**The Shy Researcher**

 *In the castle, during the day*

**Euden**: Hm? Who is that...?

**Althemia**: Amazing... Incredible! Stupendous!

**Althemia**: This castle is absolutely dripping with ancient magic!

**Althemia**: It's a treasure trove of past wisdom. I want to— No, I MUST study it from top to bottom!

**Euden**: Excuse me—

**Althemia**: Gaaah!

**Euden**: Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.

**Euden**: I'm Euden, and this is my castle.

**Euden**: How exactly did you get in here? I don't recall ever seeing you before.

**Althemia**: Oh! Well, I, um... You see...

**Althemia**: Deep breaths, Althemia. Calm down...

**Althemia**: J-just... Just answer the question...

**Euden**: Sorry; did you say something? You're a bit...mumbly.

**Althemia**: Oh, I... I was just t-talking. To myself.

**Althemia**: Um, you see... Th-this castle, it... It's really...really...old.

**Euden**: Uh, yep. It sure is.

**Euden**: I was told it was built many generations ago. Er, but what does its age have to do with anything?

**Althemia**: Uhh, well, because it's old, there's a lot of... Uh, what I mean is... I kind of want to look around and...inspect it?

**Euden**: You want to inspect the castle because it's old?

**Euden**: Is it dangerous or something? I know we're a bit behind on repairs, but—

**Althemia**: N-no! I'm not here to do repairs! I just want to look around!

**Euden**: I'm sorry. I'm very confused.

**Althemia**: It's... Look, I'm trying to tell you... Oh, for heaven's sake!

**Althemia**: This castle is of the utmost academic importance!

**Althemia**: It's squandered serving as mere shelter for unlearned neophytes like you!

**Althemia**: I doubt there is a single qualified scholar among your numbers.

**Althemia**: Luckily for you I, the great Althemia, came along. You should be grateful I'm here to study this castle for you!

**Euden**: ...Yikes.

**Althemia**: Oh...

**Althemia**: I...I didn't... I didn't mean it that way... I'm...

**Euden**: Let me see if I understand you correctly. You want to research this castle, yes?

**Althemia**: Uh... Y-yes, that... That's right.

**Euden**: I see. Well, you could have just said that from the start.

**Euden**: But yes, that's fine. There's plenty I'd like to learn about it, so having someone dedicated to research would be helpful.

**Althemia**: You mean... It's okay? Even after how I spoke to you...?

**Euden**: Well, it WAS a bit hard to parse what you were after at first.

**Althemia**: N-no, I mean... The horrible things I said. I know I must have offended you.

**Euden**: Oh, I've heard worse.

**Euden**: In any case, welcome to the castle, Althemia. We're happy to have you.

**Althemia**: I...um... It's m-my pleasure...

**A Willing Student**

 *In the castle, during the evening*

**Ranzal**: Hey, it's Althemia!

**Euden**: How are your studies of the castle progressing?

**Althemia**: U-um...

**Ranzal**: Found anything interesting yet?

**Ranzal**: All I can see are borin' old stone walls.

**Althemia**: Wh-what do I do, what do I do? S-say something!

**Ranzal**: Huh? Speak up there. I can't hear ya.

**Althemia**: Oh! Um... I-interesting, you say?

**Althemia**: Take this wall, for example. It's just one of many saturated with fascinating history!

**Althemia**: Like these scrawled runes here!

**Althemia**: I'm sure you know just by looking, but these inscriptions are mixed with the arcane techniques of a strange civilization—

**Ranzal**: This ain't just some fancy decoration?

**Althemia**: Not at all! There are vestiges of ancient magic. You live here—you ought to take more interest in such things!

