[He can't help but beam - he used his title! Without a trace of sarcasm or mockery! Oh, how annoyingly rare that is around here!]

Yes, it has been a while, hasn't it? You can't deny they don't keep us busy around here. Even if some of the work is tedious.

[Not that he wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty back home - tending to a garden for herbs, climbing treacherous mountains for rare ingredients...]

But this should be substantially interesting. I've never gotten a close look at star pieces before.

[0dchess]

Me either! [Of course, Kinger has been less interested in looking for shiny rocks in general, but he has been in the caves of Heavy Downmoor recently.]

Let's see if we can catch a glint of anything if I do this... [There is a sound like Kinger taking a deep breath, and his mushrooms glow brightly.]

[cedricthegreat]

[His eyes widen at the Morelull's sudden iridescence.] Well, doesn't that shed some light on the subject?

[He follows the glints created by the light and starts hopping over to investigate. Sure, the moist grass makes this a little more difficult than it should be, but he already finds a solid piece upon close inspection and picks it up in his beak. The object is dropped next to Kinger.]

This may be one?

[It is not - it's just a gleaming wet rock.]

[0dchess]

Well, it is a nice rock, but I think this might just be one for your collection.

[Kinger looks around. There are two places in Heavy Downmoor where weird things tend to happen, and both of them are interiors. Years of going on carefully crafted adventures tells him there's a good chance that the star pieces are going to be close to there, even if this is not a prewritten story.]

We can make our way out of the rain if we head towards either the caves or that copy of the Archives. The caves are somehow the more creepy ones, though.

[cedricthegreat]

Oh. [Of course, he doesn't realise Kinger's right until this very moment.] I knew that.

[He swiftly picks the rock back up... but does store it in his satchel. It is rather pretty.]

Let's go to the Archives first. Less creepy, as you say, and I'm curious to check them out again anyway.

sorry for the delay, though i know you've been Going Through It anyway 😬

[0dchess]

[The walk to the Archives is relatively uneventful, meaning that most of it is taken up by small talk.]

You've been to the other Archives before too?

As proven by my month-later reply sob

[cedricthegreat]

[Considering the quests he's been having lately, it's nice for a trip to be simply uneventful.

His eyes shift at the question.] Well, n-not exactly. Only passing by, really, never got a proper look. Just Akechi and

[Flowey, he thinks, but he doesn't want to mention the annoying Sunkern right now.]

...I mostly heard rumours about them.
