 Tear sighed, wondering what to do with herself as she wandered through the central area of the city. It was early afternoon, just before lunch, and the streets were filled with others going about their day and their morning chores.
Somehow, though, she found herself at a loss. Her life had been devoted to the Hunters for several years now, yet today there were no new recruits to train, no plans to make, and no missions to go on. It was a slow day, and everything that did need to be done was being handled by someone else. The higher ups had suggested that it might be good for her to take a day off and have some fun, so she'd left the guild and gone off towards the city's markets.
But what kind of things did people do for fun, anyway?
She glanced around at the shops and restaurants lining the streets. The alleys were filled with a mixture of chatting, arguing, and laughter, but for the most part everyone around her seemed to be having a good time. Perhaps she was always so focused on work that she'd simply forgotten how to? After all...she used to smile back when she'd been younger, back when she'd explored the same streets with her older brother.
Feeling a bit out of place, she kept walking down the sidewalk, coming to a halt when she noticed a nice looking cafe. It was about time for lunch...maybe she should stop here and order something to eat.
The girl opened the door, peering within the building. It was crowded, likely due to the hour, but she made her way inside, looking for a menu.

Walking within the bustling streets of the city had always made Lorem a bit uneasy, yet at ease. An odd thing for one to sum things up, yet the general hadn't gotten around to have any social interaction in quite some time. He would much rather write reports, to prepare and organize...anything to drive the world away and keep to his own thoughts. His superiors suggested that he took some time to take his mind out of work. However, things didn't seem to change much so far. No danger equaling to an mundane setting, one that Lorem would certainly want to drive himself away from.
He went into the nearest cafe at his side. The time meant that the place was packed as an overstuffed burlap sack, and it wouldn't change for quite a bit. He eventually took to a seat and looked into the menu with a sigh. "A usual day off with nothing special...why would anyone be surprised?..."

After locating a menu from a shelf near the entrance, the next order of business was to find somewhere to sit. It would be much more convenient to figure out what she wanted to order after she already had somewhere to rest. Finding an open table was easier said than done during lunch rush, though, she quickly realized.
Unfortunately, it appeared that every table was taken by at least one person. Tear hesitated for a moment. She was the type who would generally rather sit by herself than with someone she didn't know, but it didn't look like she had that option. It didn't look like the cafe was going to empty out any time soon, either. She glanced around again...she was going to have to ask someone if she could join them, but who?
Then she blinked, catching sight of a man sitting by himself. He looked...familiar. She pondered over it for a moment before she suddenly placed him. That's right - he was a fellow General. She hadn't spoken to him much, but she recognized his face.
Coming to a decision, she padded over to where he was sitting. "Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here as well?" She asked, in her usual, business-like tone. At least he was someone from the same organization - they had something in common. |

The chatter and skirting of kitchen appliances and dining all felt like a blur in the background as Lorem looked into Sena's locket. How long has it been since he last saw her, alive and full of will? The same could be said of his father as well. A cold shiver creped up on him as painful memories all flowed back in, not even noticing the faint tear tickling down his pale cheek. Her gurgled last words haunted him still, as if he heard them yesterday. A cruel symphony of anecdotes played in his mind in silence, as if the whole world was to be it's ghostly audience, never seeming to notice or care for a lone adventurer's loss. A woman's voice was all it took to snap Lorem back into reality, wanting to sit with him. He turned to notice none other than Tear Grants. He himself had heard of her several times, yet never truly met her up until this apparent moment. At a first glance, she did look as attractive as some of the others would say of her, disregarding the additional, crude comments of pervertedness that they would add as well. The tear stood still as he gave a faint smile and waved his hand to an accompanying chair. "Tear, um, a pleasure to meet you at last. Do take a seat, dear..."

♠ Tear blinked, caught off guard as she suddenly noticed something glisten on the man's cheek. ...Had she interrupted something? For a moment, she reconsidered her decision, about ready to politely excuse herself and back off once more, but then the man spoke, anchoring her feet in place again. His expression turned to a slight smile as he did, gesturing to an open seat at his table.
♠ Very well, it didn't seem the man minded her presence after all. She took his offer and sat herself down in a seat across from his, placing down her menu as well. "Likewise." She nodded to the man's greeting. "...Lorem Dupart, correct?" She hoped that was the right name. It'd taken her a moment to recall it. She wasn't really one for gossip and chatter, but she'd heard his name spoken of before several times - he had a good reputation based on what she'd heard, and was apparently quite a skilled gunslinger. They were both Generals, yet had never really worked together before. She supposed this was something like their first real meeting.
♠ "What brings you here to this cafe, if I may ask? Are you on a day off as well?" She asked, genuinely curious despite the somewhat controlled monotone nature of her voice. It was quite an unusual coincidence that she'd run into another General. As she spoke, she glanced down at the menu, trying to settle on what she'd have for lunch. Perhaps a vinaigrette salad and potato soup?

