I don't mind at all. [He smiles warmly up at her.]

[ofnobleheart]

[ Natalia smiles warmly back and sits down as close as she possibly can next to him. ]

It's a nice night out tonight, is it not?

[drawnbythesword]

[Oh well hello there.]

Yeah, it's beautiful out tonight. I'm grateful we have such a gorgeous night for this festival.

[ofnobleheart]

[ Sorry it's the Peppermint. She certainly wouldn't be so close if it weren't the case. ]

Yes, so am I. It's the perfect night to sit down and view the fireworks with other.

[drawnbythesword]

Yeah, I agree. [He turns his head towards her to get a better view of her.]

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I think. Or at least it is here.

[ofnobleheart]

[ --oh hi there~ She doesn't move but she is smiling more when he turns. ]

Is that so? Perhaps I am lucky to see this so soon after arriving here.

[drawnbythesword]

[wow you sure are smiling a lot there.]

Oh, are you new here?

[ofnobleheart]

[ All the smiling when you're loaded with peppermint. She nods. ]

I am. I've been here about three weeks.

[ More or less. She hasn't gotten used to Luceti calender yet but at least the number of days in a week is the same. ]

[drawnbythesword]

Oh, wow. So this is your first experience with the Shifts here, isn't it?

[ofnobleheart]

It is. Though if I must be honest this experience is not what I had expected.

[drawnbythesword]

To be honest, most Shifts aren't like this.

[ofnobleheart]

Is that so? What are they normally like?

[drawnbythesword]

Usually, they mess with our memories or give us weird powers, or change how we look...

[ofnobleheart]

We're not expected to simply accept these are we? I don't approve of them at all.

[drawnbythesword]

Of course not. I don't think anyone here "accepts" them. [At least, he sure hopes not.]

[ofnobleheart]

I certainly hope not. But perhaps I might be correct in that people simply have learned to live with it?

[drawnbythesword]

Yeah, that's a good way to look at it. It's just... a part of life here at this point, and until we figure out how to stop them, there's not much we can do but live with it.

[ofnobleheart]

I suppose that there isn't much that we could do at this point. Perhaps we should just enjoy ourselves to the fullest instead?

[drawnbythesword]

[he nods to that.]

Yeah. Our time will come when we'll be able to do something. But until then...

[ofnobleheart]

[ Natalia nods before realizing something ]

Oh! I don't believe I have introduced myself. I'm Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. Thank you again for allowing me your company.

[drawnbythesword]

Nice to meet you, Natalia. I'm Asbel Lhant.

[A pause.]

That's quite a name you have.

[ofnobleheart]

It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance.

It's my family name. I'm the princess of the Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear.

[drawnbythesword]

A princess... [Unlike the typical person who would be shocked to be in the presence of a princess, Asbel's unfazed.]

I never thought I'd meet someone else here like Richard and I.

[ofnobleheart]

So you are also of royalty?

[ You and this Richard person ]

[drawnbythesword]

[He nods.]

Yeah. Richard's the King of Windor, and I'm the Lord of Lhant, a territory in Windor. [Normally he doesn't feel so inclined to share about his status to someone he's first met, but with Natalia, he just feels... comfortable.]
