post palace hot pot party (week 7)

[townmusician]

[Yoon's Palace has faded away, but the fact the God of Conflict decided to show up and intervene again...

Well, that's! Not a good sign! To say the least! But there's nothing to be done about that right now, and Haruka isn't of the mind to really sit and wonder about divine conflicts and grandstanding and all of that, anyways. It's not his problem. The people who deal with that sort of thing on the regular can be in charge of all of that.

What he's in charge of (by virtue of being annoying) is... hot pot. Specifically rounding up everyone and dragging them out to a hot pot restaurant in the city.

He'll miss having money but... he'll just have to work hard to earn it back... Have fun, everyone. (Or maybe he can find a way to charge Mina for this?)]

...It's alright. I'm unashamed of it.

[ It was hard, yeah. It sucked quite a bit. Yoon doesn't want pity for it, though. It's just part of who he is. ]

My past taught me a lot of things that I can use now...and Ik-soo taught me some things that made me able to stop stealing from other people.

[moodwrecker]

Like what?

[strawsandals]

Ah, I learned how to make sandals out of straw from him. I was good at it, so I ended up being able to sell and trade those for necessities.

[ Which meant stealing wasn't necessary anymore. ]

...I owe him a lot.

[moodwrecker]

And then you met all those others sometime after that?

[strawsandals]

Yeah. I found Yona and Hak badly injured nearby, and I took them in to patch them up. That's how we met. Ik-soo heard of Yona's mission to find the dragons, and he wanted me to go with them...since it'd be in line with my dreams of traveling the world.

[ He shrugs. ]

It feels like it's been forever, but it wasn't that long ago.

[moodwrecker]

[Huh.]

You were interested in traveling?

[Though she's going to eat more hot pot while he answers.]

[strawsandals]

Mmhmm. I was always stuck where I was, and I wanted to learn more about the world and see it for myself. There are a lot of ugly truths hidden in it, but that makes me just want to make it better.

[ He says this like the sentiment isn't noble at all. It's just who he is. ]

[moodwrecker]

...That's a pretty big goal.

[Couldn't be her.]
