[sitting on a distant hill, the air around her is distinctly cold as the patch of grass around her slowly freezes, melts and freezes again in constant battle with the warm evening.

Kaiko, for her part, is simply sitting and watching the fires dance and crackle.

...What a waste of good firewood.]

[futurebro]

[Someone he knows. Looking kinda surprise.]

....

[screaminginice]

...Two emperors? This land is surely blessed.

[futurebro]

[His mind snaps.]

I'm... I'm sorry?

[screaminginice]

[...yep, definitely unrelated. Still funny.]

You should take care. With that outfit one might mistake you for your lover with cut hair.

[futurebro]

[Heard only the word 'lover' there.]

W--what?! How did yo-- No, no, no! I don't have one!

.....

*blush*

[screaminginice]

[....pfffft]

For a wise emperor, you certainly don't know how to lie.

[futurebro]

[Mikuo knew he's bad at lying. Darn it. Although, he realizes this Kaiko is obviously not an ordinary person.]

I've should have known you're different Kaiko that I used to know. So what are you? A fortune teller or something?

[screaminginice]

Just a failed queen.

[ignore the sword on her back in a frozen scabbard and the way the grass around her has frosted over]

[futurebro]

[Trying to ignore, but yet, she mentioned herself as a 'queen', which is quite surprising. Where all his manners?]

Um... My apologies. I didn't mean to be rude?

[screaminginice]

[just chuckles]

Failed Queen. As in Queen no longer; there's no need for pomp or ceremony.

[she'd hated that anyway]

[futurebro]

You still hold your status as a queen, right? ... aybe ex-queen? Just like band, even you failed or quit, you still called ex-band.

Um.. Some sort like that...

[He's more to modern days, so his 'brain' couldn't compute much.]

[screaminginice]

[just shrugs]

It doesn't matter much.

[futurebro]

[Sits down, not so close to her.]

Say Kaiko, at your world, how do I look like? And his lover, is it the same?

[screaminginice]

[...just smirks]

You look like you.

Only older and more prone to launching bloody conquests in search of a cure for a diva doomed to die.

[futurebro]

[It's like he read on the old book. Kingdoms and Knights, Kings and Queens, Dragons and Dungeons.]

That would be complicated. I ensure you I'm nothing like him. Just an ordinary robot.
