[For all intents and purposes, Albert shouldn't be outside of the house. He especially shouldn't be doing any sort of work that will strain his neck. And yet, he's crouched over a flowerbed with a listless expression, pulling weeds. Oh, how the mighty have fallen?]

[Albert nods stiffly, his brow still raised at the other man. He coughs slightly before attempting to speak.]

...Bored?

[action]

[fortunefail]

Somewhat.

[He's not ashamed to admit it, either. Aside from the increase of kidnappings, it's just the same old routine these last few weeks.]

[Albert smirks for a moment before his lips dip back into frown.]

Find ... a hobby.

[fortunefail]

I would, but this place doesn't have too many options to choose from. Even training in the forest is becoming increasingly dangerous these days.

[chikaidestroyer]

[That's news to him.] Dangerous?

[fortunefail]

[Brains, Albert. Use them.]

What with all the kidnappings, I mean. It wouldn't be smart to go out there alone.

[chikaidestroyer]

[The look Albert gives Yuan is unreadable. That's obvious. The forests are no more dangerous than before with the Malnosso taking pairs. He wouldn't be surprised to see triple kidnappings in the future.] Can't stop kidnappings.

Even so, I'd imagine you're much safer in the village, as long as you stick to the more crowded areas.
