"…I have a name tag?”

Hei asked with a wide-eyed and confused expression blinking a few times after wards before he gave a cheery smile towards the blonde Hyur.

“Oh really now? You’re me. Prove it then! Prove that you are indeed Hei Lowell!”

The Hingan Hyur exclaimed in a rather dramatic and theatrical fashion, laughing loudly afterwards.

“If you’re really me then surely you’d be able good laugh. So laugh! As loud as you can! Like you rule the world!”

“You can certainly smile, but there’s something heavy and sad in your eyes…You’re running away from something, aren’t you?”

“Hmmmm…What would your ‘spirit’ animal be? Or if you could choose one animal to be, what would you choose?”

“Oh? Am I?”

Hei asked with a quirk of his brow a rather amused and mischievious smile on his face.

“And now what would convince someone that I’m oh so nefariously up to something…Nefarious?”

He said in an intentionally dramatic tone, waving his arms and exaggerating his movements and the like before he laughed out loud and wagged a finger towards the Viera.

“Are you sure -you’re- not up to no good? After all…Takes a troublemaker to know a troublemaker, wouldn’t you agree?”

The Hyur said with the cheeky grin on his face widening.

“Is that so? I know not of what I owe but if it’s money or something material, I’ll gladly give whatever it wants. If it’s my soul..Heh..Then the sea had better be prepared for a fight!”

((Shial))

“Oh wow, I think that’s the reddest person I’ve ever seen! Hmm..Definitely wouldn’t want to mess with her…She looks like she’d punt me to the moon if I mess up! Heh maybe she’s one of those rough but kind types? Hopefully?”

((Ashtaran))

“Oh hey! A classy looking guy! Looks like a mage or something. Seems like the type of guy you see at theaters! He looks fun to talk to!”

((Seiron))

“With that white hair, I almost thought there were an old man at first, but boy was I wrong! The guy certainly seems to smile easily enough..Though hmm…I do feel like they’re something about them that seems a teensy bit off…”

“And that’s why -”

Hei had a cocky and teasing smile on his face that was quickly replaced with an expression of utter horror as the red haired Raen seemed none too amused by the Hyur’s antics, her knee pushing upwards and then…

“AAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Hei let out a high pitched scream as he felt the righteous knee impact something that no man would ever wish violence upon. His face went pale and cold as he then abruptly fell to the side, his hands covering his groin as his eyes seemed to spin from no doubt the pain that was coursing through his body..His very soul.

“W-Whhhhhy?!”

Hei whined, his voice still completely high pitched, perhaps from the shock as he a completely agonized expression upon his face, tears comically flowing from his eyes.

“You know! I still..Ah..SHIT!”

He swore a few more times, his voice still sounding squeaky as he squirmed on the ground, feeling as though his precious family jewels were shattered from the attack.

“C-call a healer…Conjurer! Whatever! I need..Saving!”

“S-Saerumi?”

Hei stammered a little before he furrowed his brows, blinking a few times before coughing.

“Well..To start…She’s the uncouth, ridiculous, and stupidest person I know! And she irritates me to no end sometimes! Did I mention she almost damn near killed me one time too?!”

Hei said with a huff, crossing his arms as he gave an almost childish pout. He then furrowed his brows for a moment before he let out a sigh and then nodded.

“But…Despite that…She’s someone I want to help and understand. She might act completely ridiculous and stupidly reckless sometimes..But I know there’s a reason for it and it makes me want to understand her all the more.”
