Diasomnia Dorm - Lounge
 |
Hey, Lilia! Thanks for inviting us. |
 |
Ah, Kalim and Jamil. Welcome, and thank you for coming. |
|
I have to say, I was really stunned when I heard you were suddenly dropping out. I know I've told you this story before, but back when I first came to this school... It was your live performance that made me sign up to the Pop Music Club. Now I'm not gonna get to hear your epic metal screams anymore. It just won't be the same without you! I wanted to give you a set of instruments and amps as a goodbye gift, but Jamil talked me out of it. |
 |
The set you picked out would've taken a whole truck to ship. He's not going on a concert tour. You have to consider an average person's living arrangements. |
|
Khee hee hee, yes, sorry. I prefer to travel light. But the sentiment is very much appreciated, Kalim. |
|
Lilia, allow me to thank you for being such a good friend and clubmate to Kalim. I wouldn't wish to add to your luggage, but I do have a little something for you, if you're willing to accept it. |
|
Why are you being so formal? And what have we here...? A business card? |
|
My dad said to give it to you! |
|
You see the number on there? That's a direct line to the Asim family's live-in concierge service. |
|
They have a live-in concierge?! |
|
Feel free to call that number whenever you may visit the Scalding Sands. The Asim family would be glad to provide you with support from the moment you arrive to the time you leave. |
|
That card should make sure you're well taken care of anywhere in the country—at airports, department stores, you name it! Mom and Dad said they'd love to meet you someday. So please, come and visit whenever you want! I can give you a magic carpet ride to anywhere in the country. |
|
Such generosity! Do thank your family for me. I'll keep it with me as a good-luck charm. Thank you, Kalim. Jamil. |
|
I can see other students watching us and waiting for a turn to speak with you. |
|
Yeah. It wouldn't be fair for us to monopolize too much of your time. I hate to say goodbye, Lilia... Take care of yourself, okay? |
|
You both do the same. Whew... |
 |
Father. |
|
Hm? Are you already done eating, Silver? |
|
Malleus still hasn't shown up. |
|
So it seems. That boy is hopeless sometimes. But don't worry about it. We've been together long enough now that we sometimes tire of each other. He hardly needs to send me off... |
|
Yes he does! Father, you depart for the Land of the Red Dragon TONIGHT! Once you do, you'll never see him again! I... I insist on searching for Malleus! I'll be right back! |
|
|
Wait, Silver! ...Nope, he's gone. I swear, I don't even know where that stubborn streak comes from... |
 |
Lilia... *awmph* *gulp* Is something the matter? I could've sworn I just heard Silver yelling. |
|
He went out to find Malleus. |
|
What?! Then I should join him— |
|
No, it's fine. To be honest, I'm not certain what parting words I would even share with Malleus. I feel as though whatever I say will come out sounding rather melancholic. |
|
Lilia... |
|
You see, Sebek... There's not much time before I leave. I want to spend it with all of you here, having as much fun as I can. Your absence would be felt if you dashed off. |
|
Ah... Of course. Tch. I'll have words for Silver if he dozes off during his search. |
