Alright! How’s everyone doing today? Great? Not so great? You can tell me all about it—but wait just a sec. There's something I want to ask.

[Kaden fidgets with his device. He’s not quite sure where to point it, but eventually his face appears! And there are his ears, bouncing a little, flicking as he starts to talk.]

Does anyone know where I can find someone named Shura? I was looking all over for her at the gala. Let’s see...she has red hair, she loves food on a stick, she does odd jobs, and she likes talking about socks. Anyone know anyone like that? I owe her for a big favor she did me! See? [He moves the camera to a set of fancy chocolates.] They’re alcohol-filled chocolates! What will they think of next? She's going to love them. [He turns the camera back to himself, beaming.] If you can help me, I’ll owe you a big favor, too. It’s important that I give these to her right away. Thanks!

[But wait! There’s more. He pauses just long enough to segue, his smile fading a little.]

The atmosphere’s a little tense lately, but I don't need to point that out. I was just thinking that I’ve never really been to Olympia, so I should check out what that’s all about, right? So, I’m also looking for a tour guide! If anyone wants to show me all the sights...all the best places to eat, all the best places to nap, and where to find the best tail-brushers...I’d really appreciate it! Doesn’t that sound like a lot of fun? Plus, you get to spend time with me! Kaden!

Just answer if you think you can help, alright? And don’t be shy! I might be a kitsune, but I don’t bite unless I have a good reason. I promise.

[Kaden's only concern is how soon can it happen? Because, um, he's a fantastic traveling companion? He'll find them both a nice bar and they can both get their tails petted, and....ah, wait, Lancer doesn't have a tail. What a bummer. He'll have to find something else for him to enjoy.]

Let's do it, then! We'll do a little exploring, figure out everything we need to know...ooh, I bet I can find us a nice place to stay, too. I'm sort of an expert when it comes to napping, so I can find the softest beds. It'll be a great trip.

[playingfetch]

All right, you're on. Truth is, I don't sleep in a lot of soft beds, so I'll leave that part up to you.

[Ironic that of the two of them, Lancer's the one who sleeps on the damn floor or outside like a dog. He'd probably be into a large pet bed.]

[inreturn]

What? You don't? Not even with your wife?

[What a sad story. Kaden is moved. Really moved. Alright, he's got to cheer his blue buddy up before he's even bluer.]

Alright, Lancer! I'll find us the nicest, comfiest bed. [Not beds.] Just wait and see! I'll make some arrangements and then we'll both go.

[playingfetch]

[Someday, not too far from now, Lancer's going to remember this moment and how he totally assumed "bed," singular, was a slip of the tongue, and decided not to press that to confirm.

Someday.

For now: thumbs up.]

You know where to find me! Least on this thing you do. And I told you, my wife ain't here. Don't you worry about how much time I spent in bed with her back then.

[Poor Lancer. No one is ever ready for Kaden.]

Alright! Once I finish up a few things, you'll be the first person I call on..this thing. [He points at his device? He's not sure what to call any of this.] Until then, take care!