It was monotonous and distant, almost seeming to belong to an unemotive soul. For a bit, he wondered what kind of impression he was giving her. Judging from his own past actions, she would likely judge him from his own deeds and skill as a general, although Lorem still wondered if anyone would care for the Lorem behind the General Dupart. Would be wise to open up his personal side, just a little more? Nonetheless, the general nodded at her first question with a clearing of his slightly muffled throat. "Y-yes, that would be General Lorem Dupart, as some will say....or in this case, you could refer to me as L-Lorem.", the general said, staring down onto the menu once more. "I've heard quite a bit of your own deeds, miss, and I'm more than eager to have you around, disregarding the oddity of the setting and all."
Sena's locket glistened at the edge of Lorem's eyes, wrapped around his right hand. The light bothered him enough to get him out of his own near-trance, looking into Tear's eyes as he tried to smile again, the back of his mind wondering whether or not he may be bothering her. "Well, um, you could say that. The higher-ups had a lot of things covered today and it seemed that they didn't want to give me unnecessary stress." he said, taking a breath and thinking for a split second before continuing on. "May I say that you look...um...pleasant today?"

♠ There was an odd silence at first, Tear looking him over in an attempt to analyze what she could. There was a smile across his features. It was a kind smile, yet somehow felt oddly removed, or dis-attached. That was the kind of smile that often held sadness buried somewhere behind it, but she wasn't the type to ponder over such things. There was a clearing of his throat as the man spoke, answering her earlier question.
♠ Good, she'd gotten the name right, then. "Very well." She answered simply to his request for her to use his first name instead of his full title. She put down her menu now, having decided on her final order. "I've heard quite a bit about your feats, as well. It is an honor to finally have the chance to speak with you Mr Du..." She paused, correcting herself. "Lorem."
♠ Out of the corner of her eye, the young woman noticed something glistening again, though this time it was something different. Whatever the object was, it was distracting to the man. She absently wondered what it was, but the man himself seemed to try to put it out of his mind as he kept talking. "It does sound like a similar situation, then. I find that I'm having a hard time occupying myself outside of work. Do you mind if I ask if you've discovered anything fun to do here to pass the time?" She inquired, wondering if it was just her who felt out of place wandering the streets.
♠ His next comment caught her off-guard, though. She blushed instantly - a testament to how rarely she received compliments of any sort, due to her somewhat distant nature. And when she did, they were usually in regard to work. Pleasant? It seemed like rather unusual phrasing, but it was a compliment, nonetheless. "O-oh...umm. Thank you." She finally responded, trying not to look too surprised. Due to the rarity of the event, even a small compliment left her somewhat unsure of how to react.

As odd as it would sound to one, the female general's voice was a bit refreshing. Maybe it was more because that Lorem himself hasn't really had much conversation with someone else, let alone a woman, in quite a while, but he seemed pleased enough to have Tear for company. As she spoke of their own particular predicament, Lorem smiled a bit and said, "Well, I guess you could say that one could occupy his or herself with...just about anything. You could lose yourself in thought for so long and never notice time passing by...as if your mind is writing it's own critique on life and the world itself. Aside from that, I haven't really gotten much to do so far..." he finished, glancing over his menu before mentally making his final choice and pushing it to the side. "Since we're here, I wouldn't be so bad to get to know each other, would it?" he responded again with a slight chuckle, as his eyes darted down to the table for a moment. It was so humorous, seeing himself so casually, and in front of another general at that. He was beginning to suspect that he was being goofy, and especially with the comment he gave on Tear. Yet, as he raised his head again, about to open his mouth to apologize, he was met with a blushing general. She stuttered and eventually thanked him, as if she was never looked upon for her own beauty before. With how the other men would say of her, this was even more of a surprise if it were true. Although, it was likely the universal fear of having Tear rearrange one's skeleton that prevented anyone to step forward until now. Lorem was actually a bit pleased to know he made a pleasant enough reputation to even make someone like Tear comfortable enough to not murder him on the spot for liking her. "You look as if this is the first time that you've heard of the word "pleasant". Has no one ever really noticed your beauty as well as your skill?..."

