[oh, would you look at that. a memory starts playing.]
MEMORY: A PEACEFUL DAY
You wake up in your familiar, comfortable bed. The room is a simple one, with just a few simple items. A table and a chair. A desk, with a photograph of a smiling cat.
You step outside. It's a beautiful day.
You walk up to a tree, and you shake it. A branch falls out.
You shake a tree. A small bag of money falls out. You shake a tree. Nothing happens. You shake a tree. Nothing happens. You shake a tree. A branch falls out. You shake a tree. A small bag of money falls out. You shake a tree. Nothing happens. You shake a tree. Nothing happens. You shake a tree. A wasp nest falls out.
The wasps attack you!!! ... You're made of stone, so it's fine. You keep shaking trees.
Nothing. Nothing. Branch. Nothing. Branch. At last, another small bag of money falls out.
You walk to the store and buy a fishing rod. Then you find a nice spot along the river to fish.
You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in. You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in. You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in. You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in. You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in. You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in. You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in. You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in. You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in. You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in. You cast your line. You wait. A fish bites. You reel it in.

Seeing Rynlan, he glances over briefly, but says nothing.]

[he pauses, blinking, taking in the different outfit (but mostly the fact he's actually wearing something different.)]
Felt like a change?
no subject
Huh?
[He blinks a few times, as if there was something strange about that question.]
... Oh, well... My other clothes are getting washed.

Those do look nice, though.

[He looks unsure of how to take the compliment. After a pause, he settles on:] Thanks.

[he knows how he feels about that kind of thing himself, so. he doesn't suggest switching it up more often.]
Were you on your way somewhere?
no subject
Not exactly... Just looking around.
Do you know this area well?
