[ 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?

[punnier]

[ A nod. ]

I need to go back for them. If I don't... they'll face the King alone, and..

[ You know, die. And to them, their friends are everything. ]

[obdure]

... Then I wish you luck on this redemption project, even though it's very vague on how to complete it.

[ He's a bit apologetic on that. ]

But from our short time together, I think you'll be fine.

[punnier]

Thanks, Jacopo.

[ It's okay. They'll figure it out. ]

..What about you? Important stuff to go back to? What was your world like..?

[obdure]

I'd like to go back since my friends are there.

[ Which might seem weird because he is usually so... So grumpy, but then— ]

But... Based on how I've been acting, I think I don't plan to go back.

[punnier]

[ So grumpy, yeah... but a frown. ]

Because things may have changed? [ Hm.. ] Can I ask about your friends? What they're like?
