Concerned Traveler

The **Concerned Traveler** is an anonymous creature that appears next to Yu from time to time.

## Appearance

The Concerned Traveler dons in brown cloak. It has a dark face and blue eyes.

## Activities

It likes following Yu traveling across worlds, giving advise, and teleporting them if requested. In the Main World, it may morph into a crow, perching on branches to warn Yu of any danger.

The Concerned Traveler mentions to Yu that it likes to "nudge boulders" from time to time. After Yu defeats Id with the accompany of friends, it and Caravaner shut the door to the Monster World together using magic.

The Concerned Traveler likes reading. Nearly every time Yu meets it, it is lying on the ground with a book in its hand, and sometimes with extra piles of books lying around. Right after a fight with Id in front of the door to the Monster World, it "brought a bit of light reading" to wait for the fight to be over.

## Quotes

* Tweedle-dee-tak... tap anywhere to attack! Tweedle-dee-trub... you can slash shrubs! Tweedle-dee... Look, just walk up to those bushes and tap the screen, okay? There you go. You got it. Ok. Overkill. But I appreciate the energy. There's no coins in the bush, if that's what you are doing. Did... did shrubs hurt you? As a child or something? Uh... Aw crap, did I just create a serial killer or something? Yup, that's what I did. Teaching silly children to stab things. Oh man, no one's going to like me after this. You know, of the ones that aren't serially murdered... I should probably warn someone. Hmm.
* Our world floats in a sea of twisted pathways, tangling spaces together that should have never touched, especially worlds like the one behind that toothy door. This needs fixed. But... you already knew that, didn't you? I see now. You were not pulled to this world. You came here, for your own reasons. I am curious to learn what those reasons are. But that is a mystery that will reveal itself soon. See you at the Big Sword, little hero. Good luck.
* We meet in such strange places. What? I can't stay in a dusty old basement ALL of the time. It's bad for my complexion. Besides, don't you have more pressing matters?
* I see that you braved the darkness. And even what lies within it. Such a task for a small creature. You must be very focused. Or perhaps... this is no feat at all for the likes of you? No matter. Those questions are for another day. For now, would you like me to rescue you from this stone pillar?
* That demon knows you only get better at defeating him each time you fight. Regardless of whether you win or lose. That's why he is never waiting for you at the same place twice. Use your time with him wisely. I'm sure that when his back is truly to the wall, he'll find a much more nefarious way to only fight you once.
* Are you wondering who I am? Just a concerned traveler. Finding the right boulders to nudge, so that they may roll down the hills of life and crush the universe's problems. It's easier than rolling down the hill myself, by far. Though, such subtle nudging is a masterful skill of mine. Wouldn't you agree, tweedle-tee-dee?~
* You ever restart the same paragraph of a book so many times the worlds stop making sense? But you still have to get through the paragraph to finish the book? Terrible, right? It usually only happens to me when someone interrupts my reading over and over... ... Do... do you see what I'm saying here?
* Hm? Oh, yes. I mean, probably. Magic, right? Who knows with this stuff. Either way, thank you. This wouldn't have been possible without your help. You did the universe a solid today. Well, two solids. Stopping your machine and resealing an abyssal world. If you ever need a favor from the Doorfinders, you know where to find us. Well, actually you don't. But that's kind of the point.
