So, um...

[A heavy, heavy pause. Cool, good start, Remington. Really nailing this whole thing.]

I haven't had a chance to say anything about it earlier because of...you know...everything.

[Quentin's post below his is telling enough as it is.]

But I used some, um, leftover wood scraps from the church rebuilding to make these, ah, ornamental markers? I gave them to the forest spirits and asked them to hang them on eye-level tree branches on the trees that they call home, so we don't accidentally knock something down for lumber that we shouldn't.

[He clears his throat.]

So that's all. If you see them. Um, that's what they are. I'll make more every so often so it'll reach places farther in...but...yeah...okay, bye. Thanks?

Oh! I think I ran into one of those the other day.

[Literally. Ran into the tree. Fun times.]

[axegirlfriend]

You didn't hurt yourself, did you?

[He's joking. He gives like, a little wheeze of a laugh. He seriously just, he didn't think that...this is already embarrassing.]

[mellowyellow]

Nah, just a minor shoulder booboo. A fair princess' kiss would heal it right up!

[Embarrassing? That's Masaomi's favorite word.]

[axegirlfriend]

Ah...

[He sputters in surprise. He...he really hurt himself? Seriously?]

Well, um, I'm sure...if there's anywhere you can find one it'll be here...somewhere.

[Gigglesnort. That's all it takes to throw this guy off? That's hilarious.]

You think? If you ask me, this place doesn't seem very fair to princesses at all.

[axegirlfriend]

Well, I guess...nothing in life is fair, so why should the afterlife be any different?

[It's a joke, but, like, rooted deeply in his own sense of unending misery.]

Anyway, historically speaking, princesses rarely ever live under very fair circumstances.

[mellowyellow]

And that, my friend, is why knights in shining armor were invented!

[That's him. He's the knight who saves the princesses. Except when he's running into trees.]

[axegirlfriend]

Just, ah...try not to get yourself killed rescuing the princess from the high tower.

[He realizes suddenly that Robin kind of does fit that description. Huh.]

[mellowyellow]

I make no such promises.

[The following wink is audible.]
