week 4, thursday, stable

[shaft]

[ He's just going to come out and say it. ]

Is it supposed to be romantic with three people?

[duranduel]

[Mandricardo is just. Looking between the two with Nervous Dog Energy.]

It...can be....I guess..................there are relationships like that.....

[shaft]

[ Stares back at Mandricardo. ]

My father has several wives, but I really can't remember if he ever went on dates with more than one at a time.

[duranduel]

Wow.

[CLAUDE'S DAD GOT GAME]

Maybe it was awkward for the wives to be in the same place...

[shaft]

I don't think they disliked each other...

[ thinking deeply about this ]

[duranduel]

Maybe they were having their own dates without him...

[mandricardo just into the concept of lesbians everywhere as they should be]

[txt]

Aren't you royalty, Riegan-san? It's not uncommon for men in high places to collect women as a symbol of status, for cultural reasons or religious beliefs. This is known as a harem, and—

[She keeps going... Please shut her up.]

[shaft]

I wouldn't call it a "collection"...

[ He looks a little uncomfortable. ]

[duranduel]

[:I]

Me neither...Ichinose...please....even as a king that's a little too much...

[txt]

Oops! Sorry, sorry. I guess that wasn't right of me. What about... his gaggle of wives? Hm, the wife cauldron? Or, oooh, a beloved army.

[She's just saying words now.]

[shaft]

They're just his wives. Is it normal to talk about parents' love lives on a three-way date?

[duranduel]

We're going to depths of awkwardness I have yet to experience...

[.......]

Um. Anyways. Want to....do something?

[txt]

Didn't you bring it up...

[She's innocent, officer.]

What did you have in mind?

[shaft]

[ Ignores that. ]

A nice romantic ride along the beach?

[duranduel]

[PERKING UP.]

Oh, I like that. I haven't had a chance to ride the horses.

[txt]

Sans the beach, of course. But a romantic ride along the lazy river doesn't sound quite as good.

[shaft]

[ he looks struck ]

That's a great idea, we'll ride along the lazy river.

[duranduel]

[.....]

Um, I think the lazy river is just fine. So what Claude said.

[txt]

Then it's a date!

[...]

I don't know how to ride a horse.

[duranduel]

[Almost instantly, before Claude can speak.]

You can ride with me.

[alpha mandi strikes back...]

[shaft]

[ Don't worry, Claude's been thirdwheeling Dimitri and Edelgard for years. ]

You'll be in safe hands.

[ So I guess they are giddying up then! Nice horsies.... ]

[txt]

[Remember kinder times when Mandi was an alpha and not totally dead inside.]

Ahaha, alrighty! Just don't drop me, okay? My life is in your hands.

[Time to ride some horsies along the soon-to-be corpse river.]

[duranduel]

[Sometimes you are both an alpha AND dead inside!]

[But he'll offer her his hand, and they'll go to the stable.]

I guess you come from the modern world, right, Ichinose? So they have cars instead for transportation...

[shaft]

[ Claude meanwhile, will grab his own horse. ]

Do you guys know what happened to that horse that was injured?

[txt]

[She accepts his hand, following behind.]

No. Do you think it died...?

[duranduel]

I would hope not. Horses are hardy creatures. For, well, the most part.

[Getting up on the horse easily, before offering a hand to Ichinose!]
