GENKI SILENT PROTAG. She'll probably strong-arm you into doing something ridiculous, and do so with the cutest smile on earth. She might also poke you with a naginata if you're a punk.
THE SASSY PROTAG. a phantom thief with a heart of gold. lives rebelliously and without regrets, though spends most of his time feigning a very unassuming persona. #nailedit
A true sunshine protagonist. Country bumpkin, slow on the uptake. Wants to be everyone's friend. Swordian Master of fire, incredibly hot-blooded. A GOOD BEAN. Please love him. He's my favorite and I am biased.
The original fabulous Tales science lady. Probably wants to dissect you pretty shamelessly. Loves and adores cute things. Inventor of the Swordians. Definitely the definition of Mad Scientist.
I am afraid not. It is very important to me that I obtain that treasure.
[She won't argue that there's no stopping her, because...well, this is important to her for a myriad of reasons she won't get into. She doesn't care if Haru takes the entire prize for finding the item--she just wants the item itself, to see if it's got a fairy in it or not.
But she's not going to say any of that, of course; it's inviting too many questions, and it's none of his business anyway.]
Let us continue, then. Perhaps there is another bridge further along the cliffside. It would seem foolish to build only one.
[it's definitely a bit strange for him to work alongside someone who has seemingly different goals for this situation; working with the party has always been about trying to achieve the same things.
fortunately, haru is adaptable enough. he needs the reward money. if he can get even a few golds for it, then it would be worth the effort. they'd be able to live on that a bit longer with some cushion. which... they need. so it's important to haru too, even if he doesn't seem to be making much light of that.]
Yeah, you're probably right. They'd be pretty screwed in a situation like this if they didn't have another bridge somewhere.
[this was a convenient location, but maybe not the only one.]
Let's try going this way first and see if we can find anything.
[he's learned that sometimes, it's just better not to question other people's actions. it's safer that way—and it's not his business, even if he gets curious.
it'll really only be if something questionable happens that he'll cast doubt or really press on it. tiara seems more than capable, even... well, even in heels.
(how do girls fight in them? maybe that's something he needs to ask them later—even though none of them actually do go venturing out in heels. huh.)]
Yeah, it looks like a good start. It's not like we have that many choices anyway—we might as well see what's up there. [something useful, he hopes. he'd rather not walk the whole length of this cliff without finding another bridge or way across.
that can't happen, right?] It would be better if we could take care of everything by nightfall. Finding a safe place to camp may be tough.
[she's not wrong, after all. and her being a bit gung-ho at least keeps him motivated. he grasps at his dagger as they start heading into unknown territory—
at least his thief class training helps in his ability to do that much, stepping lightly as he looks to tiara.]
I can go up a bit ahead and make sure the path is clear. [if she wants him to. he's not sure how comfortable she is with being left even that close to alone, especially in the event something approaches from behind.]

Well, it helps to have a frontliner for when she's casting her spells, even if she does have her staff.]
I believe that is the best idea we have at the moment. Shall we continue?
[At least she's eager and willing... even in heels.
ONWARDS.]
I believe this way looks promising.

For now, Tiara just walks forward, onwards and focused on their main goal here.]
...Yes, I would certainly rather return to civilization before nightfall. I do not much look forward to camping out in this.
[UGH.... roughing it.]
no subject
[on top of just not particularly wanting to have to do it and not being entirely prepared for it...
well, it could just be plain dangerous. haru's got no idea what kind of monsters may be around at night.
so it could be less "roughing it" and more "trying to survive it," which is just not ideal at all.]
no subject
Hmph. Then let us make it a nonissue, and find a way across as quickly as possible!
[Easier said than done, but at least she's gungho about it...?]

And she does hesitate a moment, looking uncertain, hand held close to her chest, before she nods quietly.]
... That should be fine. I will remain here.
