"Yes, this situation is very unusal, Tiz, but nevertheless I am confident you will manage to get through it!" assured Ringabel patting the Country Boy on the back as they sat outside some cafe in Florem.
"I don't know, I'm not sure I'm ready for this," sighed Tiz looking at his coffee as if it did something wrong." I mean all this seems rushed, and what happens if I'm rejected?"
"Tiz, a man has to get used to being rejected by the ladies, otherwise we aren't men now are we?" countered Ringabel quickly sneaking a quick glance at a passing lady." I have been through many rejections, and look where I am now!"
Tiz looked at Ringabel as if he had lost his mind, and sensing that he said something wrong, Ringabel clears his throat shuffling akwardly in his seat.
"The point I am trying to make is sure you may get rejected, your feelings hurt, she could very well laugh in your face leaving you a hollow shell of your former self, but in the end there are plenty more fish in the market slowly becoming rotten because they were left out in the sun too long," translated Ringabel watching a lady with a nice rump walk past them.
"But I don't think there will be another fish like this one," countered Tiz slowly becoming consumed in his own grief, and low self esteem.
"That is why you seize that fish before some dirty ruffian puts their dirty mits on it!"
Ringabel quickly got up, and ran after a slender woman with a firm bosom, and a big rump leaving Tiz to sigh in his own defeat. He looked up at the clear blue sky, letting the cool Florem breeze rip through his person and settle itself into his spirt. As he was busy admiring the secreny, someone tapped him lightly on his shoulder, causing him to nearly fall out of his seat. It was Ringabel and it appeared he had frosting, or some wet dark mud on his face.
"What the hell Ringabel!?" shouted Tiz angery at his friend." Didn't anyone teach you not to sneak up on people like that!?"
"Yes, numerous times by numerous ladies I had pursued due to their beauty," replied Ringabel sitting in his spot." Of course, I would do the same thing anyway."
"What happened to you?" asked Tiz raising an eyebrow.
"Well, that woman I chased after was no doubt a beauty in herself, she was like an angel!" gasped Ringabel looking into the distance lovestrucked." Except she was carrying an open tub of ice cream, and when I had... appeared behind her she spun around, and threw the tub in my face! Talk about rude! And to make matters worse, she called me a creep and stalker!"
Using his left index finger, he gathers a generous amount on his finger then puts that said finger into his mouth, savoring the sweet taste of dark chocolate ice cream. Tiz just stared at him, in both amazement and sadness.
"Uh-huh, I could understand why," replied Tiz taking a sip from his coffee as Ringabel popped the finger out of his mouth.
"Care for some? I wouldn't want it to go to waste," asked Ringabel a deep and romantic tone to his voice. He stared at Tiz as if he were a lady he was trying to seduce." You don't even need a spoon as I would be happy if you licked it off my beautiful face."
"Um... yeah, Ringabel? I'm- I'm not gay," replied Tiz akwardly causing Ringabel to laugh loudly.
"I'm only teasing, Tiz," said Ringabel much to the other boy's relief." But we can do it if you want to."
"And I don't!" shouted Tiz earning a confused look from an old couple walking by." And I thought we were talking about Agnes, and me!"
"Yes, yes but a little humor in between never killed anyone. Except this one girl who nearly died of laughter over this joke I had-"
"Can we focus!?"
"But you should really listen to this joke! It was a real kil-"
The murderous glare from the farm boy caused Ringabel to dismiss his thought for the meantime.
Agnes studied the object Edea held in her left hand as if it was alien to her. It was, in fact, mysterious as it was smooth, closed and had an antena stickiking out of the left corner. When she opened it, it had a small, rectangular screen and there were... things with numerous numbers and symbols on them and the there were small holes beside the screen on both sides.
"What is this peculialar object, Edea?" asked Agnes turning the object around, inspecting it at all sides.
"Apparently, it's an object that allows you to talk to people from afar," replied Edea.
"Is it magic?" asked Tiz grabbing the phone out of Agnes' hand, and repeating her actions.
"I believe it is due to something that allows the maginectic field around our world to be used to its full potential," replied Ringabel looking at the book Edea gave him.
"So it would be magic?" repeated Agnes almost as clueless as Tiz.
Edea slapped her forehead, sighing in annoyance and helplessness over the pair who seemed to be a perfect couple in nearly everything.
"It's kind of hard to explain since only the researchers in Eternia understand this concept," sighed Edea shaking her head while her bow fell off of her head. She quickly leaned down and picked it up." There's this field, an invisible field, around our world that causes a maginetic force which-"
"Which keeps us held to the ground, and explains why the seasons change," finished Ringabel sneaking a quick glance at a passing waitress.
"So the researchers in Eternia are finding a way to harness this strange force?" asked Agnes earning a nod from Edea.
"That's about the jist of it, though I got that 'thing' from a traveling merchant," replied Edea taking a sip from her coffee.
"But I assume this merchant isn't from our world, correct?" said Ringabel earning a nod from the future Grand Marshal.
"He said something about traveling across the dimensions to deliver out of this world items, or something like that," replied Edea." I stopped listening after he said dimensions."
"So it's a guy?" said Ringabel almost disappointed.
"Not that it really matters, since the merchant only comes around once per week, and is extremely hard to find. I only stumbled upon him by accident, and pure luck."
Ringabel smirked smugly." Oh, I'm certain our runaway compass could find him now problem. All we have to do is activate her navigation skills, and the way to the pot at the end of the rainbow awaits."
Suddenly, the object shook violently letting out a loud mechanic hum causing Agnes to jump up in surprise, letting go of the object in the process. Edea immediately burst into laughter, earning an angry look from Tiz, but he soon found himslef joining in. Agnes held her dark, blood red face in her hands while Ringabel moved over to comfort her.
"Darling-" began Ringabel in his deep, romantic voice then spotted another beautiful woman walking past their table." Hold that thought."
As Ringabel chased after the woman, Tiz and Edea were engulfing in hearty laughter, their sides slowly hurting from over exhaustion. But they didn't care since it was worth it.
