Elyon groans, her head leaned back against the chair, eyes staring at the ceiling. Okay, not Elyon, the princess. She’s the princess. Or the queen. Technically she’s the queen, right? Meridian does queens, right? There’s just so much she doesn’t know, so much culture clashing that she doesn’t understand because she was not raised here. Because she didn’t even know this place existed a year ago, had no CLUE there were people out there relying on her, waiting for her, who prayed for her to come back and help them even when they stopped believing in her. Faith. That’s something this world has in common with Earth.
There’s some reports of things happening in some town whose name she hasn’t memorised. ( Note to self, work on that. Come on, Elyon, it’s just like being back at school… Every second… of every day. ) And for some reason he has volunteered and she doesn’t want him to go cause she got used to him, she got used to someone who knows something about Earth, got used to how he didn’t look like he was hiding disappointment on queen and instead genuinely tried to help. Mom and dad are the same but they’re still her parents, you don’t tell them everything. So it’s nice to have a friend.
❝ Still… I don’t like you going out there like that when we have no idea what is happening. People are just spooked and won’t talk… ❞ Remnants of Phobos’ influence, one could not expect the brother who ruled for over 10 years to just be gone like that, to be a mistake you can erase with a rubber. ❝ I’d feel better if I could go with you, just… support, y’know. ❞
