[this is it-- Atroma's surprise vacation stay for you all! it's time to explore, speculate, relax, and totally behave yourselves. right?

how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

I bet you're all excited and completely thrilled to be here! who wouldn't be? ...so, make some discoveries, make some friends, and have fun!]

[ This isn't Tales of the Abyss, Shirley. Only Luke would be that sheltered.

Ahem. Aaron looks startled at the offer and gives her a rather confused and put-out look while the shopkeep merely snatches the change and makes a large shooing gesture to Aaron and Shirley both. ]

You didn't have to do that.

[hearsthesea]

[Shirley leaves as obliged with a nod to the shopkeeper, although she keeps facing Aaron's direction so she can properly respond to him.]

He had to get his payment somehow, and I didn't know if you had the money.

[mysterzie]

[ Aaron's pretty ready to follow Shirley now that his entertainment with the shopkeeper is done and gone. ]

So you'd just pay for a stranger's stuff, just like that?

[hearsthesea]

[Picking up strays now? Maybe not.]

It was only an apple.

[mysterzie]

So?

[ Apples, oranges, bananas, whatever. Someone paying for another person is... weird. ]

You trying to pay it forward or something?

[hearsthesea]

No, although it would be good if you did. But otherwise it was only a small problem, and no trouble to help with.

[This might be easier if the question weren't "Why?" but more "Why not?"]

[mysterzie]

You're really weird...

[ Says the shapeshifting, teleporting runaway. ]

[hearsthesea]

I've been called far worse than that.

[Once you start pioneering interracial politics, "weird" is almost a compliment.]
