[Lust has her device propped up in front of her, so she can sit and rest her chin in her hands to record. Guttle is next to her, on his back, chewing on some sort of toy or treat. For a change, Lust's demeanor and tone are both contented ones.]

Traveling for leisure seems very commonplace in this world. I admit it's something I'm only now indulging in myself but...

I wondered if anyone had any stories they'd like to share. Pleasant stories, about their travels.

I think I'd like to hear some.

Care to share them? Or are you just going to tease?

I'm thinking, hang on. When you've been here as long as I have, you've got a lot of stories to tell.

Oh, I've got one--first, you know what jousting is?

The sport with lances, on horses?

[solas_ion]

That's it exactly. Good, I ain't gotta explain it.

I had this friend here, once, that was a knight like I am. And one day we were so sick of having nothing to do that we started planning out a sparring match. Except y'know, we didn't want any old fight. I have a pair of Rapidash, so I suggested something a little more interesting. The only problem was, this place gets so damn touchy about people having weapons. It's annoying, you know?

What ended up happening was we used the best substitute for lances we had--a pair of fishing rods. So here we are, a pair of perfectly dignified knights on flaming horses, trying to stab each other with goddamned fishing poles.

...Tell you the truth, I can't remember who won. I do know half of Johto got a kick outta watching it.

[THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED.]

Fishing rods?

[Lust is attempting not to laugh in an undignified manner. She's imagining the scene, though, as best she can, and she has to press her knuckles to her lips for a moment.]

Wait...you're an actual knight?

[video]

[solas_ion]

It was the closest thing we could think of.

[A shrug.]

Yeah, I definitely am--why?

[video]

[a_sin_for_him]

We don't have them in my world, that's all. Not outside of books and radio stories.

What's it like?

[video]

[solas_ion]

Huh...hard to say, really. I can't compare it to anything in this kinda modern place, you know? Even saying it was kind of like being in part of an army doesn't cover it entirely--even if that ain't really wrong.

No, I understand what you mean. You lack a basis of comparison for explanatory purposes.

Did you ever fight a dragon?

[That's something knights were always supposedly doing, in books.]
