"...Spiky?" Andy blinked, running a hand through his hair. Is my hair really that spiky...?
He frowned at his hair and shook his head, deciding to focus on the subject of the weapon. "Well, looks like you got a weapon that can deal impressive power attacks."

Milicia stepped towards the young stranger. She was astounded by his skill with a blade, as well as his bravery facing the same hideous beast that had made her guards quake with fear.
"Excellent work Musashi. You have my thanks, as do you brave warrior. With your aid we made quick work of that creature with only... minimum damage." Her face souring briefly as she looked at her garden. Most of the plants had been damaged badly, and her favorite arch now laid on the ground in pieces. "But where are my manners? I am Milicia, Queen of Crepusculum. What is your name young one?"

It's not that spikey! It's just...wild! I have perfectly natural wild hair, and people who complain are just jea- wait are they talking to me? Andy looked back and forth between the two, they seemed to be expecting some answer so he cleared his throat and acted as if nothing happened. "S-sorry, I'm Andy. I'm one of the warriors chosen by Yeligar Maelstrom and...someone else."
He decided to keep the information about Profeta his secret...for now anyway.

Milicia smiled at the boy who seemed more lost in his own thoughts, yet her eyes lit up when he mentioned Yeligar. "Then this was much more than a mere conicidence Andy. Yeligar had promised me some time ago I would meet those chosen to help save our world. It is a pleasure to meet one of you at last. We have much to talk about. Not here though, let us retire to somewhere more comfortable. Tell me Andy, are you hungry?" Without waiting for an answer she was already guiding him along with her. She moved swiftly up the small staircase leading into the castle, though her movements remained graceful and poised.
It seems that fortune may have smiled on me at last. First Musashi, now Andy. I only hope that someone this young can help fight off foes as powerful as Trucido.

"H-hungry? I-wait!" before he knew it he was being dragged into the castle, still trying to process what she said to him.
"You know Yeligar?" he asked as he was being dragged through the castle to wherever the queen was leading him.

Walking along side Andy and Milicia, Musashi puts his arm around Andy's shoulders and pulls him close.
"Don't worry, bro, even if you aren't hungry now, once you see the spread they lay out here, you won't be able to help yourself."
Thought he wouldn't admit it, Musashi had grow to like the luxury that befriending a royal family brought. Though he tried to avoid the lure of avarice and relaxation, Musashi couldn't help but enjoy some of the vast pleasures that were offered to him, the meals being on the top of the list.
Having had spent a good deal of time in the castle, it was nice to have someone like Andy in his midst, or more appropriately, someone close to his age who wasn't so extravagant in his appearance, or his mannerisms. And on top of that, it appeared that Andy was a rather capable fighter, in fact, someone who Musashi wouldn't mind sparring against, after all, it had been sometime since he'd had a chance to covet some new moves.
"So, Andy, right? After chow, what'dya say to little mano a mano action?"

"A...battle?" Andy repeated, as if the word was foreign to him... for the moment. Then he burst into a wide grin, an eager grin. "Man you just said the magic words, fine, after some food you and I have a little battle. I didn't get to see you do much so I can only hope you don't go easy on me."
This guy...Musashi. He seemed...off. He didn't seem like he was a Crepusculum native, he could be from another country.
Or maybe he's off world, like you?
What was he thinking? He didn't have any clues or evidence, it was just... this feeling he got from the guy. He struck Andy as someone that was not around here.
Or maybe you're trying to deny the fact that you seem to belong here.
At some point when this day was done, Andy would have to punish his inner voice.

Milicia finished guiding the Andy to the dining hall, where a incredible spread of food was laid before the three of them. Throughout the meal she asked whatever came to her mind about Andy. His time on Crepusculum, his encounters with the Sumata, and anything else she couldn't help be curious about.
"So Andy, do you have someone special waiting for you back home at all? Anyone you're romantically involved with, if you don't mind my asking." The sheer age gap between the two couldn't help but make Milicia feel like a mother pestering an estranged son. The feeling hung with her, and it brought a smile to her face that she couldn't get rid of.

Andy was glad he wasn't drinking anything, cause if he was he'd be spitting it by now. He looked at the queen and stammered a bit. "M-Me? I don't...well, there's Kara and Jas but...well. And Jasmine is...well...n-no I don't have anyone."

Watching Andy stumble over his words was kinda fun, not in a mean spirited way, but rather in the sense his denial was as transparent as air itself. A coy smile crawled across Musashi's face as he watched Andy mumble and stutter his way through his sentences.
"Come on, man, if your crushing on someone, you can't go around denying it. What'dya think they'd say if they thought you didn't like 'em? I'll tell ya, that's a good way to kill your chances and bury 'em six feet under, ya dig? So come on, who're ya sweet on?"
Musashi hoped his comments didn't come across as rude, but sometime his forthrightness was not well interpreted by other. All he wanted to do was make sure Andy didn't chicken out, something you wouldn't guess possible of a guy who just aided in the destruction of colossal skeletal monstrosity.

"..." At the word 'bury' Andy stopped still, he had come from burying someone like a mother and now he couldn't help but wonder...was it his fault? Jasmine said she wanted to talk to her father later so she could tell him... but could he face him?
He then realized people were waiting on an answer from him, "Um... there's this sage...named Jasmine. A friend I've been travelling with since I....started travelling."
He decided to leave out the bit of Earth, after all he just met these two...

Milicia couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the boy's reaction, and it didn't help that Musashi was being as blunt as the paddle he lugged around with him. She was tempted to pick on him a bit more, trying to get a rise out of him, but something in Andy's eyes stopped her. A look of longing or sorrow, or something else but whatever was said had made him uncomfortable. She thought it best to change the subject.
"Come now Musashi, young love is best bloomed at it's own pace. Forgive me for changing the subject Andy, but I had hoped you could fill me in on the battle of the Heroes versus the Sumata. I had heard there was much commotion outside the ball after hours, yet some... important business kept me from attending to see what had happened. Perhaps you could fill me in on how we're doing?"

Andy paused, the ball...? It felt so long ago, hard to believe it was only... actually he couldn't even remember so he stuck with 'a long time ago'. "Um... well let's see, after I left the ballroom I was heading home when I was ambushed by the entire Sumata group and had to battle Trucido and Lilith..."
As he was talking he nearly knocked his glass over. He managed to stop it and only a small amount of liquid spilled, damn him he was not good at making first impressions at manners.

Milicia sat up from her chair is suprise, though not from Andy's clumsy maneuver. "Andy, do you mean to tell me you went against two of them, one being Trucido himself? To anyone who did such a thing I would dare call them either very brave or stupid. Yet not you, he who has done such and sits here today in my castle can only be the former. Andy you have much to tell me of what happened that night."
As she spoke in such an outburst the servants were quick to clean the mess before it could be anything but a memory to Milicia and her guests. Realizing her behaviour only after, her faced blushed somewhat and she sat down slowly and gracefully, eager to hear Andy's story.

Andy blinked at the Queen's yell -and did not want to admit that he probably would do the same- and decided to recap the fight as best as he could.
"Let's see... when the Sumata attacked me I fought Lilith for awhile. I was going to defeat her until Trucido stepped in and fought me instead, that fight was... hard. Then during the fight I land a good hit on him and I rush to finish him off..." he paused to emphasize his next sentence. "And it didn't end very well... for me anyway."
