that icon is adorable!

[saviourking]

On the contrary, your honesty was refreshing.

I never would have guessed your opinions on some of our allies otherwise.

Thanks! She got a premium so I filled up also 1/2

[crimsonflower]

[OH NO WHAT DID SHE SAY!? HER ENTIRE REPUTATION... RUINED.]

2/2

[crimsonflower]

Doubtful that it could be the truth and not some silly delusion if I was so far gone.

[saviourking]

Perhaps.

[ But she seemed rather cognizant, flagrant disregard of weaponry aside. So... ]

I suppose the easiest way to know for certain would be to ask your opinion on those same topics now and compare them with your original answers. Should a few match, we can assume the same to be true for the rest.

[crimsonflower]

Very well. Feel free to begin your interrogation.

[She regrets this already.]

[saviourking]

Interrogation, really?

[ Meanwhile, his only major feeling is the pure and simple enjoyment one gleans from harmless fun. The type he rarely, if ever, gets to experience. Let alone with Edelgard of all people. ]

Fine.
We should start with a simple one. Who, in each of our former houses, would you consider the most and least fashionable?

[crimsonflower]

Most would either be Dorothea or Hilda. Least... I would venture to say Raphael, but he cares not for fashion so I believe that is unfair. Lorenz, however, cares so much and flounders so embarrassingly that he is by far the bottom of the barrel. That man never learned what a good hairstyle is, even after five years of grueling improvement. Better, yes, but still painful to look at.

[saviourking]

From what I recall, that aligns perfectly with your opinions last night. The wording may have varied but the spirit and choices remain the same. Dorothea, especially, was the recipient of a great deal of praise.

[ Unlike poor Lorenz. One of the few who fared... poorly when confronted with alcohol-induced sincerity.]

Would you still like to continue?

[crimsonflower]

I would insist. Especially because what I stated was less opinion and more fact.

[saviourking]

I will have to take your word for it.

[ Were it not for certain expectations and pure luck, his own sense of fashion would likely place him on the lower end of the scale. ]

During the evening, you were challenged to participate in a rather crude game. It involved choosing three people from amongst the other attendees: one to marry, one to kill, and one to lie with. Do you recall enough about who was present to make those same decisions now?

[ Instructions he never expected (nor desired) to repeat. But if it's subjectivity she's looking for... ]

[crimsonflower]

Oh... Wed, Bed, and Behead. Dorothea likes that game.

Honestly it is not a fair game for me to play considering at one point in my life I may have considered killing everyone except Hubert.

[saviourking]

The same could be said for more than just yourself.

[ To a lesser degree, maybe, but she is far from the only person who now shares celebrations and drinks alike with those who would once have been found on the other side of a battlefield. If history had gone another way, if bad decisions overruled common sense...

Well, then they would not be having this conversation at all. ]

From what I could tell, the game itself was all in good fun. Your answers included.

[crimsonflower]

Did my answers tickle your fancy?

[saviourking]

They were interesting, yes.

Then again, the same could be said of the entire event. I would never have predicted your involvement in those types of activities without seeing it first hand.

[crimsonflower]

Perhaps I should abstain from indulging in sweet Adrestian wine.

[saviourking]

[ Look he can only go so long without bringing sincerity into this. ]

Teasing aside, you need not feel any shame or concern for your behaviour. It was good to see you relaxed and I doubt anyone who remembers would feel differently.

[ Except Lorenz. ]

If you do not wish to partake again, I understand. I just hope embarrassment is not the cause.

[crimsonflower]

What were my answers for the game, by the by?

[saviourking]

As I'm certain you have already guessed, Hubert was among them. You named him first for Wed.

[ Considering Hubert's... devotion, he doubts anyone expected a different answer.]

Your other choices were less predictable.

[crimsonflower]

[Is he dragging this out to torture her? The fiend.]

Go on.

[saviourking]

I apologize, some are more challenging to remember than others. Behead, especially. You... had difficulty narrowing it down.

In the end, I believe your final answer ended up being a tie. Ferdinand, Felix, and one other who I've been unable to recall. If you ever settled on a single victim, it occurred after our paths separated.

[crimsonflower]

Oh, so I did not settle on anyone to bed, either? Very well.

Either way, perhaps it is best for you I avoid the wine considering this conversation started with the fact I threw a sword at you.

[saviourking]

A fair point. Still, you may wish to know I was not the original target for your projectile. Merely an unlucky bystander caught in the middle.

And you did select a third answer, in-between deciding who most deserved your wrath.

[ Two not unrelated events, actually. ]

[crimsonflower]

Would you please tell me who it was so that I may clear the air with that person?

[saviourking]

I'm not certain you will still wish to do so, considering, but it was Sylvain.

[crimsonflower]

[GOOD HEAVENS THAT WAS NOT THE ANSWER SHE HAD ANTICIPATED.]

Does he remember I said that?

[If she were a praying woman now would be the time, but she is not.]
