AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE A FIRE EMBLEM PARTY

[solemnity]

[ so whatever you were doing, DROP IT. RIGHT NOW. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SAVING YOUR CONTINENT OR WORLD, YOU AREN'T DOING IT NOW.

no, now you're going to chill in this pub and enjoy some ale and maybe get rowdy. have some fun, loosen up, make new friends. WHO KNOWS, maybe they've got some crazy tales of their own to tell. maybe you'll see faces you shouldn't be able to anymore! TIME SHENANIGANS, MAN, wibbly wobbly and all that jazz.

anyway, this dude is just going to chill in a corner with a pint that's barely started and a book in his lap, keeping an eye on the guys he has the misfortune of calling his army. or the army he advises, rather, since technically they're eliwood's army. whatever. he's keeping an eye on them like a good mother hen tactician should. otherwise, have your fun, he'll leave y'all to it. ]

[She's all smiles as she sits next to Rebecca and nods. Yay, best friend!]

Wake up? Is he really all right? [WIDE EYES, OH NO--

Quickly forgotten as Rebecca keeps speaking.]

I don't know! I really don't remember coming in here. Maybe Uncle Legault was here...

[reedwolf]

[ SSHHH.

and he is very happy to see her, of course!! nino is forever the best little sister a guy could ask for, even if her mother he could easily do without. no let's not SSHHH... ]

I'm glad to hear that, then. With the types that can gather here... [ SIDE-EYEING SOME OF THE PATRONS. but once he reaches a clearer space, he'll let her back down on her feet, smiling as he ruffles her hair. ] Seen anyone else familiar?

[ because like he's really going to address the blank fang by name in a bar. he knows better than that. ]

[reedwolf]

[ he's not even going to try; he knows how legault works by now, and he well remembers the goose chase he got sent on last time he tried to figure out who the money belonged to. (he'd been young and foolish.) he just laughs, shakes his head as he leans against the bar next to the other man. ]

I can drink to that. [ there's a slight smirk of his own. he's not above joining in the tricks, after all. ] But how are you? It's been a while.

[fala]

[being from jugdral is suffering

--wait. He looks up at this new person, silent for a moment before he nods, aaaaaalmooost smiling.]

Yes, that's all right. I'm Azel.

[angelfaced]

[MOTHER, WHAT MOTHER, sshhhh, this is happy time now.

She nods as he puts her down and ruffles her hair, though not in response to the question.] I don't know! Everyone looks really quiet right now, Lloyd.

[At the question though, she raises a hand to her mouth, taking a look around them before shaking her head.] No, just you! I don't know if anyone else is here.

[solemnity]

[ existing is suffering in fire emblem.

he nods back, taking a seat at the table and making sure to keep a respectful distance between them. ] Thank you. My name's Gale - a pleasure. [ he offers a small smile of his own. ] Are you waiting for someone?

[lightinheritor]

[gosh, eliwood, watch your alcohol intake!! ...wait.

Congrats, Eliwood, you just bumped into a completely sober teenager! ...The same age as you, actually.]

Ah, n-no! I'm... I'm very sorry.

[loneflower]

[Gosh, this guy totally needs to lighten up!

A wide grin on her face, Sylvia approaches this particular corner.]

You're not just gonna sit here all by yourself, are ya?

[fala]

[true that

Now he actually does smile at the introduction.] It's a pleasure to meet you too, Gale.

[A glance around the room. Nooope, he's not waiting for anyone. A laugh.] I wish I could say I was. But I don't even remember how I got here.

[marquess]

[ HE WAS and then... several soldiers decided to watch it for him...... #commanderproblems ]

N-no, that was my fault - I wasn't watching my s... step. [ maybe if he blinks a bit the room will stop wobbli - nope, that did nothing. still, flashing the stranger a smile! ] You're all right?

[ even sober he'd ask that for a simple bump. excessive politeness, yay! ]

[thismustbelove]

[Legault had good fun, of course. Why Lloyd would ever want to know who he's stealing from, he isn't quite sure; he only steals from the people who won't notice that it's missing, naturally. He's a Fang, not a common criminal.]

Please do. Here I was, hoping for a handsome friend to drink with. [Ordering more, yes he is. The more (booze) the merrier.] You know how it is. I'm here, then there. Very, very busy.

[marquess]

[ you know who dares? eliwood dares. st. elimine knows why, but he does.

he's just going around, checking on faces he knows, which brings him to approaching serra with a smile. ] Hello, Serra. Enjoying yourself?

[lightinheritor]

[WELL, IT'S HIS SOLDIERS' FAULT... how very dare they]

Yes, I'm all right! It's really not a problem at all, I assure you. [Just slightly frantic here! But he notes the way he's speaking... and stops.]

Are you all right? You look almost as if... [you're about to fall over.]

[thewildflower]

He'll be fine, Nino. It's after he wakes up that you should be worried about.

[She giggles. Oh, yes, someone is going to get punched in the face. Or worse. Rebecca's gotta keep the men in her life in line!]

Oh...Legault, he's that man from the Fang, isn't he? He's your uncle?

[redblade]

[He looks at Sylvia, already he doesn't like her. This is how Rutger rolls.

He looks up at her, then back down at his drink.]

Yes, I am.

[angelfaced]

[She laughs again. Oh, she's not entirely sure what's going to happen to Dart, but she can guess...]

Yes! He's... um... He's not really my uncle, but it's like he is! Maybe he'd come here.

[loneflower]

[Oh, wow, how rude!!

When he ignores her, she just sits, completely unconcerned.

The booze probably helps with that.]

Huh? That ain't no fun! You can't just go stayin' here all day.

[redblade]

[He would have been able to if it weren't for meddling kids like you. He just shrugs his shoulders. The booze is probably helping her in more ways than one, since Rutger isn't in a stabby mood.]

Apparently not, since you're here now.

[Wow, disdain.]

[thewildflower]

[Such things will never happen to good little girls like Nino.]

I can't say I know him very well. Hmm...I wonder if he even knows my name. He's a bit scary looking, isn't he? [Not like Raven, who is also handsome.]

...oops

[loneflower]

[Oh. ...Oh.

Sniffs. She's starting to get the picture.]

That's right! I'm here now and you can't just go and ignore me!

huh

[redblade]

[He looks up at the door. It's so far away, and there's a crowd.

...but he wants to leave. He takes a long swig from his drink.]

[fireshorts]

[... Feel that leering sort of star on you?

It's coming from the kid a few tables over. He's slouched forward across the wood, brows furrowed and frown deep as he watches.]

[renewance]

Safegu- Matthew. [ And suddenly her face becomes very, very grave. So grave that it's pretty comical, as it does not suit her bright pink hair. ] Matthew! Give these nice people their possessions back! When will you learn that stealing is only alright when Lord Hector gives his sanction!

[ The fact that Serra is flailing about and talking about Matthew stealing things from this.. very upscale pubs loyal patrons is probably not a good thing, nope. ]

[redblade]

What do you want?

[He's noticed. And he's annoyed.]

[angelfaced]

[One can only hope.]

Um, I don't know...

But I like Uncle Legault! He's really nice to me and he never gets angry and he's always around too! [Define always...]
