[SP-F9] Burn it down

[Alkor 0]

With Vulcan in sight, Alkor gave a sigh of relief. The journey had been long and the battle perhaps just as long in how it dragged on. He welcomed the sight of a place to hang his head, if only for a few hours. Now he had the funds for a house, and since he had established himself and conquered his weakness, he thought it was fitting that he go to purchase one. The recently cleared 24th floor was purportedly an aquatic one, so he decided that he would head there and inquired about property.

First, though, he reentered Vulcan and was greeted by a family NPC. The girl had watched him carefully while he slept and made sure that no one tampered with his body. She was chiefly the reason he was still alive, but also the reason no one had seen him for all the time he was out. Alkor bowed thankfully to her and they exchanged a few words. He told her his plan to migrate elsewhere, and she gave a smile like she was pleased for him.

NPCs seemed to have to concept of the various floors of Aincrad except in specific situations, and so, he didn't bother to describe the beauty of an Ocean she would never believe existed. Instead, he spoke of a faraway land that he came from and water that went on for as far as the eye could see. The girl seemed to enjoy that very much, and before they said their final goodbyes, she said she hoped one day he would be able to see that infinite ocean again.

"I hope so too," he said with a smile
