Rook  |
Though I understand it's for class, just running is exceedingly dull.
Ah, I've got it! You there from D class. Seeing how seldom our classes are combined, how about we play a game of chat perché? | |
| Heartslabyul Student | Chat perché...? | |
Rook |
A so-called game of tag. Where the cat chases and captures the mouse, you see.
I'll be the cat, of course. What do you say? | |
| Heartslabyul Student | Uh, I think I'm good... | |
Rook |
Hmm. Well then, how about you? | |
| Octavinelle Student | I don't think I'm too interested either... (Nervous laughter) Haha. | |
Rook |
What a shame. I think you'd enjoy it if you'd give it a try.
Not only does it work your body, but you come to know your prey and there are times you're able to hunt them down so they fall right into your trap.... The thrill of bringing down a beautiful yet strong specimen of prey is indescribable. | |
| Students | *Murmuring* | |
Rook |
Oh? What's the matter everyone?
I see, it must be because he's running. It'll only take him a moment to complete his quota before he goes to sit under the shade and relax as usual... Hmm. How truly... fascinating indeed. | |
| Heartslabyul Student | H-Hey, Rook! Where are you going? Don't you know it's dangerous to get too close to Malleus?! | |
Rook |
Bonjour, Roi du Dragon. | |
Malleus  |
You must be Pomefiore's... Do you have some kind of business with me? | |
Rook |
No. I was just somewhat interested in you is all.
Or rather your habits, I suppose. Would you allow me to ask you a few questions? | |
Malleus |
...I'm not promising you any answers. | |
Rook |
What kind of animal would you say a dragon fae is closest to? | |
Malleus |
...What? | |
Rook |
Just going by your horns, I'd say a herbivore like an impala or an antelope, but that wouldn't be right.
Or what about being closely related to the lizard or alligator... though that doesn't seem very fitting either. | |
Malleus |
Comparing a dragon to a lizard... Did you come all the way over here just to get struck down by lightning? | |
Rook |
Oya, did I upset you? I was only naming some examples of things familiar to me and didn't mean anything by it.
The land where I was born is a savanna where the sunset is very beautiful. Rich in nature, the animals would roam everywhere enjoying their lives to the fullest. Before I came to Night Raven College, I often played with these dear animal friends, you see. That is to say, we'd amuse ourselves in a game of chase from sunup to sundown. Well, it would always end with me catching my prey. | |
Malleus |
I see you're the type of man that keeps talking even when the other person isn't listening. It looks as if you just want to boast about how good you are at hunting. | |
Rook |
Indeed, hunting is my strong suit. But since coming to this school I've realized I still have much to learn.
In any case, I've never hunted a dragon. | |
Malleus |
And yet I get the impression you're trying to mock me? ...Better watch your mouth, human. | |
Rook |
Hehe. It seems even Roi du Dragon has an angry side.
You look like you could breathe fire any moment now. | |
Malleus |
If I did, you'd vanish in one breath. | |
Rook |
Marvelous! So dragons really can breathe fire?!
It seems fae are closer to magical creatures than they are animals after all. | |
Malleus |
...... | |
Rook |
Roi du Dragon? | |
Malleus |
You were trying to anger me from the beginning, weren't you.
And here I thought you were just some crude fool... I couldn't figure out why Schoenheit of all people would employ someone like that as his assistant. Just what are you after? | |
Rook |
As expected of Diasomnia's leader. You saw right through my pretense.
As for what, I only wanted to play a real game of chase with you. Catching your opponent off guard, throwing off their pace, and luring the prey into your field is one of the basics of hunting. | |
Malleus |
I don't have time to take on those who blatantly provoke me.
On the contrary, a huntsman who chases prey regardless of their skill level ends up being the one hunted. If you want to stay alive, better not to jump straight into the fire. | |
Rook |
Ah, just one more question... He's already gone now.
Roi du Dragon, whose fierceness lies hidden underneath a layer of mystery... How very très bien indeed! But... if I pursue it any further it'll likely upset my own dorm leader as well. I'll have to leave things here for now. | |
