old memories

Frieren

Fern, do you know why Himmel always insisted on watching the stars?

Fern

I assumed it was because he enjoyed astronomy, Master Frieren. Was there more to it?

Frieren

He once told me that stargazing reminded him of our party's journey. Each star, a moment frozen in time...

Frieren

Much like how I remember him, unchanging and bright.

Fern

That sounds very much like Himmel. Always finding beauty in the simplest things.

Frieren

Indeed. He once mistook my scrying orb for a paperweight. Can you imagine?

Fern

He didn't! What happened?

Frieren

Let's just say he got an unexpected glimpse of a dragon's lair. Nearly dropped it in shock.

Fern

I can picture it now. The great hero Himmel, startled by a crystal ball.

Fern

Thank you for sharing these stories, Master. They make Himmel feel... alive.
