[PP-F2] Socializing at its finest (Kohaku)

[Tristan Delaney 0]

Tristan yawned, looking out at the fields rolling across, the view of the mountains in the distance. The memory of <Breaking the Unbreakable> came to mind, when he scaled the highest mountain to destroy a rock.

Tristan stroked his reasonably shaven chin in aimless thought, his mature face gleaning against the sun and long flowing red hair billowing in the wind. You'd think it was player customised, were it not for the fact SAO used your real appearance.

Today he decided to meet the new girl who wanted to apply to the guild. Lessa would take her on a recruitment quest, but this was not that. This was simply a rendevous to socialise with them, something he has wanted to do for a while.

Tristan relaxed into the warm air surrounding him, sitting on the grass in a half-lotus position. He heard the footsteps crunching against the grass.

"Tristan?" I walked up to the player I was supposed to meet up with for Guild socialization.  I smiled and held out a hand. "What's up?" Sitting down on the grass,I hummed lightly and observed the player before me. He looked elegant and tough. Oddly enough, the pair worked great together on him.

Tristan smiled and took the hand. He gave it a firm but gentle grasp, then let go.

"Nothing much. Just staring out to the view, finding inspiration for songs to play."

The girl was considerably younger than him, but still had a reasonably mature outlook.

"What about you? How's life faring for you?"

"Oh, fine. Nothing very exciting." I opened up my Inventory and equipped my Beginner's Long Knife. "So, you're a Bard?" I stood up and swung my weapon a few times.  "How do you kill things? By what, singing them a lullaby of death or something?" I teased. I examined my weapon's stats and then placed it back into my Inventory.

Tristan chuckled, not sure if they had quite an ego, or simply naive. For the sake of the conversation, he equipped his Dragon spear and span it around, then stuck the base of the spear into the ground.

"The peforming gives me acrobatics, this is my weapon. I've learnt to fight with spears in real life, so this is what I use. Though I'm planning for Lessa to forge me a better weapon."

Tristan unequipped his spear.

"However you're not wholly wrong. I have these Monster Grenades with a recording inside, which will distract monsters. Really useful stuff, I tell you. If you ever want free hits, these will get you them."

 

Tristan waved that stuff aside though "that kind of thing is for the battlefield though. Right now, I'm not interested in fighting, been too much of it recently. Right now, I'd rather just be with someone." Tristan didn't notice the more suggestive meaning behind that, as per usual with that kind of thing.

"Whaa!?" I stepped back and nearly tumbled to the ground. Then, seeing the naive and oblivious face of Tristan's, I threw back my head and laughed. Doing a fancy little spin, I leaped beside him, and pushed him down to the ground with me.

"Is that right? Well then, play me a song!" I chuckled and gazed at him, my eyes twinkling. "And just so you know," I added, "I could whoop you if you try to put a Spell on me!"

Tristan laughed, going with her jest and not resisting being pushed down. It was rather amusing to watch and would make sense, attributed to their age.

"I will once you give me freedom for my limbs, since I can't play instruments with my toes. If you don't I may just have to hex you~"

Tristan sat up and brushed himself down a bit. He wondered what to play, then got out his guitar. His fingers began strumming and he sang.
