[ Lukius has been around for a bit, settling himself into Luceti, and while he's spent a lot time lurking on the journals today's his first attempt at actually posting to them. He starts simple enough with a written post, feeling slightly sheepish about the questions. ]

How many of you have a Church or similar in your worlds? Can you tell me about them?

[ He's more than a little curious about the way things are run outside of Areulla, especially considering how well that seemed to go over for them. A few moments after, he switches to voice. ]

If there are others from Areulla here, those who are friends with Caius should know he's arrived safely.

[ And this is hesitation. ]

[ filtered from rommy — but it's a measly 20% or so ]

A young girl named Rommy has also arrived here from my world. She ... may appear harmless, but I'd like for all of you to keep in mind she's not what she seems.

That is all.

[Oh good, this means he doesn't have to rise up to Lukius' doucheness and kick up another argument. Getting along is fun.

Give him a moment, this is quite a lot to take in. Sure he knew the King was involved after what the Pope said but not what his involvement was exactly.]

So it wasn't to bring people back at all. [Which means someone, probably the King, convinced the Pope that's exactly what it did.] It sounds like we got pretty far if we ended up going on to stop the King. Were you going to go with us?

[If he was tired, injured injured and then helped fight Rommy he can't imagine he would let his brother continue on in order to protect him.]

[ Man, Caius can probably hear the pout in Lukius' voice — ]

I wanted to. You wouldn't let me.

[ ... And he knows it was a bad idea in the first place, but damnit it was his battle, too, Caius. ]

Sounds about right. I couldn't let you go in that situation. [Good job future self.]

[Voice]

[refused]

I'm sure you could have used the additional support, though. The King is no pushover.

[ ... He'd guess. ]

But you were hurt and tired out, no one would let their brother go on to fight even more.

[Out of all the other people he knows with brothers-- no one.]

Leaving me on the snowy mountainside wasn't the kindest choice, either.

[ Jerk. :c ]

[...Welp.]

It's the kinder of the two things, having you wait instead of you coming along and only getting more hurt!

[He's sorry? /brohug]

[Voice]

[refused]

What if my coming along would be the decisive factor in the battle? I don't know yet whether or not you were successful.

[ Not that he doubts his brother or anything, but ... well, he doubts his brother. A little. ]

[...]

We'd handle it. The King would be stopped along with anything else he might have had planned!

[This party doesn't run on doubt. This is why you're getting left out in the cold.]

[Voice]

[ Well sorry he doesn't want to throw anyone's life away!! ]

Is that truly what you believe?

[ Can't tell if admirable is just really fucking stupid. ]

[Voice]

[accepted]

[Sorry doesn't cut it. You need a little more faith in your older bro!]

Yes. If the King needs to be defeated to set everything right then I'll stop at nothing to see the King dealt with!

[Three parts admiration, one part stupidity. That's a nice balance.]
