Quaestor

Quaestor tromped over to his neighbour's shop, having notices a deplorable drop in the standards of shambles usually associated with the place. "Freyd, this place looks terrible. You need to get back on the road and leave Dingo to care for the place in your absence." A single eyebrow raised in response, as if addressing the ludicrousness of such a proposal. "I mean it! And here, I brought you a small sampling from the shop to bring with you. It common knowledge how much you stuff your gob before each and every one of these quests you go on. Now, store these away and get ou

"Alright, Maggie. I got your things. Let's hammer this out so that I can get back to Miri and my shop. Your kitchen is already driving me nuts." Slapping him with a wood spoon for his insolence, she walked him formally through the motions, taking each turn in step like she would with any novice. "This is embarrassing. I've been doing this for years. Now I have to start all over because of some computer glitch?" He got the spoon again for complaining and promptly pursed his lips to contain his griping. Before long, the most basic of basics had been achieved - a simple uncommon

"Here you go." Everything he needed had been stacked and loaded into a small basket, along with a few of yesterday's cookies for good measure. "It's been a pleasure meeting you, Quaestor, and I hope we'll see each other again soon." Her mood had definitely improved and whatever mood had been plaguing her beforehand had been broken by their clumsy and ridiculous exchange. "You too Akira," he offered, uncertain as to whether he should shake her hand or hug her or just walk away. She decided on the middle option before he could settle on one himself. A gaggle of giggling kids scat

"Oh. Uh. Nice catch! And... thanks?" Akira's face flushed vermillion given where his hand had managed to catch her. Quaestor was a little slower on the uptake, having just reacted without thinking. His eyes had been on hers as she spoke, but drifted downward with every widening realization at her words. "Oh. AH!" Any awkward motion or force might prove painful, leaving him with the solitary options of matching her shade of blush. "Just, don't move for a sec," her laughter broke the tension between them as she propped her arms against his and lifted herself back up to a balanc

Akira's silent hopes were dashed by his response, but she hid them well enough for him not to notice. Instead, she pasted a practiced smile on her face and wandered to search other nearby cabinets. Thankfully, it also enabled her to turn her face away. Her loneliness wasn't Quaestor fault or responsibility, but the sudden prospect of regular companionship had kindled something within that she'd not felt in ages. A sigh escaped her lips before she could prevent it. "Is everything alright?" He felt awkward just standing there, not being able to help in any way. "Oh, it's fine. I

"Are you truly on your own?" It seemed an unfair burden, and he felt selfish for not having known or offered to do more sooner. "Not truly or entirely. Many of the other players who found these children and brought them here continue to contribute in some way. Until they vanish, that is." Their eyes met, confirming that more than a few had met their own ends by whatever means. Quaestor's mustache quivered and sniffed. "You have my word that I will do whatever I can to help. I set up shop on Floor thirteen, but it's just a short crystal hop away from here. I could come visit an

"Yes, I think so," Akira replied, mouthing a 'thank you' in his direction before chasing both girls out of the kitchen. "How many are there," he asked, without thinking. "Eight. Too many for such a place as this, but parents will let their kids do anything these days, or are just too busy or tired to properly care." Regret was heavy in her voice. It had never dawned on Quaestor that families had been separated by Kayaba's trapped - not in this way, at least. He'd lost Miri early on, but that was different. They'd never had kids, and the Madrigal had become their family. Everyo

Two young girls suddenly came bursting into the kitchen, one cradling a small makeshift doll and desperately trying to keep it away from the other. Whirling round the corner, they could never hope to see Akira stooped behind the island and both tripped over her legs, eliciting a yelp of surprise and heavy thud. Acting swiftly, Quaestor managed to catch both girls before anything worse happened, but tears were fully flowing by the time Akira withdrew from her cupboard cave, rubbing the new goose egg on her forehead. "It's alright dear," Quaestor offered, his voice quiet and calm despite
