[004E - Audio/Video] - Report #3
[Sitting prim and proper, Eirika has one arm upon her desk. Her room looks... surprisingly barren. Well, half of it anyway. The half that isn't hers.]
Things have grown quiet. The space may be greater for me and something akin to home, yet I feel no sense of joy from it.
[In short, she misses Lyra.
Glancing aside momentarily, her posture straightens again.]
I require some information for my personal station.
I would like to know some more about the authoritative position differences between this academy and the town. I am also quite curious as to whether they should be treated as two separate provinces, or if one authority has a hierarchy above the other.
Where I come from, it is an age of monarchies. I would imagine coming to learn about the differences here would provide to me a better understanding of how to effectively lead my own people.
[Boopa boop. I am a filter.]
Madame Flurrie.
If you wouldn't be adverse to it, I would appreciate some moments of your time.
At your convenience, naturally.
[Boopa boop. Guess the filter's done.]

Action
[Oh...okay, he got it. Sort of. Ignoring the royalty thing. It's obvious he gave no shits.
It was obvious now anyway that...they were not just friends. Or close.
There was something else pulling here. Something Connor just...He can't...Can't. He said to himself he just can't deal with it. He shouldn't be allowed to deal with it. Whatever it is. Because Connor was denying what it was. WHATEVER IT WAS.
He almost exploded. He made a face before calming down. After all, he...had stopped trying to come home because the things here were stopping here.
To be frank then, the thought of not being around his mother after so long...scared him.
Wait.
He took a deep breath before he tried speaking.]
...You say your time here is fleeting and yet...you keep telling yourself "no" over and over. Until you feel it to be true.
[He looked at her harder.]
Perhaps it is true that we are to eventually be needed at our respected places. I once thought above no else I should be home, still fighting.
[His heart hurt...to admit this now. This would be the real first time he said such a thing to this extent about this place.]
Yet my time here is not over, I have much to do here now. Fights I must take part here. People I must meet. Certain things need to be resolved. Things I must learn.
Much I must learn...much...
...Leaving here now, would be premature. I cannot leave as it stands now.
[He crossed his arms, for no reason really except he's now a bit uncomfortable.]
Thinking your time here as long or short too much will drive you mad. So...so I believe. We are...here now, correct?
Action
The way he looked at her...
Eirika wasn't sure she... liked it. She didn't know how she felt, actually. She wanted to say she did. But rather than to think about that, she chose to focus more on the rest of what he had to say.
Connor. Always selfless. Always doing things for everyone else. Getting so wrapped up in her own feelings when there were more important things going on made her feel a little worse. He had a good point. Other things required her attention. Which... meant she could put her heart on hold.
If she was any kind of decent person, she would.]
Ah... Yes. That we are.
[Fingering her chin, she wondered what else she could possibly say. Foolish princess, indeed.]
I do imagine that the people here will benefit a great deal from your presence, Connor. You are what they need, I think. Someone willing to take initiative and fight on their behalf. You are rather capable.
[It really was a lot easier to talk about him than her. She'd probably said enough about herself to last a few years between them.]
Action
...The people here need you too. Someone so passionate about the safety of those around them can only do so much good to make this place a peaceful one.
[Saying everything but "I NEED YOU" pretty much. But hell if he will say that. Or at least like this.]
I can only do what I believe is right, and to help.
Action
Yes. I understand.
[She had her own plan. She had her own aim as to what she meant to accomplish. And she had her own prerogative, she supposed. Getting through it would likely mean some kind of freedom, and if she was going to be honest, freedom sounded really nice.
Freedom of the academy. Shadow certainly wasn't wrong.]
I will do what is necessary.
