PGI: Reyson

As if entranced by the will of one man, the flames danced around him in the most graceful manner. He showed full confidence in his abilities to command them. Snapped his tome shut, the ring of flames dispersed into a shower of rose petals and gently fell to the ground. His tome rested on his side while his other hand rested on the hilt of his sheathed blade. A proud smirk appeared on his face as he introduced himself.

"It is a pleasure and honor to be given this opportunity! I am Duke Reyson Caelum Wodring, son of Revan; heir to his name, Regent of Marinus; Duke of Valos, the Magister and second in command of Poverty Guild, Imperator of Grimoires for the Songweaver's Vanguards, and lastly, the mastery of all types of magic has earned me the right of Grandmaster of Friege."

He gave a solemn bow to accompany his bright smile. "Feel free to ask questions and I will answer them as best as I can."

Sako: "So, what's Red - wait, deja vu..."

"Red as in--Wait a second! I already answered this question already!"

Tegan: "What would you fight for? And what would you *kill* for?"

"I fight for a brighter tomorrow. To protect my love ones, I will take up arms."

Fuka: "Regent, if y-you... if you could allow me to ask... My offer f-for war games was off-handed, as I'm s-s-sure you have long since... s-since realised, but were w-we to make serious plans for it, what is your ex... expertise in th-the realm of... of t-tactics?"

"That would be--Ah." Reyson smiled, having formed an idea. "Perhaps we can have a war game and actually show it off instead. Though, if all the manner seemed too much, a simple war board game will do."

Erin: "What do you see in the future of the Order of the Blue Rose?"

"The future of the order....." Reyson cups his own chin, thinking. "I believe it will grow with more influence, but also inviting to those who don't share the same values. I feel the future will bring the Blue Rose more onto the map with events to come."

Bree: "Either you must give up your ability to read and wield tomes of magic, or the touch of blade, bow, and spear becomes anathema to you. Which would you choose?"

"Ah. Interesting choices. I'd pick the touch of the weapons instead. Magic is very important to me."

Joyce: "Wha' wouldja think if the world wen' the way of Evans? Y'know, oustin' the ol' guard, rulin' based on greed - sorry, merit an' allat?"

"Hm...I have a fair knowledge knowledge of Evans, but to not an extent. Would you care to explain more on it?"

Joyce: "Well... simple, innit? They ain't got nobles there any more. Did away with 'em. 'Outdated concep'' an' allat. Whaddya think of it?"

"Hm...If you put it that way then I think the world would be more interesting. To not have an inherit status can mean a world more with growth. There will still be people trying to best each other, but probably on a better playing field."

Flamy: Is it true that you and Quadra have a relationship beyond purely business?

"Of course. Aside from being my retainer, he is one of my closest and well trusted friend. "

Flamy: First/current impressions of Kassandra Arahan?

"From the moment I saw Kassandra, I already did not have a good impression. Involved in a fight near the shrine and making an enemy of many...that is truly something to think about. I met her a couple more times after that and I believe in those brief moments, I saw a side I didn't believe I would see or anyone to see. She looked lost and weakened despite her attempts to ward me off with force. I wanted to save her life and help her. I still do. But you may ask...Why? Why is she worth helping? The answer lies in wanting to understand a person like that. I don't know what she has been through and only know what I have seen. Perhaps some point, she can understand that not everyone is out to harm her..."

Flamy: Do you deny any allegations that you are, in fact, secretly a dragon?

"Deny? Why would I ever deny my heritage!?" Reyson pumps his chest out, grinning. "Us Wodrings pride ourselves as dragons. That is our family symbol, of course."

Rena: "You're not even close to being a dragon..."

"Not one like you see." Reyson waves his hand. "Its much more in depth with the whole family thing. I'm not a manakete or anything. But dragons are very a important symbol for the Wodrings."

Nayrri, Lady of Fire: Wodrings are.... dragons?

"The Wodring house sigil is a dragon. We aren't really dragons like manaketes."

DragonFlare: What are your impressions of Duke Evans now that you've met him?

"Now that I met Duke Evans, I felt he was very shy and lack that confidence compared to his counterpart Lady Vein. Im sure his determination lies within him. My support for him has not changed. I would rather I get to know him more."

