Magic Sword

Ethan Chapter 1

We're going to be traveling together for some time. Its probably best not to start off fighting, I suppose.

Sara: "Ethan, Ray. I look foward to traveling with you."

 Ethan: "Yes, me too!"

Ray: "Yes."

Three day later.

We set out as soon as possible to recover the sacred sword.

Sara: "Logres is to the south... But first we must head to the Elven Village, so we must travel in a southwest direction."

Ray: "That's out of our way, isnt it? How tiresome."

Ethan: "What are you talking about?"

Ray: "I hate tiresome things. Why couldnt the elf just come here?"

Ethan: "It's just a stlight detour."

Sara: "Elves dont usually leave their village. We have to go to him."

Ray: "If he wont leave the village, how is he going to travel with us?"

Sara: "...Erm."

Ray: "You're pretty clueless about such things, arent you?"

Sara: "Am...Am I?"

Ray: "This journey will be tiresome, but it also might prove to be interesting."

What does he mean by that?

Ethan: "Forget all that! Let's proceed to the Elven Village!"

So saying, Ethan extended his arm as if to escort me.

Sara: "U..uhm. What is this?"

Ethan: "The role of the man is to Escort the woman isnt that so? Come, wont you take my arm, Princess Sara?"

I understand that he doesnt mean to offend. He's just a very kind man. But... But...

Sara: "We're not going to a party, you know! I dont need an escort!"

Ethan: "But no matter the setting, the man should escort the woman." 

Sara: "Im fine!"

Ethan: "No, no, no... I will escort you."

Sara: "In what world does someone ask to be carried at the beginning of a journey!?"

Ethan: "None, I suppose. So I must start a trend."

His smiling face made my head hurt.

Ray: "Cease this foolery, and let's get started."

Ethan: "Wait, Ray. First I have to pick up Princess Sara..."

Sara: Just stop that!"

I turned my back on Ethan, and began walking ahead of them. With companions such as these, could this quest possibly be a success?
