". . .____?"

"Yea?"

"You are in charge of camping stories from now on"

"Huh—?"

Yet Chilchuck didn't elaborate, leaving you to ponder on his words. Sweatdropping you side–eyed him before turning your gaze back toward Marcille and Laios only to froze at the sight of their pathetic state. Both of them had ugly fat tears falling down their cheeks "That was a beautiful story" sniffed Marcille, dramatically wiping her tears away "Your relationship with him is so tragic, I feel like I just witnessed a soap opera"

At the dramatic display you almost forced to stop from rolling your eyes. "Come on, it's not as interesting as you are putting it. Maybe it's because things changed since a thousand years ago but at that time executions were normal" you waved her off, stealing another dryad and eating it. Marcille however ignored you, keeping rambling about your and Thistle's dynamic and how poetic your career as a knight was. Then she started comparing it to the story of a romantic novel and you stopped listening.

"I'm more surprised that ye were a criminal. If I give ye a look now I would have never thought ye would hurt a single fly" hummed Senshi, sliding you another dryad and you didn't complain, you love fruits. "It was probably every single teenager phase. . .what was called. . .?" Chilchuck closed his eyes, snapping his fingers as he tried to remember "Elmo. . .no. . .Emil. . .no–Ah! Emo phase!" He exclaimed nodding to himself.

He remembers those days like it was yesterday, after all he has three daughters. . .he already passed through that stage three times and all those three times were absolutely hell.

You groaned, covering your face with your hands. Argh! You were hoping to forget those days! They were definitely not your proudest!

"Oh! Oh! Can you tell us more!?"

"What are you? Kids?"

"Please!"

Seeing as the dinner will be longer then he expected Senshi turned around "I'll put on some tea, then. I remember there were some tea leaves in the provisions that we–" yet once the dwarf looked behind him the provisions he once left there were missing. Blinking confused he looked around, scratching the back of his head "The bag of provisions is gone. . ."

Standing up Laios leaned over the table "Are you sure you didn't remember wrong?" He asked to which the dwarf shook his head "No, I'm positive I left it here" Now that was pretty odd, a whole bag can't disappear on it's own. . .maybe it was an illusion? Looking around Chilchuck's eyes fell on a trail of rice grains, leading toward one of the prison cells. Narrowing his eyes the half-foot turned his head toward the rest of the party and held a finger to his lips. Signaling to keep quiet.
