[ ah - her expression changes to one of understanding, and she nods, smiling a little. ]

I see. That's pretty cool of you. Am I allowed to ask what they are? You've got me curious now.

[recrowns]

[cool? there's a bit of a laugh at that - he just thinks that it's the type of person he is.]

Mm, they mostly relate to my country.... I'd like to see it strong and fortified, so that the people can live peacefully without fear of harm.

But they'll have to learn to protect themselves, and their leaders will need to learn how to shelter them - otherwise there's no point. Complacency will just return it all to ruin.

[bisouled]

[ no, won is cool. she's decided it. ]

Your country? So you're involved in politics, then? [ Fiora considers this for a moment before nodding. ] That makes sense. I can picture it.

[ he totally has that aura, when she looks back on their other conversations. ]

I agree with you, though. That's a good reason not to have a wish.

[recrowns]

Ah - no, I'm a simple merchant. Though I have noble blood, so I suppose I am rather invested in how things proceed. I'm still more interested in the common people...

[but the idea of being pictured as someone in politics makes him laugh. most people think it's hard to imagine with him, he wasn't expecting that]

I'm glad you think so, though. I'm a little relieved, to not have any motivation to participate in their competition.

[bisouled]

Really? And I was so sure...

[ it's fine, he's still cool. ]

Well, there's still the matter of protecting your memories - and your country, too, if what they said is the truth. Maybe you don't want a wish, but you must care about remembering things.

[recrowns]

Mm, I do. There are memories that I treasure, and I would like to avoid losing them.

However, once we solve all this, they should all be returned to me, no? So I'd like to stabilize the nova, but whether or not I generate the greatest number in my effort to do so doesn't actually matter to me. I hope to contribute.... but care little for rankings.

[bisouled]

In other words, you're expecting the rest of us to pull your weight?

[ it's said somewhat teasingly. ]

[recrowns]

Precisely so!

[no

he laughs, shaking his head]

Fufu, just kidding. But until we know ways to generate large amounts of nova without killing another person, we should perhaps be wary of anyone who says they care very much about the competition.

[bisouled]

Hee hee. Definitely. I mean, it's drawn to strong emotions, right? We should all be doing really fun things, not hurting each other.

[recrowns]

Really fun things....

Such as?

[bisouled]

Like... throwing a party! Or having a beach day, or a big potluck. Maybe we can do one of those giant tug-of-war battles? Although whoever got Chiron on their team would probably win right then and there.

[ hire fiora to schedule field day at school. ]

[recrowns]

[sfldsf there's a laugh at that]

Maybe you can collaborate with Claude for our next feast.

[bisouled]

Oh, yeah! I couldn't go to that, since I don't need food anymore. I need to make up for missing out.

[recrowns]

Well, you have great ideas for activities in place of eating.

There was dancing as well, if you're interested in that.

[bisouled]

Dancing? Hmm... You know, I've never really tried it. But at this point -- I think I'd look a bit silly, prancing around in this body.

[ she looks sheepish. ]

Promise not to laugh.

[recrowns]

I promise.

[though...]

Would you care to try now? I'd been thinking I'd like to practice the steps I learned at the party.

[bisouled]

R-right now?

[ she's a little taken aback... but it's fine. Maybe it's a good idea - it'll help get her mind off of the trial. After a moment of surprise, she shrugs, a bit shyly. ]

Well, okay... If you're sure. I'll try not to step on your toes.

[ she's heavy and has permanent heels now... ]

[recrowns]

[he offers a smile at that and puts down the food that he was holding, moving to offer a hand out to her]

Mm, I'm sure.

I'll be in your care just as much as you're in mine - if you don't mind me leading.

[bisouled]

[ a small laugh. ] What a gentleman. The other boys I know could learn a thing or two from you.

[ she takes his hand! hers is cold and hard - but he said he wouldn't tease her. ]

[recrowns]

[he won't! rather, he just seems to accept the hand in hers and places his hand on her upper back respectfully like a gentleman indeed]

Really? What a compliment.

I don't know many other boys my age - but I'd hope they know how to treat ladies well.

[bisouled]

Oh, they're awful. My two best friends are boys, and they're hopeless. One of them's just got meat for brains, and the other's a sweetheart, but he can't read the mood one bit.

[ hmmm. she tries not to get embarrassed about this, even though mentioning Shulk makes her think about him. Why isn't he suave like this?! Regardless, Fiora follows suit, hesitantly putting her other hand on his shoulder. ]

Er... Like this?

[recrowns]

[soo-won being suave.... end me

anyway soo-won's going to manage a smile at that, neat and encouraging - ]

Now if you could move your right foot back, and then follow my steps after that. We can start slow.

[though he will then try to guide her through a basic waltz based on how he'd seen others dancing!]

[bisouled]

[ unfortunately, it's the truth....... ]

This isn't much like the dancing I'm used to!

[ they probably have some kind of super embarrassing folk dance. either way, definitely not waltzing. But Fiora follows his instructions well enough - she's a quick learner, and coordinated on top of that. ]

[recrowns]

[there's just a bit of a laugh]

I felt the same - but it looked fun! So I wanted to learn it.

You're keeping up well.

[bisouled]

Hehe. I'm good at learning physical stuff like this. If it wasn't for my big brother, I might have ended up being a soldier.

[ obviously, that is further off the table than it's ever been, but! her tone is light regardless. ]

He got hurt in a big battle a few years back, so I had to take care of him while he was recovering. Honestly, though, I'd rather be cooking than fighting, so that's fine with me.
