He entered the city of Era, the midday sun right on top of his head. He finally sat down as he found a wooden bench under the shade of a tree. "Ughh..." he moaned slightly as he was very exhausted from the journey. The violet eyes of his scanned the area, no bustling activity seemed to be going on, quite a dull day. He grabbed his bagsack and opened it, reaching his hand into it for a journal, the one he would publish soon. Throughout the years he had been seeking the truth of many rumours and mysteries. He loves ublocking them and he could not rest well when his curiosity overwhelms him. He flipped through the pages, a slight grin stretches across his face as he remembered the details of his adventures.

"I am sorry, I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings." the adventurer said while scratching his head in a motion similar to that of anime characters. Hiketsu had always been the laid back, yet distant type, his personality often coming off as distant and cold, which meant that bumping into someone wouldn't turn out to be an ideal social context, but perhaps it could lead to something positive.

He closed his journal and placed it benesth his hands on his laps, his eyes scanned the man, a fit person, judging by the sharp jawline, someone from Joyan perhaps judging by the outfit and the hairstyle. Sage also admired the charming blue eyes the stranger had. He then noticed that the man was also carrying a newspaper, "Oh is that the latest version? Anything new happening in Fiore? It had been months since I've been here." he said with a nice calming voice of his. He was indeed curious of what was new in Fiore, as he left for quite a long time.

Admiring this new acquaintance in silence didn't last long, as the boy - possibly a bit younger than the adventurer - asked about Hiketsu's newspaper. There were no interesting articles in it, except for a few details regarding the on-going war. "I believe this is indeed the latest version, I didn't really bother checking when I picked it up on the way here. It provides basic information on the on-going war around Fiore, small details that most people know by now." said Hiketsu, a bit anxious due to the whole dialogue. Those were the most sentences he said to anyone ever since he arrived in Era, talking without pause being a sign of that. "You said it's been months since you've been here, would you mind telling me where you come from?" Hiketsu asked, intending to find out if this person was a foreigner too.

Sage felt a bit disappointed that there was no progress of the on going war. He had heard news about it from outside the borders. "I see..." he replied shortly, as if he wondered to a distant land for a short amount of time. An interested smile appeared on the Archmagus face as he was questioned about who he was. "I'm from Fiore, but I head out to other countries to seek out for knowledge and adventure." he answered honestly.
He then looked up to catch the man's beautiful blue eyes, "By the way I'm Sage, what's your name?" he introduced himself and wanting to know the man's name. If he could he wanted to ask the man out right there but he didn't want to rush thinga much.

"The name is Hiketsu, but you may call me Tsu if that's easier to remember." Hiketsu replied, as Sage introduced himself. "I am a foreigner from the land of Joya, in search of a new life. I apologise if my Fiorean language is hard to understand. I am still learning" he added as clarification for the weird name and maybe not that noticeable accent. At this point, the conversation was clearly becoming more than the short talk Hiketsu preferred to have with random strangers.

Sage would then look at the sky, it was around noon, he had just arrived from his travel and he felt a little bit hungry... He really wanted to ask Tsu out, but he also didn't want to make it awkward for him. Sage turned so that his face was fully visible to Hiketsu, "Say.. Tsu... Do you have any plans for the day?..." he asked, with a slow cautious tone as if he was afraid of letting the words out. He wanted to ask Tsu out and maybe talk more, he wanted to know more about this man. Although he had no experiences whatsoever in the world of dating that was why he was a bit scared, just a little bit.

This being said, when Sage asked if Hiketsu had any plans for the day, the first impulse was a defensive one. "Yeah, umm, I have some things to do here and there", he replied to Sage's question, trying to avoid what he felt might come next. It wasn't that he did not want to hang out, nor did he had anything better to do, but he wasn't feeling comfortable spending time with a stranger, especially one who seemed somewhat direct.

Something then clicked in his mind, it was a spell, someone conjured it somewhere inside the town, and he felt uneasy about it, he felt like it was the doing of some criminals. One thing was on his mind. A jailbreak. Then BOOM a sudden explosion occured, it could be heard from the prison of era. The sky was then fully covered by dark clouds and strong winds started to pick up, "We must hurry to stop them!" Sage exclaimed as he saddled his things up and ready to go towards where the explosion came from, he then turned and looked at Hiketsu, "I could use a hand," he said with a sudden grin and spark in his eyes. Hiketsu looked like someone who would battle for what was right and Sage didn't want bad guys to escape from prison and cause havoc to the public.

Briefly turning his attention back to Sage, to check on the boy's reaction, Hiketsu heard him exclaiming that they must hurry and stop them. First thought Hiketsu had at that moment was "stop who?", the whole situation being unknown to them. They were no Rune Knights and the Crown had enough employees to deal with whatever was going on at the Dungeon. Sage went as far as saying that he could use a hand, but Hiketsu was no hand - he was just a man whose free day was ruined by an unexpected event. There was no intention to provide Sage with his assistance, but for whatever reason, while his brain was saying no, his lips said "Okay."
Hiketsu had no idea why he agreed, it was irrational for them to involve, but it couldn't be helped. As he started walking towards the location, right before changing up the pace, he turned to Sage and added one last thing. "I get to kill whoever I want."

The last line Hiketsu added put on an excited grin on Sage. He liked the spirit and passion the man gave out. He wondered if he would create a certain connection with the man or not. Nonetheless he was very excited to see what their chemistry would turn out into. He walked on along with Hiketsu towards the direction where they heard the explosion. The first day of him being back in Fiore was already interesting, he couldn't wait to see what the future holds for him. Both of them head towards the era dungeon. What would they encounter and how would they face it?
