Sapphire

[dramatispersonae]

When you enter your team's clearing, you feel an uncomfortable chill, a cold that settles in your chest. Even under the sun, you can't seem to warm up as you shiver. At least, you still can move about albeit with some sniffling, coughs, and sneezes.

In the center of the clearing, there is a small patch of overturned earth, dense and fibrous.

To his beard? Seriously?

An acquaintance of mine has a similar one.

I'm afraid that's impossible. Selenia infuses his facial hair with a character that no one else can hope to match, even if their beard is superficially similar.

Oh? Well, I wouldn't disagree. But Tetsu's manner and appeal are a decidedly different sort, regardless.

Tetsu? That doesn't sound like an Aather name.

It's not. He's an old teammate, though he is here, on Peridot. He remembered his name and title right away, or I might have kept them from him to see what he did, to be honest.

Re: Discussion

Well! It seems I'll need to discover if he's worthy of associating with you.

Re: Discussion

Eh-

Re: Discussion

... Hmph, I bet he'll appreciate the challenge.

Re: Discussion

If he is up to it, that will be a good start.

Re: Discussion

I suppose we'll see how he fares against you.
