Elise:
Leo! Hey, Leo!
Leo:
Hello, Elise. What's going on?
Elise:
Oh my gosh, it was so weird!
Leo:
What was weird?
Elise:
The weather! It was raining cats and dogs, but the sun was still super bright!!
Leo:
Oh, I see. You saw a sun-shower.
Elise:
A sun-shower?
Leo:
Yes. There are a few possible explanations. The most likely is that heavy rain was carried from elsewhere by a strong wind.
Elise:
Wow! That's incredible... You're a genius, Leo!
Leo:
Hm? No, not really. That sort of thing is common knowledge, I assure you.
Elise:
Can I come to you whenever I have a question about something?
Leo:
Of course, Elise.
Elise:
Hooray! Thank you so much!

Elise:
Hey, Leo! I have another question for you!
Leo:
Oh? What is it?
Elise:
What did Father used to be like?
Leo:
Hm? What do you mean?
Elise:
Xander once told me that Father used to be really different, but he didn't say more. So I was hoping you could tell me what kind of person Father was back then.
Leo:
Hmm. Well, before Queen Arete passed away, I'd say he was a gentle father.
Elise:
Gentle?! No way! I can't even imagine him like that.
Leo:
I know. If I were you, I wouldn't believe it either. But I used to be fond of Father. He even gave me piggyback rides whenever I asked!
Elise:
What?! I'm so jealous! He never treated me like that! What else?!
Leo:
He was a courageous person. He'd even ride out to battle on the front lines. Obviously, I never saw him do so myself, but that's what I've been told. But I did see him spar. He was so strong... I couldn't help but believe the stories.
Elise:
Wow, really? I wanna meet back-then-Father! He sounds amazing!
Leo:
He was. To tell you the truth, I wish I could see him again as well. Let's see... What else did they say about him? Ah, yes. When he was young, they say he never ran out of love stories to tell. Ah, yes. All the girls in the kingdom wanted to be at his side. And they weren't just interested in the throne, either. He was quite the charmer.
Elise:
Heehee! OUR Father? A ladies' man?! It's not possible!
Leo:
I know it's hard to believe now, but he was known as an extremely charismatic leader. Unfortunately, this charisma inspired much chaos among his suitors. There were so many vying for his favor that they frequently turned to violence. Some even turned on members of their own family.
Elise:
What?! How could someone do that to their own family?
Leo:
I suppose they lost all sense of self-control in their effort to rise in position. I agree, it certainly does not speak well of their character.
Elise:
I see...
Leo:
Elise? Are you OK?
Elise:
Huh? Oh, it's nothing! It's almost time to eat. We should hurry before all the best food is gone! Thanks for telling me about Father, Leo.
Leo:
No problem at all.

Elise:
Hey, Leo.
Leo:
Hello, Elise. Do you have more questions for me?
Elise:
Yeah...
Leo:
What's wrong?
Elise:
Well, I was just wondering... Do you think that we'll always get along? Not just you and me, but Xander and Camilla and Avatar too!
Leo:
Hm? Where's this coming from?
Elise:
I was just thinking about your about your story the other day. You said Father's suitors fought with their own family members... Couldn't the same thing happen to us? We have different mothers, after all...
Leo:
That we do. And yes, our mothers were not exactly... well, they weren't the friendliest. Before you were born, the situation was awful, even within the royal family. My own mother used me as a tool to win favor in the court.
Elise:
Leo...
Leo:
It's fine. I never loved her. In all fairness, she never loved me either. I was merely an instrument to her- a lever to pull to adjust the scales of power.
Elise:
I see... I... I think I know how you feel. All my mother cared about was Father. Even when she was dying, she only called out for Father. Not me.
Leo:
Elise...
Elise:
I'm just so worried, Leo. I love you all so much! But how can I make sure we don't ever turn on each other? What if we can't be close like this in the future? That would be awful!
Leo:
Calm yourself, Elise. You're getting carried away again. We'll never be like that. I promise. Whatever our blood ties may be, in our hearts we are truly a family. Nothing could ever change that.
Elise:
Really? You think so?
Leo:
I do.
Elise:
Yay! I think so too!
Leo:
You do? Then why were you worrying yourself about it?
Elise:
Well, I had to make sure! But if YOU agree, then it must be true!
Leo:
You really put a lot of faith in me, don't you?
Elise:
Well, duh! You're super smart! An I know you'd never lie to me 'cause I love you!
Leo:
Is that the reason you trust in me? I'm afraid that's a little naive...
Elise:
Well, I'd rather be naive than not trust my own brother! If I didn't have my siblings... I'm not sure if life would even be worth living!
Leo:
Elise, please... Don't say such things. In any case, so long as at least one of us never stops trusting, we'll be fine.
Elise:
We will?
Leo:
Yes. If any of us siblings began to feel lost, they could always be reminded. Nothing is more important than our family. So long as we hold to this truth in our hearts, our bonds will never break.
Elise:
Wow. That's just what I wanted to hear! Ya know, you're more optimistic than you let on, heehee.
Leo:
...Don't push your luck, Elise. Also, do me a favor and don't tell Xander we had this conversation. He would probably get all embarrassed and huffy.
Elise:
You mean YOU would get embarrassed and huffy! But sure thing. It's our little secret! Thanks for talking with me, Leo!
Leo:
Of course. I'm always here for you, Elise.
