[Hijikata could shake Edmond's hand over being a master at making snap judgements about others, but for all he's concerned, he has his priorities in order where it really matters!]

Let's keep an eye out for suitable quests, then! You can reach me under network ID 'mayorinfan35'.

[He'll happily spell that out for him, too! That aside, his eyes light up when he spots a transportation option he hadn't considered ahead of them: One of those strange green pipes that appeared out of nowhere a few months ago. If this one leads to the city centre, it'll be as good as a teleport node!]

[sapphireknight]

[He does write the network ID down, making a small quizzical face at it before he pushes his device back into his pocket, and his attention goes to the green pipe at much the same time that his companion's does.

Though, he is not quite so eager to venture into it.]

Do you step into every stray portal and pipe that you cross paths with?

[The last time he stepped into a random pipe he ended up fighting several small, very aggressive reptiles.]

[mayoninofukucho]

I sure did when they first cropped up and we had to investigate and label them! But this one should already-- ah!

[The signpost is on the other side of the pipe, and it signals that it leads to Amberfall (the RNG likes Edmond!), which makes Hijikata grin again.]

I'd say this one's worth stepping into, wouldn't you say? If your home's in the direction of Sunwaning from wherever it spits us out, I'll walk you home.

[sapphireknight]

If?

[Edmond makes a face, but he supposes anything would be closer to home than where he is right now. He frowns for a moment then shakes his head, approaching the pipe alongside Hijikata.]

Very well, but there's really no need to accompany me home.

[mayoninofukucho]

I haven't taken this pipe before!

[And whoever labeled it just wrote down "Amberfall" without a street name or anything, so who knows where exactly it's going to dump them?]

And sure, suit yourself. Far be it from me to foist my company on anyone.

[He usually isn't this cheeky... something about Edmond's stuffiness brings out the shithead in him. You'd think he'd refrain, given how usually he is the victim of other people's bullshit, but apparently not!

When they enter the pipe, they experience the usual weird travel sensation before exiting on the other end (luckily, the pipe ends on street level rather than randomly jutting out of a tower or what-have-you). Hijikata takes a moment to orient himself.]

Ah! That's the library building over there. I hope you don't have too far to go from here?

[sapphireknight]

[It does occur to him when they 'land' at the other end of the pipe that that little trip really could have gone horribly wrong. Luckily it did not, they are both still in one piece and not falling from a terrible height...

Edmond clears his throat and brushes himself off to hide the buzzing of his nerves.]

Ah... Around half an hour from here.

[Still closer than he was? Maybe he can find some public transport that's going that way... But then again...]

The walk will do me good.

[mayoninofukucho]

Have a good night, then.

[If he really doesn't want to be escorted..! (Back home, Hijikata really will have to ask himself what made him want to poke and prod Edmond so badly. After all, it's not like he needs an escort either, and they're both policemen!) He gives him a casual little salute.]

I'll see you around!

[Will he, though, given how they managed to not cross paths until now, clearly assigned different duties at a time? But then again he did leave him his network ID! If Edmond ever does want to quest with a fellow summer power holder, Hijikata will be ready.]
