✨👑KING JJ👑✨

[underwhelms]

then why were you so startled by me?

[baguablade]

Because you weren't Percival.
But there was nothing romantic!

[underwhelms]

that's too bad i think you'd make a cute couple
not that i can even imagine percival in a relationship
but maybe... that's what he needs!
a little bit of love to soften him up

[baguablade]

He's already plenty soft under the grumpy shell.

[ And if he ignores the rest, surely JJ will drop it, right? RIGHT? ]

[underwhelms]

is that right?
i'll have to take your word for it
since you know him better than i do 😉

[baguablade]

I don't, really! I've hardly known much longer than you at all.
We may be part of the same crew, but I'd just joined it before our world was swallowed by the Storm.
And even then, we barely spoke!

[underwhelms]

still it makes a difference when you're surrounded by the unfamiliar to have someone who has the same home as you did
it's fun to be able to make cultural references that people actually understand

[baguablade]

We're from completely different kingdoms, though.
And he's a knight, and I'm a soldier. We have very different philosophies...

[underwhelms]

i know i would love to have someone to talk to who can spot the difference between a lutz and a loop
or someone that speaks the same language
actually there are a few french speakers around but their dialect is different
it's like trying to talk to molière!
(he's been dead for like 500 years)

[baguablade]

You do have a point... And I shouldn't take it for granted.
But you know, we have new friends to make, too.
And I'd be honored if you'd teach me to spot the difference between a lutz and a loop
so that I could talk about it with you!

[underwhelms]

cain you already dedicate so much time to me 😊

[ and JJ LOVES IT ]

[baguablade]

Of course, I'm your knight! And your friend!
I'd be remiss if I didn't!

[underwhelms]

well if you really want

[ wait a second, hadn't they been talking about cain before this?

damn, jj is too good at bulldozing the conversation toward himself ]

you should tell me about your hobbies from home too

[baguablade]

[ Damnit JJ, why couldn't you just take the subject change! ]

Hobbies, huh...
I guess I read a lot? And napped! Our kingdom's primal beast was suuuuuper fluffy.
The rest of the time I was usually out on missions for my king.

[ He might have been something of a workaholic... ]

[underwhelms]

fluffy??
i thought you said he wasn't an animal

[baguablade]

Bai Zhe is. He's kind of like a big wolf-dog?
Only much fluffier! Ah, I miss petting his ears...
Though I only got to do that the one time, too.

[underwhelms]

so your kingdom was ruled over by a... dog??

[baguablade]

Of course not!
He was the royal advisor.

[underwhelms]

cain this is really hard to understand
this is a talking dog??

[baguablade]

Yes, of course. How else would we communicate with him?

[underwhelms]

i've never spoken to a dog before?
it sounds like a dream

[baguablade]

It's pretty common with primal beasts...
Some of them look like humans but many of them resemble creatures out of myths.
Bai Zhe's much bigger than a normal dog, too.
He's very majestic. (And fluffy!)

[underwhelms]

can you show me a picture?
