Decree One // My Empire for a Judge [Video]

[lord_fledgling]

[The feed begins on a young boy looking unsettled. But his poker face held strong holding his chin high, but not so he'd come across condescending. He was reaching out to...whoever was around.]

Hello? If anyone is around I would very much appreciate being informed of my location. It is of the utmost urgency that I am returned to Archadia, the Empire

[She's on the same floor as you so accompanying the video is a voice in your head]

An emperor?

[lord_fledgling]

[He blinks a little confused, but replies regardless...albeit letting his confusion show.]

Yes, admittedly I am a mere fledgling as the council put it, but they believed it best.

[last_ofherkind]

[Claudia's used to this by now]

Do not worry, and do not be confused. I have the Gift, that is how I am speaking in your head.

[lord_fledgling]

My apologies if I was rude, I didn't know. What is the Gift, if I may be so bold as to ask?

[last_ofherkind]

Of course not. The Gift is how I am able to see into people's minds and hearts. It is how I can communicate without words. But do not worry, I cannot read your mind at this distance and I will not do so without his royal highness's permission.

[She knows how to speak to royalty, not because she's met any royalty but because she's read about them.]

[lord_fledgling]

Oh, I see, thank you. Though I doubt I would have been able to tell such a thing.

What is your name?

[Larsa's fairly used to the formality, however he's fairly sure that where he is his status counts for naught.]

[last_ofherkind]

My name is Claudia, Your Highness. Do you wish to see me?

[She likes meeting people, before coming here she never met anyone.]

[lord_fledgling]

It's a pleasure Claudia.

[He pauses...really he's not used to being by himself for long periods of time, especially when Gabranth was his guardian and now Basch.]

Yes please, if it isn't too much of a trouble for you. I would appreciate the thought very much.

[She nods]

[A few minutes later there's a sharp rap on Larsa's door]

[In Person]

[lord_fledgling]

[Larsa hops from the bed and opens the door for his guest. He greets her with a polite smile and nod.]

Hello Claudia. Please, make yourself comfortable.

[In Person]

[last_ofherkind]

[She steps in rather oddly, with long loping strides. She chooses to stand rather than sit, leaning against the wall. Compared to court ladies Claudia is certainly a bit...rustic. Her clothes are ragged and dirty, her bare feet have practically black soles, her hair is in a messy pony tail, but she has a kind face and a warm smile]

Welcome to the Manor, your highness.

[She curtsies low and awkwardly]

[In Person]

[lord_fledgling]

[Larsa notices this and seems a little saddened. He never liked the way that those who weren't nobility had to live, but the fact she was smiling brings an equally warm one to his own face.]

Thank you Claudia, but really, please just call me Larsa. I do not feel that formalities will be necessary for this place.

Re: [In Person]

[last_ofherkind]

If you're sure, then I shall. Where do you hail from, Larsa?

[In Person]

[lord_fledgling]

I am from the world of Ivalice. My Empire Archadia is at the very centre of it. What about yourself?

Re: [In Person]

[last_ofherkind]

The Land of Agarita. I've never heard of Ivalice, but I suppose here that is not so unheard of.

[He nods with a hum.]

Indeed, it seems many of us are unaccustomed to one another's worlds and habits.
