[brynwieldr]

And you do?

[tacomeme]

Heh, hardly. But I'm not as invested in this as he is. He said outright he won't stop. Why should he, he's my shinki.

[brynwieldr]

Oh gods, we're dropping matches onto a pile of kindling by letting you two do this, aren't we?

[tacomeme]

H-hey, I can keep my tongue if I have to!

[brynwieldr]

No, you can't.

[tacomeme]

I AM prince you know, I had to do all the meet and greets and stuffy parties just like you did.

[... never mind that Nohrian versions of such things were MUCH more risky. And Mikoto let him get away with just about anything]

[brynwieldr]

And I'm sure Sumeragi and Mikoto threatened you with punishment if you mouthed off.

[Callin' out you bro.]

[tacomeme]

...well, I mean... I wouldn't know with Father.

[He was too small to go to such things when he was still alive- but that it self is telling on how he wasn't expected to know manners yet.]

But Mother certainly gave me earfuls if I was rude.

[...Takumi, there are *degrees* you know]

[brynwieldr]

The one time I let my mouth get the better of me as a child, I was sent to bed without supper and denied breakfast. None of the servants dared to actually hit me like I imagine they were instructed to, but only because I could curse them.

[tacomeme]

[He doesn't respond right away, taking that in]

... Mother was... very softhearted. Maybe not always to my benefit.

[brynwieldr]

But she loved you.

[That much is obvious.]

And she meant well.

[tacomeme]

Oh, definitely. I'd never doubt that.

Just... I'm glad I have people around to remind me that the world wasn't just what I grew up with. Don't worry too much- I'll be careful.

[brynwieldr]

Please be careful. I don't want to have to explain to Sakura why I let her idiot older brother get himself smote by one of the old gods for mouthing off.

[tacomeme]

I wouldn't want her to take out her revenge on you.

...don't tell her anything unless something goes wrong, please?

[brynwieldr]

I won't. I promise. And if something does go wrong, I'll do my best to be there for her.

[tacomeme]

Even if you're not her husband like the Leo I knew, I know you would.

[He already had the whole 'I'LL NEVER TRUST YOU WITH MY SISTER' fight back home- it's long past and done with even if this isn't the same Leo. Leo is Leo]

[brynwieldr]

....you know, I forgot about that.

[Distraction?]

[tacomeme]

[He snorts with laughter]

Well, I guess it'd be a damper on your love life if you kept thinking about your not-wife.

[brynwieldr]

[Laughing:]

Look, Aymeric is a wonderful man who I love dearly and who loves me back. I can't think about alternate universes where I'm married to my best friend's sister!

[tacomeme]

It would probably douse any romantic tension.

[He's not Niles- he's not going to OVERTLY mention your possible sex life Leo]

[brynwieldr]

There's only tension if we're both denying we're in love.

[Ever since saying it, he keeps wanting to say it. He's a sap.]

[tacomeme]

Ugh, that sappy tone of yours is embarrassing.

[brynwieldr]

[Leo just laughs.]

I'm not sorry. I'm happy.

[tacomeme]

... I'm glad.

[And he sounds legitimately earnest in his happiness for his friend]

We're going to arrive soon, so I'll let you know when it's over. I doubt it'll take long, either way.
