[ accidental video / canon update ]

[second_star]

[ The video feed opens up to what looks like the inside of an abandoned ruin. Yuri, Rita, and the rest of the party can be seen walking in. ]

[ ooc: 3:13 to the end of the video. The feed cuts just as Yuri stands to face the monster. As usual, replies will come an hour or so later, after the fight is over. Replies will come both from Yuri and Rita (blahblahblah) ]

You will never let that subject fall, will you?

[second_star]

The fact that you got monsters too has me curious.

[eternallybored]

Then I should have you know I am well-protected. Virtually, there is no need for me to know combat. [ Okay, now she's just avoiding it on purpose. ]

[second_star]

Not even for fun? I mean, I did learn how to sword fight so I could protect myself as a kid, but I enjoyed it too.

[eternallybored]

[ ... ] Why are you so interested if I know hot to fight or not? Do you wish to challenge me if I did, perhaps?

[second_star]

[ A shrug. ]

Not really. Just wondering, that's all. Besides, you're the one who keeps dodging the question. [ Busted. ]

[eternallybored]

My, my, it seems I have been caught. [ Another sip of tea. ]

[second_star]

How do you plead?

[eternallybored]

I will not say anything over this community, Yuri.

[second_star]

Haha, fair enough. [ Jeez, dodgy today, are we? ] Should I just take all of that as a "No, I don't fight"?

[eternallybored]

If you wish for proof, you would have to stand before me; that is all.

[second_star]

Kinda hard to do from all the way over here, but whatever you say. I'll try to remember that.

[eternallybored]

Oh, please do.

[ Yeah... no. Time passes so quickly for her she doubts she'll ever see him (or anyone on the comm) again, actually. Such is her life. She doesn't even think she'd see him complete the task she assigned earlier. ]

[second_star]

No promises. [ He just smiled. ]

I'll try and get you that dragon claw next time. That twenty year time limit is ticking pretty fast. [ Not that he'd need that much time. ]

[eternallybored]

It is in bad humor to keep a princess waiting. [ And she hides a smile behind a sleeve. Because, well, the irony of it. ]

[second_star]

Yeah, doesn't look like you get to do much else. Wouldn't want to bore you.

[eternallybored]

You already have, [ More like everything has. :| ] but do not fret, for I have nothing else to do but be bored.

[second_star]

Ouch, that hurts. [ Said with a smile on his face. ] Just when I was beginning to think I was good at entertaining royalty.

You should get a hobby or something, Kaguya.

[eternallybored]

[ ... ] For someone like me "hobbies" tend to be dangerous things.

[ For other people. She's not trying to be that kind of long lived person. Been there/done that already otherwise. ] They are as transient as life.

[second_star]

Sounds more like you just haven't found one that will stick.

[eternallybored]

No, Yuri. None will stay. It is inevitable.

[second_star]

[ Well, that sounded defeatist. He gave her a bit of a look, but, didn't really question it. ]

Whatever you say, your highness. Just don't die of boredom on me.

[eternallybored]

...Dying of boredom is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. [ And she's heard lots of weird stuff you know. So have a rather... un-princess-like snicker. ]

[second_star]

Hey, it can happen, you never know. That'd make for an interesting gravestone.

[eternallybored]

Such a tragedy it would be for that individual. I could not even imagine it.
