The... one thousand years of experience?

[ She wonders if she forgot or added another zero in that. ]

[discomfort]

I am a lot older than most people here, yes.

[ he will not confirm how much older though. ]

Just think of it as... differences in species lifespans.

[applebough]

[ owner of the inn, what is your wisdom? ]

None of this must be surprising, then...

[ With how people act and so on. ]

[discomfort]

There's always room for surprises, I think. Even if society as a whole remains the same, even I cannot predict how an individual person may react to something. It's why interacting with others is also interesting.

[ sometimes it leads to surprise coworker on coworker murder reveals. ]

[applebough]

Do you prefer to be an observer?

[ Trying not to think about owner's strip check. ]

[discomfort]

I am not sure if it is really about preference... After a while, you sort of just become slated into that role.

[ it is difficult to get too involved with others when you are fundamentally different. ]

So being here has been interesting.

[applebough]

... Does that sort of mindset eventually feel lonely?

[discomfort]

[ well. since it is still emotion share during the time of this thread, yuri will get a sense of something similar to a kind of... dead feeling, at the question, for a moment. ]

Perhaps sometimes.

[applebough]

... I see.

[ Yuri feels that with the dead feeling, she crossed a line that she shouldn't have. ]

I'm sorry for asking.

[discomfort]

Don't worry, I don't mind that you asked. Asking questions is how people grow a little closer to one another, right? You won't learn anything without doing so.

[ he holds his arms over his chest, his expression thoughtful. ]

I admit that I am not one who normally talks about my own feelings on certain matters.

[applebough]

[ Well, if it's fine asking questions, Yuri has a lot more-- ]

Is that because you choose not to or... you don't have an opportunity to?

[discomfort]

Possibly the former. Revealing too much of yourself is similar to giving someone else power over you.

[ or, at least, it is where he's from. ]

[applebough]

... If "Owner" isn't your real name, I'm very surprised that not even Eudora got it--considering how invasive some of their profiles were.

[discomfort]

It would be more surprising if they did. Absolutely no one knows what that is.

[ not even i, the player, because it never got revealed in canon. ]

[applebough]

[ sometimes you just fly off the seat of your pants because canon refuses to reveal anything

Something about that statement intimidates her though. ]

I see... thank you, Owner, for answering my questions.

[ ... ]

... Could I ask of you to not fling your clothes off at a moment's notice if there is a chance next time?

[discomfort]

[ help.

okay, that does make him laugh. ]

Ah. I apologize, nudity means nothing to me. But I realize that's not the case for everyone...

[ he lowers his head in a bow. ]

I won't do it again.

[applebough]

... Thank you.

[ Her voice is small, but she's grateful that he easily agreed. ]

I'll be off then. Thank you for your time, Owner. Please get some good rest.

[ one day i'll have a real meaty thread with owner... ]
