"...Huh. I'll look for her when I get the chance... I'm sure she'd forgive you, though."

*Hitoshi would've brought up New Sunlight, but to be perfectly honest, who really cares about that? Yeah, she's a member of New Sunlight, but that's not hugely important...*

*Instead, Hitoshi opts to simply busy herself with an aimless look around at all the places around her...*

*Upon looking up to the sky, Hitoshi notices just how late it's gotten. Chances are, she won't find a chance to replace her set of armour, but hopefully that can be done tomorrow. With all that said and done, Hitoshi aimlessly follows Ardon for a little while longer... Wondering what else to say.*

"...So, uhh... The quest, what happened in it?"
Karin
"......I dunno if they would. Oh! But the quest was super fun!!! So what happened was me and Momo went to this farm and we basically met this like really old woman who made us look for Furrows and she told us that we had to make them go away from her farm so they could stop eating her crops or something?. When we went out there to her farmland we took some grains with us and I even used some of my jerky to lure them out! Its how I met Furry, my little buddy here." *Quickly the furrow would crawl up to Ardon's palm and just begin happily chirping about on his palm as he ate some jerky* "Hehe not everyone was nice there though so we had to take care of the other ones alittle less gently but nonetheless we really had so much fun in that farm and it'll forever be in my memory as one of the best moments I had in the city." *Ardon didn't mention something that happened in the farm. Something that happened between him and Momo but really it didn't happen!!! Still just remembering that moment made him blush slightly though him blushing was really hard to see due to him BEING RED SKINNED!!!!*
William
*...Huh. You know, Hitoshi was expecting to hear of something more... Violent? The Titan would be absolutely perfect in a brawl, what with his arms and what Hitoshi can only assume is a toughened carapace, of thick hide usable as an alternate suit of armour.*

*She can remember some of her dad's military friends having something like that. Takeshi, that Pale Oni that spent so many days drinking with her father, would have this bizarrely... Hard skin. It felt like steel, and it was... Unnerving. Paradoxically, Takeshi himself was such a soft spoken, pleasant man, in spite of his huge size and his body which was almost... Engineered for war. Although he was an Oni, so... Of course.

"Yeah, your dad and I saw some crazy sh... Stuff back in Amongko. Red Oni are nuts. Don't trust a fu- freakin' single one, they'll beat you senseless when they get the chance..."*

*It was always adorable, how even as Hitoshi was old enough to swear like a sailor himself (when the parents weren't listening of course), Takeshi would always hold his own language back. Hitoshi never really knew all that much about the pale demon, but he was such a pleasant man, ignoring his rampant racism that to be fair, rubbed off on Hitoshi for a long time. Only recently did Hitoshi let up on her racism against the Oni after realising that yes, they have their good apples and that outside of Amongko they really aren't the top dogs at all...*

*Ardon probably felt the same way too upon arriving in Salvania, the Macen haven. From being the top dog in their own country, to being judged so harshly...*

*At least he had this... Momo character to rely on. She... She seems like a pleasant person who really wants to help the mutant Titan, almost like Mevis and she rely on each other so much emotionally. They both ground each other, keep each other safe and do their best to encourage the other. It's probably the exact same thing here..*

*Hitoshi would look almost sad as she recalls her own family farm, as Ardon mentions the quest being at such a place... And completely fails to notice the blushing, as she begins to whistle a tune, starting off as a tune she remembers and slowly trailing off into... Random shit.*

"Best memory? I think my best memory in this city was meeting..."

*Arthur Dax. Let's not say that name.*

"... My first friend here. I'm still... A recent immigrant, and I didn't know much if anything about this place. And even though he's... Going down a weird path, I still miss him. A lot. Even though he turned out to be... Something different. Surprised at the kind of person he could be..."
Karin
"Welp I guess people change... I know I have alot. Ever since I got here to New Salvainia I've changed alot. I miss my family, I miss my friends and I'm sure that they'll be atleast alittle surprised of how I changed not just in the outside but probably in the inside too. Your friend as long as he's not burning down houses or killing the lives of innocent people I suggest you support him! That's what friends do right? They support each other and sometimes change is good maybe different but different isn't always bad... Except when you grow extra arms and get hard red skin." *Ardon gave a big happy smile to Hitoshi as he was curious on what he was thinking about!* 

"What did your friend do anyway? It must be pretty weird for you to be surprised about it I can say that. One time in my old home my best friend who was a pretty shy person managed to invite his crush on a date!!!! I was so surprised cause he really wasn't the type to do something like that cause he hated confrontation and he hated talking to people more but really the way he just stepped up to the plate like that really showed me how passionate he was with the girl, it was pretty sad though when he was rejected but it was all good because I took him to this fun inn that sold some really yummy food and..." 

