dramadramaduck | [video] // amicae carae meae

[Lancer was staring out the window when the recording starts--wearing perfectly normal civilian clothes. As far as he was concerned, it really didn't suit him...but then again, it was far easier to go around dressed like a human rather than a fully-armored knight. He assumed he'd get used to it, and he had to admit the glasses weren't so bad when it came to keeping one's focus off of his face. Even with the amulet, that kind of thing made him a little uneasy.]

[But that wasn't what was on his mind today. Leaning his head on one hand, the knight simply watched nothing in particular out the nearest window for a moment or two. There was a strangely wistful look on his face, the kind that few if any had ever seen him with before. Whatever he was thinking of, it was distracting enough to have him lost in his own thoughts. Even so, it didn't take long for gold eyes to shift in the direction of the video--one didn't simply miss a floating magic book recording them. At least, not often.]

Hm. Can't leave me alone, can you...? Very well.

[He stopped speaking under his breath after that, taking off his glasses and continuing to look at whatever was outside the window.]

I have something of a personal question in mind, but I'll ask it all the same since the community seems to insist.

Do you ever think about friends that you know you will not see again?

Sometimes I do, when I'm alone with my thoughts.

What's up?

Exactly that--alone with my thoughts and thinking too much.

Is there a reason you're all alone with your thoughts?

Nice duds by the way.

That kinda crap's too depressing. So nope.

I suppose it is a little depressing.

The way I see it, if you already know you're never gonna see your buddies again, there's no point in moping and pining over 'em all the time.

It's just quiet here, that's all.

Really? I can't quite get used to this, I feel a little ridiculous now and then.

Perhaps, but is it wrong to miss them all the same?

Nah, but if it's just gonna be making you feel depressed you'd be better off getting over it.

Quiet...quiet is dull, you need a remedy for that. I can think of a few things that'd shake you out of your thoughts.

Hm...you blend in, I guess that's important, but you did look special in your old armor.
