Diasomnia Dorm - Lounge
??? |
Greetings. I humbly extend my deepest gratitude for your invitation to this fine gathering... ...In commemoration of your upcoming departure, Mr. Vanrouge. |
 |
Well, well. I must admit I'm surprised. I hardly expected you of all people to accept my invite. I'm glad you made it, Leona. And you as well, Ruggie. |
 |
Hah. Listen to you. When the bat flappin' around the lizard told me to show my face one last time... I figured he wanted some long-overdue payback. I was actually lookin' forward to it. I didn't expect an actual party with food and drinks. |
 |
Same. I thought it'd be more like... "So glad you could make it for dinner. We're having ROAST LION with a side of HYENA!" I was totally ready for somethin' like that. |
|
Khee hee hee. Oh, I've long since moved past what happened at the Spelldrive tournament. In fact, I have my own regrets from that time—I wish I'd shown more maturity amidst all you mewling cubs. So let's both call it water under the bridge, shall we? |
|
Hmph. You know the best part about today? It'll be the last time I ever see that shifty mug of yours. |
|
I dunno, I would've much preferred Lilia stick around until graduation. With him gone, who's gonna chaperone Malleus? |
|
Don't let appearances deceive you. Malleus is actually quite mild-mannered... Well, maybe not exactly that, per se. But as long as you let sleeping dragons lie, you won't get a face full of fire breath. Take care not to just pounce out of curiosity—your whiskers will get burned. |
|
Well, well. You honor me with your sage counsel. I pray that happiness follows you wherever your travels take you, Mr. Vanrouge. And, with that... Regrettably, we must beg our leave now. |
|
Wait, what?! You're leaving already? You could hang out a little bit, y'know. |
|
Are you serious? Why would I spend another minute in this obnoxious place? The lizard hasn't shown up yet... And I'd just as soon split before lookin' at that gloomy face of his. |
|
But we're talkin' about FREE FOOD. If they're not tryin' to make me dinner, then you better believe I'm gonna eat up before headin' back! |
|
Hah hah hah! You've got a fine lad here, Leona. A soldier who can still eat his fill when standing in an enemy camp is a formidable one indeed. Come, Leona, why not enjoy yourself a bit longer? We have many beverages I think you'd enjoy. Go on, flag down one of the waitstaff. |
|
......*sigh* |
|
It'd be SUPER rude to ditch a party you were specially invited to without eating anything, riiight? |
|
...Y'know, that mercenary streak of yours actually scares me. |
|
Hey, pride doesn't fill an empty belly. Lilia, I'm happy to take you up on that! Oh yeah, and take care of yourself out there! |
|
Yes, you as well...though I'm sure the two of you will be just fine without any encouragement from me. |
|
 |
Grrr... If this wasn't Lilia's farewell party... I would kick those disrespectful louts out of Diasomnia myself! |
 |
You're right that today's a day of celebration, Sebek. Do NOT start any fights. |
|
I don't need you to spell it out! GRRR. |
|
Hmm... Malleus isn't here yet. I wonder if he's lingering somewhere. |
|
Lilia, I'll go find Malleus. |
|
I'll join you! Otherwise you might doze off in the middle of your search. |
|
Oh, it's fine. Both of you stay and enjoy the party. |
|
But, sir—! |
|
|
Bah hahahaha! I bet you could hear that from the moon! I think your empty stomach doesn't want you to leave behind all this glorious food, Sebek! |
|
Sir! It's... It's not what you think! |
|
How many times have I told you that you can't fight on an empty stomach? Don't spend the whole night hovering around me. Go grab a plate. Malleus has his invitation. I'm sure he'll show up sooner or later. |
|
Rgh... If you insist, sir. |
|
I'll be back as soon as I've had a quick bite. |
|
I keep telling you, you should take your time and savor your food. Don't be in such a rush. |
|
|
...Goodness, those boys. |