*Ardon would just continue of talking about how delicious this squid was just rambling on about him and his friend. Really it was a pretty boring story but he was just happy that he had Hitoshi there and he was able to talk about stuff with him, serious things and even things like him and delicious squid. It was quite late by now and while the two talked it seemed that Furry was getting pretty tired and decided to get some shut eye, it was amazing how the furrow was able to sleep right on such a loud and noisy man but he was probably used to it due to being with him for so long*
William
"Well, he wasn't exactly... Ah.."

*Hitoshi would've tried her best to dance around Arthur's crimes, putting her skills of mental gymnastics and misdirection to the test, but it seems that today this dance won't be required today, as Ardon... Is Ardon, and blabs on and on about his friend back at home.*

*To tell the truth, the Kitsune is more than grateful to not have to get involved in an uncomfortable, painful conversation, instead idly listening to the long, drawn out tale of the simple minded mutant who had a really nice friend who wanted help with a date...*

*Hitoshi finally puts the cowl completely away from her face, fully revealing it, and smiling a little. This guy is nice. A bit loud, not the smartest and obsessed with "Fitting in", but nice, a genuinely good person. Almost like Mevis in a few ways, although Mevis is smarter.*

*Hitoshi just smiles and listens, eventually zoning out unconsciously...*
Karin
*As he continued on rambling about the story he was telling after awhile he'd suddenly realize that the person he was talking to was probably bored or annoyed about his too long of a story already* "Oh! I'm sorry I didn't notice that I was rambling on for so long... I hope I didn't bore you with my long story. Its just that nowadays I don't really have that much people to tell my stories too hehe." *He sort of awkward laughed it off but really it was true, he was just so happy to get the chance to tell more people about him and his stories that he completely forgot about the person he was actually talking to. As he laughed he would scratch the back of his head while wondering if he was actually bothering anyone since it was night and he was afraid that he might wake up some people with his deep slightly bellowing voice that was just even more amplified with his enthusiasm for talking*
William
"Uh-wha? Nah, nah, it's fine..."

*Hitoshi yawns and wipes her eyes. Yeah. It was getting awfully boring, to be honest, but whatever...*

"It's fine, it's fine..."

*Hitoshi would then pause for a moment and look at the skies. Gods, it's getting late... And Hitoshi hasn't done very much at all on this fine night. Maybe Ardon's willing to follow Hitoshi to the library, although she doubts he'd get any enjoyment out of it. Personally, Hitoshi loves the library (mostly for books on magic, or enchantment) but Ardon's probably not that sort.*

"Hey, it's been really nice meeting you, Ardon, but, uhh... I wanted to get some studying done tonight, like I said... Might get my measurements too for my new armour... You could come, but I don't think you're too into that.. See you later?"
Karin
"Studying and measurements... Umm no thanks. I'm not good with numbers but see you! I'll be here just wandering about, if not I'm probably on a quest" *Ardon would say as it seemed that the whole encounter was dragging in for a bit too long, he was happy to end it here since he knew that they'd see each other in the near future. With that Ardon would look back towards where he came from and start walking to the tavern that he frequented hoping to get some shut eye after that fairly eventful walk in the street!* "Goodbye Ms. Hitoshi! Take care and I hope you and your friend are good again! See you later! I'm sure we'll meet soon! Bye bye! So Long..." *As he walked away he'd continue on looking backwards shouting the many synonyms and ways you can say goodbye to a person. As he left he still had that big goofy grin on his face, he started with a frown and ended with it upside down hey that rhymed!*
William
"...Uhh, bye..."

*Hitoshi frowns a bit under her cowl... One bye would suffice...*

*After he's gone, she smiles. It feels good to help people out, and every time she does so, it reminds her that she really has changed for the better. Once, she was an overly possessive, violent, selfish, greedy person. Now, though...?

Well, she's still a fairly greedy person. And fiercely protective of friends, to the point of being illogical. And she's still a shy person who sucks in social situations.*

*But hey! She did something good today!*

*Now... Where the fuck is that library?*

*Sidenote, she'll need to find a healer to hold up her promise to the strange man. Such a shame, really, being mutated like that without your consent... The least she can do is try to find someone who could possibly help, as that... Isn't normal.*

*She didn't entirely agree with the fitting in point. Never did. She's always been a fiercely independent individual, someone who hated being part of the sheep. But at the same time... She can understand the pain, of being someone who wants to be accepted, to be able to help, but to also be unable to do that owing to the terror people feel the moment they set eyes upon your forcefully mutated body.*

*Yes, you shouldn't make special efforts to fit in. But there's a difference between wanting to fit in, like Hitoshi with her Oriate heritage and her... Alternate SO choices, and being mutated beyond recognition, without wanting it, and being seen as a monster. That's a horrifying fate, one that nobody should've just allowed the Titan to suffer...*

*Someone needs to help. Beyond words, beyond well intentioned but misguided speeches. Someone needs to actually help. And that person seems to have to be Hitoshi.*