Guillermo: "Y’know, shouln’ a leader’a th’ people put ‘is time t’, yknow, *leadin’* th’ people, as ‘posed t’ braggin’ ‘bout ‘imself, no matter how ‘orrible an’ unqualified ‘e may be at it? Ah, but  ‘sides that, since I’m ‘parently s’posed t’ ask some sorta question: what’s th’ point’a ‘avin’ so many’a them titles, anyways? How many of ‘em d’ye even ‘ave ‘n total?"

"Being in a position such as this, I am fully aware of what responsibilities it carries. I am devoted to this position despite what others may see. I give myself time management. As for the titles, they are earned through hard work or given to me by birth. They are a testament to my achievements.  As of now, twelve is under my belt. I am proud to have them."

Guillermo: "Well, if’n you think tha’ way, I s’pose yer more of a noble than I’d expected. A’right, next question: Why’s it that you ain’t off in Friege, as ‘posed t’ meddlin’ in this foreign land? What got ye t’ invade our good country, instead’a takin’ care’a things back there? How’s that even work, jus’... rulin’ part of a country, an’ yet ‘avin’ affiliation t’ another? Ain’t that some sort’a... conflict of interest er summat?"

"Thank you." He pauses. "I was invited here by the king. I didn't come here to invade of the sort and only found good company with those within the guild. I learned what kind of place Marinus was and I enjoy living here. If anything, what made me accept the position was because I considered Marinus a home for me and I will fight for this home. I believe that you dont have to be born from the said land to serve it. As long as you have the will, the love for the land and the action to serve, you are worthy. "
"My duties in Friege are given to my father. My family are supporting with my decision and understand my actions."

Red, Flame Paladin: Well I've had someone steal the question, my question be ignored, and failed to be answered. It's time to try again with this very important question:
Red, Flame Paladin: How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll™ in the center of a Tootsie Pop™?
Red, Flame Paladin: ~~Also was that Ignis. My boy, stop proccing your skills outside of combat~~

"A one, a two, a three--Just kidding. I don't know myself. You should give me one and I'll find out."

Dornar: "How do you feel about Old Loptyr and his followers?"

"It is not news to me of Old Loptyr's ways. I lived in Friege and I had already knew from books and exposure. While I don't condone what acts they have done in the past or even this present, I believe that judging people through their religious belief is wrong.  I want to understand why Loptyr does have followers and why they go so far to continue this worship. However, no matter what religion, when it comes to breaking the law and harming people, no one is above it."

Dornar: "Fair enough. Why do you think Manster happened?"

"It happened because actions of many led to where it is now whether those actions are good or bad...a ripple effect."

Dornar: "How do you feel about succession? Specifically, if you knew someone was about to take a throne based on lies made whole cloth, would you let it happen?"

"Those worthy to take hold of the mantle to be next in line must mean they have had trust and confidence with the previous ruler. If it were the case, I would want something done. The position has the power to affect lives of everyone within the kingdom, however, there are limitations like if this scenario were to be from a different kingdom, then that is a whole different approach."

Dornar: "How would you make the world a better place?"

"Through my actions and choices. It may look like a small step, but even the smallest step can lead to bigger ones in the future. That being said, when I took the role of Duke of Valos, that is one of my contributions to help people. I know I can't reach everyone in the world, but atleast those who I can affect is good enough for me."

Dornar: "What would you say is the difference between a noble and a peasant?"

"Hm.....Where you are born and what the world believes you are entitled to."

Quadra: "Ahem, I understand this isn’t a question, but if anyone makes you feel uncomfortable at any point of the interview milord, please allow me to remove them from the premises....."
[4:53 PM] Cloaked Youth: :GWnanamiTsukihiSmile:

"Ah! Thanks for always looking out for me, Quadra! I understand. Hopefully it doesnt come to that point so enjoy this moment with me."

Quadra: "Can I have a raise?"

"With how exceptional you have been working, you deserve one. If that is what you want, I don't mind giving it."

Quadra: "If you could pick one moment and say ‘this made me who i am’ what would be that moment?"

"When I left the military and head to Marinus. I have an undying loyalty to those who I see fit to rule and when I saw the true nature of it's course, I had to make a tough choice. I don't regret it one bit. It is where I am."
____________________

Ciraxis: How do you cope with your profound lack of leadership ability?

"Very amusing. I know I am not omnipotent. I know I have weaknesses and strengths. In the position that I am, I rely on those around me who are capable of doing what I cannot do. In the end, its more than just me leading, its everyone working together to get things done."

