Hazuki let out a long exhale, the fire from the sword crackling beside him. The desert wind rolled gently, making the sand hiss quietly in the dark.
"…Still," Hazuki muttered, eyes fixed on the stars, "it'd be nice if we weren't wandering all the time. I wouldn't mind settling somewhere quiet. Just for a while."
Ridan blinked, voice a little less playful. "That doesn't sound like you."
"Yeah, yeah," Hazuki waved it off, "just talking to the stars. Don't mind me."
Ridan floated up again and glanced at the horizon. "You know… if you really wanted to settle down, you'd need more than meat and water."
Hazuki blinked. "You mean money?"
"No. I mean Ellyn."
Hazuki choked slightly on the last bite of lizard meat he was chewing. "W-what the hell does she have to do with that!?"
"What? You like kids, right?" Ridan teased, smirking.
"I love her adult version! Not the kid one!"
