[At first, she's quiet for a little while. She opens her mouth as if she knew what to say before but now that the camera's rolling, she's second-guessing it. And so there's a pause before she starts talking.]

Matthew's gone.

[... and she looks a little confused, as if she never expected to say those words. They sound so foreign.]

... sheesh. Can he ever leave without causing me problems?

Well, now you know.

[A bit of a shrug and she ends the feed.]

Haha, then I take it you have a lot of unofficial matters to attend to, Zen?

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Well, the matter he was tending to before coming here was technically official... but let's just say that it's more important to me personally than it is to the rest of the palace.

I-I guess you could call her that...

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Cuuuuuute!

Obi was watching out for her for you, huh?

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

[This. Is. Awkward.]

Y-Yeah... she's visiting her mother country, so I sent Obi to be her bodyguard while she's there. If time were still passing back home...

Don't worry about it! I'm almost one-hundred percent sure that it's not. There have been enough examples that when you go back, everything's normal and you may not even remember Vatheon.

Ha... like I said, I'm not too thrilled about having my memories tampered with, but it's better than the alternative, at least.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

It's the lesser of two evils. Sometimes you just gotta deal when bad things happen.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Don't I know. I may be a prince, but I'm not sheltered, you know.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

I figured. You're more down to earth than what I'd expect from a prince.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Really?

[A laugh]

Well, thank you, then.
