route_29 has the best damn Pokémon masters in the world let me tell you

[istheindustry]

My dear girl - as little as you can be faulted for desiring my company, did you really have to make it sound so urgent? It isn't as though you're doing anything particularly noteworthy; so it's been well more than half a year already. Good for you! In fact, I'm almost proud of you - it's not every day that I'm spirited off to some completely random world of your choosing, where I'm expected to do absolutely nothing that either interests or benefits me. It's an honor, truly.

[Okay, okay, the mun gets your point, jfc...]

Honestly, my dear, I'd think you would have learned by now that this will be done my way or not at all; unless you intend to improve your performance, I quite simply have nothing further to say to you.

...And don't even consider giving me any lip regarding how you'll see me here in another few months - you know as well as I that I don't intend to remain in that world anywhere near a full year.

[Yeah, it's kind of cute that you think you can hand down ultimatums here, Reaver. You don't even have your guns, where you are.]

Why anyone would drag you along into their head and expect you not to be you, I can't even begin to fathom.

[She means, really -- Reaver, expected not to do something that interests or benefits him? Yeah, right. Even as Queen, she knows better than that. ... but she also can't help herself from snarking.]

It must be terrible for you, though, being stuck in a world full of cute fuzzy things you aren't even allowed to shoot.

[istheindustry]

[Regardless of one's station, it would likely be a sign of the impending end of days if the snark were put on hold for too long - they're both from Albion, where snark is the primary export, after all.

That said! Canon-point-wise, our young Heroine over there isn't Queen just yet, as far as Reaver knows - however, the coronation is ridiculously close and he doubts Logan has either the desire or the ability in him to pull off shenanigans of the highest calibre, which would more or less be what's required to ensure that she isn't crowned. So. Not quite the Queen, but close enough that he'll respect her as such. Which is a polite way of saying "he still won't respect her very much, but at least he won't throw her in the Wheel of Misfortune again without her explicitly asking him to put her in there."

...yep.]

It's surprisingly not the fuzzy things that are presenting the problem - as useless though most of them may be, they generally become more useful over time or they're discarded. That much is fairly simple indeed. There are a few other...complications, however - although certainly nothing for Your Majesty to concern herself with.

And for the sake of reference, your brother is both present and doing reasonably well.

[roadtorule]

[Even if his respect is superficial, she'll roll with it. Ain't nobody got patience enough to change that man.]

Meaning my brother's the source of your problems, I'm assuming.

[Is she grinning? Does she look proud? Maybe it's a bit soon, but, hey.]

[istheindustry]

Yes and no. He's a bit tiresome - he wouldn't know proper adventure if it bit him, to say nothing of fun of any sort.

He's tolerable, don't misunderstand me. Just tiresome.

oops accidentally live action icon because gurl doesn't smile enough

[roadtorule]

Why bring him up, then? It's not that I don't appreciate the gesture, don't get me wrong. I'm glad to hear he's doing well. But it strikes me as odd for you to bring him up in this context unless he's the root of your frustrations.

no worries!

[istheindustry]

[Oh, honey. The most dismissive gesture for your effort.]

And you, of course, know me well enough to know what would be odd and what wouldn't, in this context.

[roadtorule]

It was your wording that gave the suggestion. [just saiyan dude]

So, what is it then? Can't be girl trouble, not with your charm and genuine kindness.
