[Someone seems somewhat awkward with public announcements today.]

Good day, everyone. I'm sure you've all heard Lady Rydia's recent announcement. I am one of the scouts that she mentioned; I patrol the forest regularly, especially during a New Feather cycle. If you have need of guidance to the village, please contact me or anyone from the Welcome Center.

[There's a long pause before he moves to the next subject on his mind.]

Marriage...it is a strong and serious commitment, from what I understand. How does one build a relationship to that level? How long does it take? It has to be much different from a simple duty.

[Wait, what is he doing?]

Ah...I'm not even certain why I'm asking. Pay me no mind...

[But feel free to answer the question anyway...]

That's horrible...! I hope she's all right.

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

As do I. I can only hope the rumor is true, that time actually stops in our world while we are here.

[healedbythelight]

I hope so as well. It would be terrible if time moved on without us, leaving our companions to worry. Or, in time, even to give up on us.

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Or worse, if something happened to what we hold dear, and we couldn't be there to protect them...

[That's his greatest fear...]

[healedbythelight]

Yes... Yes, that would be horrible! Though, my companions all originate from different points in time, some in the past and one in the future. None of us have noticed any mysterious disappearances. It is as if we never left our homes at all.
