[Action/Video] Those Heralds of Summer

[innocent_royal]

(Action)
[It was yet another successful day at school. The introductions are lpng done and the work Really begins. And Anastasia looks drained, having P.E and ballet class in one day.

She was walking to her pickup spot in Genessia when she passes by a tree generating a huge noise.
Miin miin miin miin.

Anastasia followed the sound for it to suddenly stop. Good, it was hurting her ears. Upon closer inspection, she found a huge insectoid creature that made her shiver and cringe away in fear and disgust. It was a cicada.

When Anastasia backed away far enough, the cicada began singing again. It's not so bad when she can't really see the bug. So, she makes a childish attempt to communicate.]

Miin, miin, miin, miin~

[Well, it didn't fly at her. But otherwise, no response to what she hoped was cicada for "good afternoon." Oh well. Off to the library with her to await pickup.]

(Video)
[Once Anastasia was outside the library, she appears on the network for some light conversation.]

Good afternoon, everyone. I was wondering about something.

Why do cicadas make that "miin miin" sound?

[innocent_royal]

It's been nice. Mostly. I finally got to experience what it's like to be an ordinary girl. No hassles of nobility or any of that sort.

In this world, nobody knows who I am and... Don't really care...

[There was a bit of sadness to her tone at the end. Though some do care, it has been lonely.]

[ultravires]

Oh, you're not so much a normal little girl? Well, I scarcely could believe that. Tell me, are you a princess?

[innocent_royal]

Indeed I am. Princess Anastasia Leonheart, Right-wise Heiress born of Regnum Nivibus.

...But here, I'm just Anastasia. It's nice to meet you, Sir.

[ultravires]

Hm, Princess Anastasia. You are every bit of princess here as you are at home, being here away from your kingdom does not change who you are. It is nice to meet you as well.

[innocent_royal]

Yes, I suppose that is true... I still try to help out however I can, when I can after all...
Forgive me if I am prying, but I do not believe you told me your name yet.

[ultravires]

Ah, my apologies. Ardyn Lucis Caelum.

[innocent_royal]

Ardyn... Then it is very nice to me...

[Hold one moment...]

...Did you say Lucis Caelum?

[ultravires]

Ah, yes. I did. My, my.. a familiar name then?

[innocent_royal]

Any possible relation to a King Regis Lucis Caelum?

[ultravires]

King Regis?

Is he here? [ He has yet come across the man, himself. ] In a sense, we have come from the same line.

[innocent_royal]

I see. Well, he was here at one point or two. He was so kind, like a Grandfather I never knew.

I do not believe he is here any longer. Has not been for a long while.

[ultravires]

[ He's a moment in thought, somehow, this pleases him. ] I see.

I'm filled with wonder and peace, perhaps he has found happiness here. Ah, surely if you have been an acquaintance, he has found joy.

[innocent_royal]

And I hope his joy continues where ever he may be. A King as kind and just as him does not deserve to suffer.

[ultravires]

To have such warm wishes for Regis, perhaps the power of your heart will see to it that he is comforted.. wherever he might be.
