[Yuri is holding out the SFC at some distance, far enough so viewers can see he’s in the park.]

I think I’ve been here about a week now? In the span of that, I’ve kicked some pirates’ asses, done some small jobs, wandered around, and ate mocha ca-well, that’s not important. Just wondering if anyone’s up for being sentimental about the past; I

Aww Yuri!~ That's so nice!

*She scowls for a moment over the SFC*

You got pushed around? Huh...that's not fair!

*She melts the expression into a smile*

I'll be there soon!

[delinquenthero]

... Honestly, I wish I could do it for a more familiar crowd, but hey, I'm not going anywhere, am I?

*Yuri chuckles lightly at her exclamation*

World's not fair, but at least I didn't grow up stuffy like those so-called nobles. I think I'd die from all the rules.

Seeya, Selphie.

[dystopiadreams]

Still...don't you ever wonder what it would be like to grow up all rich and with people who want to protection you no matter what? Like a princess?

*Though no doubt, Yuri had no interest in ever being a princess. Prince, maybe. Princess, not so much.*

[delinquenthero]

... I've met a sheltered princess. People were chasing me everywhere with her tagging along. ... But that's another story.

*After that statement, he smiled a little, thinking aloud.*

If I grew up like she did, I wonder if I'd be as good a person as her.

*Luxurious living in general was a really alien idea to Yuri. Despite his jerk tendencies, he was a selfless guy--he'd sooner donate an entire fortune than spend on himself. Never would've liked the extra attention.*

[dystopiadreams]

Tell me about it! It's really hard work having a princess around.

*She smiled softly, thinking over what he said*

Well...I dunno. She was a big pain at first, mostly. But then she got nicer. I guess cause she was hanging out with us!

*And luxurious living is just one of those dreams for Selphie - as common for most young oprhaned girls with a rough upbringing*

[delinquenthero]

Always with the influences. Well, it's good for princes and princesses to learn what the commoners are really feeling. Sometimes authority gets disillusioned they're doing a good job when they really... aren't.

I doubt I'd like being fussed over and spoiled, much less disciplined, but someone scrambling over to protect me? ... Hm, I think I've got that covered.

[dystopiadreams]

You're right! And the princess...she fell in love with my friend! Isn't that funny? Cause he was saving her life... Sooo romantic!

I think it'd be fun...for a little while! But...weird.

[delinquenthero]

I dunno when that whole rescue romance trend started, but I have to admit it doesn't get old. Laughable maybe, but... yeah.

You bet. The guy should have better things to do, since I can take care of myself just fine. But he's not changing anytime soon, so I'm not gonna be arguing either.

[dystopiadreams]

Uh huh! It almost makes me wish I was a princess in distress just so I could have a handsome hero come and rescue me!

*Long pause...Selphie getting carried away*

*She giggles at Yuri's comment. Stubborn, just as she was*

Well, you've got all sorts of types of people to meet here in Vatheon!

[delinquenthero]

Ha, make sure you're worth the trouble first.

I've got no doubt about that... it'll be interesting: so many places I've never heard of before.

[dystopiadreams]

He-ey!~~ What's *that* supposed to mean? I'm TOTALLY worth the trouble!

[delinquenthero]

Tell that to your future knight.

[dystopiadreams]

*Someone's in a huff*

I WILL! I just...need to find him first...
