PMDU Task Cactus Field : Friends

Dolus sighs as he looked blankly at the drylands. Luke's words was ringing in his head as he remembers.

"I know you want to help with the construction and all, but...you are too young."

Dolus giving a face of protest, he wanted to give help as much as he can but Luke replied.

"I know, I know...I heard from Gavina and Cassidy you are pretty good at keeping yourself but still I cannot allow you to do this."

Dolus tilted his head down, Gavina did not let him go with Bass and follow her to search the merchants either, the reason was pretty much the same as Luke's.

"Eehh...how about this? How about you're making new friends here and search some info maybe? About Geoda and all? Agreed? I will give you something for the trouble, deal?"

Dolus looked at Luke for a moment and nodded slowly.

Back from flashbacks, he mumbles.

"Friends....? How?"

He is in a very deep thought. Just as he still thinking about what he should do Claire comes and ruffling his head.

"Hey Dolus~ what's wrong?"

Claire as usual looking cheery as once he met her before.

"Ah, Master...I am okay...I just don't know what to do."

Claire's confused.

"Tell me what happened."

Dolus explains.

"Aaaaahhhhh....Friends? Well at this age kids mostly plays and makings friends, but you seem to be different, you seem kind of mature early, and you came here by yourself because following your childhood friend and seem to blend just fine with society, but...why you're confused of making friends?"

Dolus frowns a bit.

"Master....it is not because I cannot make friends. It is just that I dunno how to act like a child. Most kids told me I was boring, I was always try to be an adult because Grandpa never impressed with me and it just stick like that, in addition...Papa always bring me to the bar as well making it much worse...*sigh*.

Claire jolts.

"A....bar...?"

Dolus continued.

"Mama was so mad...but it just stuck in me."

Claire asks.

"What did he teach you?"

Dolus replied.

"How to get easy info and lie."

Claire confused.

"Huh? Whaaaaa???"

Dolus hesitates a bit and replied.

"Uh....how can I say it, Mama usually forbids me...uh....seduce?"

Claire even more confused.

"Uuuhhhhh......."

Dolus even more hesitates.

"He was uh....born pretty...so he always did that when he traveled before....and he taught me how....others seem to enjoy looking pretty mons.., and it made them blind."

Claire's heard and sigh.

"That's....a unique teaching way of a father....though a bit.......inappropriate for you, ahahah...But! Well! Ahem! Let's concentrate on searching friends....after....info searching yes?"

Claire smiles and pulling Dolus softly with her ghostly hand.

"Let's go shall we?"




Long story is long.
