[ Aizawa's lolling against some tree somewhere. Terrible, slumped posture; hair wild about his face. His expression is neutral, bordering on irritable, and his voice is an exhausted monotone. He sits with one leg folded over the other, idly tossing a cat figurine from hand to hand. ]
Hey. Myself and a few others did some looking around. Apparently, both the sea clan and the mountain clan have their allies--but they're not within easy reach. In the case of the sea clan, the empress's brother is married to some far-off queen. The mountain clan's allies aren't too nearby, either.
[ He shifts minutely. His eyes flutter briefly shut, and he sighs. ]
Point being, war between these two would be irrational. The old man we spoke with said no one really wants to start anything, but I don't know how true that is. I haven't tried to approach the nobles.
[ He really doesn't look or act the part, and he knows it. Nor does he have an escort. ]
If you've spoken to any of them, what's the mood? What do they want?
[ He cards a hand through his hair, frowning slightly. ]
They're the key to this, I think. Certainly the key to actually meeting that empress of theirs. So if you've got info, or if you've made any connections, spill it.

Really? You're a princess too?
[ Lissa is super excited over meeting another!! princess, she's practically glowing. ]
That makes at least three of us, surely if there's that many [ lmao ] then they'll have to at least listen to us. I mean, we kind of understand where they're coming from and what they're going through.
[ Err, maybe she shouldn't assume. ]
Do you have experience with this sort of stuff too then?
[ She means like....diplomacy, peace talks, etc, because she sure doesn't. ]
no subject
Lonely.
...but anyway.]
Where I am from, I had been leading to form a Coalition, gaining alliances under a common goal of intergalactic peace and freedom against a tyrannical empire. While the situation here is obviously different, I do have experience bringing...er...those of very differing personalities and backgrounds together.
no subject
Wow, we're really lucky to have you on our team then.
[ There's no way anything can go wrong if this princess is here! But she speaks of tyrannical empires, and Lissa's curious as to the ending of that story. ]
What happened with the tyrannical empire that you fought against?
no subject
age is really just a number.
But Allura's bright expression dims a bit, and she frowns.]
It...remains a complicated issue. We had defeated the Emperor thanks to the help of our friends and allies, but his son had taken over in his stead. Now-- I am not sure. It is the uncertainty which brought me here.
[to strengthen herself. to help others and to gain allies along the way so that her own battles can be won.
She gives Lissa a reassuring smile.]
But I am certain we can resolve the issue on this planet. This is a matter of diplomacy; we are preventing a war.
no subject
There's just one problem, as her eyes dim and her gaze darts away. ]
I'm not very good at diplomacy....Chrom always says I should stop sticking my foot in my mouth.
[ Which is rude tbh, but also true. ]
no subject
I will admit, I still find diplomacy difficult, especially when you must deal with all sorts of personalities in one room.
Having a great advisor is vital, and it seems like you do have people here who can help. Most great diplomats do not act alone, after all.
no subject
You're right, everyone here has been really helpful.
[ It's such a drastic change from the way things are at home that she still can't believe it sometimes. Surely they wouldn't have all banded together to play the world's biggest joke on her? ]
But what do you do when all your advisors start disagreeing? How do you know who to listen to?
un: sharpshooter, just hops in here
If anyone can convince them, it's definitely you, Allura.
no subject
him hopping in on this conversation is a bit unexpected, so she may be blushing a little because. modesty.]
Thank you Lance. Though this situation cannot be solved unless everyone lends their part.
no subject
I guess I'll leave all the diplomatic stuff to you guys—uh, gals, then. Unless you want me to have a chat with any of those pretty noble ladies...
[ lance no. u ruined it. ]
no subject
so well.....................]
I was going to ask both you and Keith for help should we need any extra assistance, but perhaps I will just ask Keith instead.
[because you know How Great Keith is at diplomacy.]
no subject
That's a terrible idea, and you know it!
no subject
He is less likely to accidentally offend a noblewoman than certain paladins I know of.
[because has Keith ever shown an interest in women anyway??? the world may never know.]
no subject
I can be—I can be good! Um. Respectful.
no subject
also:]
The way they treat men here is a lot different than most planets we have been to. You must be respectful and not...flirt.
Especially not in the presence of noblewomen. I do not want to see you in trouble.

I am worried that you may get yourself in trouble.

Hey, don't sweat it, Princess. You know I know better than that by now.

You got it, Princess.
