♛First Decree: Video {not in kimlasca anymore..}

[Hello Luceti! You might hear some frustrated murmurs of a girl who may or may not sound familiar before the screen opens up. Behind her are trees. You might notice that first—OR! The first thing you might notice is the bright gold/white wings on her back, or maybe it’s the twig she failed to find out of her curly golden hair, or maybe it’s the fact that her cat-green eyes look absolutely furious. She pauses, before she begins to speak, posture ramrod straight, lips pursed.]

I find myself in need of assistance, if you please. While I am not familiar with this sort of fontech, I know enough. To those that have successfully taken me away from my kingdom, listen very carefully.

[her lip curls slightly, a bit of that anger in her eyes slowly spreading to her otherwise regal tone of voice ]

I demand to know where I am, immediately. To those of you who are not involved in this ..this indecency [her cheeks color. This is wrong on so many levels. ] I request all the information you can offer me. [she raises her hand to try and reach back and touch what she knows is clearly a hurt back, but her shoulder lances with pain. What did her captors do to her? Dropping it at her side, she looks back at the screen, raising her chin. ]

You will be rewarded, I can promise you that. As for those of you who had the audacity to pull off this joke, take heed: [her voice rises]

How dare you carry out such a despicable act!. Anyone who considers taking away Kimlasca-Lanvaldear’s Princess in broad daylight without her consent is considered from this point an enemy of both herself and His Majesty, King Ingobert the Sixth. You have taken me from my Castle and my people, and I cannot forgive such injustice.

Once I return to my Father’s side, and I will return, you will be found, you will be judged, and you will be punished according to your actions.

[with one more scathing glare, the Princess shuts off the feed]

He'd probably just yell at us if we tried playing that with him. [Which is a shame, since Luke still kind of likes that game... Not that anyone KNOWS that. Nor does he want them to know. It's just. Something. He'd like to do again someday. Without his suggesting. Because that would be kiddish.]

Yes..[ she pauses, before blinking up at him]
Luke, if I may ask, how long have you been here?

Huh? Oh...

[... ... ... ...]

I haven't really... kept track. [But seeing how he was planning Xion's birthday just a few days ago, and he clearly remembers that... as well as the Halloween event...]

About... six months? But time here's really weird... According to this place, I've been here a little longer than a year. [...... Oh god that's so weird he never actually... thought of that before.]

Edited 2011-11-12 19:45 (UTC)

...A year. [ she looks stunned. she opens her mouth, then closes it, pursing her lips, before she manages to say with a brief lookover. ]

..You seem to have grown, even more since I last saw you.

...

You think so?

[omg omg omg DID HE GROW TALLER? 8DDDD He actually has grown!! ... About half an inch. Not that he's really noticed. BUT OMG IT'S REALLY NOTICEABLE?!?!?!]

[ OH LOOK NO THAT IS NOT WHAT WE MEANT SWEETIE BUT..yes. good lil replica. ;u; ]

I know so.

[... Now if only he can grow taller than Asch, then he'll be very happy. But right now he is happy with this, and he can't help grinning.]

Really?! I didn't think I'd ever grow! [What an ego boost. (yea)]

Now you're just being silly. You're not finished growing you realize? [she just laughs at him, nothing but amusement on her face. Luke's childlike enthusiasm..that passion for life he had--has..she missed it. She missed it so much.

Unbidden she can feel a lump form in her throat but she pushes it back with a warm smile. ]

Have you met some good people here?

[He just laughs quietly at that first part: he knows! He does! But one can't help developing a height complex when pretty much every male you know is taller than you are. Guy, Jade... Van. And thanks to Asch being here much longer than him, he's taller than him, too.

And at that next question, he can't help a slight bounce in his step.]

Yeah! There's so many people you need to meet, Natalia! Paprika, Yuri, Hiccup - he has a dragon, you know?

[And there's a small pause before the next name, which makes him look away juuust slightly and blush juuuuust a little.]

Xion, too.

[ she listens in mute wonder, walking next to him as she puts the names to memory only to hear that last name, and the slight blush on his face. she leans in to catch it, amusement creeping in her voice ]

Goodness! Are you ill, Luke? You're quite flushed all of a sudden..

[... Oh god he catches that amusement. HE KNOWS. HE'S HEARD IT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN TALKING ABOUT XION.

Luke leans away as a result, side stepping a little to try and get out of trolling range.]

N-No I'm not... I'm fine!

[ Nope! She just leans in after him, clasping her hands ]

Oh, but I simply must know! You won't leave me in the dark, will you?
[ not like i'm leaving you ]

It's nothing...

[Luke rolls his eyes up to the sky and leans his head away, face flushed over the attention. Come on, Luke, you can tell her! Natalia's asking, and she needs to know! She's practically family!]

Xion's, um...

[YOU CAN DO IT.

...

OR NOT.]

She's? [ she clasps her hands ]

... Wh-Why do you want to know, anyway? [GETTING THIS OFF OF HIMSELF, YES.]

Because I'm your childhood friend and I do believe I have a right to know who you're associated with, am I wrong?

No, you're right...

[He lets out a sigh and runs his hand through his hair. It's okay. It's okay! It's Natalia! She won't tease you! ... Much! Xion knew her too when she was here before! They're going to meet sooner or later! JUST SPIT IT OUT:]

She's my girlfriend. [He says so fast that the words seem to go together.]

[ Oh my...she had honestly expected it to be Tear and himself, but--he had been here for a while.

I'll have to meet her, She thinks primly. After all, Luke is her not!cousin, she'll have to see. >:( ]

Well that wasn't so hard! I do hope you don't make that face with her or she'll assume you're a tomato instead of a charming boyfriend!

[ she clasps her hands dreamily ]

Oh Luke, I'm so pleased for you! When do I get to meet her? I will, of course!

[Luke can't help pressing a hand to his face over all that. T-Tomato... Guh, Natalia.]

M-Maybe sometime soon, uh... [Well, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to tell her that she was here once. So...] She's... kind of interested in archery. I know she was really into it for a while.

Edited 2011-11-17 05:17 (UTC)

Then I will simply have to take her on as a student! What better a teacher than the Master of Lanvaldear style archery? [ her shaky mask is now with some sincere, goodnatured pride back in place, as she places her hands on her hips ]

Leave it to me!

[Her own enthusiasm makes him grin, that tomato blush on his face at least fading out a little. He's not really sure if Xion's still practicing archery, seeing how she has a new weapon... But he's sure that she'll appreciate the lessons.]

Natalia, thank you. I know you'll be a great teacher!

[By this point, the village is starting to come into view.]

Of course! This girl is important to you, I will give it complete effort! Oh my! Is that the village? [ she walks ahead a little, staring at him questioningly ]

It's not like home, is it..

[Luke looks ahead at the village, one hand going up to his hip as he walks.]

No... It's not like Auldrant at all. The fonons are different and everything... And Luceti itself is kind of like Engeve.

[He glances at her now.] I know it'll be tough... But there's a lot of us here already. [In fact, the only one who isn't here from their team is Guy.]

It is a village of people in need..[ and it's a village where all of you are. dead or alive..her duty (her choice) continues

Natalia smiles and clasps his hand, looking up with a smile.]

We've all faced tough things, have we not? We can do so again.
