[Orb] Reize's Journey Starts

[reize_seatlan]

I think my journey lead me here...

[Reize scratches his head]

It's pretty strange. It feels like I am going to live through one of my father's stories. Except, this is my own.

...Anyone else here?

[shiromadoushi]

There's a few of us here, un! [[nods with a smile]] You just arrive?

[reize_seatlan]

!!!

[He turns around in surprise and beams a smile.]

Oi! Ye-yeah! I just got here! This is all amazing! I'm Reize Seatlan!

[shiromadoushi]

Nice to meet you, I'm Bakura Ryou! [[smiles, bowing his head slightly.]] And it really is! Haven't gotten to do much exploring yet, but I think we're going to pretty soon!

[reize_seatlan]

Great! I've been looking to expl---

[A pause. A few question marks appear over his head.]

We?

[shiromadoushi]

Aa-- me and my family here. [[There's just such a gleeful expression there, even a year later, the fact that he has a dad again gets him every time]] We all wound up here about the same time, luckily! [[even if Ben had vanished months before back in the City... It didn't matter as long as they were together now!]]

[reize_seatlan]

Oh!

[With the confusion cleared up, he smiles.]

That is great to hear! It's important to be reunited with family.

It's rather strange how I got here, but... it feels like this place is where my journey will be.

[shiromadoushi]

It has that sort of feel to it, un. [[a warm smile]] Did you find a book as well?

[reize_seatlan]

[Reize clutches his head, slowly recalling the situation.]

Yeah. I came across a book lying on the ground while I was trying to gain my bearing in a forest. ...I ended up far from my village.

Looks like I'm further now.

[The smile grows and his expression is filled with determination.]

But that's okay. This is a sign for me to be a great explorer!

[shiromadoushi]

Un! It seems the sort of place that's designed for that. [[a small laugh]] Hey, maybe when we head out for West Haven, you could come along too! The more the merrier, right?

[reize_seatlan]

I'll look forward to that, Bakura.

If there is any danger, I'll be able to protect you guys.

Knight's Vow #1: Always help those in need!

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- Thank you... but I'm sure it'll be all right! After all, Ben's a Jedi! [[Glee for a moment because he has the most amazing adoptive dad.]]

[reize_seatlan]

Great!

[While Reize maintains a bright smile, he has a look of confusion on his face. It's properly displayed with the question marks that pop up above his head.]

Err... What's a Jedi?

[shiromadoushi]

A Jedi is a type of knight with incredible powers of mind over matter! [[To put it in the simplest of terms.]]

[reize_seatlan]

[His eyes widen as shock strikes him. Or rather, awe-struck.]

Really?! Wow, that's amazing!

[shiromadoushi]

It really is! So I'm sure we won't have to worry with him with us. [[Blind faith in his father figure? You betcha!]]

[reize_seatlan]

Nevertheless, if I can be of any help, I will be glad to help out!

[shiromadoushi]

[[a nod]] I'll be counting on it!

[tatra]

Oh yes! You aren't alone at all.

Would you like some tea? I find it helps with this sort of thing. [ This being all sorts of things, to be specific. ]

[reize_seatlan]

[Surprised by the other presence, the boy smiles.]

Oh! Hi! Su-sure! Thank you! I'm Reize, just an explorer.

[tatra]

I'm Tatra. It's a pleasure to meet you, Reize.

[reize_seatlan]

Did you end up in here through a book as well?

Have you explored around the castle yet?

[tatra]

I suppose I must have! I hadn't thought of it before.

I've seen most of the castle now. It's very cute!

[reize_seatlan]

Great! I can't wait to explore the rest of the castle! I wonder what the knights are like here!

[tatra]

I wonder myself! It's so strange to be away.

[reize_seatlan]

I've never actually met a knight before. This may be my first time meeting them. My father told me lots of stories about knights.

[tatra]

We have warriors in my country, but only Cephiro has Knights that I know of.

[reize_seatlan]

Oh! Wow! I came from a small village, so many of the adults were hunters. All of the kids were trained to hunt so that we could help the adults with getting food.

[tatra]

How sweet.