BunnyBunnyUguu: When are you going to give Quadra a raise and provide medical?

"Quadra's health is my utmost priority. He gets medical when he needs it. As for his pay, if Quadra has a problem, he can talk to me about such matters. I don't think he has ever brought such a concern though."
[5:20 PM] Regent Reyson: I ALREADY PAID HIM THIS MONTH!!

BunnyBunnyUguu: What are your opinions on the heavenly grace that is... lap pillows?(edited)

Reyson scratches his cheek, blushing. "They are comfortable."

BunnyBunnyUguu: Who is your favorite lap pillow? :catpeek:

Reyson's face turned red, showing embarrassment. A name comes to mind, but his response didn't spoil it.  He smiled. "Next question."

BunnyBunnyUguu: How many bits on the side do you have hidden from view?

Reyson raised a brow, confused. "What do you mean?"

BunnyBunnyUguu: Since our dull-witted Lord Reyson does not understand this vernacular, I will put this question into words that are more easily understood. How many people are you currently romantically involved with, other than Lyliacae and Quadra?

"My romantic relationship is one I value with privacy. If you really want to know, I'm sure your imagination can draw you an answer."
[6:09 PM] Regent Reyson: Legend says Reyson's harem grows to this very day.

BunnyBunnyUguu: How do you survive life with your airheadedness? It seems like you cruise along and somehow everything falls into place. Do you think this luck is going to end sometime soon?

Reyson chuckles, amused. "I just do what I can with what I am given. I don't consider it luck, just a series of events unfolding from my actions."

BunnyBunnyUguu: Do you intend to become a homewrecker? I’m sure a married woman or two have caught your eye. :smuganna:
BunnyBunnyUguu: Also, Sarasviel or Adyr? Choose one!

Reyson blushes furiously. "What are you implying? I'm not that kind of person." He looks to the side. "I am not on the same eye as those Sarasviel nor do I have much of an opinion on Adyr."

BunnyBunnyUguu: That's... not choosing one. I take it that in the upcoming [redacted] conflict that you will remain neutral and stay out of it?

"Most likely. What happens there relies on them."

BunnyBunnyUguu: Even if it may embroil your sister in conflict? :thonk~1:

"My involvement will not only bring me in, but others. It may look cold or selfish, but I trust them."

BunnyBunnyUguu: For someone so important, why do you only have a handful of retainers?

"I'm actually quite picky about it. I wouldn't mind having more, but honestly, the ones I already have are doing a wonderful job. I haven't gotten to a point where I go 'I need more'."

BunnyBunnyUguu: Do you miss Fyarae? If you could, would you go back?

Reyson stares off to the side for a moment, thinking back of Fyarae. A nostalgic smile appeared on his face when he looks back. "I do miss Fyarae. If I had the opportunity, I would go and visit at least. I've been keeping in touch with my family through letters so I am not that out of the loop with the events back home."

Izaya, Information Broker?: Those are some nice titles you got there. Would be a shame if someone were to... slander them. Hehehe.

"Yes it would be a shame."

Kassandra Arahan: Has there ever been something you truly loved and that was unjustly taken away from you?

"There was a moment where I felt that. So, yes. It made me learn that the world was not fair."

Kassandra Arahan: Then tell me. Tell me what was it that was taken from you. Would you not want to take it back? Or if that can not be done, force those that caused you pain to go through a similar grief?

"My belief and my previous insight on the world. Its not a material, but it changed me."   Reyson shook his head. "Manipulating and using force is what I don't condone. My own experience is my own. Sure, people can confide with each other to get through similar experience, but its not always the same. Instead, with the experience I have, I use it to inspire people, never force."

Kassandra Arahan: What is it that you want from me, that you want to 'help' me to get it? I can not understand you.

"To understand you. We both don't understand each other and want to know. I believe the more we cross paths I will figure that out."

Kassandra Arahan: For what purpose?

"Why you chose these actions."

Kassandra Arahan: I did what I did because there was nothing else for me. What does it matter to you? Why is it that you care?

"Like I said, I just want to understand you."

Vein: "Oh! Good Sir Duke! I'm ever so thankful to have this opportunity to ask you a question! Ahem. I'm so very curious, when I do travel to Valos for my tour, what can I expect to be shown? Perhaps I should be asking about what to pack too."

