[ he is 22... in his peasant clothes, so he doesn't give the same dark and gloomy aura as usual.

this has him confused. ]

Oh... Yeah. I don't know why before I've been out really late.

[ why did other Jacopo do that. ]

[punnier]

[ BITCH that is me saying that, Siffrin just looks confused like huh? ]

You don't know? Is it because.. you're sharing a room with someone?

[ How weird. At least they don't mind his peasant clothes, even if his style does seem different. Jacopo can wear and do whatever he wants in the end. ]

If you want, I can just move to sleeping outdoors instead I don't mind. I'm used to it from my travels.. and I like camping under the stars.

[obdure]

... No, I wasn't really. I'd just go for some late night drinks, then stay out? [ Yeah, in general, he's just friendlier and open now. ] And take a long nap somewhere.

That's not fair. Beds should be used.

[punnier]

[ Fwiendly and open guy.... this version would get kisses, you monster. ]

Should I make it a habit to go looking out for you every night to make sure you get back to bed then.

[obdure]

[ yeah, actually. jacopo at 22 is extremely likable. he snorts. ]

I wouldn't worry about me. Don't you have a rough sleeping schedule?

[punnier]

[ THIS HOW HE CAN STILL KISS I UNDERSTAND NOW. Siffrin just sticks their tongue out in a blep. ]

I wouldn't call it rough. Like I said, I'm used to camping under the stars from my travels back home, so I don't mind checking the bar before heading back. Will help ease my mind to know you didn't just pass out somewhere uncomfortable.

[obdure]

... I just don't know—if I turn back to acting like that... If I'd appreciate it.

[ It's a weird thing to talk about. ]

It's not you or anything.

[punnier]

[ It's really weird but. ]

Well, you'd know yourself best so, if you don't think it's a good idea.. Is there nothing I can do to help?

[obdure]

... I actually don't know. [ Which is kind of a sad answer, but. ] But I wouldn't worry about him—me.

Let's just focus on now?

[punnier]

[ Hmm.. A nod. ]

Sure. What were you up to?

[obdure]

For one, I actually don't know that much about you?

[ So... ]

Let's spend some time. You can tell me more about yourself.

[punnier]

[ Ah, that's fair. Tricky getting moments to have conversations to learn more about each other but, since they have now.. he looks around. ]

Are you hungry or thirsty? We can chat over a meal, if you want. [ Though. ] Either way, I can share a bit of myself?

[ So if he wants to just walk around and talk they can do that also. ]

Mmm... well, starting from the beginning - back in my world I was just a traveler. Traveled for as long as I could remember. I found myself in Vaugarde, before I helped out a group from a dangerous situation..

[obdure]

I am kind of hungry.

[ He will actually eat with people right now. ]

... So you get to see the world? [ He says that with some awe. ] Dangerous situation, is it. You almost sound like a hero.

[punnier]

[ Oh good, because Siffrin is unfortunately always hungry. ]

Any preference? We have a few places to choose from for food. [ But they nod to the question. ] I did.

I have mostly stayed in Vaugarde recently but, I've traveled to Portia a few times which is a country located directly to the west of Vaugarde... I really enjoy their theater plays the best. [ funny is that Portia is basically fantasy italy. ] I've also gone to Ka Bue at least once, which is located in the northern hemisphere away...

[ A sheepish look at the hero mention. ] Something like that... our group is kinda seen as saviors for deciding to try and go up against the King.

[obdure]

I never ate at the cafe, now that I think about it.

[ He had his reasons and he's also still unsure about it, but he doesn't mind. They can walk and talk. ]

Being a traveler sounds worthwhile... I wanted to travel, too. Back when I was alive. [ Raising an eyebrow. ] That does sound like hero to me. Evil monarch?

[punnier]

[ Cafe it is! Though hopefully it's okay if it's something he hasn't gone to. ]

Traveling is a bit.. freeing, no restrictions, free to go wherever and see everything. But I've learned from my talks with others that it's a bit harder to do in other worlds. Responsibilities, for one. [ A quiet snort. Yeah it does sound hero work. ]

Ah, no, it's the name he chose to go by. Vaugarde doesn't have a monarchy system. Pretty confusing, huh?

[obdure]

[ it's okay. he's not picky... at this age. ]

That's usually what stops people. That or money. Could be both.

[ It usually is.]

... A self-proclaimed king? That's pretty arrogant.

[punnier]

[ Picky... but we are at the cafe. It's fine, Siffrin is looking over the choices of what to order and making the most revolted look at croissants. ]

Mmm. Makes sense. I often took up random jobs while traveling to make up on coin. But I also didn't mind spending my days camping outdoors.

[ But they get it. ]

Maybe he saw himself as a hero of sorts. Whatever his reasoning, he was spreading a curse across the country that would freeze people and everything it touched in time.

[obdure]

There's also the need to know how to defend yourself. Bandits, you know.

[ THE WORLD IS ROUGH... Jacopo will choose. Bread. Pound cake? ]

Does... He gain anything from that?

[punnier]

Mmm. Claude said the same.

[ World really is rough for some of you... Siffrin will peer at an au pain chocolat but hmm. Maybe not today. Go for a sweet bread. ]

Outside freezing a country in time? [ (...) ] We don't really know.

[obdure]

[ ISN'T THAT ALSO A SWEET BREAD? ]

It sounds kind of silly...

[ Eats the bread. ]

[punnier]

[ They are grabbing a different sweet bread that isn't basically a chocolate croissant okay stop bread policing me. ]

It is. [ Silly King. ] So, that sums up what was happening back in my world.

[obdure]

[ i suppose you're right. ]

You're planning to return, right?

[punnier]

[ thank you ]

I do. I have.. no reason to really stay for "paradise."

[obdure]

Because your friends aren't here.

[ Is what he's guessing? ]

Or is there more you wanted to do?
