Oh, look, I can write. Isn't that clever?
Clovis la Britannia.
Viceroy Clovis la Britannia.
Clovis la Britannia, Viceroy of Area 11.
Clovis la Britannia, Third Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire.
I wonder which title will suit me best here. [pen taps against the page, tap, tap, tapYour Highness, Prince Clovis

Which title do you want us to address you by? You left quite a number of them.

I suppose I shall introduce myself, as well. [A tip of the tophat and a smile.] Professor Hershel Layton; Professor Layton will do. Pleasure to meet you, Prince Clovis.
Forgive me for asking so suddenly, but you mentioned a Holy Britannian Empire. Would that at all be related to the Roman Empire or its settlement Britannia in Europe?
Reply
Not the Roman Empire, but we did create quite a few settlements in Europe. [Ah, history. Never really his strong suit. Though, he does love historic artwork.] Of course, it did not stop there. We now control about one-third of the world.

So, a separate entity. How fascinating, the way that our histories diverge.
That certainly sounds like the definition of an Empire.

[Clovis blinks once.]
Did you say something?

It wasn't anything very important. I just noted that you had a passing resemblance to an acquaintance I knew.
Reply
A good acquaintance I would hope.

I'm glad you have it relatively handled, then.
[does swordfighting count as good?] Yes, he was an interesting acquaintance.
Reply
[Clears his throat, plays with his cravat a bit.] Yes, I am, too. [Inner sobbing.]
Well, I'm glad to be just as interesting.
Reply
Oh, yes, very interesting. [Said with as little dryness as possible.] For curiosities' sake, do you mind if I ask what House you have been placed into? I haven't had the chance to ask many about that.
Reply
[He nods a few times. It is nice that someone understands.]
I was placed into Hufflepuff.

Ah, I see. Thank you for indulging me in that. I've found the distinctions in Houses to be an interesting quirk of Hogwarts. I'm in Ravenclaw myself.
Reply
You are welcome. A Ravenclaw, I see.

[He nods.] Ah, that does remind me. Excuse me for going a bit off topic, but would you happen to have family here in Hogwarts? I noticed that there have been some other mentioning of Britannia in the posts on the communicator.
Reply
[His eyes widen a little. His family. Pressing his lips together, he smiles in a polite manner as he tries to hide his discomfort about it.] Yes, I do.
