⚔ // stress in solitude

[discutio]

[Once Saturn had left, Ignis took a slow breath to steady himself before standing and speaking again.]

I think we have a fair amount of things to discuss, after that. But we'll also need to rest and recover here; We may be able to take it at Saturn's word that he won't alert Cyrus to us, but overstaying our welcome by more than a couple of days is unwise--that means we need to take advantage of this as much as we can.

[Strategy was easier. The words came naturally, and he was able to hold focus.]

If anyone needs me or wishes to assist, I'll be in the kitchen. I'm aware we just ate, but I presume we'll all be more comfortable if one of our own makes breakfast in the morning.

[Camilla does seem to rise up a bit when she feels the fish go by, but she smiles once she sees Kiryu. She'll bring her feet a little higher, then, so the poor thing doesn't bop into them.]

It's truly dreadful, isn't it? The stars are such bright, wonderful little treats of the night sky; it's such a shame to be unable to see them. The lights of the city are terrible, but it's even worse when it's cloudy all the time...

[takestheblame]

You don't see the stars often either?

[In his case it's because he's always in the city and because he doesn't have time to look at the stars. If there's one thing he has right now is time. Lots and lots of time]

[anythingforyou]

No, not at all; Nohr is known for being a rather stormy country, you see. It's very rare that the clouds clear up enough so that one can see the stars at all. They're such a treat when they are seen, though...

[Like. That's one whole point in this place's favor.]

[takestheblame]

Why's it so stormy? Is it normal, or is something causing all the storms?

[After everything he has heard, it's not unrealistic something may be causing that weird weather in Nohr!]

[anythingforyou]

Oh, it's always like that. Nohr in general is borderline inhospital due to the constant storms and lack of sunlight; that's simply something we as people have grown accustomed to.

[they don't necessarily like it but what can you do, turn the weather off??]

[takestheblame]

[That's just as bad as living in a place with tornadoes and hurricanes. Nohr doesn't sound pleasant at all!]

Surely the people and the places compensate the unfortunate weather.

[There has to be something good in Nohr!]

[anythingforyou]

Oh, make no mistake. They do; Nohr is nothing without the beautiful people who inhabit it. We do live despite such things, after all.
