Huh? It looks like a door key.

[sleeplessknight]

... I know that. I mean, what door?

[bluerosestyle]

[? looking at the key, reaches fo--

stops himself]

Where did you find that?

[sleeplessknight]

One of the monsters from before dropped it before disappearing.

[bluerosestyle]

. . . They've never dropped anything for me. But goblins come from the Dark Territory, so... maybe it's from there?

[sleeplessknight]

You mean that place where people aren't supposed to go?

[bluerosestyle]

. . . Yeah.

[sleeplessknight]

... Mmmh.

A-Anyway, how do I stop the cold?

[bluerosestyle]

[silent for a moment]

It might have something to do with the Blue Rose Sword, but other than that... I'm not sure.

[sleeplessknight]

A sword is causing this?

Does that mean I have to break it, or...?

[bluerosestyle]

Ah-- No, don't try to break it. It's a Divine weapon. The problem is more... who is wielding it, and what they want to do with it.

It was my sword, back then. But now all I have is this. [gestures at his sword, which is a replica of the one he has in Imeeji]

[sleeplessknight]

O-Oh...

[does that mean I'm going to have to fight someone???

aaaaaa]

So... where should I start looking?

[bluerosestyle]

If you're sure you want to do this, you'll need to track down the source of the cold... I doubt it comes from the village.

[sleeplessknight]

[nods, listening]

[bluerosestyle]

[he wasn't going to say more, but. he looks north, pointing there]

I know there's ice in the End Mountains. You can get there if you follow the Rul river upstream.

[sleeplessknight]

[finishes her meat skewer in a couple of bites]

Okay. [nods]

I'll go.

[she stands up, looking for a new branch on the floor, one that looks long and sturdy enough]

[bluerosestyle]

[Let's do it right this time:]

Weapon: Branch

...

I'm sorry I can't go with you. I know you're strong, but if you find yourself in danger, run.

[sleeplessknight]

I'm sure I'll be okay! Don't worry.

[bluerosestyle]

...

[nods]

[sleeplessknight]

[starts heading off but stops to look back]

... But seriously, stop doing that.

[bluerosestyle]

[looks up from his meat skewer like, ?]

[sleeplessknight]

Hurting yourself for the sake of other people.

[bluerosestyle]

...

[sleeplessknight]

Eugeo...

[walks back over to him and drops the branch for a second to take off the scarf again and thoroughly wrap it around his neck and face, until only his nose and eyes remain visible]

I'm gonna try my best to help with this, so you have to try too, okay?

[bluerosestyle]

Yuuki...

[his voice is muffled for obvious reasons]
