[recrowns]

[he nods in agreement. in truth he'll probably seek to repay the innkeeper eventually but. later. when he's leaving and doesn't have to reveal he took a knife.]

Mm, then I'm Soo-won. Do you know anything about me? Or shall I be introducing myself?

[do they not know what tea is.... he tilts his head]

Have you had tea before? Or is it not to your tastes?

[retellers]

I know only what you have told others.

[ they shake their head. ]

... I have just not drunk anything during my time here.

[ they weren't expecting to be offered... sustenance. ]

[recrowns]

[ah, that's enough then. soo-won already confessed his kingship to blanca so.

though he looks

concerned next]

.... aren't you parched?

[retellers]

[ they tilt their head. ]

No...?

[recrowns]

I see...

Is that the case for all of you...? Have the other Leaders had any food or drink in their time here?

[should he give up on tea time....]

[retellers]

No, I've seen the others drink... Fox, Rabbit, and Tiger like tea, I think. I mostly see Wolf drink water, and after yesterday, a drink I don't know... It was what was put into your bags, though.

[recrowns]

[did wolf drink alcohol]

Mm, that's true. I'm rather fond of tea myself. Would you like to try it?

Or is there something else you'd prefer - I'd be happy to bring along a different snack next time.

[retellers]

[ yeah you all drove wolf to drink ]

If it is a gift, I will accept it with gratitude.

[recrowns]

[so funny

then soo-won will continue to offer the cup of tea out to goat with a smile]

Very gracious of you.

Then let's enjoy our first tea time together. There's many different kinds, so if this one isn't to your liking, we can peruse through the other types.

[he just likes tea]

[retellers]

[ they take it. ]

All food and drink is precious. I don't think I have any particular distastes...

[recrowns]

I'll keep that in mind then.

[and he'll take a sippy sip of his tea]

Shall we walk around while we take our tea? I have a few more questions, if you wouldn't mind answering them.

[retellers]

[ a nod. ]

It is my duty to answer what I can, though I cannot guarantee that I will know everything...

[recrowns]

Fufu, that can be said of anyone, no?

[he offers up a smile, nodding as he starts them on a slow walk around the town]

Do we know anything new regarding the collecting of nova? I understand it hasn't been that long, but I thought it worth checking.

[retellers]

[ yes but if you ask the other npcs they might say that goat, in particular, seems to know jack shit.

they follow along. ]

Something regarding the nova will happen in a few days. We're not sure yet what, but... we can feel something.

[recrowns]

[PLEASE HELP GOAT I LOVE THEM]

Oh...? Do you happen to know if it's anything that we can assist with?

[retellers]

Your efforts will be what gathers the nova... but we will try and make the process as clear as we can, when the time comes.

[recrowns]

Mm, alright... So a few days?

[he hums thoughtfully]

It seems I already lost a memory this morning... and there's another odd feeling I can't quite shake. Do you think I might be losing more in the days to come?

I wouldn't suppose you would know if there's a pace to it...

[retellers]

We hoped that with our memories, the process for all of you would be slowed down... but it'll still happen. [ their shoulders droop. ] I'm sorry we couldn't be of more help...

[ but they think for a moment. ]

I don't know if it'll be consistent. But it shouldn't be anything like with what happened to us, I think.

[ so, not everything immediately. ]

[recrowns]

Mm...

[he offers up a small, understanding smile]

It's alright. I'm not angry, if that's a concern you possess. You needn't apologize for something that is out of your control.

May I ask you more about that - what happened to your memories? Did you elect to have them taken from you in a trade for ours - or did it happen as soon as you arrived?

[retellers]

[ they're quiet for a moment. ]

I don't recall exactly... I know it was willing, but I don't remember the process.

[recrowns]

[ . . . . he turns to them, curious.]

Even if it's your duty to answer questions, I hope you'll refrain from doing anything painful on my behalf.

[if this line of questioning makes them uncomfortable - soo-won isn't the type to stop from asking questions, but he'll understand that in something as personal as this, it's not necessary to advance his interests.

only quell his curiosity]

But what is it like - to live without your memories?

[retellers]

[ no painful things on soo-won's behalf. duly noted, soo-won. and also promptly thrown out of the window, probably. ]

... I don't know. Everything feels unfamiliar to me, but... um, it seems that may be how I always am. The other Leaders know so much, like what a "condom" is. Though none of them would explain to me what "knocking someone up" means...

[recrowns]

[HGHKK

yea he's turning red]

I-It's rather lewd, so perhaps that's for the best.

[NOOOOOOOOO GOAT]

[retellers]

I know it has to do with sex, since Tiger told me that you would all be having intercourse frequently here? I'm not sure if that's a good priority to have, but I suppose we cannot stop you.

[ i'm sorry soo-won ]

[recrowns]

We - what?

[HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO START HERE]

No no no no no no no no no no [too many no's, soo-won], that's not a priority of mine in the slightest.
