SECOND WISH ♔ ( AMBER )

[knight_king]

[Saber's face immediately appears on the amber surface and, from behind her, there are glimpses of Chime's recently opened shop.]

Good morning. To those who were not aware, the spirit known as Chime has just opened her shop and brought wares that are not available to us in the tree. [She is inwardly pleased to know that means this creature too can leave the tree somehow, but she will try to communicate with her later.] However, these items are not free and we cannot afford them alone. Their stock seems to be very limited as well. The answer is obvious, many of us surely have concluded that the solution is reuniting with close allies to purchase the desired ware with them, but I will suggest something else.

[She has been speaking about this matter with some people already, but she has had no time to propose an assembly outdoors to discuss the organization overall they could have to improve their lives and call a vote. She pauses to make her proposal.]

There are basic items such as food or the string of yarn, among others, that are of a general interest. Why do not we, the potential purchasers, donate them in benefit of all of us? We should assign a space as a storeroom to keep all what belongs the community and be sure that they are given a fair use.

[If this is accepted, she will bring up the delegated tasks for those who are specialized in different fields to optimize their lifestyles. Because raw ingredients could be better utilized in hands of good cooks than inexpert ones.]

If you do not agree, it is fine. I only wanted to address that, for the time being, we are expected to live together and a cohesive group stands stronger than one that lives with cordial divisions.

[ Could it be the location? ]

I will request that Jae-Ha switch with me and see if that is the case.

[knight_king]

[ She does not know how is the worm's sight, therefore it could work. ]

If you two occupy one of these lodgings, are not there empty beds for you to take?

[backstory]

The place where we are at is full. There is one other, as well as my two other companions.

[knight_king]

Two companions? [ She only met Jae-Ha. ] Hm, then I am certain he will trade your place if you ask.

[backstory]

His name is Hak. He is a difficult individual to get along with, but reliable.

2/2

[backstory]

I will ask Jae-Ha, then. Surely it must be a matter of location.

[ He wants to believe this ]

[knight_king]

Oh, I see. Those types can be problematic. [ That made her think of Archer. ]

[knight_king]

Before you do that, you should ask if these glowworm frighten him.

[backstory]

If someone like that is bothering you, please feel free to tell me. [ People should definitely respect a lady. ]

At the very least, I know the worm does not bother him. In general, he finds it amusing I think.

[knight_king]

That is kind though unnecessary. [ Suppresses a sigh. ] He is my ally and I know how to confront him.


Hm. I see, so this dread is only yours?

[backstory]

It is not a dread. [ Yes it is. ] But a healthy distrust. I will stay away from them if they will stay away from me.

[knight_king]

It is too extreme if you cannot reconcile sleep near them.

[backstory]

[ But he knows it's a weakness, he is trying... ]

In the end, perhaps this arrangement will help.

[knight_king]

Let us hope for the better, Hakuryuu. You need to rest.

[backstory]

In the meantime, I will ask Hak as well as Jae-Ha about the rope and other supplies. It never hurts to stock up on things. You never know when you might need them.

[knight_king]

Thank you for your and your friends' assistance.

[backstory]

It is nothing at all, Saber.

[knight_king]

Sleep well tonight.

[backstory]

[ He will try. ]

You as well. [ He'll put the amber piece away, then. ]
