I hope so. Maybe there will be something out here we need to be doing, but... together is better.

[silentknight]

Yeah, me too.

Are you doing stuff out there?

[doesnothappen]

Yeah... some fighting, but mostly searching.

[silentknight]

Any luck?

[doesnothappen]

I think so. Sometimes it's hard to tell what's important.

[silentknight]

Why?

[doesnothappen]

Well, Josh can tell if we find something magical, but sometimes there's stuff that might mean something but we can't read it, or that kind of thing.

[silentknight]

Ah.

[doesnothappen]

Luckily, we can carry a lot.

[silentknight]

You're very strong!

Mau?

[doesnothappen]

I meant their inventories, but... hmm?

[silentknight]

Can you tell me a story?

[doesnothappen]

...yes, certainly. Any special kind?

[silentknight]

Hmm.... I don't know. I just want to hear one, from you.

[doesnothappen]

All right. Get comfortable.

[silentknight]

[settles in!!!]

[doesnothappen]

This is a story of a time not so long ago, in the world that is my home.

[silentknight]

[probably is hugging a pillow, resting her chin on the top, and watching intently]

[doesnothappen]

Once there was a girl, the daughter of a king.

[he pauses to get comfortable himself, leaning back against... something, a pillar or a tree, it's hard to make out]

[silentknight]

A princess?

[doesnothappen]

Yes, a princess. But she did not know she was a princess, and her father did not know he was the king.

[silentknight]

Why?

[doesnothappen]

He was away from his country, on a long journey, when he became needed for that position, and his daughter had followed after him. So they were lost and far from home when they became king and princess.

[silentknight]

Oh.

[doesnothappen]

The daughter was chasing after her father on a great ship, when a huge storm came.
