[ Before all that happened with the cyoa... It's morning! Considering how much Adolphe drank the night before, he seems... functional, to say the least. He's with the christmas presents when he notices Eupha. ]
Oh... hey.
[ He's not good at this. It's not her; it's him. ]
[ adolphe might have seen how very drunk eupha was at the party, or heard one of her fits of giggles, but today? she is seemingly well-rested and bright-eyed again. ]
Well, I might as well have a look. [ she opens the box... and pulls out a poster! she unrolls it to reveal... this! i'm sorry for this poster for ants. but it appears to be a campaign poster, with an image of a man in a very large helmet. ]
It is my brother! From when he was a candidate for the throne. For a time, we had these posters all over our village!
[ you cannot see his face at all, it's just his bigass helmet. the name on the poster is "Edeni" with no last name, and it promises religious freedom. ]
[ He bites back a really pessimistic and rude remark that was about to crawl out of his throat, but like. Eupha? She's sweet from what he's seen. She really doesn't deserve that.
I grew up in an orphanage, so... I guess you could say something like that. I helped raise the kids there and now I'm the oldest that's affiliated with the orphanage aside from the caretaker.
[ He frowns a little upon remembering something, but continues. ]
People say that she's overly pessimistic and submissive, but she has a strong will despite everything. She's observant, smart, and incredibly caring. I... wanted to protect her, but it's not my place to. Not anymore.
Mostly that, yeah. I decided to entrust her to someone that I believed would take care of her.
[ But then he wears a complicated expression...
Anyway, he gets out the photo. There's Adolphe, Yves, Lucas, a girl with short blond hair and a woman wearing nun attire. He shows Eupha the photo and points to the girl with the short blond hair. ]
... It doesn't sound like my chain of events line up with Yves's. But if she does end up living through her current predicament, I hope that she'll be happy.

Oh... hey.
[ He's not good at this. It's not her; it's him. ]
There's one addressed to you. Do you want it?
no subject
Another one? I wonder what it could be.
Will you be opening yours as well?
no subject
I opened it and it has the photo as it did for the first time that I opened one. It's a little weird.
no subject
Oh? What kind of photo?
The first one I opened had a snowglobe, but the second one had some coal! I thought it might be different every time.
[ she does not sound bothered about the coal. ]
no subject
[ ???????????? ]
That sounds random. What use would you have for coal?
no subject
Sadly, it disappeared before I could make use of it...
[ her coal...... ]
no subject
They just keep disappearing, don't they?
[ He eyes the boxes a little warily. ]
But I haven't seen or heard of anything harmful yet.
no subject
Well, I might as well have a look. [ she opens the box... and pulls out a poster! she unrolls it to reveal... this! i'm sorry for this poster for ants. but it appears to be a campaign poster, with an image of a man in a very large helmet. ]
Oh, look at this! [ she sounds excited. ]
no subject
What is this? It sounds like you know what this is.
no subject
[ you cannot see his face at all, it's just his bigass helmet. the name on the poster is "Edeni" with no last name, and it promises religious freedom. ]
no subject
[ He's definitely surprised. Wow. ]
What is he like? It sounds like he's a good man.
no subject
no subject
Instead, he smiles a little. ]
Yeah? You must have been really proud of him.

[ Speaking as an older brother himself... ]

[ He frowns a little upon remembering something, but continues. ]
I also had a younger foster sister.
no subject
What was she like?
no subject
[ since he's dead!! (x2) ]
no subject
[ or another reason? ]
no subject
[ But then he wears a complicated expression...
Anyway, he gets out the photo. There's Adolphe, Yves, Lucas, a girl with short blond hair and a woman wearing nun attire. He shows Eupha the photo and points to the girl with the short blond hair. ]
Her name is Ceres.
no subject
Does this mean she's getting married?
no subject
[ He looks at Eupha like. What. What did you say. ]
no subject
... is that not what that means?
no subject
[ For a second, he thought he was having a heart attack. ]
Yeah. I entrusted her to Yves.
[ He has an expression that seems to imply it's complicated right now, but it's really not. ]
no subject
no subject
[ ????? ]
Why?
no subject
It must be worrying for Ceres, for both of you to be here...
no subject
no subject
... I hope so, too.
