Chimper #251
Kichijuurou fought Ameria three times before learning their name. The first was a blur of steel on the slick stone steps leading from the fishing docks to the upper plaza. The second was a silent, grim affair in the mist near the great stone temple. The third, however, was different. Ambushed by mercenaries near the great fish statue, they found themselves fighting back-to-back. Kichijuurou, using a forgotten technique with their ancient sabre, created an opening for Ameria to escape. Ameria didn't take it. They stayed. Since that day, they explore the riverlands together, no longer adversaries but partners. The expressive look Kichijuurou wears is one they learned from Ameria, a language beyond words.
