"Why of course I am that great, I'd be surprised for no one to recognize it!"
Crystal
*Hitoshi gives a half-hearted toast with her mostly-drank beer mug, just to be polite. She puts her cup and her bowl back on the stall, and... Just kinda exists for a bit, watching the people go by, but more importantly, listening into the various sounds one could hear in this bustling city when your hearing is as refined as hers. ~~900% hearing increase is gr8~~

She can hear Zeras' and Ralki's heartbeat... Especially now that Ralki's ego is being raised even higher that it already is, which caused it to speed up a little. She can hear the soft clinking of someone ruffling through pockets for money. Whether it's a pickpocket or just someone buying produce from a store, Hitoshi can't quite tell, although judging by the lack of supporting speech she assumes the former. The brutal training she had instilled on herself has definitely paid off.*

*Back to the current situation. Hitoshi chuckles a little at the display between Zeras and Ralki, and adjusts her ponytail a little more. Hitoshi would've never worn a ponytail, or even had long hair back before **I t** Happened, but considering it actually looks quite nice on her... May as well try to look at least somewhat presentable, right?

Yeah, Ralki... What's she been doing since that... Thing?*
Dorothy
"So, uhh... What have you been up to, Ralki?"
Jason
"Hmm... I don't think I've been adventuring much since, sadly. But I have learnt some new spells! And can cast 2 at a time, *That was so difficult*"
Dorothy
"Wow... Nice job! Still can't do that myself..."
Weldon
*Zeras gleams at Ralki's announcement, he himself enjoying the study of the arcane all of a sudden sitting very straight and looking attentive*

"**Ralki that seems like quite the achievement, how does one learn to cast two spells at once? It could be a great skill to learn, in my travels.**"

*Zeras would then turn to Hitoshi, cup outwards a warm smile on his face* 

"**Young Hitoshi, how have you met such an esteemed and talented individual such as Ralki? Despite my relative older age, they seem to have mastered their craft in a quarter of the time I have walked the soil, truly they are a beacon of worldly talent.**"
Dorothy
"We killed some golems once. Haven't seen her since..."
Jason
"Mhmm, that was it. We don't really know each other that much, I just smelled her and I decided to greet her again... She is definitely a great ninja, super sneaky but I bet I could detect her still!"
Dorothy
"Well, I still have a while to go."
Weldon
"**Why must one be killing golems? Strange occurrence to find each other in if all is considered, and you are a... Ninja?**"
Dorothy
"They were harassing some... Workers somewhere. I can't remember. And... Uhh, yeah?"
Jason
"Yeah she's a ninja... If I remember correctly you had a katana, right? Where is that thing anyways? The golems were really annoying with those shields..."
Dorothy
"It was a piece of shit. Worthless."

"Yeah, shields are annoying."

*Hitoshi smirks.*

"Unless you don't fight them head on."
Jason
"It's hard to do that when your burrowing makes that loud ringing noise, y'know! There was no way I was going to sneak up on them either!"
Dorothy
"Then stop doing that."
Crystal
*Hitoshi smirks again, obviously joking with her statement.*
Dorothy
"And start hiring people like me. Everyone underestimates the likes of me until they're already dead."
Jason
"But... They wouldn't notice you until they're dead..."
Weldon
*Zeras's face becomes neutral once the mention of killing is made, clicking his tongue between his teeth* 

"**Violence is often a solution best saved till last in my experience, can't prove that you were underestimated to the corpse.**"
Dorothy
"True. I say that because that's my specialty, but if I can avoid it, that's better. And as for not noticing me... Well, I've done my job right then, haven't I?"
Weldon
*Zeras rubs his fingers together in some kind of nervous tick* 

"**A profession that involves killing and sneaking, you must be quite skilled Hitoshi, and quite dangerous.**"
Dorothy
"Yeah... I've been trying to branch out. I... I don't want to live that life. It's something I'm good at, but..."

*She pauses, scratching the back of her wrapped hands.*

"I don't want to work a job like that forever."
Jason
"I see I see... It's kind of like me and ceramics... I don't like doing it very much so now I'm working towards being an adventurer at new sunlight."
Weldon
*Zeras gives a small smile, before reaching out and putting a gentle hand on each of the two peoples shoulders, their varying heights making Zeras have to lean and hunch over at an incredibley awkward angle* 

"**Whatever it is you do, as long as your heart is at peace with it, the only person who can judge you is yourself, the world needs those who wield a blade just as much as it needs those who wield... Ceramics, we all have a our place, and if you are happy with that place, only you can deem your own worth.**"
Crystal
*Hitoshi looks to the side. Then she looks at Zeras again. Although she thinks it's a little naive of Zeras to say that, in spite of his advanced years, it's nice to hear all the same. She has the tiniest little smile for a small amount of time. She lets out a sigh. She couldn't agree with Zeras less. While you can certainly judge yourself, you can also be judged very well by the people around you, Hitoshi thinks. And sometimes, those people are right. Sometimes, you have to listen to those voices. They have a point every now and then.*

*Yeah, branch out... Cooking's nice. Maybe she could take up cooking as a job. Or painting. It wouldn't pay much, of course. But it's something she enjoys, and it's something she's good at. She never showed Mevis that one picture she made by her lonesome, did she? When she looked at it, it still... Did something to her. Gave her some hope. It was of her father. And it was just a drawing of Senichi duelling some strange black figure. But since the drawing was of Senichi wearing his armour, his face was obscured. It was just a Kitsune fighting some evil beast, but... It gave her hope, hope that there was good in this world, that she can pay back for her mistakes somehow. That she could be that warrior. But that's ridiculous. Like Zed said, she can't outrun her inner evil forever.*

*Hitoshi sighs. She'll need to get back to Salvania soon. Probably early tomorrow... She has work to do back at home.

Heh. "Home".*
Dorothy
"Ugh. What time is it?"
Jason
"Aboot midday ain't it? Why do you ask all of the sudden?"
Dorothy
"Just need to know. Wondering when to leave again. Came back to do what I needed to do..."

"And now I'm done. So I don't have anything else to do."

*Sigh.* "Sorry. Oh Gods, I've been so rude, haven't I..."
Crystal
*Hitoshi isn't in the best state of mind. She hates being in Irunia, she hated having to meet Zed, she hated the... **Other** Events.. Hitoshi really isn't in a good mood, and Mevis probably isn't particularly happy with her either. So yeah. Bad mood.*
Carla
*Ralki would notice this but would know that she wasn't involved in anyway whatsoever... So what could she do to cheer her up. The best she could do is be her regular self, she guesses. Is there another way? Maybe but Ralki isn't the one to think or dwell on things for too long.*
Jason
"Don't worry don't worry! Hey, I heard there was a good shaved ice store here from a customer when selling my pottery! We should check it out!"
Dorothy
"Uhh... Yeah, sure.."
Crystal
*Shaved ice is nice. May as well enjoy what little positives Irunia has to offer.*
Dorothy
"Hey, Zeras. You coming?"
Weldon
*Zeras stands a little wobbly from the drink, he puts his thumbs up still the same*

"**That sounds good to me, it would be a good opportunity to see more of the city.**"