"Valos prides itself for its wonderful entertainment and plentiful ports. Entertainment such as singers and dancers. We also have a food. Don't pack too much. Something to wear for the travel is just fine. I recommend something comfortable to wear."

Veyn, Heartless Soul: End this jealousy. I'm important too, aren't I? I am, yes, sure am...

Arisu: Why is being a noble so disgusting?

"For a long time now, having a title of noble carries weight. It is something I do not fancy."

Arisu: Everybody says “Take up arms” but I feel taking down legs is more efficient. What are your thoughts on this?

"A mere figure of speech, but I do see the effectiveness."

Arisu: Who is the person you look up to the most?

"My father."

Arisu: How's your father like?

"My father is a very serious man, but he shows affection to his family through guidance and dependability. He is a great teacher, ensuring my sister and I received our education but also discipline."
____________________

Kedata: Rumors have been spreading that King Blitzen has embezzled national funds for trinkets and rings! Surely this is a gross misconduct on part of the King! What are you going to do?

"Rumors are rumors. To my knowledge, I have not known the king to spend such funds on items. He values the land and its people too much to waste money on trivial things, but I ensure you, upon my return to see him, I will make sure I get to the bottom of these rumors."

Kedata: Do you ever feel any sympathy for Ciraxis?

"Its more empathy than sympathy. We both value Marinus greatly, but took different paths. To some extent, I admire him, but that is something I don't want to tell him. I just have this inkling feeling that if he knew that I sympathize with him, he would take it wrongly."

Kedata: Is there anyone you would readily give a hug?

"My sister." He lets out a chuckle.

Kedata: Were you bullied in your childhood?

"No."

Kedata: What, really? I think most people are. If not, they might be bullies themselves. Or they could be both. Is it because of the privileges you have that you have avoided such a thing?

"I am not without such treatment, but it was towards later in my life than childhood, closely to present."

Kei: "Hey. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!"
Kei: "..."
Kei: "I KNOW YOU! YOU'RE FANCY TITLES MAN! BUT YOU HAVE MORE TITLES NOW THAN YOU TOLD ME!"
Kei: "Since you have so many titles, does that make you, like, a SUPER NOBLE?! Since NOBLES are known to have FANCY TITLES, so if you have SO MANY, that means you are a NOBLE among NOBLES!"
Kei: "If I have twelve titles can I become a noble too?! I tried getting a milk mustache to look more like one, but that didn't worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk!"

"It is nice to see you again, Kei. " Reyson chuckles. "To my knowledge, I don't think Super Nobles are a thing, but it does make you seem you are a cut above others."
"To be a noble takes more process than have titles under your belt! You don't have to look the part to be the part. I would make a milk mustache with you for fun if you want for the next time we meet."

>a food
Kei: "WOAH! WAIT, I JUST HEARD THAT! You have... a SINGULAR FOOD? How's that different from normal food?! Or are you just a really really really really weird talker?! Maybe like how Arathil is weird!"
Kei: "Hah. It should be plural! I can sometimes give a mistake now and then."

Kei: "You mean like when you give people food you cook?!"
Kei: "At least, that's what I hear other people call the food that you cook."

Reyson lets out a laugh. "Perhaps I can cook you some food and you can be the judge of that."

Tsukiko Fluorspar: I will honor our friendship and reserve my comments on a noble's “weight”. On that note, Quadra needs a raise.

"I value our friendship. I am used to comments about nobles, the good and bad."
He is getting a raise!

Tsukiko Fluorspar: What is that which you fear the most?

Reyson crossed his arms, deep in thought.  "Regret and loss."
____________________

Natalie Silvergrace: I have noted your views on miss Arahan... ah, speaking of, she just passed by. Either way, I am happy to hear such empathy.
Natalie Silvergrace: Difficult questions yet remain, however. For instance, on whose shoulders does the weight of breaking the cycle of vengeance lie heavily upon?

Reyson nodded, acknowledging her first statement before replying. "Vengeance....Vengeance ends with who bears it. Change starts with yourself."

Callisto: "It is a pleasure to meet you Sir Reyson" She said bowing before him. "My name is Callisto, a Pegasus Knight of Viridel. I must ask, Sir, could you give me some advice in wielding magic? I seem to have much trouble with it, however as a Falcoknight I feel it is my responsibility to be able to wield a Staff."

"Nice to meet you, Callisto!" He cups his chin, thinking. "Upfront, able to wield magic is something not everyone can do. You don't need to be obligated to use it. Tap into the power of the staff. Using magic starts with understanding of how it works and what you want to do with it. Read up on it and practice."

