[There's just a soft little drifting hum echoing after that first bit. As the Radiant wills it, huh... Another god really needs to step in here and fix shit, good lord.
But he'll glance back at the question, and there's some fondness in the smile he still wears.]
The civilian corps. Adolphe was the leader after the founder passed it on to him... They handled civilian spats and stepped in to protect the populace any time it was needed. We had the Royal Guard as well, but they were rather useless.
[ the way this is so specifically tailored to his interests and it is in the SADDEST CONTEXT ]
Oh... how... what a wonderful thing to do. [ his smile is genuine, too, though it is far more melancholy than usual. it reminds him for a moment of home. adolphe would have fit right in, in iria. ] It is good, that the people would care for themselves in the face of incompetence...
[ he also thinks maybe the royal guard also needs to be flipped off just a little bit. ]
And... a heavy responsibility for him to have born, yet - not so far of a step up, from the big brother of an orphanage. [ oof. his heart aches the minute he says it. ] I can nearly picture it.
[AAAAAAAA TAKES YOU OUT IN MY VIOLENT FLAILING WE DIE TOGETHER
But yeah! It sure is just. Another elder brotherly sort of role, just to the population at large instead of his siblings from the orphanage. Hateful! He is tired.]
Isn't it just? Yves was also a member from fairly young, I believe... The two of them alone always made the streets feel safer.
[NO THANKS TO THE ROYAL GUARD!!!!!]
I do think he had a penchant for defending and protecting others in general... Those were roles he frequently took on, after all.
[ beats you and haki up "why aki" idk man catch strays
there's a very soft huff of a laugh. ] A golden hearted young man.
And... one taken from us, too soon. [ the statement comes out of his mouth like a belated reminder to himself, quietly solemn. it was all he saw over his time in jiaoqiu's memories. senseless, pointless, death and loss, with nothing you could do about it. ]
...Yves said this is the second time he's lost him.
The smile stays in place, though; soft, sorrowful, fairly even-keeled. Fading only just the very slightest bit at the mention of his early loss, and then just the tiniest bit more when speaking of Yves.]
...Yes. Adolphe died before the both of us. His loss was as senseless and tragic then as it is now. For Yves to have to endure it again, as well... It's another, horrible tragedy.
...Will the two of you be alright, Lucas? [ yves, but... he glances sidelong at the fade in lucas' smile. ]
I know - that you are the one of you that must remain steadfast, but if you are sad, there is no shame in letting your sorrow go. Or... at least, I won't tell anyone, if you do.
The smile doesn't drop, but again, there's some of that warmth and gratitude.]
Thank you, dear... The two of us will be alright, yes. [He does at least sound sure about that.] And you can rest assured that I'm letting myself feel my sorrow, though I do appreciate your kindness. It's the least I can give to Adolphe.
