Not everyone. Depending on their station, they could be addressed with higher reverence.

[ the Era of Nobles. ]

Such as royalty or a leader would be spoken to as Your Eminence or Your Grace.

[dms]

Huh... Do you know a lot of royals, then? Most people I know would never even dream of meeting someone like that, let alone actually speak to them.

[disestablishment]

[ A nod. ]

As representative of Ishgard, I do meet with the leaders of other city-states. I myself am a noble, though not from the founding four houses of Ishgard. House Borel falls under lesser nobility.

Not quite royalty, but you can say you've spoken to the voice of a nation.

[dms]

No way! That makes you a VIP, doesn't it? I feel like I'm talking to a celeb!

We need to get a selfie together!

[disestablishment]

I wouldn't go so far as to label me a celebrity. We do have idols and heroes on our star.

[ Uh. ]

What is a "selfie?"

[dms]

Hey, it counts for me! Meeting nobility isn't something that happens every day!

It's a picture you take of yourself - a selfie! Here, I'll show you. [ on his phone he pulls up a pic of himself with shale! ] Just like this, see? It's a fun way to remember when you meet people.

[disestablishment]

[ Ohhh. ]

A self-portrait of sorts. [ Tilts his head as he looks at the picture. ] Except without artist errors and exaggerations.

[dms]

Hahaha, you could say that! I have to support traditional artists, too, of course - but this is way faster, and easier to share with friends.

[disestablishment]

[ Well, Aymeric is for embracing new things, so. ]

A favorable memoir... Convenient and at the ready. 'Twould be a pleasure to take a selfie with you, Ser Kazunari.

[dms]

Yay~! Come on, scooch in or the camera won't catch both of us!

[ get cozy, aymerin! once you do, kazu snaps a couple of selfies and relaxes, scrolling through the shots slowly so they can both get a good look. ]

So which one's your fave?

[disestablishment]

[ He makes sure that he fits into frame, even if it means he has to be on his knees for it. It comes with a smile and all.

Uh. ]

They all look acceptable to me. I'll leave it to you to choose since with years of exposure you must have a fine eye.

[dms]

Haha, you got it!

[ watch him zoom through the app to add some cute stickers, with a little blue bird and some stars, and sends it over to aymeric in a quick text! ]

There you go! Instablam would be going nuts if they could see!

[disestablishment]

[ He's just ??? as Kazunari adds a bunch of stickers on it, then checks his phone. ]

The added decor is quite... Bubbly. [ But he doesn't dislike it? ] Is Instablam one of those "apps" on the phone?

[dms]

Cute, right?

It's an app, but I haven't seen it on the ones they gave us. I'd show you on my usual phone, but chances are it wouldn't work, anyway, since we don't have an internet connection here.

[disestablishment]

[ While his expression is the same, there is the air of confusion cause what the fuck is the internet. ]

You come from a curious and extraordinary world, Ser Kazunari.

[dms]

You think? I would've said the same for some of you. Like you guys that already have magic like this back home? Totally cool!

[disestablishment]

Aye... Magic. 'Tis different in my world, but similar when it comes to the control of the elements. Everything else is new to me as well.

[ Anyway.

Here is your herb tea.... It will be gross. ]

[dms]

Yeah, we don't have anything like that back home, except in stories. Just good ol' internet!

[ he takes a sip! and... tries not to grimace. ]

Tastes... healthy!

[disestablishment]

Would that I had some sugar to sweeten it, but mayhap it would taste worse.

[ He takes a sip too and blegh but he is good at not looking like he wants to die. ]

[dms]

Somehow I don't think sugar is the way to fix this one... I think you'd just need something to complement the herbs? Buuuuut I'm not much of a cook, so we'd need to ask someone else for tips.