Callisto: "Sir Reyson, I'm currently looking for Pegasus Knights that I could learn from, does Marinus have any skilled ones that you know of that I could learn from?"

"Does it have to be a pegasus knight? I know some amazing fliers. To name a few, His Majesty is one of them, but the first name that comes to mind is my sister, Alysea. She resides in Friege though."

Callisto: "Sir Reyson, I know that I am but a mere knight and you are a quite busy man but, do you think we could meet again sometime? You seem to be a rather enjoyable person to talk to."

"Thank you!" Reyson gives a friendly smile. "I welcome those who wish to meet me. Feel free to visit me."

Callisto: "Have you ever wanted to ride on the back of a Pegasus before?"

"The urge was mainly towards a dragon or wyvern. I wouldn't reject if I was offered though."

YourBestFriendJ0: Do people ever treat you unfairly because of the way you were born? As a noble I mean.

"Of course. I have my own share of such treatment, but it doesn't make me treat others how I am being treated poorly. To many nobles have a sour taste in their mouths."

YourBestFriendJ0: Tell me Regent, do you have any dreams? What do you aspire to do in your life?

Reyson nods. "Of course I do. My family, especially me father, is a very big part of the reason why I wanted to be where I am. That being said, I aspire to follow my father's ideals to be someone who can inspire people to action and to live with and for the people. Meeting those who came into my life, like Quadra and Sona made me really want to continue being with them and protect them." He let out a chuckle. "There is more to it than that, but that is the general base."
"Another dream of mine is to be recognized for my magical talents." He grinned with confidence.

Shinori: :mega_mane~1:

:thonk1:

Shinori: What's your opinion on nerd rena? :02Sip:

Reyson smiles, thinking back of his interactions with her. "I think its very cute. She is very passionate about the subject and I enjoy seeing and being a part of it when I can. I didn't think what we commonly share is about Dragons, but I am glad it is. Seeing this side of her makes me think she is at least comfortable with me to see it. I would never reject indulging talking to her about this subject since I enjoy it myself."

Shinori: How cheap is life?

"I feel this question can be taken in different directions." Reyson raised a brow. "You can't put a price on life. I doubt some mercenaries would share the same sentiment."

Shinori: Would you pay to save a life?  If yes then how much would you pay to save a life?

"I would save them myself. Using money as a bargaining chip..." He shakes his head at the disapproval while his voice trailed.

Shinori: You would save them yourself? You deem yourself all mighty and all knowing? All powerful?  It seems to me like you just avoided the question.  You should know yourself you can't save everyone.

"I'm not going to name a price on someone's life."

Shinori: Let's say I hold a dear friend of yours as a prisoner.  You can either pay ransom to save their life, or I can kill them where you hold no power.
You don't wish to save one close to you?  You are, uh, I can't quite get the word for it...Conceited?  You think you can save everyone without potentially lowering yourself in some situations?

Reyson stares, his expression became serious. "You are heavily assuming things. The intent to save their life is there, just the answer you want to hear from me isn't."

Sarissa: "Mister Reyson, do you believe that society needs the aristocracy and a ruling class?"

"The society is currently used to the system it has for centuries. Does it need it? I wouldn't say it is needed, but rather, It certainly would need something to replace it."

Guillermo: "T’ cite another’a yer answers fer a moment: f’n ye think nobility shoul’ be replaced, why in Naga’s name do you still partake innit? Typical aristocratic hypocrisy... Ah, but I ‘spose another question’d be appropriate... let’s give ye summat simple: What d’ye think’s the greatest part’a this nation that you’ve decided t’ come an’ subjugate?"

Reyson brushed off his previous question, but was willing to answer the other. "What I love about Marinus are the people who reside in it and it's culture. Its different from what I was used to in Friege. Its more...inviting.. One big part that I do admire is the strength and determination Marinus has to value its freedom."
____________________

Grimnir Troy: What sort of differences are there having grown up in Friege but living in Valos now?

"Friege is where I grew up so the absence of my home and my family is one thing. It is certainly more lively in Valos, plus the weather, food and clothing differ. There is a difference within cultures."

Grimnir Troy: At what point do you think striving for peace is a lost cause?

"I am fully aware that this may look like a never ending cycle and peace is not eternal, however, I believe that striving for peace is never a lost cause. It carries on to each generation, inspiring many."