♠ Tear listened quietly to Lorem's answer. ...You could occupy yourself with just about anything, huh? And a critique? That sounded slightly exhausting - she signed inwardly, figuring that there would be a lot to critique if one really got down to it, though on the other hand, she sort of understood what he meant. Back when she was younger, before she'd become so focused on her work, even simple little things had felt so much more entertaining and pleasant. She missed that, in some ways. Yet, even though this man had the same position that she did, he still seemed to be able to enjoy such things. She wondered what made him different in that way. Was it something one could learn to do?
♠ ""Since we're here, it wouldn't be so bad to get to know each other, would it?" It was his words that drew her back out of her thoughts. She nodded. "I suppose not." She agreed. She did have some genuine curiosity about the other General, and being familiar with your co-workers and allies was always beneficial. "So then... Do you mind if I ask how long you've lived here? Did you grow up here in Sylvia?" She asked, trying to find someway to start the conversation.
♠ She blinked a bit at his next words, though, slightly taken off guard again. ...Apparently he had noticed her reaction after all. She looked down a bit, trying to hide the fact that her face had gone slightly red again. "Well... I suppose I don't spend much time about that sort of thing." She eventually answered, having to think it over a moment, herself. "After all, my work is all that matters to me." She looked up as she spoke, forcing the usual business-like quality back in her voice. All that mattered was competence and usefulness - that was what she'd been taught and how she'd grown up.

"Well," Lorem began to say. "I've had been here for quite a while. Though, I didn't exactly grow up here." he said as he brought his locket onto the table, in plain sight. "I grew up in Kaysa for most of my life. My father was a warrior himself, and would help the Hunters in fighting off the creatures that would try and come to us..." Lorem spoke as he began to caress the shining piece of jewelry with his lone finger, distant memories coming into an abridged state of play. "He and my sister were both injured and killed when I was still young. As I grew, I decided to become a Hunter myself...to help those who couldn't help themselves. I parted from my mother years later, and in time, I became the person I am today..." he finished off with a more somber tone, try his best not to let too much of his anguish out. "I never mention how I came to be much, but I felt that saying it to you would be comfortable enough."
Lorem taken her words of taking affection into account afterwards, feeling a bit hesitant now. Would it seem that she sees something off on him?, he wondered. On the other hand, considering her position, it would seem that a sort of thing really is quite a rarity. Maybe, there would be something special in her yet, one may say. Clearing his throat, the general spoke again. "I see, then. Um, I mean, it's not like you should be so focused on overworking yourself...maybe there may be a time in one's life to take a moment and appreciate what they have in the world, to love and laugh...for just one moment." he said, feeling a tiny bit of hypocrisy and realization stinging him, knowing of his own tendencies to put his work above so much else. Perhaps this was what the higher-ups of the Hunters wanted him to consider. "We're both as away from the others as we could be...and, thankfully, I never treat others like objects...it's never that bad to bond..." he said softly, looking to her as bits of insecurity began to eat at his mind.

♠ The man started with a small sigh, Tear sitting quietly as she listened to his story. Her eyes strayed slightly to the locket as he placed it in front of him on the table, though she kept her focus on his words.
♠ The girl's gaze fell a bit as he finished with a tint of sadness in his voice. Perhaps she'd accidentally brought up some unpleasant memories. "I'm sorry." She commented solemnly in regards to the loss of his father and sister. "It sounds like a very noble reason to become a Hunter." She paused for a moment, thinking. "Originally, I become one only for the sake of an opportunity to get myself off the streets. I wonder if that was selfish of me?" She absently wondered aloud.
♠ "I wasn't born here, either." She explained, figuring that she owed him her own story since he'd obliged her question with his own. "I was born down in Phanna, though I did more or less grow up here. When I was younger, I lost my father, too - he was a fisherman and his boat capsized during a storm. And my mother...she became ill, and soon me and my older brother were alone. That's when we came here, in hopes that we'd be able to survive better in a larger city. He took care of me as if he were my father, but we were very poor, and it was unpleasant and uneventful living. That's why I choose to become a Hunter." It was unusual, she didn't usually like to talk about her past, either. But somehow she also found herself at ease talking to the fellow General as well. It felt...good, actually.
♠ She blinked at his next words, before a slight smile crept across her features. "Perhaps you're right. I don't know if I remember how to appreciate everything else anymore, but I think I did once. I suppose there's no reason I can't learn how to again." She nodded, partially lost in thought.
♠ At least, until she heard another voice approach them. "Excuse me, but have you two taken your order yet?" It was a waiter. "Oh..." Tear absently shook her head, realizing that she'd forgotten about lunch in the midst of their conversation. "I'm ready to order - I'll have peppermint tea and a rueben sandwich." She decided, handing the waiter her menu.

