N:   "Always expect the weird in this place, am I right," Heinrich chuckled, and his smile grew when he saw Alcis rush towards him, followed soon by his mother.

"The next time you storm off like that, you better tell me," Maria frowned, to which the son muttered a small apology, but her smile came back and she gave him a peck on the forehead, "Let's go home. Erna, Wolfe, and their parents already went, and I got some stuff to do at home too."

Heinrich nodded, so she turned to Odrus and wished him a nice rest of the night before heading out with her son back home.


M:   Odrus waved them goodbye and headed to his room to get some fresh clothes, going to the bathroom soon after for a nice long soak. Once he was nice and fresh he walked to the library to relax, though he passed by BE and stopped to chat.

"Hey BE, how's your day been, anything interesting happen besides Saxon being chased by Shen again," he asked cheerfully, completely unaware of what happened nearly an hour ago.


N:   "Snowball fight," BE began to list as he nonchalantly flicked through his papers, "Oh yes, and Mandoria brought in a country whom I've never seen before, the young lad looks like a mixture of Prussia and Mandoria, and be careful when you go past or in the infirmary since there's a manticore there too. Otherwise, the boring stuff has been going on as usual."

When he finished checking, he looked up and smiled, "What about you? How was your day?"


M:   Odrus blinked, unable to process everything that happened at first, "um, definitely not as interesting as your day."

He took a moment to reorient himself and cleared his throat, "Anyway, not much happened, just the usual people coming in for a drink or a meal, though there was a guy that was just passing through who gave me the creeps. He wasn't anyone special, just a hunter stopping in town for a beer, he was just really off-putting."

He cast a quick glance at the papers, "that's a lot of homework, do you need help with any of it?"


N:   "Nah, I'm used to the workload," BE replied as he ruffled through the papers before pulling one out, "Actually, I would like to ask, are you alright to meet the other countries and empires since," he turned the piece of paper around to show a list of countries, "there would be quite a few?"


M:   Odrus hummed as he looked through all the names, "I think I'll be fine, It's Esha that I would be concerned about, she hates crowds and can be easily provoked when under stress, she said she'll do her best to tolerate it but I would still keep an eye on her and have a quiet space prepared just in case she gets too overwhelmed."

He tapped his chin thoughtfully, "Other than that, I don't think there will be much of an issue. I personally am excited to see how the rest of the world has evolved since the fall of the empire."


N:   "From what you told me, it seems like it has only gone downhill," BE chuckled as he placed the piece of paper neatly back in the pile, "but thank you for telling me; I'll make sure such a place is prepared for Esha if she needs it. However, if she is fine around my Grandma, I think she would go well with her old friends."

Soon a servant came to the empire with a box, telling him that it was delivered to him. "Take it to my office," he ordered, "I'll check on it tonight. By the way, who sent it?"

The servant shrugged before following the Brit's orders, so the empire just sighed, "Just enjoy the rest of your night, Odrus, and check on the others."