**Ranzal**: R-right...

**Althemia**: I...

**Althemia**: Um...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. That was very rude.

**Euden**: Hmm... You're right, Althemia.

**Euden**: We've never really appreciated our home like we should.

**Althemia**: What...?

**Euden**: I have a favor to ask.

**Euden**: Would you mind teaching me all there is to know about this castle?

**Althemia**: I... That... Um...

**Althemia**: W-well, if I must.

**Althemia**: But it will take me until morning to explain everything to you, and I won't abide any complaints!

**Euden**: I'm happy to listen for as long as it takes.

**Ranzal**: All NIGHT?!

**Ranzal**: I, uh... I just remembered, there's this thing I gotta do. Somewhere else.

**Althemia**: Right. The first thing you need to know about this castle is...

*The next morning*

**Althemia**: ...And there you have it!

**Althemia**: Ahh, I'm so happy I found this castle!

**Euden**: ......

**Althemia**: Oh, but I've been rambling on and on!

**Althemia**: Y-you must've been so bored. I'm sorry...

**Euden**: Hmm... That was really enlightening.

**Euden**: Thank you for telling me the time to teach me all of that, Althemia.

**Althemia**: What...?

**Euden**: There was a lot I didn't understand, but I know much more about this castle now than I did before.

**Euden**: Please let me know whenever you discover something new.

**Althemia**: I, um... Sure.

**Althemia**: Thank you...for listening to me.

**Althemia**: And for teaching me something. Heh...

**Tongue-Tied**

 *In the desert, during the day*

**Euden**: Phew... I'm not sure how we managed that, but we did.

**Althemia**: \*sniff\* No thanks to me... I was totally useless in that fight...

**Althemia**: I studied so much about that fiend, and it still got the best of me.

**Elisanne**: Althemia, what was it that prevented you from coming to my aid when I asked?

**Althemia**: Uh. That I... Well...

**Althemia**: Th-the characteristic of that fiend is...um... That fiend, its weakness is... \*sniff\*

**Elisanne**: What is it? Do not mince words.

**Althemia**: \*sniff\*

**Althemia**: I-if I knew...how to do that...I would. Don't you think I'd have already explained?

**Althemia**: S-sorry I can't just spit it out! Excuuuse me!

**Althemia**: Not everyone can be as perfect as you!

**Elisanne**: Althemia, wait! ...What's come over her?

*In the castle*

**Althemia**: I did it again...

**Althemia**: Why can't I just say what I want to say...?

**Euden**: There you are, Althemia.

**Althemia**: Euden...

**Althemia**: C-come to laugh at me?

**Euden**: No. Why would I—

**Althemia**: I am laughable, aren't I?

**Althemia**: I can jabber on about the most useless trivia, but when it comes down to anything important, I can't string words together.

**Althemia**: No wonder Elisanne is frustrated with me.

**Althemia**: I know you poke fun behind my back.

**Althemia**: Don't try to deny it.

**Althemia**: I know everyone hates me!

**Althemia**: And I...I can't blame you...

**Althemia**: Even I can't stand myself...

**Euden**: I'd never make fun of you, Althemia.

**Euden**: All I came to do was talk to you.

**Euden**: You were trying to explain something to Elisanne earlier, right?

**Althemia**: You...you could tell?

**Althemia**: The...the truth is, I...thought of a good way to...to defeat the fiends.

**Althemia**: I, um...figured it out from studying them.

**Althemia**: But since I...I can't really explain it right, I just... I couldn't tell her, so...

**Elisanne**: Althemia.

**Althemia**: Elisanne...? W-were you listening this whole time?

**Elisanne**: Allow me to apologize for earlier.

**Elisanne**: The way I phrased my question was incredibly rude. I understand why you struggled to form a response.

**Althemia**: E-exactly! You should be asha— No, wait! I mean...

**Althemia**: I'm sorry, too.

*That evening, inside the castle*

**Althemia**: This...the way I am...isn't working. I have to change...

**Althemia**: Because Euden and Elisanne are so nice to me... I have to!

**Now's My Chance!**

 *In the desert, during the day*

**Euden**: Don't let all those fiends surround you!

**Althemia**: T-today's the day... My research is finally going to pay off for everyone!

**Euden**: They may have greater numbers, but they aren't that strong!

**Euden**: Just stay calm and deal with them one at a time!

**Althemia**: N-no! Th-these fiends are... They...they...

**Althemia**: Why? Why can't I...when it matters most... Why do my words fail me?!

**Euden**: Althemia! Do you have any ideas?

**Althemia**: Me...?

**Euden**: Now's the time to tell me if you do! I can't read these fiends at all.

**Euden**: I could really use your wisdom!

**Althemia**: B-but I... I don't know if...I can explain...

**Euden**: I know you can! You told me all about the castle the other day, didn't you?

**Althemia**: ......

**Althemia**: Those fiends... They...

**Althemia**: The cries they make... It's their way of communicating, so we...we can't just go after them at random.

**Euden**: They're working in tandem?

**Euden**: That's why we can't read their movements when we face them one-on-one?

**Althemia**: Y-yeah... But it's j-just some of them, leading the whole pack... They give the orders, and the...the others follow.

