Birdsie
The God-Emperor of Mankind
Dilate tried to hide his excitement about seeing her again with a cold expression on his face. "Yeah... sorry about what happened. Are you feeling okay?" he asked her almost monotonously. He seems to always act cold around her. "Captain asked me to check on you. This is my childhood friend Conrad... it's alright for him to stay in the palace for a few minutes right?" He asked her. He looked at the floor... then up the ceiling... feeling a cold wave of awkwardness. "Do you... want to go somewhere... I can escort you to the city if you need some fresh air. It's not good to close yourself off in your room all the time..." He blushed slightly but his words were cold... distant.
The princesses face immediatly got sad. He was cold towards her yet again. What had she done to make him hate her? "I dont want to go anywhere. I dont want to waste your time, Dilate.", she murmured. She looked at Conrad. "Interesting. You come from the guild, i suppose?" The princess words were bitter. Her mood had just died a crucial death. "Well, tell Elucifer i am fine. Is there anything else you need?", she said, turned to Dilate again.
Conrad Varentain
Location: Royal Palace
Conrad noticed that the queen\princess suddenly got sad. He did not know the source of this, but it may have been Dilate's cold treatment and expression, nearly as if he just left a graveyard. Or perhaps it was Conrad's fault for mentioning her brother and father. He didn't have warm relations with his family, maybe with a slight exception for his older sister, but he was well-aware that your parents and family are the first people to put trust. Their death could cause grief, and so Conrad decided not to speak, but then Daisy asked him a question. "Yes, I do." he politely answered her question in a humble tone, trying to have a cheerful face, however the atmosphere was extremely awkward anyway.
He decided to change the subject, and perhaps the stiff atmosphere by quickly mentioning their childhood. "Me and Dilate both wanted to be heroes when we were young, actually." he said, but he didn't know if it was the truth. Did Dilate really want to be a part of the Guild? He always wanted to surpass his ancestor, that's for sure. Conrad peeked at his best friend with the very corner of his eyes, to see if he was even remotely correct. When they were younger, they both ran around, destroying criminal organizations and killing dragons, all by themselves. It's quite impressive to say the least, and it wouldn't be hard to guess that both of them were aiming for an adventuring type of career, but then Dilate got the exclusive job in the Royal Knights. "We used to travel all types of places in search of adventure and treasure. We have slain dragons, and helped many people. Truly, the most marvelous days of my life." and gave Dilate a sligth push with his elbow, to make him realize that they should either go, or change the subject, as the conversation was getting coarse, while at the same time trying to smile at the princess as a form of friendly distraction.
