[Anyone who happens to walk by on the road beside House 28 this evening will be treated to a rather unusual sight: a cloud of fireflies hovering around the front lawn, greenish-yellow lights flickering as they fly back and forth, following the movement of a tiny orb of light.
Closer inspection reveals the source of said orb of light as Richard, who is seated in the grass-- he's using a tiny bit of Hyt's power to combine with his own magic (the base for a Holy Lance, not that he's going to cast the entire thing), creating a soft white glowing sphere that hovers a couple of inches above his finger. As he moves his hand to trace mindless patterns in the night air, the orb follows it, and the fireflies follow that in a parade of blinking lights. Richard can't quite hide his amusement at this, reflected in the slight smile on his face. It may be an odd way to spend one's birthday, but to Richard, it's more than fine-- not that he doesn't appreciate what Asbel and the others have done for him. He just needs a little time to himself to unwind after all of that.
But if anyone wanders by, he'll be happy to converse with them. He wouldn't be in a public place if he didn't feel like talking to anyone, after all.]

Oh, yes, I agree. When I was in the castle, I would lose myself in such stories, and imagine that I was there. My favorites are fairy tales and stories about true love.
[There is a slight pink tinge to her cheeks as she admits this. It wasn't often that she got to talk to others about her love for books and stories. Her friends from back home were not really interested in such things.]

I always wanted to be one of those heroes, slaying monsters and protecting the kingdom, but... well. I suppose some things can only happen in books.

[Sigh.]
Yes, some things do only happen in books. But, I never would have imagined I'd have the experiences I did with my friends. That I would go on a journey around the world.

[He sounds very interested in this.]
I've been fortunate enough to see a great deal of my own world, but I know there are still countless things I have yet to see for myself. Someday I'd like to get the chance to just travel and explore, to go wherever I'd like and just experience things.

[Wow... it's almost as if she and Richard were kindred spirits.]
