Dila, dressed as usual in her royal-esque gown and straw hat, strolled over with a casual sway. While she has had a round two juice cup in hand, she stopped in front of him.

Sarios looked up, catching his breath. "You can call me Sarios, actually. No need for the 'hero' thing—at least."
Dila blinked, deadpan. "...Yeah, okay."
Then she sat beside him, crossing her legs in a very un-princess-like fashion. "Sarios, can I ask something weird?"
"Sure," he said, tilting his head.
"I wanna know my real full stats."
Sarios paused, blinking. "Huh? Stats?"
