"Azama!" Setsuna drawled, smiling as she finally managed to find the elusive monk. "There you are...you've been gone so long Azama, it must have been something important."
Ooh. She’d found him.
“Setsuna,” he offered by way of greeting, wearing a whimsical smile of his own. “Was it really so long? Time being in many ways but a construct, I can’t say I really paid it much mind… That aside, did our Lady Hinoka not mention? She sent me off to tend to a village on the kingdom border.”
The monk’s brows lifted skeptically. “Perhaps it was more important an endeavour than I was led to believe, if it was kept in such secrecy…” His smile grew into a wicked grin betraying his amusement. “Or less important! Either way, here I am now. Can you believe I’ve gained something of a following over there? Truly, entertainment at its finest.” Humans could be so strange.
