・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

The concept of filler/buffer words is used lightly. They're onomatopoeia, words, start/ending of sentences, etc.. Stuff they often use in their dialogues.

── Balor ──

❝ Eh? ❞

❝ Ah ❞

❝ Isn't it? ❞ & ❝ Don't you think? ❞

❝ Well ❞

His lack of much filler words makes sense. He knows how to talk and socialize well. His dialogues come off polished. For the most part, it's an exclamation at the start of his sentence. Otherwise, it's a way to ask for other's opinions... which just shows how he's a good communicator in practice. He helps others bounce off his statements to not kill the conversation.

── March ──

❝ I- ❞

❝ If you want ❞ & ❝ If you need ❞

❝ I mean ❞ & ❝ I guess ❞

❝ I thought ❞ & ❝ Never thought ❞

❝ Okay? ❞

❝ Huh ❞ & ❝ Hm ❞

❝ Well ❞

And they can mix up, especially ''I mean, if you want.. I guess''. He's usually trying to clarify his point of view. Either that, or he's trying to soften and undermine what he said. A lot of reluctance and hesitation to open up. This even goes for the ''Okay?'' at the end of sentences when he asks something from the farmer. He gives others space with his words. If anything sounds commending, he'll try to remove the pressure and the force in his words. Almost as if he could be sure of himself.. if you agree. Then he backtracks to give space. He can take the lead but won't impose himself.

── Hayden ──

❝ GYA HA HA! ❞

❝ Oho ❞

❝ Of course ❞

❝ Whew ❞

❝ You know ❞

❝ Between you and me ❞

❝ Now let's see ❞ & ❝Let's see now ❞

Hayden comes off as trying to relate to the other person he's talking to. Confirming he understands, how this conversation is personal between them or how it makes sense without question. It also sounds friendly and joyous. There's a few laughs as well as fun sounds when he's exhausted. And if he doesn't quite get how things are, he'll try and understand. Observe and take his time doing so. A little sweet padding in a way?

── Ryis ──

❝ Right? ❞

❝ Huh ❞

❝ y’know ❞

❝ Yeah ❞

❝ Cool ❞, ❝ Real cool ❞ & ❝ Pretty cool ❞

❝ Too ❞

❝ I guess ❞

And they can sometimes mix up. Especially ''That's cool too, I guess''. Yeah.. Ryis is very casual in his dialogues, huh? He might be thinking, deciding what to say next or dragging out the sentence. He emphasizes his ideas, shares his opinion and asks for the one of the person he's talking to. But he doesn't sound hesitant. Simply relaxed, chill, not worried. Sometimes it's to show he doesn't have much of an opinion.

── Eiland ──

❝ You know ❞

❝ Of course ❞

❝ Truly ❞

❝ It's just ❞

❝ Hm ❞ & ❝ Oh ❞

❝ Isn't it? ❞

❝ Here ❞ & ❝ There ❞

His fillers are a little more varied. Some feel like shyness or hesitation at times, others feel like a way to include the other person, you know? Isn't it? But for the most part, they mark a boundary in discourse. It's like an organization of his thoughts. A way to clarify that he's stating facts. He's making sure the other person understands what his point is, like a direction to guide the conversation. These often happen when you talk about archeology.

── Caldarus ──

❝ Ah ❞

❝ Hmm ❞

❝ I am sure ❞

❝ How interesting ❞ & ❝ How (other adjective) ❞

❝ However ❞

❝ Perhaps ❞

❝ though ❞

Caldarus has mostly adverb filler words. Although adverbs are usually used to provide additional information, it doesn't do much in those cases. It might accentuate if he's questioning himself or if he's sure of his statement. Sometimes, it's his own thoughts on the statements he makes. They sound quite fancy, though!
