My... I have tumbled into... a world quite a bit unlike home

Lady Elice! It is good to see you.

[alteanprincess]

A privilege to see you as well, Lady Sheeda.
I should hope you and Maric have been keeping my brother out of conflict. He seems to be quite relieved to have had you both here. I also owe my gratitude for such.

[pegasusprincess]

There is no need to thank me, Lady Elice. Marth is a dear friend of mine - it is only natural that I keep him safe from harm.

[alteanprincess]

It is a simple appreciation. You would but feel the same in my position. I stand beside my words.

[pegasusprincess]

Ah, yes, I would feel the same if I were in your position. I appreciate your gratitude, Lady Elice. You have nothing to worry about.

[alteanprincess]

Now then, please tell me how you have been. I have had the time to speak with Marth. I would like to hear of you, Lady Sheeda.

[pegasusprincess]

Oh, well, I've been just fine, Lady Elice. A little busy and tired from work, but otherwise fine.

[alteanprincess]

My, you have grown concise, an impressive asset. I do hope then that you will continue to be 'fine', excluding such traits as exhaustion, though such is inevitable at times. I look forward to seeing you as well.

[pegasusprincess]

I...I have? Many of the others call me 'blunt-mannered', but...never concise... Especially since I tend to get long-winded...
I'm quite resilient, so work isn't going to keep me down for long. I'll be good as anything once I've had some more relaxation time. And I wouldn't mind seeing you soon as well. It's been a while...

[alteanprincess]

I detect an unrest within you that may be causing this... 'nature' of yours. It is an appropriate one for you to have, however, and therefore, I will not be making any claims of what you should or should not change of yourself.
Ah, yes. Resilience is an additional trait to be considered highly spoken of. I trust you know where your boundaries lie, and will not bother to chide you.
Yes, of course. Allow us to plan for this, perhaps... in half of a fortnight? If you are to have no work, I would think.

[pegasusprincess]

You seem to know me so well, Lady Elice.

I'll have plenty of time off then, Lady Elice. If you want, I could take you around Ares and show you some interesting places.

[alteanprincess]

Simply observance, Lady Sheeda.
I would enjoy that immensely. I do not know these places they call 'districts' very well. I have only had the privilege of my own residence, and my occupation, unfortunately. It would be in the best interest of my own to orient myself accordingly.

[pegasusprincess]

You were always good at observing people, Lady Elice. I was never able to read people so well.
I should be good to go Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, depending on your convenience. Then I can help you find your way around.

[alteanprincess]

A skill acquired over time, as most are. You will improve upon your own should you choose to. This I have no uncertainty about.
Hm... Friday sound quite appropriate to me, I think. That is the day before... the weekend, yes? The man in the Great Room of White did explain things rather clearly. Such a kind man. I believe Friday ought to be just fine.

[pegasusprincess]

It is a good skill to have... I should try to improve myself a little more in that area.
Friday is the day before the weekend, yes. And those people were very helpful to me as well, when I first came here many months ago. It is quite hard to be so nice and helpful to complete strangers, so they are a rare find indeed.
Friday it is, Lady Elice. Is there a place you'd like to meet me at, or would your apartment be acceptable?

[alteanprincess]

The young man here is a very good representation of how I would like to see Akaneia upon our return.
If you trust in my ability to direct myself properly, you may have the privilege of choosing our meeting place. Otherwise, it is permissible to meet at my quarters.
