ok. we will. i'm invested too. it's not weird and morbid, right?

ylisse sounds really pretty... and different from boston. i'm a little embarrassed now. did it snow? what kind of animals were there? were people nice or mean and busy?

It's a little weird and morbid, but that's kind of who we are?

It snowed, yeah. All four seasons came on pretty strong, actually. Hot summers, cold winters, colourful springs, bright red autumns... it was paradisaical. Maybe that's just nostalgia talking, though.
I guess - in regards to what people were like - it depends on where we went? I travelled all over the country - most people made money through farming or crafts, so there were a lot of small, tight-knit villages filled with families and friends who would be super excited to have visitors, especially royalty like us. I experienced most of Ylisse how it was meant to be in the year or so we had after ending the war before I went to Nohr, and like, everyone was really kind and happy and calm and excited all at the same time. People liked sharing food with us and showing us their home town's specialty meal and just - stuff like that. It was nice.

But there were a lot of nobles in the Capital who read a lot of books and talked about posture and stuff like that. When I was a little kid, that was all I really saw? I got a lot of attitude because I always liked playing in the mud rather than studying and stuff. My parents were fine with it, but man, Aunt Maribelle.
She was super mad all the time because me and her kid would just wrestle and get all dirty trying to catch tadpoles and stuff in the lake behind the city.

Animals... I guess deer? Rabbits. Foxes. Dogs? Birds. Cats. Everything, really. I saw a whale once. That was pretty great.

true. we are weird and morbid.

maribelle sounds like a cow's name. the rest sounds amazing, though. no wonder you're so proud of your home world.

where the hel did you see a whale? was ylisstol by a coast?

She'd probably beat you up for saying that. With her parasol. She had a parasol? Like, all the time.

Yeah! Well, not really. Uh. Jeez, how do I summarize this.
This one guy was basically leading this entire conquest against the entire northern hemisphere? Sort of. He was fucking up the country my dad was from. Then he tried to fuck up Ylisse. Also, he was secretly a good guy? It's this whole thing.
This other other country was mad at him because they were secretly bad guys and Ylisse waged war against him to stop his garbage and that other other country gave us a bunch of their ships and we went to the docks to travel the ocean and stop his invasion and.

There was a whale.
Aaaat the docks.
Big. Pretty. I liked it.

what does she need a parasol for all the time?

politics sounds about annoying and screwed up as they are in my realms. fuck invasions?

i should try to talk to the whales at the aquarium.

Aesthetic?

Yeah, everything is hell and politics are terrible. You should run for Ambassadorship in Maurtia Falls. Just make a big, declarative statement that you're here to enforce lawless anarchy and then leave and go chill in your treehouse forever.
Can I come see the whales with you?

i can appreciate that. did you have to wear suspenders?

pretty sure lawless anarchy is already the state of MF. you guys should move to heropa. retire by the ocean and chill with whales.

yeah of course. you busy tomorrow? i'm not working at all anymore bc hades is still fucked up.

I wore a little suit with a cravat for a while?
It didn't really last. My dad gave me this trainee uniform everyone in his country wore when they just start to practice swordsmanship and I kind of cried when my mom made me take it off to wash it. After, like, a week.

We probably should. MF is a bit of a nightmare. I'm kind of attached to the apartment, though? And Luci's in the clocktower, I can't just leave her.
But yeah, sure, I'm free. I'm literally always free. I have so much money.

haha cute. what did it look like? not the suit the trainee uniform.

[he's picturing a karate outfit. adorable]

let's go to the aquarium tomorrow mr moneybags. we can do a donation to the otters exhibit. they put your names on some clamshells they stick on the wall if you do?

Kind of like a little karate outfit, I guess?

[ ding ding ding ]

But yeah, okay. That sounds fun! Let's do that. It's been a while since anyone's put my name on anything.
Maybe I'll make us lunch? We can have a picnic. In the aquarium. Would they allow that? I wouldn't have, like, seafood or anything, because that'd be kind of insensitive, but would they get angry if we set up camp in the sea tunnel thing?

cute 👍✨

let's find out.
