[ In this small little peek of Aymeric under the sheets, Crow can see that he's fine and himself again.

He looks down at the plush. What kind is it? ]

Thank you?

[chevaliered]

[ it's

a little

dragon ]

You're welcome.

[disestablishment]

... Is this a pig?

[chevaliered]

I’m pretty sure those are horns and wings. I’ve never seen a pig with those.

[disestablishment]

I suppose that matters little.

What were you doing here, Crow?

[chevaliered]

Just relaxing, honestly.

[ there's a strange glitter around his cheekbones. it's probably fine. ]

You kinda feel like that's what you should be doing when you come in here, yeah?

[disestablishment]

That is the thought that passes when one sees duvets and pillows, aye.

[ He watches the glitter?? Squints at it? ]

... But I've never seen it arranged like a den. Have you?

[chevaliered]

[ it's more like little crystals! ]

Normally on a smaller scale? Like... you'd prop some chairs together and make a small version of it. Never seen it done as a whole room like this before.

[disestablishment]

[ Does crow need a polish. ]

Like a secret space, except it's far from discreet.

[chevaliered]

[ non, he sparkles like a lovely gem anyway. ]

Yeah. It's more for kids, shockingly. I guess they like the cosiness of it, or that it feels private and secret.

[disestablishment]

[ crow... is a gay quartz? ]

I can see the appeal... I would have loved having a "secret" space as a child. Creating a fortress of pillows sounds malms more enjoyable than etiquette lessons.

[chevaliered]

[ yeah sure he’s a gay quartz, you solved it. ]

Oh man you had to deal with etiquette lessons? I’ve heard that’s a totally noble kid thing to go through if you’re from one of the big houses back home.

[disestablishment]

It is, but I come from a lesser house. My parents had said 'tis more for impressing adults rather than making friends.

Children cared little for decorum, after all. [ ... ] Some of that childish wonder carries on to adulthood for a few.

[chevaliered]

Eh, it should carry through in more. You don't have to turn totally boring the second you hit 35.

[disestablishment]

Nay, I believe that we should have personal interests for the sake of enjoying them.

I was thinking of a noble in my generation who decided to abandon the usual responsibilities of nobility to pursue his passion for engineering. ‘Twas bold of him, but he is a genius.

[chevaliered]

Yeah?

Sounds like my friend Angie. She’s all set to inherit the Rogner Marquisdom at some point, but honestly I could see her just leaving it in her Uncle’s hands. She’s not really the politics and taxes type, more of the punch-it-until-it-stops-moving and checking out girls type. Pretty sure she took off after graduating to go on a training tour instead of going back home to learn how to lead.

[disestablishment]

[ He laughs a bit. ]

Mayhap she and Stephanivien would get along, but I believe he's nearly obsessed with innovations for technology-assisted soldiers. Bright man, though his head is oft afloat in the clouds. Bless his heart... Despite being a noble, he is one open to the common folk walking at the same gait as nobility, and provided them firearms.

This caused... Problems. Of course accusations for insurrection. [ ... ] Bright man, truly.

[chevaliered]

...





Yeah, they'd probably get on really well. Angie'd rather learn more martial arts and pick up chicks than do anything noble related. Which is why I think she'd make an excellent head of the family, honestly.

People who want power tend to abuse it when they get it.

[disestablishment]

[ SOMETIMES! PROBLEMS! ]

Certainly. [ He laughs. ] Has she yet settled? Or interested in another lovely women?

[chevaliered]

[ hmmm. ]

She’s only 21, she’s got ages. But I’m pretty sure she has a torch the size of Thors that she’s holding for our friend Towa.

[disestablishment]

Ah... To pine after a friend.

[ Aymeric nods, approving and understanding. ]

What of yourself?

[chevaliered]

Honestly, at this point I think she should just tell her. Towa’s level headed, and not stupid. She probably knows. Either they stay stuck in a weird limbo, or they talk it out, figure it out and go from there. They’re both smart ladies who value their friendship — it’s not like they’d abandon each other because of one-sided feelings if that’s what it is.

[ take notes, aymeric. ]

… Did you just try to ask me about my love life, Aymeric? What about yours?

[disestablishment]

Wise words.

[ He believes them wholeheartedly. Good advice. ]

I asked the question first, Young Master Crow.

[chevaliered]

My love life is as mysterious and enigmatic as I am.

[disestablishment]

Pining over a friend, then.
