Rook
Rook
|
Such fine weather we have today. This is a wonderful morning to behold, don't you agree?
|
Rook jumps happily
|
Rook
Rook
|
Hehe, I'm delighted to know that you share my sentiment. Now then, after this we will...
|
Footsteps
|
Epel
Epel
|
Good morning... Ah! Rook, is that by any chance...
|
Rook
Rook
|
Good morning, Epel. Allow me to introduce it once more.
This is a new member of our dear abode of Pomefiore, Monsieur Tsum!
|
Epel
Epel
|
"Monsieur Tsum"... Why the literal name...?
But have you been alright? I also took care of my Tsum the last time and...
It'd roll in the bushes, had a bit of a temper even... It was quite the peculiar one, I guess?
|
Rook
Rook
|
Right. I heard that the species' ecology is shrouded in mystery.
Nonetheless, it is natural for creatures to bare their fangs or employ intimidation tactics.
The bond forged between partners who disagree or even oppose each other on occasion is yet another beautiful connection to behold.
Ohhh... Do you understand me, Monsieur Tsum!
|
Epel
Epel
|
I didn't get what any of that was supposed to mean at all though... As expected from something resembling Rook huh...
|
Rook
Rook
|
It is nothing complicated, really. I just meant to acquaint myself with the Tsum in a calm and collected manner.
Look, the Tsum is now out on the prowl. Let's observe it, shall we?
|
Rook bounces and moves around the Pomefiore throne
|
Epel
Epel
|
It's loitering around the chair that Vil usually sits on and observing it from all sorts of angles...?
Oh no, what should we do? Vil might get mad if the Tsum were to get up on that chair without permission...
|
Rook
Rook
|
No need to worry. Look, it has made its move.
|
Epel
Epel
|
This time it's staring at the chandelier... With all this, what could the Tsum be doing?
|
Rook
Rook
|
While we can only imagine what such behaviour could possibly entail since Monsieur Tsum doesn't speak....
I believe that it's showing an appreciation for the arts.
|
Epel
Epel
|
...Huh?
|
Rook
Rook
|
Doesn't its behaviour bring it to mind for you as well, Epel?
The way people have their eyes fixed on the paintings and sculptures they admire in an art museum, that is...
|
Epel
Epel
|
All I see is a Tsum that's restless and ogling at everything around it because of their novelty, though...
|
Rook
Rook
|
Is that so? I understand it, however. The sheer joy and emotion it experiences when it lays its eyes upon the beautiful, I mean.
Monsieur Tsum, are you perhaps indulging in the beauty of our Pomefiore?
|
Rook Tsum bounces very excited
|
Epel
Epel
|
L-Looks right, somehow...!!
|
Rook
Rook
|
Marvelous! Just as I'd thought, you and I appear to be of the same mind.
There are even more wonderful places to explore apart from the lounge here. Now, follow me. I will be your guide.
|
Rook and Tsum leave
|
Epel
Epel
|
And they're off... I wonder why Rook and his Tsum hit it off with each other so well.
It's behaving now, but... Ultimately, it's a Tsum of that Rook so...
|
|
Rook
Rook
|
I've managed to show practically all of the key points of interest in our dorm to you. ...To conclude, allow me to bring you to a special place I've saved for last.
|
Rook Tsum perks up
|
Rook
Rook
|
Hehe, I'm certain that you will be smitten.
As for why... Well, it's because this is a brand new calibre of beauty that you will be witnessing first hand with your very eyes.
|
|
Knocking
|
Rook
Rook
|
Excuse me.
|
Vil
Vil
|
Rook, is something the matter? Wait...
|
Rook Tsum sees Vil and quivers
Rook Tsum frolically bounces towards Vil
|
Vil
Vil
|
So you've brought the Tsum that appeared last night with you. It seems to be staring quite intently at my face, though...
|
Rook
Rook
|
Hehe, as expected. It's exactly as I thought.
|
Vil
Vil
|
"Expected"? What was?
