[That's all Kazuki needs to hear to get going again. He takes off, quick to accelerate. The bike isn't made for speed, but he also isn't aiming for the speeds that competitive cyclists reach. So it's plenty fast enough for him. He might even head out far enough that Kija may find him hard to see, but whips around right after. He speeds back, clearly capable and very in control when he comes to a stop, one foot upon the ground to keep the bike upright as he remains seated.]

Neat, huh?

	[Wha..... He's just amazed.] . . . I want to try one of these cycles... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Meanwhile he's amused.] It does take practice, but I wouldn't mind helping out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am sure that if you can ride it so easily it will be a simple thing to learn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soukyuu 2016-03-30 07:55 am UTC (link)
	It's because I've ridden one before. . . [Kind of. Maybe. He's also just incredibly athletically gifted.] You really need to be careful, though, and wear a helmet and maybe knee and elbow pads. Falling can really hurt, especially if you're going really fast. I'll teach you, though, I insist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even without I should be fine. I have not worn such even when riding a horse. [But he'd like to learn.] I will take you up on your offer, however. I would like to learn how to ride one of these bicycles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soukyuu 2016-04-01 02:48 am UTC (link)
	[But a horse doesn't require nearly as much balance control.] I really don't want you to get hurt, though. [His attention lowers to Kija's clothing.] You'll definitely want to change into different clothes, too. The ones you have will make it really dangerous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is wrong with my clothes? [The clothes of his people... ] I wear them even into battle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're long and very loose. It would hinder the use of the pedals, and take nothing at all to catch in the gears. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-04-01 04:31 am UTC (link)
	[ . . . That is fair enough.] I will look into finding... clothing that is suitable to such an activity, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soukyuu 2016-04-01 05:55 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad, then. It shouldn't be too difficult. What I'm dressed as is perfectly fine. [That being a pair of cargo pants, a t-shirt, and sneakers. It shouldn't take much effort.] So do you really just have horses where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's certainly different. But he'll figure something out. He's Hakuryuu after all. If a dragon warrior cannot pick out his own clothes, then he will be a shame to his title.] My companions and I travel on foot most days. But by horse would be much quicker. Horse drawn carriages, or boats. Those all really the only options available. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It sounds like you're from a ways back in history, then. . . [The idea of such really seems to catch his interest. It's so very different, and a long time ago, going off of those modes of transport.] So what's your world like? Traveling around sounds like a lot of fun. [Sorry, Kija. Even without his amplified cheerfulness he would be especially curious.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Normally he feels himself prickle when someone mentions his apparent time period, or being from the past. It's usually remarked in a way that makes them seem 'uncivilized'. But the way he remarks on it now sounds more curious than anything else.

Although... to Kija it's certainly not history. It's the present.

... Even if apparently he was from the past of his friends.]

It is a very beautiful place. There are many more trees and animals than what is found here. My companions and myself are traveling the country to find ways in which to help strengthen the people within.

You all must have so many adventures. I'd love to do something like that! Is it a very large country. . .? What's its name? This Dome is plenty pretty, already. I can only imagine what your home must be like.

[he's honestly envious, even though he really shouldn't be. it is what it is back home. But that's not something he'll focus on.]

That's a very admirable goal to be working towards. You and your friends sound like very good people.

	Yes. The princess is an admirable individual. She is divine. [So much devotion] It is the Kingdom Kouka. I would say that it is large. It takes weeks to months sometimes to cross to certain locations. Although I would say from the maps I have seen that the Kai Empire is much larger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Princess? Is she, or are any of your other friends here as well?

[He only knows of a Princess Leia.]

Ah. . . I can't say I've ever heard of it.

[Then again, there are plenty of places in his own world he's unaware of. General country names to a degree, but not many when it comes down to the smaller details.]

It does sound neat, though. I'm from a country known as Japan. [Or the remnants of.]

She is here. [A blessing and a curse. He's relieved that he is with her to keep her safe, but that she is here is frustrating understandably. The princess is definitely not a criminal.]

I have a few companions from home with me here. But two of our group is still missing. I am worried about them being on their own. I will say that I am unfamiliar with Japan, however. But I have heard it mentioned here on occasion.

[A small nod.] My best friend from home is also here with me, which I'm grateful for. It's been a long while since I last saw him. We know our friends and family back home are strong and can handle things well, but I do worry at times.

[More so about that whole clone part of this. There's no way.]

Same here! There seems to be different versions of Japan, which is kind of neat.

	[ . . . He appears a little disgruntled at that.] Yes. I have heard about these different 'worlds', too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soukyuu 2016-04-07 03:30 am UTC (link)
	Fascinating, isn't it? [. . . Even though, back home, it also is very real that other planets, universes, and dimensions all exist. It's much nicer that those he's met, here, have been far more pleasant than the Festum. He pauses with Kija's expression, though.] Is something wrong? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-04-10 04:20 pm UTC (link)
	It is nothing. [IT'S NOT NOTHING. How is everyone so comfortable with impostors??] I had not heard of such until my arrival here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soukyuu 2016-04-11 02:49 am UTC (link)
	Ah. I can see why it's such a surprise to you, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is a shock to learn that there are individuals pretending to be us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soukyuu 2016-04-13 02:30 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure there's still the possibility that that is false. [It's what Kazuki wants to believe. His mood is too light and easy to think about it very hard.] Time moves oddly, right? Maybe it affects home in a different way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