**Althemia**: I...I can figure out which...which ones they are.

**Althemia**: S-so everyone needs to drive them into one spot...

**Althemia**: Then the rest of the fiends will gather together, and...

**Althemia**: And I can hit them with my magic all at once...

**Euden**: All right.

**Euden**: Everyone, we need to chase the fiends Althemia points out up to that high ground!

*A bit later*

**Ranzal**: Okay, we've got 'em all right where we want 'em!

**Elisanne**: Incredible... Althemia was right! The rest of them followed the leaders.

**Euden**: Althemia—now!

**Althemia**: Take this!

**Fiend**: Graaaagghhhhh!

**Ranzal**: Whoa!

**Ranzal**: What'd ya do, Althemia? They're paralyzed!

**Althemia**: I-I used sonic magic to numb their semicircular canals, since they're sensitive to sound... Uh, that doesn't matter right now! Attack them before it wears off!

*After the battle*

**Elisanne**: Thank you, Althemia.

**Elisanne**: With your strategy, we were able to defeat those fiends without sustaining injuries.

**Elisanne**: Never have I fought such an easy battle.

**Elisanne**: I am truly grateful.

**Althemia**: I...I... It...uh...

**Althemia**: Th-that's nothing to be impressed by!

**Althemia**: You sound ridiculous, making it out to be such a big deal!

**Elisanne**: Er, did I say something insensitive again?

**Euden**: No, I don't think so... I think she's just flustered.

*At the castle gates*

**Althemia**: I'm doing it again!

**Althemia**: Why? She was complimenting me! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

**A New Subject**

 *In the castle, during the day*

**Althemia**: Ah—there you are, Euden!

**Euden**: You're absolutely beaming, Althemia. Did something good happen?

**Althemia**: Yes! I'm finally seeing results from the research I've conducted on this castle!

**Ranzal**: Please don't tell me that means ya got another all-night lecture in store.

**Euden**: I can't wait for you to tell me everything you learned.

**Althemia**: Then wait no more! Listen to this!

**Althemia**: This castle contains way more mana than normal. That means...

*Later that evening*

**Althemia**: ...And thusly, things that have arcane patterns woven into them might also be related to the mana levels!

**Ranzal**: Does anyone actually understand any'a this gibberish?

**Cleo**: I'm afraid it's far too technical for me.

**Euden**: She's clearly trying to communicate something to us, though.

**Althemia**: ...Wh-what's wrong? Are you...bored?

**Elisanne**: Not at all. There are just a great number of unfamiliar terms.

**Althemia**: Hmph! Your confusion is written all over your faces! I...I mean...

**Althemia**: T-try to put it in a way they'll understand... Think about it from their perspective... Easy words...

**Althemia**: Wh-what part are you having trouble with?

**Althemia**: J-just tell me and I'll do my best to explain.

*Later that night*

**Althemia**: I had to explain every little thing! That took forever!

**Euden**: It was time well spent. Now we all know a little more about this castle.

**Euden**: Thank you, Althemia.

**Althemia**: R-really...?

**Althemia**: Um... Euden?

**Althemia**: I...I've pretty much researched all I can about the castle, so I was wondering...

**Althemia**: Would...would you let me study your shapeshifting? I mean, if you have time!

**Euden**: I would think you'd want to take a break after finishing a big research project, not leap right into another one.

**Euden**: Your passion for knowledge never ceases to amaze me.

**Althemia**: I just...want to know more about you.

**Euden**: You do?

**Althemia**: N-not you, per se, but your abilities! How you turn into a dragon?

**Euden**: Well... Sure, I don't mind.

**Euden**: You can study me to your heart's content.

**Althemia**: Oh, that's... That's good.

**Althemia**: Well, who wouldn't want to be the subject of my research? You'd have to be a fool to refuse.

**Althemia**: I mean... Um...

**Althemia**: Thank you, Euden. I...I really appreciate it.

**Euden**: Appreciate what?

**Euden**: All I did was say you could research me.

**Althemia**: It's not just that. It's... Oh, never mind!

**Althemia**: In any case, I'd like to begin my research, so come with me!

**Althemia**: This is going to take some time, I'm afraid.

**Althemia**: You're going to be stuck with me for a while, Euden!

*The End*
