Sometimes the cards fall exactly where you want them. Those moments are the most fun!

@Meta

I take it then that you like to Gamble?

*I start to make my way into the castle*

If you had to guess.

@Meta

Well if he can't put his finger on it, it must've been a pretty weird fight.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Laughs, and then looks up at the castle*
Safe to say this is our target?

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*stares at the building*

@Zealz

It's actually amazing, the magical presence here... It's incredibly overwhelming. I felt it earlier while we were outside of town, but I thought that was just the forest. But here... It feels like there's just energy everywhere...

*The shadows from before begin to catch up to us from behind and it seems from all around the castle begins to become shrouded by this darkness.*

We should probably head in... Also... I think it's fine to put me down now...

*I look to Baron*

*Smiles and spins a dagger in my hand*
I have family who've been waiting a long time for me.

@Meta

*Noct and I watch you spin your dagger*

You know... I said you were small and cute and that roses have thorns and all that... But you come off as awfully intimidating sometimes.

*As I say that we come closer to the castle, its ruined structure magically transforms to how it was before the collapse of the kingdom we've visited and another scene regales us of the girl, dressed in fine clothes and a crown attop her head. Unlike the silouhettes before, these felt more real, more tangible, more like they were there. She ran into the building with a number of knights escorting her, but before she entered the castle, she looked back to the ruined city beyond the gates as if looking for someone.*

That's a neat perk!

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I think that's a good way to put it. It's how I look at it, anyway.

@Meta

Interesting. Since you asked Baron about his family, what about you? Is there anyone waiting on you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Family is special because they take care of and love each other. You don’t have to be related to be family, but when you are you usually get those relationships built-in.

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Meta>

We are connected. How? I do not know, but I always have a general idea of where they are.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Family is different with everyone, but I would say that in my experience it is those of kin or close relationship who care and watch for each other. Without any need to ask.
*looks at you while walking*
I would say you and your bird friend would be considered family.

@Zealz

*I look at Noct and Noct looks at me before we both turn to you two*

Then that means anyone can be family but the bond has to be deep enough?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Do you want the practical answer or the happier one?

@Meta

Hmm... How about, your answer.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I mean, you do share blood.

@Meta

Is that something special? Personally I never really understood it. The person who is related to you is at the end of the day still a person. Or is it because of that you have some sort of unspoken bond?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Yeah, I know what you mean. What do you want to know?

@Meta

I dunno... I mean, what makes family different from other people?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

That got heavy quickly.

@Meta

Oh? Sorry. I didn't mean it in that way. You see, I didn't really have a family, I had teachers but not really parents - if that makes any sense?
