(@askthecosmicprince ) “What is a dungeon master?” The small mew tilted his head as he looked at Rue, “are they all as large as miss Pikavee? It must be helpful being so large if they protect things.”
[ @askthecosmicprince ]
Rue: “W-well, yes, they are quite big in size. In fact, I think the Sea Guardian herself is much, much larger than Pikavee.”
She seemed taken aback at the sight of this Mew; a full-blood Mew, no less. She recalled Livingston’s teachings about how such Pokemon are extremely unlikely to come by.
Yet here one was, casually speaking with her.
Rue: “But a Dungeon Master is just what we call god Pokemon that lord over the ruins scattered around the Isle. True to their name, they protect those lands from threats.”

Rue: “But what is and isn’t a threat tends to vary with the Dungeon Master. Some areas are incredibly dangerous to set foot in for that reason. Mainly areas outside our borders.”
Once again, to Rue’s increasing chagrin, Hazel butt in, approaching close to the Mew to begin rattling off.
Hazel: “Oh, yeah. Basically everything she just said. Those guys are a big deal. A bunch of them are patron deities, which is what happens when that protection extends to certain bloodlines, then there’s the treasure they’re said to be guarding… wait, I’m supposed to be looking for that now!”
Upon realizing she became distracted with side talk, she proceeded to further make a scene. She clutched the sides of her head and began to rant in frustration.
Hazel: “I-it’s important. Vurunne needs me, she asked me to do something important, and what am I fucking doing?!”
Fenninkou: “Hey, cool it!”
Fenninkou stamped her front paw in response, stepping up to Hazel as she growled at the latter.

Fenninkou: “I swear, if you hurt anyone here…!”
Rue: “Fenninkou! Both of you… settle down, please.”
