[ privately, charles sighs — does he really not get that he doesn't want richard to worry about him because of duty but because he actually, genuinely cares?
no, why would he. he might as well just accept that the only reason richard actually seems to care about him is because he sees him as a subject, and that's it. ]
betray you as in support another to become the king of england?
it warms my heart to see so many names here. you must have adapted well into this world despite all these challenges to have gathered so many companions.
i see. i am glad to hear that. to my knowledge she is a young girl, carrying the weight of a troubled mind. but it sounds like she has been able to direct herself to do good and extend a helping hand.
anyway, enough about me, yeah? you doing alright? whitey make it back okay? don't get on junpei's case about it, please, he disappeared during the reset or right before it, and uh, i was sort of hurt so if anything, it was my fault
worry not. i warned him about whitey's tendency of not respecting the boundaries set by closed doors. i am not least surprised he escaped from his care.
[SORRY CHARLES. You just turned his attention more towards you.]
why'd i come to you about something you can't do anything about? ghost injuries, it's... it's not like we have bandages or anything here that work for me. if i get injured all i need to do is rest and wait for it to heal. it wasn't that i don't trust you, your grace. just, i'd feel right stupid, telling you, hey, i got injured, you can't really do anything about it though
it is true that there is a lot i don't understand about your condition or world. but i do know that even you can get hurt. i might not be able to dress your wounds or make them better, but i would still like to be there for you. support and care for you, to help ease the pain that i can. never feel that there is an issue too mundane or foolish to share with me. you are of great importance to me, i do not want you to be alone.
thanks. i mean it, that means a lot to me. but it's okay, i wasn't alone
and you know that goes both ways, yeah? you're really important to me. guess that's partly why i didn't wanna bother you... but you're right. i'd want to be there for you no matter what too, so i should do the same, shouldn't i? promise i'll try to do better from now on

whoa, hey, no need to go that far. i'm definitely not an enemy of the crown, you know that, yeah? so you're right
and i already said you're the king, didn't i? c'mon, your grace. i just didn't want you to worry about me
no subject
it is my duty to worry for you. our situation might be unusual one but i am responsible for you. as long as you don't betray me.
no subject
no, why would he. he might as well just accept that the only reason richard actually seems to care about him is because he sees him as a subject, and that's it. ]
betray you as in support another to become the king of england?
yeah, not gonna happen.
no subject
now. i wish to know more about these comrades of yours that helped you during the mission.
no subject
right, sure. i went to ketsora with gwen, shinjiro and the two peters
the older peter was a really big help but it was actually jinx who saved my life, so
no subject
i shall commit these names into my memory, then. any friend of yours is my friend as well.
did she, now? i must thank her for it.
[WILL HE THO?]
no subject
oh, uh, thanks. there was also the beach team, scott and kotone and mikey and ekko. i stayed with them before i went back to—
i mean, went home
yeah, not the first time she's helped me either. she's pretty aces
no subject
i see. i am glad to hear that. to my knowledge she is a young girl, carrying the weight of a troubled mind. but it sounds like she has been able to direct herself to do good and extend a helping hand.
no subject
right, yeah. she's definitely helped me, so... there's that. but sounds like you've heard of her rather than learned about that from her
no subject

[SORRY CHARLES. You just turned his attention more towards you.]
injured? how?
no subject
oh, uh, don't worry about it. the ketsorans just got one lucky shot in, that's all
no subject
[Hm, okay. At least it wasn't more grave than that. Still, he doesn't like the underlying issue here.]
do you not trust me, Charles?
no subject
[ "not more grave than that"..... ha, ha. then again he'd downplayed it for everyone so it's not like richard is special! ]
what? of course i do!

[he will not tell Charles a shit...]
i do not take your trust for granted. i will work harder on protecting you for now on.
🎀 ?
and he thinks for a moment to just say, hey, you don't need to protect me at all — but he can already see how that would go badly. so, ]
thanks, your grace.
yass
please keep me updated on your missing friends.
