The boy who wants to buy and sell was new, so Tachibana is hoping that he's just confused himself as to what to do. I spoke to him firmly at the time, but would like to give him another chance.

The other man, that is him. But he also walked around with Tachibana and gave a tour of the town, so judging him harshly for words would feel strange. Please don't feel a need to do anything on Tachibana's account.

[squanderlust]

The first one may be worth a second chance, but Dio has burned through enough. Listen to me, Tachibana. Dio is dangerous. He is deadly, with strength and abilities to match a god, and he does not die. I wish I could say I only have his words to judge him on, but he has done unforgivable things.

If you want to keep talking with him, I can't stop you. But be careful.

[ That catches her off guard, and it takes a moment to respond. She's kind of grateful it's text. The fact that not everyone here is human is something that she's learned by now, but hearing someone referring to as matching a god and unable to die is something else. More importantly, someone who is evil and matches that description. ]

Tachibana has no desire to be involved with those who do evil, unless Tachibana can do something to protect others from them, or stop them. Don't worry. Thank you for the warning.

Tachibana will do her best to stay safe, for now.

[squanderlust]

Tachibana is a good person. I don't want to see her get hurt if it can be avoided.

And that I actually care about people like this is kind of a secret of my own, so there we go. Now we're even.

[justbloodlust]

Don't worry, Tachibana won't tell anyone. We're going to be friends, after all! It's a relief to know someone is looking out for me.

[squanderlust]

Yeah, well. You remind me of some people I used to know, I guess. And maybe I miss them a little.

[justbloodlust]

It's hard, isn't it? But Tachibana doesn't mind if that's why we're friends.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

[squanderlust]

That's not the only reason we're friends. That's just one of them. I'm just not good at talking about that stuff.

[justbloodlust]

As Tachibana said, everyone has to start somewhere!

Tachibana thinks you're doing fine.

[squanderlust]

That means a lot, Tachibana. Thanks.

[she feels like she should say something more, but nothing is really coming. making friends is difficult.]

[justbloodlust]

[ Despite her eagerness, she's not sure what else to say either, so all she sends in the end is... ]

[squanderlust]

What is that.

[justbloodlust]

It's a happy person with their arms up! It's supposed to show you Tachibana is happy without words. Sometimes words are hard, and sometimes they seem kind of cold in text, without the tone behind them.

It makes some things easier, like Tachibana admitting to lying. But it also makes some things harder.

[squanderlust]

I see.

I've just been drawing in smiling faces.

[justbloodlust]

You have a book, like that lord does, right? But Tachibana has a phone, so you can't just draw the same way. You have to use the characters available to make things.

It's strange to think Tachibana's phone is talking to Severa's book.

[squanderlust]

I'm still coming to terms with what a phone is, to tell you the truth. I guess this isn't something that phones can do normally?

[justbloodlust]

It's more that it isn't something books can do. A phone couldn't normally communicate with a book because a book doesn't normally connect to anything, it just exists. You can read it or write in it, but it doesn't show anyone else what you're doing.

[squanderlust]

I know that the books here are a little different than the ones I've read before. I just didn't know whether you'd been able to "connect" whatever this phone thing is to books in your world. I suppose that's not how they work.

All this technology is strange. I don't understand why you couldn't have stuck with pens and quills.

[justbloodlust]

Tachibana isn't an expert either. Phones are just a part of life where I'm from, but I've never been the kind to use one constantly.

They're nice to have for emergencies though.

[squanderlust]

I suppose being able to contact anyone at any time no matter where they are would be useful.

You have that privilege now, by the way. If you ever have an emergency, contact me. As your friend and a Shepherd, I'll do what I can to help.

[justbloodlust]

Thank you. Tachibana will be sure to do so.

You can contact me too, if you ever need anything. Tachibana can't travel through time and doesn't know any dragon gods, but Tachibana will help as much as possible.

[squanderlust]

That's for the best. If you're ever in a position where you need to talk to a dragon god and travel through time, you probably have bigger problems.

[she draws in a little winking face.]

[justbloodlust]

Probably so. ;)
