angel sanctuary - katan

[VII]

The desert is difficult, but not impassable. Even the creatures aren't so terrible if they can't be avoided.

Lord Rosiel, ~~I don't know how we were separated--~~ I have secured some supplies and will return to you immediately. Are you yet in this desert? ~~I think you must be.~~

[ooc: As you may or may not be surprised to learn, the heaven from which he comes is sort of one giant military-industrial complex. Are we surprised that he has gone full soldier for the moment? No, we are not. Yes, he has a gun (don't ask me why, but it's adorable).]

Katan... you've taken a fire weapon and your bare hands against the wild.

...you've grown great and tall and conniving enough to charm a weapon out of a forge master's hand. You've... truly... grown.

[ REVELATION TIME. ]

Lord Rosiel--are you well?

It's only rot, Katan. What harm can it yield me?

You're yet in the desert.

Oh. Oh, that. Never mind that. Show me that gun of yours, will you? There's a lovely thing, and where in El's name did you find it?

I was in need of it. So I took it.

...not that we'll cut your hand at the wrist yet, but I don't think you're supposed to admit theft so blatantly.

I had greater need of it. It isn't theft in such a situation.

[Previous owner dead, and all.]

No, that's very much still -

...well. It is a pretty gun. May you master it well.

I will try, Lord Rosiel.

Try not to be killed, promise the land and the sea and the skies above later.

...though make some haste, won't you? It's - irritating.

I will.

All of this is...irritating.

Oh? How irritating?

This is proof enough already.

Shhhhh. I promise you most stoically and well to stay alive for all of four hours.

But that's the most I can give you. Don't disappoint, hmmm?

[Four hours???]

[Bring it on.]

I won't, Lord Rosiel.

And fetch me a souvenir. There's your shadow who'll bring me a stone, so none of that, show initiative.

... I will try, Lord Rosiel.

They're irritating.

They are.

Well. I suppose it puts all that survival training to the test, at least.

Yes. I suppose it does.
