Definitely not! [ There's just the biggest frown on Laurent's face right now. ] We must put all out efforts into returning as quickly as possible - it is unwise to enter into another's fight without resolving our own. It is hardly a vacation.

[vapidfloozy]

Oh, sure, that's all true, but Laurent - [his voice gets hushed] - have you seen the girls here? Lovely lasses from all sorts of worlds! It's a buffet of beauty for the eyes! Even you should be able to take advantage of it and meet someone nice! Someone who likes glasses and overlarge vocabularies.

[lensglare]

[ Speaking of glasses - Laurent raises his hands to adjust them, pushing them back up on his face. ] I have no interest. Especially in a world where our stay will only be temporary. Why waste one's energy on such trivial manner? [ ... Yeah.

He pauses for a moment, before continuing on. ] Have you been informed of the god you were chosen by?

[vapidfloozy]

It's not trivial!

[He's shocked, Laurent, shocked, that you would say such a thing! Hitting on girls is vastly important!

But he shakes his head, gives Laurent a disapproving look, and moves on.]

Freya, it seems, but I haven't had a chance to learn much about the different gods yet.

[lensglare]

There are far more urgent items that demand our attention. [ Like, as he said a billion times, getting back home. How are they going to finish this war if half the population is stuck here?! Gods. ] With them in mind, it can most certainly be considered trivial.

Hm. [ A pause. ] It would be helpful to learn of the different gods. It seems as though those with similar characters have been placed in the same house.

[vapidfloozy]

Finding pretty girls is very important! How are we supposed to concentrate on other things if we haven't done that yet? And anyway, some of them might be able to help. [Or something.]

Yes... I did get that impression. So you must be in the bookworm house, then, right?

[lensglare]

Because those relationships will be temporary. Returning will be a permanent solution.

... I also do not recall success in... any of your attempts. [ ... Sorry Inigo. But Laurent's gotta say what he's gotta say, apparently. ] Though, if they are aware of how we are able to return to Ylisse, they could be of great assistance.

[ He clears his throat. ] My house, according to the strange maid, value knowledge over all others. And yours?

[vapidfloozy]

Just because something's temporary doesn't mean it's meaningless! [But ouch, Laurent, ouch. That's a low - albeit true - blow.] I'll find some ladies who can help us out, and I'll be successful! You'll see!

[He probably won't see.]

Freya's house values love, of course! The most important thing of all.

[lensglare]

Perhaps not, but would permanence not take precedence over temporary solutions? [ He'll humor Inigo though, because that was a low blow. ] I wish you all the best.

And Henry's house, Hel, values death. These gods seem to be rather... unorthodox.

[vapidfloozy]

It really depends on the situation, don't you think? Like, a quick fling with the girl of your dreams is bound to be better than marrying to a girl you don't like much!

[That's some good logic, there.]

Yeah... I guess they are. They've given us these strange powers, too. What did you get?

[lensglare]

However, marriage is a permanent fixture. In a long-term perspective, the fling would become nothing but a mere memory, while the marriage will be apart of one's lifestyle.

[ The question is: why are they talking about this in the first place? ]

Ah, fire control, though I have not had the opportunity to experiment as of yet. And you?

[vapidfloozy]

Ugh, yes! A miserable marriage with someone you don't like, and all you have to keep yourself going is the memory of that one perfect girl. How awful.

[Why are they talking about this?]

Fire control... haha, I never would have pegged you for hot stuff, Laurent! I've got some sort of energy transfer power.

[lensglare]

But that would constitute as being unfaithful to your spouse.

[ Laurent doesn't look amused. ] Unlike our... house, the powers seem to be assigned at random. [ Though, energy transfer... ] Oh? Are you aware of the mechanics of it, then?

[vapidfloozy]

Or unfaithful to the memory of your one true love! Ah, there's no way to win. That's why you've got to make sure to marry the right woman, Laurent. [Romantic advice from Inigo. Just what you needed, right?]

Oh, yes. I've been told it's done through a kiss. That suits me perfectly! I ought to be able to find all sorts of girls who need a little pick-me-up.

[lensglare]

I will make sure of that. [ Yup. Laurent's been waiting for this with baited breath since the moment they started this conversation. ]

A kiss? Fascinating. A simple transfer of energy through intimate physical contact... Is your power able to work in both directions, then? [ He could care less about the girls. Could you imagine the potential experiments? ] You must show me at once!

[vapidfloozy]

[...what?!] You might be hot stuff these days, Laurent, but that doesn't mean I'm going to kiss you!

[lensglare]

But there is no way of guaranteeing accurate results unless I am partaking in the study!

It is for a completely scientific hypothesis. I assure you, it will have no effect on your... reputation. [ That's what you think. ]

[vapidfloozy]

These lips aren't meant to touch the rough lips of another man, they're a treasure meant only for the luckiest of ladies! You'll have to indulge your youthful experimentation elsewhere, Laurent!

Although I can't blame you. I am very dashing.

[lensglare]

Er... [ Laurent fixes his glasses. ] If that is the case, then there is no need to force an unwilling participant.

[ Everything else gets ignored. Especially that dashing comment. ]

Ah. Have you found your lodging as of yet?

[vapidfloozy]

Maybe if you had a cute sister.

[That would be much better!]

I'm staying in Freya's Welcome Hall, but I haven't gone looking for it yet. There's so much to see.
