2 ♕ The latest trend is extreme rejuvenation

[airshipswank]

[ Buckingham is currently channelling his boredom into elaborately eating a bowl of figs and drinking wine in whatever orphanage equivalent of the dining hall he got stuck in now.

He also finds that the mansion deserves to be updated on his displeasure and the terrible service it is presently providing. ]

Still not very festive, those events. And

I totally don't need anybody to take care of me!

[The connection of Poland's mannerisms with an apparently female child probably aren't too odd, considering the ubiquity of breeching in his time.]

[airshipswank]

[ Oh, of course not. Why, only recently Buckingham almost selected a lovely gown for a tinier Athos himself. But that is quite possibly neither here nor there... ]

Very big words for one so small.

[reckless_eagle]

[The blond laughs, confident to a fault.]

It totally doesn't matter if I'm little! I'm like, still way more hardcore than everybody, and I don't need to be looked after!

[He never was when he was really this age, either! Except by the Church. And some of his more parental-y bosses.]

[airshipswank]

Is that so?

[ He chuckles. Buckingham can appreciate the sentiment, at least.

And he can see a certain resemblance, now that he looks closer. Not too difficult, given that there aren't many here who have so much as a semblance of style, regardless of their age. ]

...Ah, but I do know you, don't I?

[reckless_eagle]

You're, like...

[Think, think, think!]

Oh! You're totally that English duke, right?

[airshipswank]

[ Curbing the eye-twitch. Curbing the eye-twitch.

...At least that confirms his suspicion. ]

Lord Polskie!

[ New name: Acquired. Congratulations! ]

I almost didn't recognise you in those... new dimensions.

[reckless_eagle]

But I'm like, too cute to be anyone else, right!

[With that smile, he makes a fairly compelling case.]

[airshipswank]

[ A small bow. ]

Dashing and charming, my Lord.

[reckless_eagle]

[He giggles. Dashing probably isn't the word, at the moment. Cheek-pinch-able, perhaps.]

For sure!

[He frowns, thoughtfully.] Like, how come you and Liet are still tall? You were already taller than me, that's no fair!

[airshipswank]

...I hadn't given it much thought.

[ He has yet to experience any graver event effects himself, so location aside, Wonderland is something that happens to other people.

...Though it did happen to Athos and they are from the same world, so perhaps giving it some thought would be a wise thing to do. ]

It is curious, isn't it? Are your events usually more thorough?

[reckless_eagle]

It's like, lame to the max, is what it is!

[He pouts.]

They're like, not my events. If they were, I'd totally be the tallest!

[airshipswank]

Without a doubt, [ Buckingham concedes. ]

Unfortunately we have no say in their organisation, otherwise I should very much like to make the halls look less drab.

[reckless_eagle]

We could like, get paints from the closet and do that anyway!

[VANDALISM :D]
