🫀 HAPPY VALENTINES DAY FROM THE PRINCE'S CONVOY TO YOU. SORT OF. 🫀

(The tips from Lucas's etiquette book are grabbed from this lovely video on flirting like a proper Georgian era gentleman.)

△ Lamonte, why's a handsome man with an eminently twirlable mustache and stylish cape like yourself still a bachelor? One would think it would be very easy for a guy like you to pick up ladies at social events, such as the opera, which I'm sure you attend all the time.

DISCOMFORT RATING: 4/10, his continued singleness is awkward to address but he's been addressing it ever since he inherited the Lordship. The haretouched are kind of famous for dying alone so there's a bit of "it is what it is" at play here, too.

Chiding him about being too rural for the opera is probably the thing that's going to frustrate him more.

Golden Boy

Prince Oscar in repose, donning what he calls “casual clothes”. You should probably be afraid of what he considers formal wear.

Can I see full body pics of the characters?

Yes! (You can view these at any time in-game on their respective codex pages. You can also click to enlarge the image there!)

And lastly, your goodest girl:

Is there a fullbody for Kaitos' other/northern outfit?

He doesn't have a colored fullbody in his travel cloak drawn by Dan, but if you're just trying to understand what's going on in the portraits and illustrations, then I got you covered!:

Southern travel clothes usually rely on layers for warmth over innately warm material like wool. If you don't know your destination well, it's easier to add and subtract layers than it is to bring a bunch of different outfits - or that's the idea, anyway. It is a hassle to bring 100 layers with you, though, so if you travel to one place frequently you'll end up ditching the travel cloak for local attire eventually. Kaitos doesn't have that kind of familiarity with the North, so layers it is.

The individual pieces are rather plain, save for the outermost cloak which is made from some kind of treated silk and is more decorative than functional.

Been deep in the Forever Gold concept art mines, so have a redress of good ol' Uncle Kal (with snout mode) as a treat. Originally he was going to be working/living in the Midland under specific circumstances (hence the outfit he first appeared in) but as we developed the story/setting, the place he was supposed to live got cut from the setting. So! Time for some good ol' Southern fashion. Is he wearing pants under there? Don't know, don't want to know!

△ To Elijah, whose the one relative you avoid?

DISCOMFORT RATING: You were on the right track. I'd say a question like this would be a solid 5/10 at least if the phrasing were just a little different. But! He doesn't self-conceptualize as avoiding any of his family members, and thus, a simple "I don't! (:" suffices as a complete answer in his book.

There members of his family that frustrate, confuse, and pain him - individuals whom he would not choose the company of, were they not bound by blood ties... people he minimizes time with... but not anyone he avoids, Elysium no!

Probably most discordant with his moral code and beliefs would be cousin Tari here. I haven't really touched on Tari's existence beyond a passing mention, but those who have followed my work for a long time will be familiar with the idea of him. In short: he is Itaja's twin, and second son by blessed technicality. He's a hedonistic womanizer driven by whims and he wields his power and wealth carelessly. Not Elijah's favorite guy at all.

△ To Itaja,

Do you think you'll ever be happy? Do you think you'll ever be able to live for you and no one else?

DISCOMFORT RATING: Probably like a 7/10 or something, maybe 8/10 on an especially bad day. From his point of view, he has very few choices and no he does not expect to ever be "happy."
