Going to asgardeventide, so much voice testing.

[royalespada]

While I do humbly respect your decision of sending me to this land known as the Holy City of Asgard after existing in your "headspace" for so long... Part of me does wish that you would reconsider so I may be able to return home and stop Valua, Lady Mundane. For as I told King Mikado, until Valua sets itself back on the path of righteousness, I'll continue to fight them... Even mother if I must.

[A small pause.] ...Hmm? You say that Vyse, Aika, and Admiral Ramirez are there with me? Well, it will be nice to see Vyse and Aika again. I'm...not too certain about Admiral Ramirez though, yet I don't wish to think ill of him. And even though I know you won't go back upon your decision despite my wishes, I suppose I'll try to make the best of things when I find myself in this new place. Not only my sake but yours as well, my Lady.

[Yeah the first paragraph just wooshes over her head. But the second part-!]

You know Vyse-san and Aika-san? I'm sure they will be happy to see you!

[royalespada]

[Oh hello there little girl.]

Yes, they're friends from home. I'm to presume you've become a friend of theirs as well, young lady?

[saving_sound]

Uh-huh! They're both so kind, and they help me out a lot whenever I need it.

[Which is... probably too often, really. But that just means they're super nice.]

I'm glad they'll have another person familiar from home to be with!

[royalespada]

That sounds very much like the two of them, always willing to lend a helping hand.

[He's smiling at the little girl in return.]

I'm glad as well. Oh and please forgive my manners, my name is Enrique. It's very nice to meet you, young lady.

[saving_sound]

It's nice to meet you too, Enrique-san! My name is Hibiki!

[She is beaming at him. She's so happy to meet a friend of her friends *o*]

[royalespada]

Lady Hibiki, I do hope we are able to meet again upon my arrival in the Holy City of Asgard.

[saving_sound]

L-l--

I'm... I'm not royalty or anything, so you don't need to call me that... [Young lady is one thing, but...]

I hope we can meet there, too!

[royalespada]

We have a moral code where I come from on how to treat ladies, no matter their age or status. You deserve to be respected, Lady Hibiki.

[He's just smiling gently.] I would be honored to meet a very sweet young lady as you once again.

[unimpressive]

[Whoa whoa whoa, well, would you look at who's here...!]

Enrique! Getting bored without us?

[royalespada]

[Oh there's a face he's not seen in awhile.]

Oh Vyse, it's good to see you again and you're absolutely right. [He sighs.] I've missed you, Aika, Fina, and our journeys together on the Delphinus.

[unimpressive]

[He laughs.] It hasn't been the same without you! I bet Aika'll love to see you, too.

[royalespada]

You two haven't been getting into too much trouble, I hope. [He might be teasing a little, just a little.]

[unimpressive]

[He grins, completely unabashed.] Hey, you know us, Enrique! We're just fine.

[royalespada]

I am glad to hear you're well. [A small frown.] Though from what my Lady Mundane has told me, she is putting me in a different house than what you and Aika are in.

[unimpressive]

Whoa, really? [A frown of his own, though it only last a moment before he brightens again.] Guess that means me and Aika are gonna have to visit you there!

[royalespada]

Yes, she said the Sigyn house is more suited for me. Since I always think of others, even my own Valuan people, before myself. [He tries to be positive though.] By the way Vyse, this might sound strange... But what is the last thing you remember from home?

[unimpressive]

[Laughs. Ohhh, now he gets it!] Heh, I can see why! You'll probably like it there.

...Huh? You let us use your ship! And we were gonna go to Esparanza. But I guess Aika doesn't remember that...

[royalespada]

[Oh geez, Vyse was that far from into the past? Enrique isn't sure if he should tell Vyse what happens later on or not.]

...I see. I'm from farther into the future, Vyse. We were on our way to find the Purple Moon Crystal in the Lands of Ice.

[unimpressive]

[Paaaaaause.

Wait for it... Wait for it...

Vyse needs to focus on the least important part of this.]

Whoa, the Lands of Ice are real?!

[royalespada]

Yes, they are. We even discovered a way to sail around the world together.

[unimpressive]

Around the world?! [But... But the world's flat, Enrique!!] How did we do that?

This is all... This sounds amazing!

[royalespada]

We went through the Dark Rift and came to the kingdom of Yafutoma. Afterwards, we sailed east from Yafutoma to Crescent Isle and discovered that the world was in fact round. [See Vyse? The world isn't flat!!]

[unimpressive]

[Paaaaaauuuuse. He can't even process all of this.]

Whoa. We really did all of that? That's... That's amazing! You're gonna have to tell me about it!

[royalespada]

I'd be more than glad to. [He's just going to smile because he's glad to see Vyse so happy.] What exactly in detail do you wish to know about?

[unimpressive]

[He laughs, shaking his head. So they really do get to see beyond the sunset? It's almost too much to take in.] Everything! You've got to tell me everything you remember!

[royalespada]

[That's a tall order to fill, but he'll try.] Hmm, I wonder where I should begin? So much has happened, should I begin with the Dark Rift?

[unimpressive]

Yeah! The Dark Rift! The Delphinus was strong enough to get through it, right?

[argyria]

[He's not surprised. He's resigned, in a way, because after a while, becoming indignant to Asgard's affairs is a tiring practice.

So they add another from his world. Wonderful.

Something he says does catch his attention, though--]

...Admiral.

[There's little inflection in his voice, but there's...a sort of hesitance to it, as though he's unfamiliar with the title.]

[royalespada]

[He's silent for a good few minutes, but then he finally speaks up after all that silence.]

Admiral Ramirez, I see you are in good health.

[He's not sure what else to say, because the two of them never really spoke outside of meetings and issues dealing with the court.]

[argyria]

[Hey sup.

This is not awkward at all. BUT he is all business.]

Vyse failed to inform me of the detail regarding my promotion.

[royalespada]

It was some time ago at least for me, Admiral. Admiral Galcian requested the promotion to moth-Empress Teodora who approved it.

[alphastorming]

Enrique! It'll be so much more fun with you here! Not that it isn't now, but my mun and I are so excited to see you.

[royalespada]

Aika, I'm so glad to see you're doing well. My Lady Mundane is also glad to hear that your Mundane is excited.
