When the great monoliths stopped their humming, Tsutsuminobuko found Runomi shivering in the sudden silence of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria. They didn't offer a comforting word, just a grin that never quite reached their strangely glowing eyes and a tap of their combat pole on the ground. A silent promise. Ever since, they have been an inseparable, if bewildering, pair. Tsutsuminobuko clears their path of magical predators with a joyful ferocity, humming off-key battle hymns. Runomi, in turn, makes sure their bizarre guardian remembers to eat and doesn't wander off chasing colorful lights. One is the shield; the other is the anchor holding it to the world.
