[there are the sounds of shoveling, and a slight sound of frustration, but yes, it is indeed Natalia outside Carter Estate, shoveling a small hole. In her hand is a lovely, lime green bean. She stares at it suspciously, but decides to bury it. ]

I've been so busy lately I hadn't noticed--besides, thanks to Anise, I'd very much like to learn how to

Can you tell me anything more specific about this Xanxus? Should we keep watch on him?

[ Voice ]

[mykimlasca]

Considering he attacked me when my back was turned, I'd advise caution.

[ Voice ]

[justabignobody]

What...?

[A small growl passes his lips; now after Sora's kidnapping, he is especially intent on keeping an eye on Vanitas and his likes, on anyone who might be out to cause harm. Xanxus definitely just made it on his list.]

Can you describe that man to me?

[ Voice ]

[mykimlasca]

He's tall, has black hair, and numerous scars on his body, a lot on his face, almost like burn-marks. He'll most likely call you trash.

[ Voice ]

[justabignobody]

Okay... thank you.

[He hesitates for a moment, because he probably should have asked this before... but better late then never (even if that definitely says something abut the deterioration of his social skills)?]

Are you all right?

[ Voice ]

[mykimlasca]

I'm alright, Ansem. I appreciate you inquiring, you always seem to be on the lookout for such individuals.

I may not look it, but I'm an accomplished archer, and the Lanvaldear style of archery is not to be bested by the likes of him.

[justabignobody]

It's part of my job as member of the police force. And... I can't forgive those, who enter a peaceful world like this one with the intention to cause harm.

[He hesitates another moment; it's always kind of awkward when he has to correct people about his name now, but it's something he's brought on himself when he had decided to go under false name.]

It's Riku.

[ Voice ]

[mykimlasca]

Nor can I. As heir to the throne of my country, to overlook injustice in another is simply something I cannot do. Consider it the duty of a Crown Princess.

[she blinks]
Very well..Riku it is then.

[ Voice ]

[justabignobody]

Seems like we are both duty- and honor-bound to put a stop to them... Your Majesty?

[There is no trace of mocking or malice in his voice; nothing but the respect he has already had for her, the slightest question of whether she wants him to address her by her title or not.]

Thank you. [For just accepting the change of name. For not asking questions.]

[ Voice ]

[mykimlasca]

I appreciate your appreciation for my station, but please call me Natalia instead. This isn't my kingdom and I am just like you, after all.

[she just smiles, placing it into her voice]
Of course. We all have our reasons.

[ Voice ]

[justabignobody]

[He'd argue about that... but Mickey has taught him better by now.]

Very well... Natalia.

[ Voice ]

[mykimlasca]

If I feel you're a brute, I'll demand you to call me 'Your Royal Highness' how does that sound?
[an amused tone]

[ Voice ]

[justabignobody]

[That startles a laugh out of him.]

I think I can live with that.
