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. ]

[ SPEAKING OF ELIWOOD, he's here too!! and maybe had a couple pints already, if the flush on his face is anything to go by. at least it's not as dark as his hair yet. he's a little wobbly as he makes his way around the crowd, checking on his companions, smiling and laughing and fairly stable - up until he bumps into someone anyway. ]

Oh - m-my apologies! I didn't... see you there.

[ okay, maybe more than a couple. they said it was 'to get him to relax' and wouldn't take no for an answer, okay! ]

[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.

[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! ]

[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.]

[marquess]

[ HOW DARE THEY INDEED GOSH. THERE WILL BE STERN WORDS that no one will heed.

why so frantic though celice. he was about to ask, but then he's distracted by the new question and it goes out of mind. alcohol is bad for your attention span, kids. there's a sheepish laugh - ] I'm fine! A little... a little drunk, but all right. Soldiers are stubborn about getting people drunk!

[ELIWOOD IS JUST TOO NICE.

And, hey, hey, it's not every day he's knocked into by someone who's drunk. He's not the most outgoing of guys...! Eliwood gets an awkward smile from him.] Ah... You've not had too much to drink, have you? Maybe you should sit for a moment or two...
