[She's gotten to know the sights, know some of the people, and gone through her own experience of events that happen around this place...and now, she feels like it's time for a vacation.]

Why, hello Luceti! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Yuuna, Yuuna Sugasawa. I'm planning on a little trip with a friend, so I wanted to ask what you guys like to do when you go out camping or hiking? We've got a couple ideas, but I'm looking to see if anyone else had good suggestions. We'll be going out for a few days, and seeing the sights- oh, and if any of you have any advice while we're out, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

Action

[Yuuna's going to be in and out of the clothing shop, getting boots and other hiking things she'll need, the grocery store picking up some food, stopping by the convenience store to get any other miscellaneous items, and finally back to House 44 where she'll be cooking, packing, and playing with Keiko, the shiba inu/pug mix who is as they say, a stately old maid.]

Camping?

[Ew. What the hell, Yuuna?]

That's simple. Don't die.

Oh, I think I could have figured that one out by myself, thanks! [What a troll!]

You're welcome.

I wasn't sure that you'd be able to survive against the forces of nature, so I thought a little reminder would help.

You also might want to carry around a very big stick.

[He's just going to troll you right back.]

Hey! We can do just fine out in the wilderness! And why bother with a stick when I can just bring my sword~? [Finding a walking stick wasn't a bad idea though. But the way he phrased it sounds like the phrase, 'speak softly and carry a big stick', but she's not sure if Barnaby will get it...]

[He was well aware of the phrase. In fact, he was intentionally playing off of it.]

Somehow I doubt a sword would do well against a spider. It's too small.

There's ways around that. I'll just zap it if it comes near me. If I don't Saori might make me practice my magic. [She whines, she doesn't wanna practice magic.]

You make it sound like it's being so easy is a bad thing

[Seriously. Being your own bug zapper was awesome.]

Well, it's not all that easy for me, because well, I don't really practice much. [She laughs nervously, like she just got caught.] I guess I can do it well enough but...

[Nope, she's got no excuse at all for not practicing. She'll just get to it later, you know...]

[Barnaby knew that feeling. Intimately. Especially when he was in his darker moments where even answering his phone could wait for later.]

Do what you want. A lot of people would envy you anyway.

[Because, seriously. Bug Zapper.]

I think I'll take your advice on that! [PERMISSION TO PROCRASTINATE GRANTED? YESSSSS]

A lot of people might envy me, but I envy a lot of other people here. In comparison I'm really nothing special. [It's said humbly, and cheerfully, since well, duh. Almost everyone here was far more spectacular than Yuuna is.]

Compared to what, exactly?

[Dryly. Compared to Yuuna, Barnaby's limited powerset was absolutely nothing.]

I've seen people fly around here, have super strength, and heard various other stories. I mean, all I can do is what? Zap a bug, create a tiny bit of water, and maybe create enough wind to knock someone's hat off their head. That's really it. I could do more, but I just...don't really put a lot of effort into it, that's all.

[No reason to.]

But you could do more.

[Bluntly stating the obvious. Barnaby didn't care about what she did in this regard-- it was her choice. The answer to this just sounded obvious to him.]

Don't you think that it might be interesting to try to match the others?

Not really. I'm not the competitive type. I'm happy with what I've got, even if it isn't much. [A result of not having a lot her whole life.]

[That was a direct counterpoint for him, as Barnaby was the competitive sort. His constant battle for points was what brought him to the top and made him King of Heroes, after all. It wasn't a title to sneeze at.]

Hm. That makes sense.

[Heart first and skills second. That was why she was so relaxed in her actions.]

You're not like that at all, are you? [She got the feeling from how he phrased his previous question that he wasn't the sort to sit back and relax.]

No. Not particularly.

[It was a constant that remained between his true self and the imagined reality that they met in. He couldn't just sit down and watch the world, not when his heart was in his every action.]

[He has drive. Well...]

You know, I've never bothered to ask- what do you do back at home? I mean, for a job?

I'm in public service, for what it's worth.

[He quickly crafted together a filter and put it in place while he spoke.]

Although, you might not see it like that. [He sighed. How was he going to explain the way HeroTV worked?]

[At least she's come to accept all different kinds of oddities from other worlds.]

So, you work for the government? Don't tell me you're a lobbyist, because that definitely isn't public service, nor really working for the government at all, really. [It's a joke, of course.]

Please. Do I look like I'm interested in that kind of thing?

[...

He heaved a sigh, but kept up a light tone.]

I work to protect the city of Sternbild from crime. Or, I did before I retired.

...There's really no easy way to describe it.

So you were a cop, of sorts. I understand. That's very noble of you. You don't have to describe it if you don't want to.

[Yeah, cops get a bad rap but they also get put in a lot of danger. And she figures from the way he says it, there's a lot more to it than what he's letting on.]
