[Poly Entry 43:] Searching for comfort

[closetpervert]

[Video:]

[Turning on the device, Klarth gave a small bow of his head as he calmly introduced himself with a smile.]

Hello visitors. My name is Klarth F. Lester, a scholar and summoner from Euclid. Aselia Calendar year 4203. If anyone is familiar with my origins, please I ask you to contact me immediately. I'm ah..

[He thinks about the next thing he was about to say and draws his hat down a bit over his eyes. She wouldn't be here...]

...Nevermind. Thank you.

[ooc; Backdated to 4th wall and open to anything (AP, network)! Comfort him, tease him, whatever! He's missing Mirald hardcore but he won't admit it~ =TTWTT= / He's taken from the end of the original game so I'm open to discuss most except anything related to Narikiri Dungeon X, especially any spoilers! Thank you!]

action; <333!! [3/3]

[blackshadow]

[ But that all goes away when he sees Klarth's expression change. He stares for a few seconds before prompting- ]

That wasn't wishful thinking there, was it?

action; <333!!

[closetpervert]

[Indeeeed it's a good thing he can't;;;

Tyr brings him out of his thoughts and smiles.]

Hm? Ah, no. It's nothing. [He lightly forced a chuckle.]

I was thinking of my professor. That's all. He was the one who inspired me to begin the research.

action; <333!!

[blackshadow]

[ But it still makes Tyr curious. He leans forward on his arms. ]

Your professor? What was he like?

action; <333!!

[closetpervert]

What was he like... hmm... [He gave a light ponder and then smiled.]

He was a very peculiar person. [He laughed.]

He hired a bore person like me, as his assistant and got me involved in a fairy tale-like research on spirit summoning. A wise-ass youngster whom was indirectly rebellious towards the director of the Academy and yet was loved and respected by everyone. Truly... he was something.

action; <333!!

[blackshadow]

[ A little smile comes back to Tyr's face. ]

He sounds like an interesting guy at least... It must have been fun working with him.

action; <333!!

[closetpervert]

Ha ha ha, fun... well, perhaps. Still, the amount of work he demanded, goodness.

[Not that he minded after a while. He, too, was getting caught up in the research after all.]

So don't think I'll go easy on you. [He teased with another laugh.]

action; <333!!

[blackshadow]

[ Tyr laughed along with him. In the back of his mind, he thought of how much he's relaxed since coming to the City. ]

Between you and Rita, I'll never get a break.

action; <333!!

[closetpervert]

Ah! I was the one who asked first! I better have priority! You--

[He wrapped his arm around his shoulder to playfully attempt a headlock with a grin.]

action; <333!!

[blackshadow]

I've been her student for months now-- [ But hey!! He pats Klarth's arm to let him go. ]

action; <333!!

[closetpervert]

[He relaxes and loosely hangs his arm and warmly smiles.]

You happy? [Of course, he means with her.]

action; <333!!

[blackshadow]

Huh?

[ It takes him a minute to realise he doesn't mean "...now that I'm not strangling you". When he does, a soft smile comes to his face as well. ]

Yeah... I really am. Everything feels right when she's with me.

[ Sappy Suikoden men. ]

action; <333!!

[closetpervert]

[That face spoke loud and clear before the words even came out of the boy's mouth.]

Hm~ it's good to be young.

action; <333!!

[blackshadow]

[ Now Klarth gets a light shove. ]

So who're you happy with?

action; <333!! 1/2

[closetpervert]

[He gets a small "oof" out of him for that one. A taken look before he tries to play it cool.]

W-What? Ah, who, yes, uh well...

action; <333!! 2/2

[closetpervert]

[He gave a pause and small cough as he spoke in his most charming voice.]

My precious summons, of course. [OTL]

action; <333!!

[blackshadow]

...

[ Flopping back against his chair again. ]

Exactly like Rita. [ In a higher-pitched voice: ] "My precious blastia!"

action; <333!! 1/3

[closetpervert]

[Ahhhhh, more things that made them similar! He screamed inside.]

Eh?

action; <333!! 2/3

[closetpervert]

That stub-- [He grumbled his final words since he knew he wasn't one to speak.]

action; <333!! 3/4 I lied;;

[closetpervert]

[He scratched the back of his head as he tried to come up with a come back but horribly failing.] Goodness... All right, all right.

action; <333!! 4/4

[closetpervert]

T-There is someone. However, I can't say for certain the feeling is mutual.

action; <333!!

[blackshadow]

[ As smug as Tyr was about Klarth's expression - really, while Klarth screamed on the inside, Tyr laughed on the inside - the smug look on his face fades away pretty quickly. ]

Who is it?

action; <333!! 1/3

[closetpervert]

[He gave it a thought before softly spoke her name.]

Mirald. A childhood friend of mine...

action; <333!! 2/3

[closetpervert]

[His tone quickly changed to one of annoyance here as he described her.]

She lacks any sex appeal, is a brute, and picks at everything I do...

action; <333!! 3/3

[closetpervert]

[But then the softness returned towards the end as he somberly smiled.]

Yet still... I can't stop thinking about her. Odd, isn't it?

action; <333!!

[blackshadow]

[ Tyr couldn't help but smile as Klarth spoke. He didn't know Klarth had this side to him, but it was sort of endearing... He shook his head. ]

She's your friend. That sounds natural enough to me... There's probably something else you're leaving out.
