26. [ RL with Larsa ]

[areyoulovers]

[ Mileina's waiting outside a Union theater; ever since the elevator collapse, the AEU had become a bit more difficult to get to quickly, so the west coast of the Union had become her preferred port of call. She's wearing a sweater and a short denim skirt with leggings, playing with her phone while she waits for Larsa to appear ]

Mr. Larsa, I can't come in! That's the boy's dressing room!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. [He steps out, appropriately dressed (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cNGw_mdqLp4/STmJuTa0HUI/AAAAAAAAAQY/vjWGSrx0OqE/s400/Ads_Gap_The+Cord+Blazer+%28$88%29,+worn+by+Hugh+Dancy.jpg) for the occassion. He had grabbed a scarf from the changing wrack that was in the room (the poor sod had to find something else, THANK YOU).] Am I wearing right? [Turning around figure out if he does. So odd wearing something without a belt for a sword or pockets for items.]

[areyoulovers]

[ she claps her hands together in delight ] Oh, I guessed right! I knew my engineer's eye would help me pick the right sizes! You look very handsome, Mr. Larsa!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you. It is rather odd to wear so little gear, I must say. [Then he remembers that she'd have to pay for him.] I am quite afraid that I do not have any gil to pay you. [Then he remembers that he's wearing a pair of sapphire earrings, reaches to take them off and hand them to her.] This should be enough to pay you back.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, n-no, that's all right, Mr. Larsa! For one thing that would be far too much, and for another I really have plenty of money! [ TRIES TO FIRMLY GIVE THEM BACK sobbb ]

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

Oh no, do not worry. Mayhaps they would look better on you? [He closes her hands around them.]

[areyoulovers]

[ larsa you are flustering her ): ] But I don't even have pierced ears, Mr. Larsa! It's really too much!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

Forgive me, almost everyone in Ivalice has pierced ears. [Walking away without taking them back 8D]

[areyoulovers]

Oh, well that's-- Mr. Larsa, come back! [ YOU TRICKSTER!! she runs after him, pouting a bit, then runs back, grabs the discarded clothes from the changing room, and catches up with him around the counter ] You're much too generous, Mr. Larsa! I know you're an emperor, but really!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[o3o Oh, where did we come from? Over here?] Hmmm? [What was that? He offers a small smile before shrugging it off.] Please, consider it as a thank you for getting me out of the palace.

[areyoulovers]

[ :T!!! She talks to the woman at the counter to arrange for him to wear the clothing out of the store, and taps her phone on the paypad before folding up his discarded tuxedo jacket and pants and taking the proffered bag for them. Only when they're leaving the store does she come back to the topic ] Is it very troubling, having to be the Emperor?

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[He is soooo out of his element. There's a moment of surprise before he grabs the suit and jacket.] Stay here, I will return these to the palace.

[He grabs a small crystal from the pocket of his pants before he disappears for literally two minutes before he returns.] Ah, yes, what were we talking about?

[areyoulovers]

...I'm not sure I remember!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[A good thing too. He felt bad for doing that on purpose, but his feelings about being Emperor or how he became one was something he rarely talked about to anyone.] Then, shall we?

[areyoulovers]

Hmm? Oh, yes, of course, the movie! [ and we're walking :D She remembered what she wanted to ask really, but Mr. Larsa isn't the sort of person to leave in the middle of a conversation by accident ]

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[He offers her his arm so that he may escort her. Larsa is such a gentleman 8)] This will be my first time seeing a movie, I am quite excited.

[areyoulovers]

Well, it's a very exciting movie! [ WHAT TO DO WITH THAT ARM she's getting flustered again so she translates that into talking VERY ENTHUSIASTICALLY ]

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[... Oh. He takes it as THEY ARE NOT ON A DATE. So, he's somewhat relieved and he just starts walking himself.] What is it about?

[areyoulovers]

[ well we're not, right? right??? ] Celestial Being, of course! Have I told you about them?

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[RIGHT. RIGHT.] I do not believe so, no.

[areyoulovers]

Hmm, well! [ exposition go!! hand gestures and everything ] Let's see, they first appeared in 2307. And their goal was to eradicate war! Mostly what people saw were four Gundams-- well, it varies, actually, because of various upgrades, and I think the general confirmation was of seven distinct units, but at the beginning it was four. And those Gundams were the tools to stop fighting and unite the world!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[For a moment it sounds like something that Vayne would have loved; man controlling man's destiny and stopping war. Tool to stop war? Larsa keeps his face interested as he considers the nature of the "Gundams"] A novel idea, is not? A world without war and one. Did they intervene in battles?

[areyoulovers]

Mm, yes! And then they also fought against the corruption of the A-laws... oh, but I shouldn't tell you too much before we see the movie! It isn't really very accurate to life, so you would just end up confused!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[An excited nod.] Oft times, reality isn't exciting enough for the story. [Wouldn't he know.]

[areyoulovers]

And of course... war isn't a very lovely thing. The movie seems to be meant for everyone to enjoy, which means at times it doesn't take fighting very seriously.
