[ oh... they look a tad sulky for a moment because why! are they being teased! bur then. ]

I hope that with all those promises, you have people looking after you as well.

[recrowns]

[the sulkiness just manages to make soo-won smile as he gently leans his shoulder on against goat briefly - gulfan shifts with the weight but he's fine]

Playing is what friends do, but I'll refrain if you don't like it.

[he does err on the side of politeness at the end of the day]

But ah - yes! Hansa offered to be my bodyguard, and Blanca agreed to a contract with me. It's remarkable, really. I didn't think I'd be able to earn their trust and support so swiftly.

[retellers]

[ they perk up... just a bit... ]

Are we... friends?

[ fr... iends...? ]

That's good to hear.

[recrowns]

[soo-won just laughs a bit at that]

Mm. I've thought it over, and while I think I can accept you as a Guardian of sorts, I'm not sure if the title of 'Leader' fits our relationship well.

[again, because soo-won has never followed anyone else for even a single day in his life]

So I think that we're friends.

[retellers]

Friends... I'm happy to hear that.

[recrowns]

I'm glad that we're friends too.

[he tilts his head]

Have you made many here? Or have you not asked?

[retellers]

I don't know what people think of me. Whether they consider me to be a friend or not...

[recrowns]

[soo-won hums thoughtfully at that]

I suppose some people can be rather unsure about admitting when they're fond of someone....

Maybe you'll get to know over time.

[retellers]

Maybe. It's hard to know what people are thinking.

[recrowns]

I normally just ask.

[he really, really does]

[retellers]

You ask if they think you're friends?

[recrowns]

Hm... Sometimes I ask where we stand.

Or I'll ask what's on their mind - or I'll tell them that I think that we're friends, and gauge their responses.

Sometimes people are deceitful - but not always.

[retellers]

[ ...

goat is quiet, as if it has never occurred to them to ask what people think. ]

[recrowns]

[nicely done, goat]

I think the results are rather good, if you care to try it. Just be gentle.

[retellers]

[ no hold on they're dazed soo-won has overloaded their brain ]

[recrowns]

[SWEET GOAT

soo-won is just going to pat their shoulder and eat his astronaut food

it's unclear if he even likes it or if he just likes the novelty of it]

[retellers]

[ ...




after a few moments they just start nibbling on their own astronaut food ]

[recrowns]

It tastes funny, doesn't it?

[why do you give it out to people]

[retellers]

It does taste unusual... I think.

[ they're not sure exactly what "usual" would constitute for them?

though they don't seem to mind the taste and continue eating. ]

[recrowns]

Fufu, do you know anything about space?

[is that even a memory that goat would keep]

I didn't, until today. I thought it was incredible!

[retellers]

I have quite a lot of knowledge of space, though no specific memories of it.

[ so that's a yes, kind of. ]

You have been visiting the north, then.

[recrowns]

I have!

Would you mind explaining that, actually? We were wondering if, since the Realm responds to memories, that might be a place familiar to any of the Leaders?

I was also wondering if you had any additional guidelines on gathering nova this week.

[retellers]

It might be. I don't know if it's based off our memories, specifically, or that of any one person's world.

[ they go quiet, pondering. ]

Something is happening again in a few days. It'll be similar to what you all did last week, I imagine.

[ so, like, not murder. ]

[recrowns]

So it might be an amalgamation of a few different memories?

[but he hums thoughtfully at that]

Ah, like the scavenger hunt? I was wondering about that - Wolf suggested to me that nova was collected both before and after the hunt. Do you know what that meant?

[retellers]

We don't know all of the ways to gather nova, since we're usually aware of the gain more after the fact, rather than the moment it occurs... so I'm not sure how people were gaining nova before. But after... I think it was probably on Saturday that many of you attracted nova.
