The Blue Scion (& Twin)

Are you quite well? Your face is as red as a rolanberry.

Panne! Unlike our dearest "friend" here, I found myself quite busy tending to a great number of small problems between the city-states in Eorzea. Gladly, I can say that it seems I have been afforded some much needed down time!

Erm. Alisaie is the female twin. But yes, that is quite a favored phrase of mine!

But father, it helps me hydrate!

Forgive me, father, but I am afraid that I do not know what you mean!

"I will refrain from kissing Ryne from now on per your request, Thancred."

"Believe me, I had planned to just let Alisaie date Ryne. But they both insisted that it was alright! And... If it truly isn't, then I will... I will step aside." He looks like he's about to cry at this notion, or maybe, at the entire conversation.

"W-Well... I have... But you see it started when... My sister asked her out for a date and... It went well and I could do nothing to curb the jealousy I felt and... So my sister had a conversation with Ryne and the conclusion.... was... was... Well it resulted in, in, in...

"A-Ah. Yes?" The boy is sweating absolute bullets.

He is absolutely bright red. He takes Ryne's hands in his. "Happy Heavensturn, my darling."

"Ah, Ryne, I wanted to-?!" And suddenly! He is being kissed. And he melts and returns it.

And why would you invite me for such a thing? To let me know what I am missing?

And here I thought we'd worked *past* your mean feelings towards me. If you are still feeling animosity towards me, pray, be up front about it.

I will... Be sure to internalize this.

Hmf.

I am: No more children. This is non-negotiable!

Perhaps if you spoke plainly and made your intentions clear! Not everyone enjoys the emotional mind games you like to play, *Alisaie.*

...I do not understand.

I promised that I would not intrude, and so I will not intrude.

"Ah, forgive me. I have been trying to stay away from such language... Well. Who wouldn't prefer my sister over me? I do well at matters of the mind, but when it comes to emotional endeavors... I am sure you have noticed how severely lacking in the particular field I am in." [He sighs, taking+

[He happily takes the cup and takes a swig.] "Ahh... There is a girl that has captured my entire heart... And also my sister's. I have elected to allow Alisaie to court this girl uncontested as she has had some issues with me courting women in the past."

[There is pointedly, no response to this message.]

[Alphinaud arrives! He seems in low spirits as he takes his seat next to Hilda." It is good to see you, my friend. Would that I were in a better mood...

Then they may. I am unbothered if my feelings are made known to her, her hand is simply not mine to hold.

Excellent, my friend! I shall be on my way momentarily!

No.

No, no, I think you are right on both accounts.
