Prom night?

Sounds like another social gathering where maggots come to fester. But seeing as it is the only interesting thing to have come out of Aegean lately...

Well, Zelda? I need to talk to you about this...prom thing.

...? Well, I have seen it as a very good reason to strengthen the bonds with the other kingdoms and lands here. To have good diplomatic views and stances is a benefit not only to your people, but to yourself. I thought you would have realized such...

[twisted_albel]

I don't like false appearances. I don't appreciate the insincerity that these events promote. Even if it's in the name of diplomacy.

But even so, I realize that this "prom" is supposed to be a light-hearted gathering and nothing more.

[ir_reversetrap]

I hardly believe everyone who will attend would be 'insincere'. You should really give people less of your judgment and a little more of your faith. After all, we cannot progress as people without others placing their reliance into us, yes?

[twisted_albel]

My faith is sorely lacking and for good reason. I have only been disappointed by what I've seen so far.

And those that I extend any sort of trust to are far and few between.

[ir_reversetrap]

I am very sorry if I have disappointed you as well. I will try not to in the future. And perhaps one day, I will prove I am worthy of your trust.

[twisted_albel]

Fool, fool, fool. I didn't single you out as one of those maggots and worms.

That is the only reason why I'm going to ask you to accompany me to the prom.

......! Lord Nox... I... am very touched by your request, however, Lord Marth has already requested my companionship with him. Though I would like it if you came. Lord Marth and I are to practice on my dancing, and I would not be against showing your through my effort.

[twisted_albel]

Really now.

...I will think about it.

[ir_reversetrap]

I would like that very much. As I consider you close, you know.

[twisted_albel]

...I don't know why you would consider such a thing.

[ir_reversetrap]

Why should I not? You may call me a variety of names, yet... You have never once lifted a hand to harm me. I can hardly see any reason I should be anything but kind.

[twisted_albel]

Trusting me to not harm you is one thing.

It's another to consider me... "close".

[ir_reversetrap]

I like to consider you close. Forgive me, Lord Nox.

[twisted_albel]

People are full of surprises...

Fine. I'll bear it and attend the prom.

[ir_reversetrap]

Thank you. I appreciate it.
