Ha! I lived in the royal castle so yeah no shoe shortage there
It was mostly a looooot less crowded! The castle could be pretty busy but we never had all these people living so close together. Why I like going out to the Wilde myself. more like home to have the forests and the wide open valleys
I understand though. The village I lived in didn't have many people either, so being here is really a shock... It's hard to imagine so many people living in one place like this.
[Soren could say, as it was just briefly true, yes, but he wouldn't feel good about it. His father taking the throne the way he did... Soren didn't think that made him much of a prince. Claiming as much wasn't right, especially with the true princes returned to where they belonged.]
Nah, I was a knight! A Crown guard! which is the best kind by the way. Means I protected the King himself. [of that, Soren could be proud of!]
Oh! A warriors then. Like a samurai. That sounds amazing. You're really impressive.
[Or something like samurai, anyhow? Whatever close enough.]
I liked it. I was never allowed to leave before, so it was my whole world. I didn't have anything else to compare it to. But honestly if I was with my sister, anywhere would be great.
The people were afraid of us but they respected us too. But it was lonely. It's nice now to see a new place I never would've been able to before. So I can't say I dislike this place much either.
Thank you! I worked by BUTT off to get as good as I am. Ever since I was a kid I've been training. Paid off though.
[Impressing! A! Girl! Heck yes, that'll just make Soren's day, a simple lad]
Now you're the one that sounds like royalty! What could people be afraid of little you for? You're so cute! [whoops, he typed that and then hit send way too quick, not even thinking. Soren stares at that text, making a face... hopefully that wasn't too much]
[She imagines it WOULD take a lot of hard work and dedication. It's impressive! She wishes she had that kind of dedication to something.
She also has no idea how to respond to being called cute. Help?? So it takes her a couple minutes to reply to the main point. Don't worry she'll get back to the 'cute' bit in a minute]
I don't know if I'd go that far. But our father WAS the head of the village and the ceremony master.
But it's because I'm a twin. Twins are like deities on earth, and our job is to protect the village. So there's a lot of awe there, but also fear. I guess it makes sense? I don't know. I never questioned it except to think it didn't seem fair. But I had my sister, so I didn't really care if the rest of the village did or didn't like me.
[Good job making Soren sweat for a few minutes, he really deserves it for that one.]
Whoa! I don't think I ever met a twin. Far as I know they're just kinda normal back in Katolis. Yknow like rare but not magic or anything I don't think. I have a sister too but she's younger than me. [they talked about this, didn't they... both missing their siblings, waiting and hoping for them to appear through the mirrors one day. Soren appreciates that someone knows how he feels about that, it could be difficult for him to admit as much, wanting to pretend he was more macho than that. He's not. He's absolutely not that macho]
You're making friends here, right? I got your back if you need anything

That's right, I remember we talked about siblings a little.
I think I'm alright. I've never really had friends outside my sister before, so I don't know if I know what really makes someone a friend. But people have been nice. I've been having fun.
Her names Claudia. She's a TOTAL dork but that's kinda whats best about her. She knows a ton of stuff you can always get an answer to a tough problem from her. I'm muscle and she's brains sorta thing.
Not that I'm dumb! She's just always been better at studying and putting stuff together, you know?
