I've a proposition to make.

I've considered the situatuon, and believe that a truce would be to our mutual benefit. I don't have personal quarrels with any of you, so I see no reason to continue fighting over a matter that we presently have no means to change.. [...Dist and Asch excluded. You're on notice, traitors.] All of our energy would be better spent searching for means to deal with the current situation. I would also like to remind you that I've been here for some length of time, and have not done harm to any of you, despite being assaulted more than once. [Asch.] Take it as a measure of my sincerity.

However, if you reject me now, I will not be offering again; and the next person among you to attack me [Asch.] will be dealt with severely and without mercy. I don't know what you could hope to accomplish with such actions, apart from uselessly antagonizing me. I am still entitled to defend myself.

My suggestion is to consider this offer carefully. I can be a valuable ally to you, or a dangerous enemy. The choice will be your own.

Are there any doctors here with specialist knowledge of toxins?

If a man wanted to find productive employment in this village, where might he begin looking? Pay is obviously impossible, but I'm willing to work for personal satisfaction and perhaps a favor or two later.

I have twelve years of service as a military officer, and a decade of experience in sword instruction. I've been told I'm also a fair cook, and a talented musician. I can play the piano; and the pipe organ, though I doubt this village has one available.

[Now how does he say this without sounding odd.]

I am, also. Well, now I am.

[faterecanted]

And you were not before?

voice

[falenandawn]

Before the war back home happened, I wasn't any official part of the military, though I was taught how to fight by my father and the knights.

[faterecanted]

The way you speak about them, these events seem... quite recent.

voice

[falenandawn]

.....They were.

It's a bit of a long story, honestly.

voice

[faterecanted]

What does an unemployed soldier have, if not time for long stories?

[falenandawn]

The war started about a year before my first arrival in Luceti. When I first came here, it was before the war had ended, though we had managed to close in on the capital. Recently, though, I went home and things finally came to a close, though it had only been a short time before I was dragged back here.

So you could say it is both recent and... less so. [Time in Luceti what is it. And he is not going to go into how exactly involved he was, though from the way he talks it might seem like he's attempting to create a personal distance where there really is none.] It's somewhat confusing, with how this place works.

[faterecanted]

You left and returned again? And while you were gone, did you...remember this place?

[That... could be a problem in regards to the new plans Van is slowly hatching...]

[falenandawn]

No...... I had a strange feeling that I forgot something, but nothing else. I'd imagine it's a safety measure of the Malnosso to not interfere with our worlds.

[faterecanted]

Or for some other purpose...

[falenandawn]

Perhaps, but I wouldn't know if it was. But the information I gained about my future during my time here I did not remember when I returned home.

[faterecanted]

As little as I agree with depending on knowledge of the future... I have to wonder if there's a way around this.

[falenandawn]

I don't know.... but if there was, I think I'd rather remember the people here, personally.

[faterecanted]

It's something to think about, certainly. [And he will be, at great length. Obsessively.]

[falenandawn]

Indeed.....

So you are getting bored here, then? [That's the only reason Frey can think of for trying to find a job, when there is no currency. He himself was considering seeking one once he decided to stop attending school.]

[faterecanted]

If I'm to have all this free time, it seems best to do something productive with it.

[falenandawn]

I agree. This place can be maddening when you lack things to do.

[faterecanted]

A problem I hope to solve shortly.

[falenandawn]

I wish you luck at that.
