" i understand fully...and i too am a hero of sorts"
"I do greatly appreciate your offer to help, I really do, but having a kind, sweet, lady like yourself helping me with something like this shows very poor manners. My caretaker strictly teached me many times that a hard-working, honorable, gentleman, like myself, should only serve people, and only solve my own problems by myself, especially if a lady is offering the assistance. There are some exceptions to the rule, such as driving out monsters, and helping to maintain peaceful and public order, but otherwise I have to do this myself. Please understand, madam...I know my selfishness is getting in the way here, and I'll understand if you hate me for turning down your very generous offer, but that's how I was raised back in Alexcia." said Vermillion, acting somewhat sad to reject Shadow's offer of help

"I understand." She said. She really did understand.
"...Great... Despite that, I still feel very bad, but like I said before that was how I was created and raised, and I can't disobey my creator's laws and teachings." Vermillion said deep in thought

"Well in any case, let's head outside. You two should really see what I got on my wagon." said Vermillion with a smile

Vermillion then puts his Durandal away behind his back as he then heads on over to the door to open it, and heads outside.

Shadow gets into her Neko form and follows him.
Ion (played by Ion_shock)

ion stands and follows shadow outside
Vermillion heads out a little ways southeast, behind Ion's home. It only took a minute to find Vermillion's wagon out on a road, looking clean and untouched all of this time. Vermillion's wagon is rather long and large with couple of things sticking out such as tools and weapons. There's also a pair of stationary lanterns on the front of the wagon, and portable ones in the back hanging at the top. The one thing that Shadow and Ion would notice is that there are no horses anywhere nearby the wagon.

"Here it is, my wagon of goods from Alexcia. I only got a few tools and weapons out on display outside the wagon, the rest of the stuff: medicine of various kinds; food, both cold perishables such as meat, fish, certain vegetables, and jar goods; and clothes are inside." said Vermillion, acting a bit proudly at his wagon

Vermillion then moves to the back of the wagon as he then places his right hand on the wagon's backdoor to make 3 circle layers of magic glyphs of letter symbols appear. Vermillion then shifts the circle glyphs around to make them stop at certain points with the similar symbols looking like V, P, and R shown at the top. The glyphs shined brightly for a bit before fading away as then a click sound was heard inside the wagon, signaling Vermillion that it's now unlock as he soons opens it up. Inside the wagon is actually very nicely organized and neatly cleaned with rows of compartments and shelves lined up on the diagonal sides of the wagon. If Shadow and Ion looks inside, there's two long leather bags on the right side of the wagon; a large white box located at the front of the wagon; and two large size brown wooden boxes located at the left side of the wagon.

"I always keep my wagon nice, orderly, and clean as this is not only a wagon that can turn into a merchant's stall, but it's also my home as I push it around with me everywhere I go." said Vermillion

Vermillion then places his right hand slightly inside the wagon to make another set of glyphs to appear, this time there's 5 circle layers of letter runes instead of 3 from earlier. Vermillion rearranges the rune letters until they show similar letters of C, A, O, L, E facing towards Vermillion as the glyph shines again before fading away and another click sound was heard inside. Soon the central board inside the wagon floats on up to reveal a hidden compartment, just big and long enough to place his Durandal in which he does soon afterwards.

"My Durandal is my greatest gift and treasure, as such I took many precautions to make sure that it's stored in a safe place." said Vermillion

"This is amazing." Shadow says as she looks about the wagon in awe of all the items that are seen inside.
Ion (played by Ion_shock)

"i've seen a lot of things....but this is amazing!"

Shadow looks about the wagon...she cannot believe that there are so many items.
"Glad you like it. It's very nice and sturdy strong enough to withstand a good amount of spells and weapons...well unless if you use a battering ram to topple it over, then it'll be less useful as cover..." said Vermillion

Vermillion then closes the central housing of the Durandal as it seals itself up automatically.

"Well in any case, I'm going out to a nearby forest back there to get some logs, so I can cut them into wheels to replace the back left wheel and my front right wheel of the wagon. Normally, before I came here, it was actually both wheels of the left side that were broken, so to keep it balanced, I took the front right wheel and placed it in the front left side to keep it balanced. I would've normally finished a long time ago, and continue on my merry way, but since I did notice your house, sir, I had to warn you that I was in the area in case if you did find me as an intruder within your home's fields. I know it was sort of unnecessary to do, but it's just common courtesy to warn and introduce yourself when in distress nearby a person's home." said Vermillion

Vermillion then steps out to the southeast away from the two a bit before turning around to see them one more time before heading off.

"You're more than welcome to continue looking around inside my wagon. Just be careful of the large white box inside of it as it's an ice box stored with ice and cold perishables. Just don't go digging down in the bottom because there's a plate of special magical ice to not only keeps the food cold, but also keeps the ice from melting, thus it's very cold to touch, and I don't want you two to get frostbite." said Vermillion

Vermillion then makes his way to a nearby forest not long from here to search for downed logs he can use to cut into wheels to replace the ones that broke. What Vermillion didn't know is that during the crash, he dropped something shiny close by in the tall grass next to the wagon, and ended up not seeing it.

Shadow looked around the wagon...she looked up and down and in every corner...
Ion (played by Ion_shock)

"whatcha lookin for shadow?"
Shadow (played by Shadow13) Topic Starter

"I'm just looking." Shadow responded.
Vermillion ventured inside the forest as he searches for some downed logs to use to make wooden wheels for his wagon. It only took him about 3 minutes to find a suitable and tough downed log for him to make wooden wheels out of them.

"This is perfect. And now to slice a section out to make the two wooden wheels that I need...with some special alchemic techniques to make them perfect as there's no lumber mill nearby to chop and finish them..." said Vermillion

Vermillion uses his earth powers to slice a section of the wood into two very fined pieces with very sharp stones thanks to a bit of alchemy to make them sharp enough. He then takes out a small vial of brown-golden liquid and pours it on both of hands. What this does is that it enhanced his hands, making them into very gritty, but fine, sandpaper which he then merrily finishes the two wooden wheels by rubbing his hands on the edges on them to make them smooth. While he continues to finish up the wooden wheels, Vermillion enjoys himself by looking around the forest.

Shadow continues to look about the wagon...
Vermillion continues to fining the wooden wheels. 10 minutes has passed by as he continues.

Shadow looked to Ion...
Ion (played by Ion_shock)

"yes, shadow?"

"What's interesting you?" She asks him.
