[ Aymeric joins! Of course with enough space between them because we can't be gay in a christian game. ]

This was a great addition... I commend Chinatsu-chan for proposing it.

[chevaliered]

[ this game is fake christianity. ]

Yeah, she did a good job. You have these back home, Mister Commander? [ make him stop. ]

[disestablishment]

Aye, we do. I've also signed to have one built in Ishgard's newly built housing district.

[ Workaholic that also wants to give people a chance to relax?? ]

[chevaliered]

[ hm? ]

Housing district?

They’re good. It’ll be a favourite visit point for anyone living there, or even just in the area. It tends to ramp up tourism.

[disestablishment]

Aye. 'Tis part of my city's restoration after the war. The project has progressed splendidly. The Firmament surpasses what I've envisioned... And to see it soon serve those whose homes were destroyed in the war effort along with adventures we plan to welcome after years of closed borders makes my heart swell.

[ With obviously much love here. ]

[chevaliered]

[ oh fuck i didn’t respond. ]

Closed borders? … Sounds like there’s a story there.

[disestablishment]

[ lost in the party games ]

For fear of heretics and Dravanian espionage. Little time did we have to facilitate tourism, what with the war effort... 'Twould not do Ishgard good to welcome guests during the war against the dragons. Unfortunately, the decree allowed nationalism's demons to fester. Prejudice, intolerance, and the like.

[ Massages... his temples. ]

[chevaliered]

[ save me. ]

.............

And now your dragon [ DRAGON ] problem is sorted, you have more time to take baths and get people to come and visit, take baths and maybe decide to buy property and stick around?

[disestablishment]

[ bathe! but twice!

he laughs a bit. ]

Unfortunately, Ishgard is far too young in her years as a republic for me to yet set down the mantle. There's still much work to be done and another battlefield waiting for us.

[ HM. ]

Nary a topic for the hot spring, is it... My apologies.

[chevaliered]

[ ALL THE BATHS. ]

... Eh, the hot spring is a place for any topic. Imagine being hit with a rough topic here, you'd be too relaxed to freak out about it.

[disestablishment]

I suppose...

It would only be fair to let you choose the next.

[chevaliered]

[ (hei voice) i am begging for sad crow stories ]

We never actually had hot springs where I was from. Not sure you really need a lot of hot springs when you're a port city, most people just swing by to visit the ocean, you know?

[disestablishment]

Aye, the people of Ishgard miss the waters, so now that we can travel I've heard of many that pay visit to La Noscea. The sea is vast and beautiful.

[ So. He gets it? ]

Is that what waits for you?

[chevaliered]

For me?

No, nothing like that. Jurai's not really my home anymore. I hadn't been back in years until recently. Probably won't go back there again either.

[disestablishment]

[ Tilts his head. ]

Then you've found elsewhere, I imagine. Or in other people.

[chevaliered]

For the moment.

There were a lot of things in Jurai that I lost, and some things I tried to change because of it. That... didn't work out in the way that I planned, and now I'm where I am now. It won't be permanent, but while I'm there I'll do what I can.

Or, that was the plan at least. Before I got dragged here.

[ ... he blinks. huh. ]

[disestablishment]

[ At least it isn't too specific? ]

... Work of the Prism, I presume.

[chevaliered]

[ sometimes you just can’t go home again ]

Naturally. What else?

[disestablishment]

I do not know of your circumstances, so I can't wish you a way to see your home as you wish it be...

[ And he doesn't want to make assumptions, he doesn't know what Crow feels, after all. ]

However, I can say that I hope you'll be at ease when you meet journey's end.

[chevaliered]

...

Who knows. Maybe. It might be time for a rest, when it comes to that.

[disestablishment]

Considering retirement?

[chevaliered]

Man, that'd be nice. Maybe I will.

[disestablishment]

[ He laughs. ]

We both should, some day.

[chevaliered]

I almost feel kinda mean saying it, but you seem kinda like a bit of a workaholic.

[disestablishment]

Always feel free to speak your mind, Crow.

[ But he does give him a wry smile. ]

... There's always work to be done when reforming a nation.
