[battling]

They ain't boarded up.

[he actually doesn't have any points in lock picking]

[agleam]

I'm not really sure that's the same thing...?

[battling]

Throw a rock at a window!

[break! it! break! it!]

[agleam]

I - why are you trying to rope me into your criminal activity?!

[he sounds at least a little bit amused as he says that.]

[battling]

You called me nice!

[you owe him 1 criminal behavior]

[agleam]

That's a punishable offence now...?

[he says that but he starts looking for a rock anyways]

[battling]

It is if I say it is, ain't it?

[agleam]

[well

he throws the rock but he has one eye so his aim is wildly off and it just hits a random wall of the mansion instead. there's absolutely no way he would have been able to throw it hard enough to break a window, anyways. his strength stat...]

—Oops.

[battling]

[He laughs and climbs his way back down, wings shifting to provide him some balance before getting back to the ground.]

You 'n Pink have terrible aim.

[agleam]

I'm really not sure what you expected.

[battling]

Better than that.

[The wings flap twice before getting tucked against his back.]

Let's look at the rest of this place. Ain't a way into this for now.

[agleam]

[he laughs]

I don't know if you noticed, but I have one eye. It kind of makes taking accurate aim difficult.

[he glances around, though, before looking in the direction of the market.]

Seems like there's a lot going on over there.

[battling]

Ain't this the second time you've lost one?

[A lot happened in Paris. Some (one) people died.

He'll start heading off towards the market.]

[agleam]

Yeah, but I had, like, four and half months to get used to being able to see normally again. Although, now that you mention it, what do these places have against my eyes...

[he looks directly through the fourth wall (no)

but off to the market they go! he looks around curiously as they approach, ears perking up, though he tries to avoid all of the shadow people.]

Have you seen anything like this before?

[battling]

Now ya got a month!

[ A little over one month, at this point. ]

A market? Yeah, sure. Those go on all the time in Central.

[agleam]

Hopefully it'll get healed in the end, yeah.

[he looks around, a small smile coming to his face as he looks at the stalls.]

It seems really cool... I think I've only been to something like this once.

[battling]

You don't got these kinda things where you're from? People're always tryin' to trade their stuff for money.

[agleam]

[he shrugs.]

I mean, we definitely do, but I wasn't really allowed to leave the castle much when I was growing up. And since then, I've had responsibilities that kept me pretty busy.

[battling]

Go break some rules. 's good for ya.

[agleam]

I'm suddenly very curious about your rationale for that.

[battling]

You're what, not even in your twenties? When you're younger people are more forgivin'.

Especially as royalty, you ain't gonna have much time to cut loose. Central prince is beholden to so many rules already and he's still just 17.

[agleam]

[a small laugh.]

It was really strict when I was growing up, yeah, but... Believe it or not, a lot have things have changed over the last few months that mean I can more or less do what I want to do, as long as I'm not being wildly irresponsible.

[...]

Also, I should probably clarify that back when they were stricter I tried to run away constantly, so I think I've got the rule breaking thing out of my system by now.

[battling]

[A much louder laugh]

Kids run away a lot, huh? Least you got some rule breakin' in.

[agleam]

I climbed out the window so much my mom had to have a moat dug outside the tower my bedroom was in.

[battling]

Did ya get good at swimmin'?
