[Amber: 003]
[Someone has enough energy to address the amber today! Yoshitsugu has recovered from his illness for the most part, just needing a little more rest to get his energy levels back up; right now he is in fact still in bed, lacking his usual hat but with facecloth still firmly in place. He wants to offer some advice to the tree, though considering it's him giving it? It's not necessarily offered in a straightforward way.]
The magic of this world is interesting, isn't it? And dangerous. Something to remember if you wish to take part in any future quests which lead you outside of the mist; you never know when the flow will deliver you to a malevolent being who might decide to reach deep into your heart and soul, tear at old wounds and drag your weaknesses to the surface so it might attack them in a cruel yet extremely precise way, leaving you awash in nightmares and haunted by the most painful and unsettling of memories.
[It's certainly said calmly; Yoshitsugu's expression doesn't betray much either, remaining serene except, for those really, really looking closing, when he says 'painful.' The flinch is slight, but real.]
Or you might simply have a quiet and pleasant journey.
[Moving on to better things and a more pleasant memory, Yoshitsugu relaxed against the back of his bed a little more; his smile isn't visible, of course, but the pleasure he feels when recalling this memory shows in his eyes.]
The most interesting magic was that which brought chocolate cake to us. Those of you who come from a time and place where you can eat it whenever you like are very fortunate.

[ Because as the King of Heroes, all the domains of man could be traced directly to his influence. As far as he was concerned, every kingdom was also his kingdom.
Also, his hometown was thousands of years in the past from when he had been summoned from. ]
But that's fine too, it's a worthy cause, and if everyone was satisfied living here, they wouldn't go on those interesting quests, right?

[Yoshitsugu isn't one of them. He did die, after all, and even if he could be returned intact to his world he would only end up dying again. His only intention in this world is to go with the flow and just see what happens... well, while doing his best to prepare Takatora for potential seperation.]
But yes, you're right. I personally find the potential reward of cake to be excellent motivation on its own.

[ One thing he can say about the modern age that's better than ancient Babylon: Chocolate wasn't rare, and it was always delicious. Mm, candy. ]
You know for me, adventure is its own reward. Seeing new things, having epic battles, rescuing maidens, isn't that what all boys should aspire to?

[Yoshitsugu laughs. At this point, it wouldn't be all that surprising if what he says next is actually true.]
Perhaps you're being written into a new one, as we speak.

[ After all, he's already a hero of legend. Technically the first hero of legend, of the oldest recorded story in human history. ]
Somebody, somewhere will remember us well! At the very least we're the fairies that saved a girl's cat, right?
