[okay yeah that's the right answer

also, please hold.... professional moniker.... the only people he's met who've had professional monikers include father abel and --]

...Orden.

[ORDEN?? REALLY??? HELLO??? but Seonho looks less surprised now, most of his shock fading away because a.) well, it explains the outfit and b.) hwi is here and has his blank face on, and Seonho always strives to look less stupid than Hwi at any given moment.]

I am honored to finally meet The Orden in person. [he means it, with perhaps like the slightest teasing edge to his voice too, but only slightly!! he'll finally look at Hwi with the 2iq though.] Jun was very helpful back in South Sister. It was due to his and a few others' efforts that the town wasn't immediately consumed by a plague.

[sorry hwi did he not mention the plague thing? well it wasn't important at the time until now]

[ wow yes that is 100% the correct choice,

....he's lost ]

Orden? [ mouthing this to himself over here, feeling like he's missing some context. Seonho's talking about him like he's got some high-profile alter ego....

and now there's mention of a plague? and Jun had a hand in stopping it?? WHAT is going on, ]

Strange, that you left that part out of your explanation. [ smh why isn't he surprised... STARING AT SEONHO...

but his look is softer for Jun, who isn't an idiot. ]

But I'm not surprised to hear you are reliable, Jun.

[Poor Hwi ... he can recognize the expression of someone that's completely lost. It happens a lot around him, honestly. ]

Mm. I'm a Seal Knight of the Kronos Orden - a type of holy knight, essentially. Normally we keep our identities concealed like I did on the island, but it'd be too impractical in our current situation.

[It's hard to keep a secret identity when you only have one outfit and no powers to help disguise you. Also, it wouldn't be right to act as a representative of the Orden while he lacks their power.

He gives a wry smile ]

Thank you, Hwi. Though "plague" makes it sound worse than it was. It was just a malevolent entity that'd try to possess people. [just that] There were several besides myself that worked to contain it.

[....Nevermind he did the majority of the work, but he won't point that out because he's humble]

[yeah what did abel do huh besides draw minion memes

this is extremely funny because it will confuse Hwi more, and Seonho will help.]

Does that not sound far worse than a plague? [he's amused though] Though I suppose it's more accurate.

[look it's not relevant because seonho's not possessed, thankfully. or jun would have to kill him in the name of God]

Either way, it seems like we're in good hands, Hwi. We will do our best not to hold you back -- on this task and for those in the future.

[ sh-SHUT UP abel did lots of useful things like...

...

a-anyway, predictably, Hwi's pulling even MORE of a face because WHAT in the NAME OF ALL THINGS SACRED happened to you guys on this island?? he is Concerned... holy knight, creepy possessions and all that aside... ]

Once we find out who brought us here, I owe them a drink for saving you from that place. [ MALVEOLENT ENTITY plague possession....... god ok, ]

But Seonho is right, [ enjoy him saying those words they don't leave his lips often, ] we will do our best to hold our own. Maybe I will get the chance to earn my answer to that question, if I'm lucky. What do you think?

[Its ok he still loves and misses you dad even if you were useless.]

Perhaps, but I assure you, it's not. [Jun can destroy a malevolent entity. A plague? Uh yeah not so much. But there's no reason to get into it, since it's not a concern, so he'll leave it there]

Haha, I'll do my best to live up to your expectations. [No pressure, got it. ] And we'll see, Hwi.

[He says it in a slightly teasing manner. By now they've reached the blacksmith. There's pickaxes waiting for the two guys. Jun out of pure habit, falls immediately into boss mode despite being the youngest here] Grab what you need and lets head off then.

[look,,, when ur from the 1390s, plagues are a thing that happen all the time??? malevolent entities not so much!!

Seonho picks up his pickaxe, with much better grace than he's done the 10x times before on this quest,]

Are you sure you don't need Hwi to carry an extra for you?

[we're assigning that task to hwi because he's stupidly strong with his blacksmith arms]

[ Hwi shoots Seonho a look like "excuse u," but

he is picking up an extra... anyway...... but NOT BECAUSE SEONHO SAID IT he was going to do it anyway!!! ]

It's no trouble. It's best to be prepared, right?

[ he hefts one of them over his shoulder, letting the other dangle from his hand. alRIGHT, boys, we're equipped and ready to roll!! ]

Lead on, Jun. [ because apparently he is the Captain of this team. listen he's some kind of 'holy knight' and has the geo vision... it makes sense right? right! ]

[ 💧 ... ]

I'm sure. Do remember we have to haul the ore we find back too...

[So maybe don't bring the extra weight?? But whatever, he's not going to stop Hwi if he's insistent on it.

It's time to get going as it is.]

Alright. [He'll start heading to the gate, intent to lead the across the bridge]

I heard there was some ore spotted in the cliffs near the city. We should check there, I think.

[look at this boy u can fit so many pickaxes on him!!!

thankfully this group of intrepid explorers make it to the cliff without anything stupid or embarrassing happening... hallelujah... Making their way up the cliff isn't so bad either -- it reminds Seonho of hanging out in the mountains back home. He takes a moment to appreciate the view, before glancing around the area.]

Should we focus on one spot all together, or should we work separately?

[or maybe the normies should work together and let the geo vision user do his thing]

Jun, do you want to look around? Maybe you are able to tell where we should focus.

[ the trek is a bit nostalgic, isn't it? and the view is rather beautiful; there was no denying this world truly could be breathtaking despite how odd it was. Hwi is gently setting the extra pickaxe aside, affirming his grip on his own. ]

We can get started here for now.

[Jun gives a nod at Hwi's request, already using his Elemental sight to track any masses of Earth elemental. That should be a good indicator of ore. He doesn't narrate this, rather continuing to walk and sometimes changing his direction just slightly]

There's monsters in these parts, so we should stay close together.

[No one is getting eaten on his watch!! Eventually he'll stop, pointing out a cliffside that has bits of iron ore sticking out of it]

There.

[Seonho rolls up his sleeves and heads over to the location Jun's pointing out, trusting if not in Jun himself, then in Jun's clear priorities in getting this done, and doing it successfully. Sometimes, that's all a guy needs??

anyway this means Seonho doesn't strike up another attempt at conversation, instead turning his focus towards breaking these rocks with BRUTE STRENGTH, along with his BEST BUD HWI, while Jun takes the better, smarter route.

He might glance towards Hwi every now and then, frowning]

Try not to over-exert yourself, Hwi. We'll have our hands full just by carrying the ore back.

[who's gonna drag your unconscious body back to wagner?? not seonho!!! (yes seonho)]

[ see he knew Jun being here would be a boon!! this kid and his geo-vision are carrying this team to victory!!

so he wastes no time in getting started himself. nothing like a little manual labor with your bro's out on the mountaintop haha am i right guys ]

Your hands will only be full if you don't waste time, Seonho.

[ stop?? are you trying to goad him into slowing down so you mine more ore than him?? no, he isn't falling for it...

raising his voice a bit, for Jun: ]

How is it going over there?

[Jun doesn't partake in their banter, but there is a slight smile on his face as he listens in. It reminds him a little of his friend's bantering, so it's nice to hear.

He sets himself just far enough away so he doesn't worry about hitting Hwi and Seonho, but close enough so he can still hear and talk to them. He's focusing on the geo elemental like Zhongli taught him, loosening up the soil and rock around the ore before he conjures a solid rock to throw and knock the ore out. He's not quite as efficient as a seasoned Geo user, but he's clearly practiced fair deal.]

It's going fine! Are you two making progress?
