[Closed]

Date & Time: June 27, morning
Location: Marketplace
Characters: Emil Castagnier, Suzaku Kururugi
Summary: For once, the two are meeting outside of a mission.
Warnings: None.

[Another day, another trip to the market - Emil still hasn't quite gotten the hang of modern technology like refrigerators, and it's nicer to get ingredients fresh (as much as he can here, at least) instead of always worrying about spoiling like he does when traveling. He's gotten more used to the bustle of the marketplace in his three months in this world, and since recovering from the virus (along with certain other events) he's feeling in a good mood.

So when Emil spots somebody he recognizes from the missions he's been on, he satisfies his curiosity and approaches.]

We've met before, haven't we? I don't think I ever caught your name.

[Suzaku you don't even know.]

No, I didn't. The town I lived in was pretty small.

[ He really doesn't. :( ]

This might not be easy to explain then... Basically... when you think of a Knightmare think of something vaguely human shaped made out of metal.

Like a golem?

[That fits, right? Except metal, instead of clay or rock!]

[ Suzaku has to think about that for a moment. He's kind of familiar with the concept, but since they don't really exist in his world he's got to debate over it for a few seconds. ]

Something like that, yeah.

And you use those to fight?

[Most people can't do that where he's from. Huh.]

Some of us do. There are restrictions on who they allow to pilot them, so I'm actually something of an exception when it comes to pilots.

An exception...so do you have to have some kind of ability?

[Makes sense, sort of like magic or Emil's own relationship with monsters, only somebody's made rules out of it.]

[ Shaking his head. ]

No, nothing like that. Just a high compatibility with the Lancelot. Uh, that is, one of the Knightmares a couple of my friends created.

Oh! Well, it's good that you two get along so well then. How long has it been since you started?

[ A laugh. He's not sure Emil is totally getting what a Knightmare is, but he won't try to correct him now since it doesn't matter that much. He doubts he'll see the Lancelot again before he leaves this world anyway. ]

Not that long actually. It's been less than a year.

That still sounds like a while. A lot can happen in that time.

[ A forced smile and he seems sort of preoccupied with looking elsewhere now. ]

A lot has.

[Did he say something wrong...?]

Huh?

[ Things at home are just really complicated at the moment, but they've been complicated for years now. ]

Nothing. Just thinking about what's been going on in my world or late. Or what was? I'll admit I'm still not sure I totally understand how time passes between the worlds.

I don't either, to be honest. But if something's wrong, I hope your world is all right.

[ There's a lot of things wrong with his world, tbh. ]

I hope so too. I know the biggest problem my world has happens to be here at the moment though, so I'm not as worried as I could be.

Right. Stopping the United Earth here is the first thing we have to do. I'm still worried about my home, like you, but...we really can't do much if we don't stop them first.

[It's kind of his responsibility.]

[ A frown. He actually meant the man who was the biggest problem in his world, Zero, happens to be at Exsilium too, but he's not going to correct Emil about that, because... ]

You're right. There's no telling when they'll try targeting another world again, or even what world it would be.

That's probably a good reason to work hard here. I already started training a lot when I first got here, so...

Right... How much training did you have before coming here anyway?

I learned to fight a few months before then. And after that I had to do it a lot, so I picked it up as we traveled.

[ He looks pretty surprised. The way Emil was managing to hold his own he would have assumed he'd been training for a lot longer than that. ]

But you're still new to most of this?

To some of the things in this world, I suppose I am, but when it comes to fighting I've gotten pretty strong.

I don't doubt that, I've seen you fight before. Still... it's impressive that you've come that far in such a short period of time.

Is it? Well...I had a little help, I guess.
