2nd Bark [Action] Fourth Wall

[dogboy]

[Holy shit this was a bad day to be in the village.

There were a lot of people he didn't particularly know - or care about! - walking around and

it really, really wore on his nerves.

But he's out nonetheless looking for some important people in his life, watching the wingless newcomers warily and keeping to himself. All around the village, too, and later in the forest as well whether or not his search comes up fruitless.]

[Mathias is, as expected, wandering around the plaza. She's not exactly lost, per se - she'd never say that - but she doesn't particularly recognize anyone.

Except for Chien, and a kind smile alights to her face when she notices him.]

Chien?

[dogboy]

[--That voice...]

L-Lady Mathias?! [Turning to OH HEAVENS IT IS YOU holy shit yes running right up to you, Lady Mathias, like a loyal dog.]

Lady Mathias, it's really you! [Heee~ If his wings weren't hidden under all that clothing, they'd be flapping quite happily.] Chitose and I have been waiting for you.

[batshitgrudgewanker]

[Good boy.]

Have you now? [That's good.] Then perhaps you'd like to tell me where we are, exactly?

[She's actually really pissed that she didn't get to destroy Naraka ftr don't mention the Manifest --]

[dogboy]

[Okay, he'll be serious now. An order's an order from Lady Mathias.]

Luceti. It looks nice, but it's got a lot of wrong with it like Naraka. [... Simple explanation go?]

[batshitgrudgewanker]

I hardly think that any world could be as wretched as Naraka is now.

[dogboy]

O-of course! I mean, it's just similar. Experiments and wars and all. But people don't look down on you for being an Avatar here. [So he's heard and experienced. But they're probably just using him, right?]

[batshitgrudgewanker]

Is that so? I wonder... People always fear the unknown, but I hardly think any of them alone would admit to it.

[By which she means they all hate you anyway but won't say so.]

[dogboy]

[... He gets you, Lady Mathias, though it makes his heart a little heavy with the truth. So he nods and shuffles his feet, feeling foolish that he'd thought anyone'd been nice out of the fact that they didn't look down on him for being born like he was.]

... Yeah. I don't trust them or anything like that, since they could be trying to trick me like that group of traitors, but the food doesn't seem poisoned or anything. It's out in the open in all the shops and stuff. Uh, do you know want to especially know anything? That's kind of the basics of it, but...
