"What exactly are you here, at the dojo, for?"

He smiles. "It's a bit of a long story." He sits on the bed. "Three years ago, I was exiled from my home, having been accused of a crime that I did not commit. While I held no grudge against the village, I knew I could never return, so I began something of a pilgramage. I journeyed across the world, honing my magical skills and meeting new people. Eventually I heard of this place and what it stands for. I had grown tired of travel and decided to come here. To give myself a bit of a challenge I decided to come through the mountains, though I clearly didn't pack enough heat runes."

"What town do you hail from, wizard?" Royal asked.
-
"Mount Haven. It is a small settlement in the far west."
-
"Mount Haven, ah yes! I remember now. I didn't realize people were actually living there, we had an expedition disappear on those islands many years ago..."
-
"I believe it was founded 20 or so years ago, I know nothing of your team."
-
"Huh. Weird. Maybe. I know there's several islands. But how is it? Living in the middle of the ocean and all?"
-
"Wet, I never did like the weather. It was also very humid. But it was my home."
-
"Until you came here, Mr. Locke."
-
"And I will ever owe you a debt of gratitude for your hospitality."
-
"Just make sure that no one comes back from your past to haunt you." Royal said this as a joke. But went on to mutter: "We have too many of those."
-
"No promises, there's this one guy I've been hunting for a while now..."
-
"Oh? Well if you need any help. This place Is great to pick up mercenaries."
-
"Well, I lost the trail in the mountains. So until I can find it, I won't need that much help. After that though I'd really appreciate it."
-
"Feel free to ask around once you... Find whatever you need. Until then, I'll leave you to your doings."
-
"I thank you once again." [spoiler]End?[/spoiler]
