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. ]

[Goodness! It's really Rebecca! Boy, is Nino glad to see her!

Nino giggles, giving Rebecca a little wave.]

Rebecca! I'm so happy to see you! How did you get here?

[thewildflower]

[She gives a little wave back, her smile as big as ever. Some things never change, best friend!]

I followed Dart in here, actually. I get the feeling he won't be leaving for a while, though...he'll wake up eventually, I'm sure.

[She takes a seat. There's fresh bread, at least?]

What about you, Nino? It feels like it's been ages!

[angelfaced]

[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...

[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?

[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.

[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.]

[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...]

[thewildflower]

[No, fate has worse things in store for Nino. 8D]

Hmm...

Wait, always? I don't see him right now...he's not watching us, is he?

[angelfaced]

[...Sob. Everything goes wrong, yay!!]

Huh? [She looks around, thoughtful. She speaks in a lower voice when she continues, completely earnest.] I don't see him either. But he always knows a lot about what's going on! He might know we're here...

[thewildflower]

[At least our sons will...know that they exist...]

That's so creepy! I don't know how I feel about someone stalking me, even if he's your uncle, Nino. [She breaks off a piece of bread for herself to nibble on, and passes the other half to Nino.] Though, I guess there's no way we'd be able to tell...oh, speaking of, Nino, how's Jaffar lately?

[angelfaced]

[There's... that... at least...]

[She shakes her head, brows furrowed in thought.] But he's really nice! I know he's just looking out for us.

[Aaaaand then her attention is completely diverted, as she nibbles on the piece of bread Rebecca handed her.] He's all right! He's been with me a lot now.