He listened closely to her words, growing a bit hesitant with words but still struggling, wanting to share with someone that came to be quite an interest. He cleared his throat at the given opportunity and spoke on. "Well, it is not of me to truly judge one right off the bat. I could see within you, Tear..." he said softly, looking into the other general's eyes with a soothed tone. "I know you want to do good...to help for the better. Beyond your basic reason to survive alongside your brother, you feel a need to truly preserve. That I value more in a lone person to care for the world than a thousand of the finest soldiers who would rather watch us burn."
As Tear spoke again, a smile crept upon Lorem's face as well, almost like a virus quickly spreading. "I'm glad that you're willing. Maybe there is a deeper meaning we could see in one another yet." he said with a soft chuckle and a slight blush. "I never get to say this much, but I've never been as enlightened by seeing an ally before I met you. As a matter of fact, I..."
Alas, just as he was speaking, a lone waiter finally came to them. Odd to see himself so focused in such a conversation that he would forget that he still needed to eat. Nonetheless, the man sighed and looked to the waiter as he came to him after Tear. "Um, just an onion soup and herbal tea, thank you." he said, giving his menu as he turned his head back to the woman. "S-sorry, I just got so caught up...you must think I'm silly."

♠ The man started speaking after another clear of his throat, his voice slow and kind and his eyes meeting hers.
♠ She felt a hint of surprise as his words, and then gave a small smile. "Thank you. I do feel a need to want to help this world pull through the current crisis, and I'm glad now that I'm in a position where I can." Indeed, having to just sit back and watch the world crumble would be both frustrating and painful. It wasn't about just wanting to find away for herself to survive anymore - the Hunter's had also given her a purpose worth devoting herself to.
♠ She blinked at her companion's next words, her own face flushing a slight red. ...A deeper meaning? The man was cut off, though, as the waiter came up.
♠ After taking both their orders, the worker went off and turned them in to the chef, leaving them be again. Tear gave a slight chuckle herself, something of a rarity for her, as Lorem finished speaking. "I'd forgotten in the midst of our conversation as well." She admitted, though maybe that wasn't a bad thing at all. "I've really enjoyed our conversation together, too. It's the first time I've ever really told my past to another ally, but somehow it feels good talking with you." The smile returned to her face, this time slightly warmer than her usual distant one.

It was quite a rarity, yet so delightful to see. Seeing how they were the only two Hunters here, free of any unwanted embarrassment, it told quite a bit of how she feels towards him. Perhaps, there was something in her that would help with the social reluctance. That, and much more...
"D-does it really?" Lorem started to say. "It would seem that there might be...something between us that we're seeing. I mean, here we are, away from the hustle of work, saying thing we wouldn't say otherwise." he paused with a chuckle as he went to wrap around Sena's locket under his own collar. "I may be right about that "deeper meaning" yet." her finished, giving the other general the warmest look he's ever given to another yet. It actually felt soothing to let things out, and especially with such a lovely other. "So, how is life and work on your end?"

♠ Tear found her face heating up again despite her best efforts at the man's next words and his slight giggle. She gave another, somewhat nervous, chuckle herself.
♠ And the unexpected thing was, it felt good. She felt better, more alive, than she had in long time. She enjoyed her work, too, but this felt different. Maybe warmth wasn't always such a bad thing. It was something of a new, or rather, long forgotten, feeling for her. But it wasn't unpleasant - not at all.
♠ ...A deeper meaning. There were those words again. She was quiet for a moment, fiddling with her sleeves, before looking back up and returning his warm smile. "...You just might be right." She realized.
♠ Then there was his other question, though her distracted thoughts made it somewhat difficult to focus on work now. "It's been pretty good lately, if a bit dull. I've mostly been given assignments regarding guarding or patrolling Sylvia itself. It's important in its own way, I suppose, but I have to admit feeling a bit restless. It'd be nice to get out of the city a bit more." Even if Sylvia was one of the nicer places in Opharis, there were still other places to see and other areas that needed help. "How has it been for you?"
