things like...

*I start imitating his voice which sounds like a raspy old man*

"They seem nice." and "She's a looker and he's a daring hero kind of like the people we used to know" and...

*I pause for a moment and looked at Lily and then looked away with a tint of red around my cheeks*

... I'd rather not say the other things he said, I can even hear him right now... He's laughing his ass off...

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Sticks out my tongue playfully*
I'll be sure to give 'em an eyeful next time he's around.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Well I'm sure the pervy old man in him would love that... And Gio, you might not think of yourself as a hero, but Noct hasn't been wrong about a person's character too often. Maybe he sees something in you that you don't. Maybe that's why Lily here always sticks around you haha!

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Snorts*
And to eat my soul when I'm not looking. Besides, heroes die for a cause they believe in. Me? I'm content just sticking around for a while.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*I sat down on one of the earthen chairs and looked at Gio with my chin resting on my fist*

Perhaps you've not yet found your cause. Or perhaps you have and haven't realized it yet. The very fact that you're open to helping people - and I know you are or you would've never helped me - makes you a hero. Even if it's a small gesture, small things can set events that are much larger than life.

*I then look to Lily*

I'm sure your friend here, would agree. With everything you say, I bet you the wealth of all the worlds that you wouldn't want her to leave your side... Not for real.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Sits down myself and leans back*
We're a team. I'm sure you can understand that yourself.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Mhm. I can... Before I came here I was with a number of heroes... The last of the great heroes that would fight against the darkness. You remind me of one of them. Probably why Noct likes the two of you.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Looks down*
We've come across many heroes like those along our journey. Almost too many to count...

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Sorry if I've stirred some unsavory memories. I try to remember as how they were before their demise... Their smiles, their hopes, their dreams. I'm alive... They're not... So I console myself in trying to make sure their dreams come true.

*I lean back and look up into the sky*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

You humans get so gloomy. Time only moves in one direction most of the time, so might as well look that way!

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*I turn my head to face Lily*

That's one way of looking at it. I guess we humans just get real sentimental. I mean we may not live as long as elves and dwarves but when we care about something... Well I guess we just pour our hearts out into it.

*Noct comes back with a rabbit in between his talons, I stand up and walk over to him*

Good job partner! Let's get a rabbit stew going. Hopefully, you guys have other things in your bag for a stew. If not we'll just have roasted rabbit... Which isn't that good, but it'll keep going.
