001 [action]

[recklessice]

[Beach. When did the last time Kaito got into the beach? He doesn't recall that, and he never been here unless he has a reason. Maybe he must be dreaming, but how could it be possible to dream when he can feel the heat?

This reminds him of the last summer, where he with his siblings and friends gathered around and play volleyball, making sandcastle, smack the watermelon, chasing around, swims in the ocean, and favorite moment when it's just him and ice cream. That didn't happen now.]

What a loner. The scenery is just perfect. But what I really want this summer is much worse than the previous. Why I do deserve to have this punishment? As I recalled, I didn't do anything wrong... Unless I did something.

[free_lancer]

No, I'm merely curious.

[recklessice]

Curious that male could sing?

[Hey, it's normal.]

[free_lancer]

Not specifically men. I've known plenty of male bards in my time.

[recklessice]

Oh, good! I thought it'd be awkward to have good looking guy who can actually sing!

[free_lancer]

My voice is not where my pride is, Kaito.

[It is quite nice, though.]

[recklessice]

Haha, I really can tell you're more like a bodyguard than a singer.

[free_lancer]

I am a knight through and through, though as I said, I am short a master to pledge my loyalty to.

[recklessice]

A knight.

[Now that makes sense on why Lancer said 'bard' instead of singer. Although Kaito thinks it's impossible Lancer came from Arthurian century.]

So, your master is some kind of prince or king perhaps?

[free_lancer]

[He's not quite Arthurian.

Plus, he's Irish.]

My first master was Lord Fionn mac Cumhail. My second was the great mage Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi.

[Lancer suddenly looks a bit forlorn.]

[recklessice]

Just like in the movie.

[Then he sees that look.]

Ah, I can see why. I'm sorry.

[free_lancer]

Hm?

What movie?

[recklessice]

Oh, it's nothing. My master used to watch movies that related with kingdoms and stuffs. Come to think of it, there are also bunch of games like that too.

[free_lancer]

Oh. I thought you may have referred to something in particular.

[Diarmuid briefly thought he may have revealed too much... in fact, his previous lord's name was too much already.]

[recklessice]

It wasn't the same, right? Haha, I'm thinking this out loud.

[free_lancer]

No, not at all. Just my own assumptions being made.

[recklessice]

Well, that's about your life, I won't going to ask.

I could be real or not.
