Rief's Interview
Okay, Rief, you're up next.
Ah, is it my turn to get interviewed? I shall do my best.
Question one: Why the hell am I doing this?
Hmm. Let me see. You are doing this as a series of Adept interviews on
this website known as The Adepts of Weyard, I believe?
Wow, was that it? I had no idea. Thank you so much.
Hmm, I sense sarcasm in your tone.
Question two: Why are you so boring and nerdy?
Sigh. Yes. Everyone seems to think that.
I would almost call you a mini Kraden, but that's insulting to
Kraden.
*adjusts glasses* I have trained under Master Kraden after all, so it's
not so strange.
Question three: Why can't we play as your sister instead?
Er, well, that would be because my sister did not travel with us.
And that's a crying shame, she was a much cooler character.
Sorry, there is nothing I can do about it.
Man... why can't we have Golden Sun 4 already?
Are you going to turn every interview into complaining about the lack of
Golden Sun 4?
It's been almost a decade! A decade!
Ah yes. About nine years now. Quite the long time indeed.
And all I can do is wait.
Hopefully, someday...
Question four: So why are you hiding the identity of your father?
I am?
Of course you are.
Er. I cannot disclose the identity of my father because reasons.
It's totally Kraden, isn't it?
Excuse me?!
How else could Mia have spawned some boring, nerdy Kraden wannabe?!
Can you come up with other adjectives besides boring and nerdy?
Hell no, you boring nerd.
I see. How can I make people see me as anything other than a boring nerd?
Get a personality.
Sure. I'll just join the queue.
Of course, a Golden Sun character with character development is an
anomaly to begin with, but gosh. I think the only one worse off than you is
Himi.
I got a fair amount more screentime than her.
Everyone did, didn't they? Question five: How come it took you so
damn long to remember your own sister?
I am thoroughly ashamed of myself.
Damn right, you should be, she could have been eaten by eclipse
monsters!
Yes. I am thoroughly repenting for my thoughtlessness.
And who ever knows where she went off to. Maybe we'll never know...
no, I can't lose hope!
I would certainly like to know too.
Question six: What are your thoughts on your sister falling for a man
over a hundred years old?
You know... I hear he doesn't look that old.
Well, no, he wouldn't.
And anyway, I'm not concerned about who my sister falls for. It's her
choice.
Kinda odd to be dating a man her mother traveled with, to be honest.
You think so? I wonder what my mother would think.
Question seven: Did it honestly not bother you that Mercury
Lighthouse and Imil were in the eclipse?
They were?
.............
Oh. Oh yes, of course they were. I think.
Question eight: Do you often get mistaken for a girl?
Um... I don't like to talk about that...
So that's a yes, then.
Sigh. Then, yes. It is rather embarrassing. I wonder why.
Eh, you're still young. But that robe... are you aware it looks like
a dress from the back?
It... it does?
It certainly does.
I see. I was unaware. I shall have to seek out some new attire in that
case.
Question nine: When did you start studying under Kraden?
Hmm. I was quite young. Very young indeed.
I see... I wonder how that even happened. Did Kraden just randomly
show up in Imil one day? Was Mia seized by the desire to have her children
become scholars? I wonder...
I guess?
It's so weird that Mia never introduced you to Isaac, Garet, Ivan and
their kids.
Yes, well, she never really leaves Imil.
So it's their fault for not visiting?
I suppose you could say that.
Poor Mia. At least she has Kraden.
Uhh... you aren't serious, are you?
If Camelot isn't gonna tell us anything, I'm free to come up with
wild crack theories.
Oh boy.
Question ten: Have you ever seen your mother doing questionable
things with snowmen?
I'm not sure what you mean by questionable.
What an innocent young thing you are...
Anyway, my mother is not a child so of course she doesn't go playing in
the snow.
Playing. That's cute.
What in the world are you even trying to suggest?
I wonder. Oh hey, we reached the end, yay! Now what does everyone
have to say about Rief? Maybe they can come up with something other than
'boring nerd'.
Hmm. I guess he was
kinda useful until we got Amiti? Maybe?
Smart kid.
Eh. He's alright, I
guess. I don't get the whole books thing though.
Tret said we were
related, huh. Hmm...
Hmm, I can't think of
anything to say, but he too was a valued travelling companion.
What is it with
being smart and having glasses? Is being smart bad for your eyesight?
Rief is Rief.
Hmm, we never did
visit Mia, did we? I hope she isn't mad.
I never thought Mia
would have Kraden wannabes for kids.
Rief is a fine and
promising young student.
I am disgusted.
