I've found myself with somewhat of a slow day today so I thought I'd take the opportunity to get a few of my questions answered.

Is there anything you particularly miss from your home? Or something that make it unique and different from any other place you've been? I doubt we'll get the chance to visit our homes for an extended period any time soon or else I'd just visit and see for myself. As it stands, I'll have to settle for the next best thing.

No need to reply if you're feeling shy but I really would appreciate any answers you're willing to give.

Oh, and before I forget. I received an image awhile back that I was unable to decipher on my own. If someone would be so kind as to explain the meaning behind it, I would be ever so grateful.

[ Everyone is so sweet, calling him a friend. ]

Because I agreed to take ballroom dance lessons with you?

No, I thought of you as a friend well before that.

Well, far be it from me to refuse a kind offer of friendship from a lovely young woman such as yourself.

[ it's not 'cute' but it'll have to do. ]

Then I hope as your friend, you'll be able to rely on me in the future whenever you need it.

[ 'Lovely' is accepted!! ]

Same here!
It's been nice getting to know people who have been here for longer anyway. There's been a lot to learn about...

One day that'll be you handing out advice to all the new recruits. Who knows, maybe someone from your crew will show up and you can play the role of tour guide for them instead of the opposite way around.

Then I've gotta keep exploring!
Don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you too, if anyone from the crew shows up.

You don't think I'd be able to make a good impression on my own?

I don't know if you'd care about making one, so I'd take the first step for you.

Of course I care about making a good first impression. Or at least a reasonable one. I'd rather not offend good friends of yours the instant I meet them.

If it helps, they're pretty hard to offend unless you're trying really hard.

[ Well. It's fine. ]

Which I don't think would happen.

That almost sounds like a challenge.

[ he won't actually do it though ]

But I promise to be on my best behavior if or when they show up here. I'm pretty curious about them now, actually, after you've praised them so much.

I'll talk about them anytime you want!
But maybe in exchange you can tell me about some of your favorite people too?
You don't have to say as much, though, if you don't want to.

[ march currently winning the race of which m&m ranks higher on his preference list. ]

Sure. I'm sure Sigewinne wouldn't mind having her good name spread around. In fact, she'd probably be delighted to be able to make new friends before even arriving here.

[ March is not as organizational as Malkuth. He can breathe. ]

Sigewinne... That's a cute name!
What's she like?

Oh, she's very sweet. She's the head nurse where I worked before this, so naturally she cares greatly about both the physical and mental well-being of those around her. Ah, but if she ever offers you one of her milkshakes, do yourself a favor and turn it down.

Well, that sounds... uh. Ominous.
Then again, I could probably say the same about Himeko's coffee...

They're quite good for you if you can stomach the taste.

[ but the taste is......well. ]

I find it hard to believe a person could ruin coffee that badly though.

If you think you can handle it, I'll ask her to brew you a cup if she shows up.
But...
It's really bitter... and a lot of the time it's more sludge than liquid...

[ That too is desolation... ]

I think I'll pass, actually. No offense to Miss Himeko, I'm sure she possesses many other redeeming qualities.

[ He Gets It. ]

She does! She's our navigator and I heard she was actually the one who fixed up the Express to get it running again! So in a way, I don't know if I ever would have been found if it hadn't been for her.

A mechanic and a navigator. That's quite the impressive resume.

[ he would never wish for her to be unwillingly whisked away to a random city in the middle of nowhere, but she does sound like quite the fascinating individual to meet. ]

Was it really broken down before? I can't imagine the amount of work that must go into repairing a train able to travel through the stars...and with a full crew, no less.

This was even before everyone else joined up, I guess. The Express has apparently existed for a long time, back when the Aeon of the Trailblaze was still around. But Himeko found it after it fell into disrepair, so it's even more impressive that she was able to get it going again!

It's had more passengers since then, but when I joined, it was down to just four other... uh. Individuals.

[ What is Pom-Pom, really. ]

[ what IS pompom, really.......

aeon? trailblaze? what in the hell are all of those? unfortunately (fortunately??), he is not malkuth and an immediate slave to his own inquisition. ]

And yet just the five of you are enough to keep it running. Either this is one efficient train or you all are a group of highly talented individuals. Or both.

[ This is how Wriothesley can still sleep at night. ]

Both! I can't deny we're a pretty great bunch.

[ March, whose main role is to just keep things lively-- ]

Why don't you tell me more about them over drinks next time? I'll even pay for them as thanks.

[ now that he has learned about boba, he is unstoppable. ]
