(Yeah, that's fine.)

(Starts after: Kyoya Hiro: "We're just harmless travelers with a few questions, that's all." Kyoya said to him in response, sounding a bit more serious than earlier.)

The guy turned to Moon, more inclined to speak to her than Kyoya. “You two are new here, aren’t you?”

"Um, yeah we are. We're simply searching for something and thought you might be able to tell us something about it." Kyoya said, remaining in his serious tone.

Giving him a bewildered look for half a second, the Vioz turned back to the witch. “And what’s that?”

(What I say Moon wanted to know? ^^’ )

(I think it was something relating to her family or something like that?)

"Have you ever heard of something known as the Ruby of the Cosmos? We've pinpointed it to this island, but aren't totally sure." Kyoya said in response.

His posture stiffened slightly, but tried to pass it off with a friendly smile at Kyoya, and yet talked to Moon, “You’re drudge is very inquisitive.”

She shook her head. “Oh, no, sir. He isn’t a drudge.”

"I still have no idea what that means..." Kyoya said, tilting his head a bit, "I'm just a simple knight from Serentias, nothing more."

“A drudge is to a witch as a familiar is to a shade,” Drop explained to him. “The name depends on their master’s rank as either a witch or shade. They help with gathering ingredients for spells, elixirs, or potions, assist in certain celebrations, and basically follow a witch loyally.”

“He’s from Serentias?” the Vioz asked with half worry and half surprise.

"...I probably shouldn't have said that..." Kyoya said, backing away a bit, afraid of what's going to happen, shutting up before he says anything even stupider.

“Before things get out of hand,” the witch said as quickly as she could while stepping between Kyoya and the Shade, “let me explain.”

It took him a minute of debating, but he gave her a single nod for her to continue.

“Kyoya is collecting all of the gems that the shade centuries ago to forge peace between us and the humans. I’ve been traveling with him for almost a week now, and I can swear he won’t do anything to shades as a whole.”

Kyoya's breathing relaxed, "I've got the ring for proof if needed." He said as he held up his right hand, the ring had seven of the eight jewels, each shining their respective color. "I'm only here for the gem, nothing more, I'll leave once I've gotten it. We've been together for only a week, and the kid here has already stolen my heart, so..."

The last sentence caught the shade off guard, and made Drop smile shyly at the ground. “Please, sir,” she pleaded. “We’re almost there, and have come so far…”

Sighing, the guy addressed them both for the first time. “Very well. I’ll help.”

"Thank you...it means a lot to us." Kyoya said, smiling a bit, becoming a bit more relaxed as their conversation progressed.

He nodded once to show he understood their sentiment. “My name’s Blake.”

“I’m Moon Drop,” she replied with a polite smile, letting Kyoya to introduce himself if he wanted to.

"I'm Kyoya, it's an honor, sir." Kyoya said, trying to act a bit more formal, he extended his hand out to shake.

Blake accepted the outstretched hand, giving it a firm but friendly shake. “Likewise. How soon would you two be ready to go on a five-hour walk?”

"I've got plenty of energy to spare. I'm not so sure about Moon over here." Kyoya responded, giving a friendly, but determined smile back at him.

“Yeah, I’m ready,” she responded. “And I’m sure Seth is, too.” The teen patted the wolf’s head.

The shade’s gaze settled on the male sitting beside Drop, and they examined one another in silent scrutiny. After some time, Blake laughed at, seemingly, nothing.

"Well, he certainly seems lively...are all shades this lively?" Kyoya asked, quite intrigued the shades way of life.

She shrugged. “My mother was the only shade I’ve had contact with until today.”

“Peculiar,” he grinned cryptically. “He’s very special, indeed. I can’t guess how you managed to make him your companion.” Blake grew more down-to-business. “Let’s get going. It’s that way.” He pointed back toward the clearing full of flowers they’d passed not long ago.
