"Your Highness, someone has told me to find you. They claim that you wish me to be your valentine?"

"This isn't one of your ideas to trick me into doing something ridiculous with you, is it?"

( @captain-indris )

Oh my, someone has already found out.

Well, I suppose it is inevitable...

... Considering the occasion, Indris.

// Continuation from here. @imperator-ravion

(Two pales ones meet in a bar - 1, 2, 3, 4, ...)

*While Morgan reports to Merlin, the three of them do keep an eye on Ravion. He seems to be enjoying himself, curiously studying both the environment and the people within. Without faltering. After a moment, Morgan returns. with two large rolled up leafs in one hand, and two ceramic bottles.*

Nothing challenges your beliefs as much as exposure to unfamiliar things.

And I have seen things that make you question everything.

Ah, well, anyway... Merlin's sending her regards. She thought it was better not to overwhelm you with too much novelty. And I agree. Your place wasn't the first I have stumbled into and even that little I have seen ... ugh, it's gonna take days to process.

Here. Let's relax. Grilled beast steak in bread and fresh water. A real treat!

[imperator-ravion]

A masked plushie scoots out of the nearby bushes and stops at Ravion's feet.

Mini Ravion: ...!

Wow, to have a plushie version of me to be right here is not on my bingo card. A welcoming surprise.

-Ravion picks up the plushie, taking note of the intricate details on it, even on its tiny mask.-

Interesting… Even the armor you have feels soft to the touch.

-A perfect replica of himself, just shrunk in size, is softer to hold… and looks cuter.-

You don’t like the idea of having to work, either, I take it? That’s perfectly fine, we both can just have fun. Maybe you can help me keep watch while I do have to work, then?

Hmm… If there is someone behind this, I wonder if Velara’s got the plushie version of herself pay her a visit yet. If so, I’m sure they’d toy with her, and that would be fun.

[imperator-ravion]

A strange, seven headed beast is lying down by one of the ponds in the palace, casually guzzling down fish that get too close to it.

@magister-scylla

-When the beast’s presence catches Ravion’s attention, he appears to be caught off guard at first, then regains his usual demeanor quickly.-

Oh? It is surprising how you got in here without being detected…

…

-With no clear regard to the unfortunate fish that get too close to the creature in question, the Imperator crouches down, getting closer to its level.-

Now, if I may ask, are you here because of hunger? Or is it because of… your own personal disdain?

[imperator-ravion]

Is it true that you used to always try to trip Velara up and bully her as a child?

My dear, wherever did you hear that from?

Since you asked me about this, it indicates you want to believe it to be true, and you’d like me to confirm it…

If it’s based from your assumption regarding how I interact with Velara… It doesn’t really matter whether or not I used to trip her up in my youth then, does it?

[imperator-ravion]

-Part 2- — @afkj-morgan

Heh, that will do. I’m sure you’ll have a lot to write down now that you have your notebook back. Plenty to discuss with your Merlin afterwards, too.

-Ravion ponders for a moment when he hears from Morgan that the door wasn’t created by his magic.-

…

-A part of him now grows curious. He did say he wouldn’t leave his spot vacant for too long.-

-However…-

I could attempt to have it locked on my side, yes. But now comes a thought…

Since you accidentally stumbled upon the time I’m in, how about I purposefully stumble upon your time in turn? I can’t be sure of how much time would pass during my absence from here, but this sounds like fun.

As for our return to the door, may I suggest teleportation to make it more efficient?

[imperator-ravion]

Gets jumped by a mini-Velara plushie while chilling with mini-Ravion.

(She got rejected by her counterpart)

…

“It takes real courage to meet her gaze”, they say… I don’t know who made you, but you look more… deceptively cute, than actively concealing kindness.

My, what am I to do with you…

Since you’re here, it means Velara doesn’t keep you around, as expected of her. Oh well, I suppose my subordinate can take care of you instead…

[imperator-ravion]

*With a murmur of appreciation and a groan of desperation, Morgan takes out his notebook to jot down a few of his first impressions.*

Door location: Asteria Rise. Door destination: enormous underground cavern with ... glamorous civilization--ACK!

*A sudden shriek behind startled him and in a sudden twitch his notebooks drops onto the stone railing and then down the balcony into the bushes far below.*

Who just ... *Morgan turns around but only sees a maid hurrying away and behind a pillar of the room behind him. He sighs deeply.*

Merlin, we need to talk about compensation... "Lord Ravion, there.... there is a strange person on your balcony!" *Morgan can hear the trembling voice of the maid in the distance and a while he cannot hear a response, the sound of steps announce the arrival of this 'Lord Ravion'.*

-Ravion upon hearing about a strange presence on the balcony, goes to take a look. What is it that can surprise him today…-

-When he spots Morgan, who’s certainly at where the maid told him…-

… Good heavens.

How did you get here?

-This is someone he doesn’t recognize— No. This is someone who does not belong here. He dresses much too differently even from the commoners.-
