『Talk』

"I can't believe he actually went out on a date," Runa was overlooking a large window watching the southern entrance of the Castle, and out towards the City, on the third floor.

Kokei was standing there leaning against the frame of the window, staring outside, as if longing to go out there. The only problem was the general population would freak should they see him.

All of his items which he wore, made him out to be a monk.

He wouldn't be able to see the sun, not freely. He wouldn't be able to touch anyone, anything, it wasn't safe to do so.

The skeleton's eyes drifted on over towards Runa who had spoke a few seconds ago and shook his head. "He's using it as an opportunity to move around the city."

"With a Witness?" Runa looked to him with a brow raised, resting her hands on the windowsill in front of her. "What would be the point of having a witness?"

"Boast Material," Kokei's jaw shifted slightly as his eyes went back towards the lit outside world. "I can only assume, he wants others to see he has the Lord's Daughter twisted around his finger. That he has the power to inherit the castle."

Runa blinked at the educated guess which had been brought to her attention. "What made you think of that?"

"Remember when Jack killed Nakajima? The guy didn't even feel sick about what he did... And had enough constitution to set up a portal soon after!"

Runa shrugged a bit when Kokei had pointed another fact out to her, "I'm sure it was premeditated."

"Eh?"

"When we were in the dungeon, Jack was prepared to let Nakajima die as many times as he saw fit in order to see if the revival statues worked like they did in game." Runa informed the skeleton who had been probably too afraid to actually acknowledge this at the time.

"Ah..." Kokei would bring his pointy bone digits to his chin in thought, scratching at his jawline. "Well, at least we found out they did."

Runa shook her head slightly, "At first they did. However, once the resurrection magic was used, I noticed that the first statue no longer had the effect."

"What'd you do, appraise it?"

"Mhm, when we were hiding behind it, I was wondering if we could use the cave in order to keep coming back whilst we fought. Didn't seem to be the case." Runa let out a quiet sigh, "Though we do have some revival items, one of us have to be alive to use them on another person."

"I should have at least warned Jack though," the skeleton let out a sigh, remembering how Jack appeared and found no one visibly there waiting for him. "Has anyone heard of a cowardly Lich?"

The female elf couldn't help but let out a sigh, nodding slightly. The one person who had been able to warn him, the skeleton right in front of her who had said something, had been too afraid.

"Has anyone ever heard of a cowardly Lich that is a master chief?" Runa reminded him of the omelets and his recreation of Ketchup, a grin across her lips as she did so.

As the jaw of the skeleton dropped, he stared at her. He could see the shine in her eye, how she looked at him, even though he had nothing to give in a physical means.

"You're a rarity, Kokei, especially in this world." Her eyes shifted towards the front gates as she still hadn't seen Jack and the unlucky girl she had sent off with him.

"I wish I could've tasted actual food for the first time," the skeleton mage let out a quiet sigh as he moved his fingers to his teeth. "The only thing I actually remember is the texture of nutrient paste..."