Rena: "Hey, Noble, how was the book I lent you? It's been a while since then now that I think about it, but I want to know your thoughts. Dragons are such fascinating beings, their way of life pulls at my curiousity every time I learn more..."
Rena: "But, yes, to get back on track, I wanted to know your thoughts. (Even if I'll never learn them in reality.)"

"Rena! It has been a while. I finished the book and I certainly enjoyed it!" Reyson said with a bright smile. "I really like the book and it was filled with information that I haven't learned. The next time we meet, I can return it to you."

"You... 'enjoyed it'. That's all?"

"What about the whole chapter on dragonstones? What about the worship of Naga? What about the chapters on some of the first known interactions with their kind?!"

"I mean I like the book as a whole!" Reyson smiled, happy to see Rena nerd out again. "I feel the information on Dragonstones could have more..like how exactly are dragonstones able to be repaired?" He cupped his chin. "The worship of Naga was quite insightful. It did seemed to provide me some familiarity when I went to the Shrine. And as for the first known interactions...." He smirked, pausing. "Heh. I actually like that the most. I think the descriptions of how they became to be connected through that very instance made it easy for me to visualize it."
____________________

Europa: "What is this Marinus? I dont remember such a country ever existing. I have been isolated for quite awhile but, has the world really changed that much?"

"Marinus is a newly established kingdom, formerly controlled by other nations before its liberation. Things always change, some visibly easier to see than others. It is now known to be a kingdom of commerce. If you want to know more about the place I have plenty of books to lend."

Europa: "What are the values of this new nation, why has it come to be? In my time not sealed off from the rest of the world I have seen kingdoms rise and fall. What makes yours so special?"

"Freedom from oppression, money and it's people. It was liberated from the countries who used to milk its resources for their own gain. Now free, it is able to grow to be one of the most richest, both in money and its resources. If anything that stands out aside from the economy is the king is a merchant, a commoner.  The first dukes of the land are not born nobles. They gained their status through their individual strengths, loyalty and skill during the liberation war. Not only that, a guild named the Poverty Guild has a very big authority within the land despite their merchantly expertise. The very same dukes are a part of it."
Reyson seemed like he can go on, but withheld his urge to.

I'll have you know I am the Silver Flash, Righteous Wing, Lord of the Skies, Champion of Snaergard! Your fancy titles mean NOTHING to me! I, Limilnate, hereby challenge you to a duel for the title of ‘Ladies' Man’!”

Reyson stares, but listens to his titles, more specifically the Champion of Snaergard crossed his mind. He knows not to take lightly.

"I do not mind accepting duels, but for the reason to fight for such a title is not to my taste."

Reiji: "Favorite color of magic? Could be one that isn't known by the masses, if you're creative or hopeful."

"If you just wanted a color, I like red."

Alkaid🌠: What inspired you to make Reyson?

If this question is isolated just for Harufe, then Reyson was an inspiration of multiple things: Robin and Reinhardt & Selena (FE8). The rest was my usual relation of someone from the Wodring family. Those who played DnD with me know I do that alot. Aside from that, Reyson is an extension of me, as a person...atleast one side of me. I just like to get along with people and have fun, which I feel Reyson turned out to be.

		Everybody Hates Reyson's Cooking
Ilana: "Reyson dear, when will you cease your culinary exploits via tomes of destruction? Please do show the ingredients their due respect."

Reyson chuckled. "I pride myself in my culinary arts! Its not like I look at the ingredients with disrespect. I just wanted to do things differently in a more efficient manner."

Ilana: "Do you... actually eat what you've cooked? Or taste test during the process? Perhaps you should leave the cooking to Sir Quadra, he seems quite experienced and does have your diet as his priority."

"Well........I have not. But it always exciting to have the thought to just cook for fun. Quadra always offers to cook for me so I am always happy to accept it. He is such a great cook."

Sutara Io: How the actual hell did you think that cooking with the power of the sun was a good idea?

"Weeeeellllllll............" Reyson trailed, having a cheeky smile on his face. "The more natural the food the healthier it is and what's more natural than harvesting the raw power of the sun."

Sutara Io: :squint~2:

Reyson smiles innocently.

Quadra: "With all due respect milord, I believe it to umm... well.... I pride myself upon being your personal chef and thus you should leave it to me.....surely you wouldnt want to take that from me?"

