Who: Claude & Various
Where: Around Aldrip!
What: Claude and his encounters around town... again!!
Warnings: None anticipated! If you'd like to hop in on a log, however, please feel free to PM/DM me or hit me up on plurk (here!), and I'd be happy to whip up a starter for you, or you can just wildcard me in here! I've got my plotting comment here for the month if you want to take a peek -- Claude will the usual man about town, working at his apothecary, training, hunting, etc. etc., but with the twist that his sentencing honesty curse is taking hold.

They want conquest, and I want peace. It's really as simple as that. They believe that I only wish for peace with Fodlan because of my heritage, and -- well, they're probably right about that, but I see no reason for senseless bloodshed, no matter who we're up against.

[ In defiance of all Almyran traditions. They are conquerors by nature. It's how they've grown as large and as powerful as they are. Up until his father, that is, who seems to keep up the skirmishes at Fodlan's border as sport rather than true war. He wonders, sometimes, if the people of Leicester realize how few of their men they have sent to the border, how catastrophic it would be for everyone if it were to end in a full-out assault.

It's what would happen underneath Shahid's command. He won't allow it. ]

They'll fall in line eventually. When I'm King, they'll have no choice in the matter, [ he says firmly, and truth spell or no, his belief in himself remains infuriatingly steadfast. ] And don't you worry, Ethlyn -- if they couldn't succeed when I was the size of eight oranges stacked on top of each other, they certainly won't succeed now.
