[For once, this hermit isn't selling weird things for his lemonade stand. Somewhere in the quieter places of the dressingroom, where the possibility of population is hopefully zero, there's a Colonel. He was sitting in the middle of the field, staring out to space. It seems he has no interests in anything, but the area before him.

Actually, he was staring at the rows of pumpkins in the field. And maybe a crow or two.]

Hopefully, this spot is more quieter and peaceful. Everywhere else is just noisey.

[She'll be looking around and about, then! And spot Jade, who is... looking at pumpkins?]

Oh - Colonel?

[He looks up.]

Hello, Anise. You look different.

Ahh, so you're not the Colonel I spoke to, earlier.

[She smiles]

Older, maybe. But do I really look all that different?

Not much.

So, how is it back home?

It's been okay. Generally peaceful, but you know how things never stay quiet for long.

Oh, what happened?

Nothing too exciting, Colonel. Just a bit of civil unrest. And the occasional religious fanatic who give us over at the Cathedral one hell of a migraine.

I see.

I suggest taking a small break. I am thinking of taking a pumpkin to make pumpkin pies and pumpkin porridge. I wonder if you would like some?

I'd really like to get home, actually. I'm a little worried - things can't be good if I'm not at the Cathedral to take care of stuff... [She trails off, distracted.]

But - pumpkin pie, Colonel? That sounds delicious~ Do you need help making them?

Most of the people here wanted to go back home.

I don't need help, but I was wondering if you would like some.

I'm sure. It's a little unsettling to suddenly find yourself in another dimension...

Ah, I would like some, actually. I'm sure they'll taste great.

Try looking at two Jades in one dimension.

[He finally found one pumpkin he likes that is just the perfect size.]

Well, then follow me.

[And his pet crows will be following him too.]

You're the second Colonel I've seen, actually. It really is pretty strange!

[And she'll be falling into step quite easily beside him. Trying not to wonder about those crows, either.]

Really? I wonder if we're any different...

[Don't mind the birds, they're just flying towards Jade's house.]

A little. You're very pleasant. [She smiles. She likes you a lot already. Except it's kind of creepy the way he smiles. But he doesn't need to know that.]

Me pleasant? Oh, I was hoping for the opposite and aiming for being dreadful.

Perhaps I have truly gone senile.

[She laughs at that - clear and honestly amused.]

You always say something like that, Colonel. But I've found that you're always pleasant, deep down. Even the one in my Auldrant. You're just - especially so.

Although senility can't be a far-off guess, I suppose~

[He looks really amused.]

So, I take it that you're the Fon Master now back in Auldrant? I am from your past.

Most people here are from "the past". I'm meeting up with people much younger-looking than I remember them to be - it's been quite an experience.

But yeah, I'm the Fon Master now. Well, I haven't been for very long - it'll only be a year soon, actually.

I see. Reforming the Order is quite a task. Is there is still some people who follow the Score?

A lot. [She sighs] Mostly the conservative faction. It isn't easy, but I guess I was expecting it. These people have lived with the Score their whole lives. I just wish they'd listen, though...

My, my, and that makes you more prone to migraines.

I'll make you lunch. My treat. ♥

Ah - wh-what? Colonel, there's no need-...

Oh? Maybe I should eat by myself...[Makes a pretend sadface.]

[... She rolls her eyes with a grin. Well, if you're going to be like that...]

...- But I suppose I can take you up on that offer. It's been quite a while since we've had any meal together, after all.