"Really!? Oh! I don't want to take that from you, Quadra!"

Adastrea Nyx: "You cook, milord? I never realized... is there any dish in particular you enjoy cooking?"

"Everything. Whatever comes to mind! Its the spur of the moment." Reyson smirked, nodding.

Adastrea Nyx: "How curious... I guess I'll have to try your cooking once. Unless that's overstepping my boundaries, of course."

"Perhaps one day! I would not mind! Though I highly recommend Quadra's cooking. He cooks so splendidly that I rarely or don't even cook at all."

"Yo, Reyson!" Glaive flashes Reyson a peace sign. "Er, pardon the vernacular, pro'lly should be calling you uh, Duke Valos or whatever, right. Anyways, how's the Guild been? It's been relatively peaceful in Fyarae, for what that's worth." He lowers his voice a little. "Your sis is a wonderful woman, as you said."

"Glaive! It has been a while. No need to be that formal. The guild is doing well! It misses your company in the ring." He winked. "Come back to visit when you can."
Reyson stares at him for a moment to get his intent then smiles. "I told you she is a great person! You'll probably find more common things with her than with me. "

"C'mon, it can't be that vacant without me," Glaive waves off Reyson's flattery. "Won't be able to visit for a while anyways, Duke Jungby needs my help, and you know how I am about loyalty... You should've told me about that damn wyvern, though. I fear the day when she has him follow the two of us, and I have to see him watching me, judging!"
Such a thing would be TRUE DESPAIR, and you cannot force him to think otherwise.

"I am glad you value your duty as much as I do. Poverty Guild always has a place for you on your return." Reyson smirked.
"Must have slipped my mind." He chuckles. "I can part with you this: Elyos always knows. Have fun though!"

"I can't say your words are encouraging me to pursue Lady Alysea, but you are her brother," Glaive smirks back, "But for a wonderful lady as she, I'll not give up on courting her just yet."

"My sister's choice is her own. If she wishes, who am I to stop her? But don't count me out. I am watching."

"That reminds me..." Glaive rubs his chin a little. "You've been titled Magister, but have you been keeping your swordplay sharp? Been missing that style of yours from my life."

"Of course. Having Joshua as my teacher has taught me I should keep up with my training as best as I can. Even an ounce of a slack and he would certainly remind me why he taught me in the first place." He said, ruffling his own hair. "I do my best to keep up with this and magic." Smirking, he motions a finger to Glaive, inviting him. "I'll show you a round or two that my swordplay is still worth to be admired."

"Say, Reyson, you still using that ol' alias you used to have? What was it again, Ray? Reiji? Rey...mond?"

Reyson raised a brow, confused. It clicks to him, but simply shrugs. "Hm...No. Keep it on a down low, will you?"

Glaive snorts. "Fine with me. Long as you're holding up your end of the deal with my horse's name."

Reyson chuckles. "Fair."

"Hello! It's lovely to meet you," Nayu says, bowing her head slightly. "What is the Guild library like?"

"Well met, Nayu!" He gives her a respectable bow. " It is a lovely place. I helped made it, donating books alongside many others who share the same interest. It is vastly huge and filled with plenty of books from all around the world and time. Perhaps you can find a book you have not read before if you get to see it yourself."

		A Note?!
Someone's left a note, addressed on one side: For Reyson.
It reads:```
are you content with the state of the world?
and, what would change that?```
It's unmarked, otherwise. It's fairly unclear how it even got here.

Reyson sees the note and takes a hold of it. He looks around in hopes to find who was the source but to no avail. He reads the note....
"Although I am indeed, I suppose you would say, happy with how things currently are, there are many things that I believe can still improve . Whether it be big or small, anything that I do can and often will effect the world, especially for those under my jurisdiction regardless of whether I can visibly see these changes or not. I wanted to make a change with the use of my own hands. That is the reason why I am here, where you see me today. The state of Friege and even Marinus... they are what I see myself directly effecting, and in turn, my position and actions can indirectly affect the world as a whole. Despite my satisfaction with the progress made and the peace obtained, it is not enough to be purely content with this for me. With that in mind, I intend to keep on DOING MY BEST??? in order to maintain peace as well as improve the circumstances of those around me and under my watch. The world may be at peace, but it is always wise to be prepared should that change in order to maintain the well being of those unable to handle such a shift.
For changing my view.....Making me see there is a better alternative."
