[nodding]

It's stiff. I... don't mind it.

[flameguard]

[ VICTORY HE LOOKS SO PLEASED ]

Heh! One down, one to go. You have to find something for me too, okay?

[allomantic]

Still looking for sleepwear?

[flameguard]

Yes! I have my uniform, so I don’t need much more than that.

[allomantic]

You don't want at least one change? What about when you need to clean the uniform?

[flameguard]

[ …………. ]

Oh… right….

[ stupid boy ]

[allomantic]

...At least one other outfit, then.

[starts looking at the doublets]

[flameguard]

[ listen it's his precious uniform ok. he looks down to make sure he doesn't have any weird stains... and then goes back to looking for clothes for vin. there's gotta be some decent comfy pants in here. ]

It feels a little bad to just take things. [ of course it does ] I wish I had some leaves...

[allomantic]

[gives him a look]

They want to kill us all, the least they can do is give us clothing.

[pauses and then holds this up, looking towards him to gauge his reaction]

[flameguard]

Oh...! Whoa, it's really shiny.

[ it's cool looking!! the look on his face is approval, though he comes over to check it out. ] I haven't worn something this nice since I was really young.

[allomantic]

Not since you were young? Why?

[flameguard]

I grew up with a pretty wealthy family.

[ this is a fucking understatement when i say the [redacteds] are richer than god ]

But... I left all that behind when I came to join the Knights Ardante, so it's been a while. I really just have my uniform and the basics, nowadays. I don't mind! It's just a little nostalgic.

[ he holds the doublet up to himself!! ] Looks like it'll fit okay.

[allomantic]

[pausing, a little confused.]

...Did your family disapprove of you going to join them?

[flameguard]

[ he shakes his head. ]

No - no, not at all. It's a little more complicated than that.

[ he sets the doublet down for now, though he puts it aside, and starts to look through the clothes for vin again. but since rondo is rondo, she won't have to wait too long for him to explain, and inevitably... ]

...The Ravus family has a pretty heavy responsibility - we guard the treasures known as 'dragonstones', along with a few other really important treasures to the realm. Or... we used to, at least - when my sister and I were children, our parents were killed and the dragonstones were stolen from us.

So... it was just the two of us left, from the main family line. And, I had every intention of staying and protecting it, and protecting her, and taking on my duties as the heir to the Ravus name, but... well, I think I told you before, but I joined the Knights Ardante with her blessing. That's a whole other story.

I knew if I let people know that I was a Ravus, I'd be putting myself and her in danger. Plus, I had to give up my name officially to give her the title, so that she could be the head of the household in my stead. [ its the 1500s feminism isn't real ] So, I'm not one anymore.

[allomantic]

...I see.

[after a moment, taking that all in:]

I'm sorry about your parents.

[flameguard]

It's okay. It was a long time ago, now - but thank you, nonetheless.

[ it's sweet. ]

...heh, sorry. I didn't mean to bring the mood down. Here! [ holding up pants!!! ] What about these?

[allomantic]

[looking them over, thoughtful]

The pockets will be useful.

[flameguard]

[ nod nod ]

Mhm, mhm! I thought so too!

[ 2 for 2!!! ]

[allomantic]

[awkwardly, after a moment:]

...Thank you.
