Citizen Caesar

Guess who's got two thumbs and doesn't have to babysit you lot anymore? That's right, this guy! From now on, if you got any questions or problems, I'd like to kindly point you to our true castle master.

As for me... I guess that officially makes me a guest here, too. Now, who wants to suggest what I can do with all my free time? I promise I'll pretend to listen!

Caesar, we all know what you're going to do; take a nap.

But if you're looking for something to do, you could help me buy practice weapons for the dojo. I set one on fire while sparring with Lorelai, and I melted a bucket.

Help you? Did you set your money on fire, too? Oh, Hugo... [ He starts searching his pockets for some spare potch. ]

No, I don't need money. Just the best place to get them. Preferably fire proof ones.

I guess I could ask around. [ It's not like he would know any better about weapons. ]

It won't be long until the others return... hopefully with good news. Has it been getting worse?

Yeah, a little bit. I went out to the fields yesterday for some hunting, but I, er, might have over done it.

Geez.. have you tried taking a nap instead of always overdoing things?

I keep having nightmares. I'm afraid I'll set something on fire in my sleep.

Don't be ridiculous, nobody can cast magic in their sleep. The nightmares do worry me, however...

They're weird ones too. I wake up in sweat and anxious and depressed all at once, and all I can recall is colors. I have them less if I wear myself out, so [Shrugs] I know it's not healthy, but... I can't think of any thing else, and I don't want to try sleep aids because I don't know how long it'll take Chris, Nash, and Lorelai to get back.

Do you think Zerase could do something about it in the meantime? I have no doubts that these nightmares are induced by your rune.

I don't doubt it either.

I'll look for her. She creeps me out.

And here I thought you were into the creepy type.

What? What gave you that idea?

I meant... mysterious!

And what gives you that idea?

I've seen the way you look at Jeane.

I uh.. umm...

They left you in charge?

I hope you say that because you're impressed, but something about your tone tells me otherwise.

You're just a child. [And a lazy one in Franz's opinion. A good startagist sure, but Franz can't picture Caesar running a castle.]

Yeah, well, this child outmaneuvered your forces at Chisha. [ Although he agrees that he's not cut out for Thomas' job. ]

[Franz grimaces, he doesn't like to be reminded]

Point. I take it Apple was the real force behind you then?

Sure.

What brings you here anyway? I thought you'd enjoy spending time in your village now that things have improved.

I've joined the HSFDF and was sent here to serve in the 14th.

You worked so hard for liberty just to be at Harmonia's beck and call again? Didn't see that one coming.

LeBugue is still part of Harmonia. With the mantor unit dissolved I felt... listless. The HSFDF felt like a good alternative. [There's more, but he hopes Caesar won't pry]
