[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Next part of the scene. Still setting things up for potential future events for the people involved here, whether they are known or not, for sure, folks. Hope you continue reading on here, of course.

Tiziano asked, "So what do you plan to do next, strangers?"

"Until we can find a way to force them to leave this world alone, and until we can find a way back home to our home dimension, our home world, and our homeland, we're likely stuck on your world, unfortunately. We may have to spend the rest of our respective lives, to be completely honest with you all here, on this particular world, come to think of it. Do you know any place at all where we might possibly be able to hide out as needed for at least the time being?" asked the oldest swordsman now present, who soon introduced himself as Silvio Korivi. He was also the swordsman who had originally asked Aphyne if she was a member of the Turtle Pilgrim Clan, in fact.

Silvio Korivi was about an inch or two taller than Remke, and about 185 pounds, with reddish-brown hair and bluish-green eyes, and he appeared to be about five years or so older than Remke, even though he was actually about Hyang-nam's age, more or less. His fellow swordsman appeared about the same age as he did, but not quite as old as Silvio did.

The five Cupids conversed briefly with each other in Slaabinese, not far from both women and the eight surviving fighters with them now, before Seung-gwan eventually said, "I believe I know just the place where you might just be able to hide out for a while easily enough, when and if needed. But it probably would be best for us to wait until nightfall around here for safety's sake, strangers. In the meantime, you'll need to find a way to disguise yourselves, it seems to me, for some reason here. Come with me, all of you. Orlona and Aphyne, you two should probably stick closer to the three female fighters here, as well. Remke, you and the others follow along with me as well, come to think of it."

Twenty minutes of walking and sneaking around and all later, Seung-gwan brought everyone to a certain building about a half-mile or so away from where The Noodle Castle had just been prior to the attack there, more or less. After talking briefly with someone at its main doorway, he soon escorted his fourteen companions into said building, and down to a specific area of its basement all by himself.

When they got there, Quintino asked, "Where are we, Seung-gwan?"

"We are in the residence of one of my many cousins' families, and they will not say anything about these strangers. They are well-acquainted with the unusual and the strange and the unexpected. They are aware of things that many other people are not aware of, and not just on this planet of ours, in fact. I can say no more about such things right now, however, in relation to them, for various reasons I'm not currently at liberty to discuss with most others," said Seung-gwan, with a bit of a regret then on his face here, for he didn't often like to keep certain things secret in his life, for sure.

"Can they be trusted to keep our presences and existences here secret, then, Houng-chisuki?" asked one of the female fighters. Chisuki was a term used in a similar sense of formal address to the Japanese use of san for many people who they knew or encountered in their lives, but slightly less formal than that. It wasn't a term that was completely informal, but it was slightly less formal than the similar -san address in Japanese might normally be considered as, to be sure.

"They will not breathe even a single word of either, or at least not vocally, to others who do not need to know of you all, if and whenever they don't absolutely have to and can possibly avoid doing so, most definitely."

Two hours later, after a rather interesting and rather considerable discussion and some rather-unexpected happenings in that basement, Seung-gwan, his teammates, and both women left the strangers alone in that basement with each other, and departed the building they'd come to hours before with them. That done, the seven Slaabovians went on their ways, with the two women eventually parting from the five men after they escorted the women to their homes elsewhere in Folliston. Once the women were away from them, the men went back to the dormitory complex where most of the Cupids who were still single resided, per team rules. There were a few yet-unmarried Cupids who didn't live in said complex, for various reasons, but most single players on the Cupids did so, for multiple reasons.

Two more parts to this scene before we get back to the games here, I think. I don't know what's going to happen yet either on the field for the SRL's teams or not, of course, but hopefully this dynasty will be a good one to work with, et cetera, in any case. Will update the next few posts here as soon as I can, and then go from there as best as I can, as well. CD out.
