Unable to resist the delicious aroma of the food that sits before you, you quickly begin devouring it. Judging from Nicolette and Sylvie's eating habits, you're pretty sure that Ariane won't be too offended... hopefully.

"So, sylvie..." Ariane begins, "...when's the wedding?"

Sylvie immediately starts choking on her food, coughing uncontrollably.

"Uh... wedding?" you ask, putting down your fork.
"It's pretty obvious to everyone here how Sylvie feels, so..." Ariane says teasingly.
"Reinhold..." Gillaume glares at you. "...I don't care that you're Nico's friend or whatever, I swear that I'mma kick your ass for stealing Sylvie away from me..."

Finally haing stopped coughing, Sylvie stands up, slapping her hands on the table.

"A- Aunt Ariane!" Sylvie shouts, "Th... that's not funny at all! I don't like Reinhold like that at all, we're just friends!"
"Ohh?" Ariane grins slyly, "A certain someone was telling me about how excited you were to teach him hw to use magic, and that you've suddenly seemed a lot happier over the past week or so..."

Sylvie turns to Nicolette, raising a fist in the air.

"Nicolette, you didn't..." she says, drawing back for a punch.
"Wasn't me," Nicolette replies, shrugging. "...though I suppose this means that we're even now..." she smiles wickedly at sylvie.
"S... so you're not engaged to Reinhold?" Gillaume asks.
"NO I AM NOT ENGAGED TO HIM WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT"

>how do you respond?

>>27667003
Look at her, just absolutely heartbroken. "If that's how you feel, give me back the ring!"

>>27667003
Look at her heartbroken and pretend to cry.

>>27667041
this pls

>>27667003
Glumly sigh, "Aw. Shucks. And I went and beat up Nicolette for nothing, now." Then resume devouring food as if it's normal.

>>27667003

It's a shame we wasted the time to learn Script. I was going to propose to you with it too!

Or something along those lines, but it's pretty much like the other options above.

"that problem can be fixed rather quickly. although the jeweler shops are closed at this hour, I'll be hard pressed to legitmaty have one ready." Looking at her playfully.

>>27668071
he's probably starting on his second turkey.

"Aw..." you sigh, "...so I went and beat Nicolette up for nothing, then..."

You then go back to eating your food, ignoring the shocked expressions of everyone else at the table.

...except Ariane, who is giggling uncontrollably.

"THAT'S IT IMMA BEAT YOU DOWN RIGHT NOW!!" Gillaume shouts as he jumps up from his seat.
"No, stop!" Bernard yells, holding his brother back. "He was just joking!"
"Y- yeah, I'm sure it was just a joke..." Sylvie says, covering her blushing face.
"Heh, nice one," Nicolette says, grinning.

After a few more threats on your life from Gillaume, everyone gets back to eating their food. Despite you having had a head start due to the dinner shenanigans, Ariane finishes first.

"Looks like your appetite's the same as my kids!" she says happily.
"Uh..." you look around and see that everyone else has finished eating as well. "I guess?"
"I -would- make another joke about that, but I think that poor Sylvie's had enough... so, I assume that you'll be heading back to the castle now?"

Also, when did we meet Gillaume and Bernard?

Last thread.

>>27668355
bump time.

"Yeah, it is getting kind of late..." you say as you check your pocketwatch. "I have a box of pastries that I need to get to the Princess..." you say as you get up from the table.
"Oh?" Ariane looks at you, grinning widely. "So -that's- what it is..." she gets up, runs to the still-seated Sylvie, and hugs her. "Oh, you poor girl! Unrequited love is the absolute worst!"
"C'mon, quit it with the jokes already..." Sylvie says, attempting to squirm out of Ariane's grip.

"...oh yeah!" Ariane lets go of Sylvie. "The whole point of your trip was to get a dress for Nico!"
"That's right, and I'm the one who picked it out!" Sylvie says, smiling proudly.
"...uh, I think we ought to get going now..." Nicolette says as she gets up from the table.
"Oh no you don't!" Ariane says, grabbing onto Nicolete's arm before she can escape. "Reinhold and Sylvie might have to get going now, but -you- are going to be staying here tonight so I can make sure that your dress fits properly!"

"I'd love to help out with that, but we ought to get going..." Sylvie says, grinning wickedly at Nicolette as she gets up from the table.

>>27669633
who knows, we don't know if his dad has receeding hair line as well. I'm worried about Reinhold getting overly bulky as he ages among other problems of old age.

"It'd be nice if I could get a sketch of you in that dress..." you say as you take a pencil out of your pocket and twirl it around.
"Wha- NO HELL NO FUCK NO" Nicolette shouts.
"Ohhhh?" Ariane turns to you. "Sketching, you say? I'm not sure if that's appropriate for a maiden of noble status like Nico..."
"Umm, it's nothing like that," Sylvie says.
"You aure about that?" Ariane asks.
"Yes, I was there the last time that he sketched Nicolette just to make sure."

A wide grin forms on Ariane's face as she holds on tightly to Nicolette's arm.

"I knew that you were close, but I never would have expected that you'd be sharing a boy..." Ariane giggles. "Or that my little Nico was even in-"
"DAMMIT MOM SHUT UP" Nicolette screams.

As you have your little exchange, Gillaume and Bernard watch on, completely confused.

"Umm, what's wrong with drawing?" Bernard asks. "I draw pictures all the time."
"Yeah, you guys're acting weird," Gillaume joins in.
"I'll tell you two when you're older..." Ariane teases.
"ANYWAYS, I guess you two out to get going already before my mother decides to do something else embarassing." Nicolette says, still trapped in her mother's grip.

I posted that mother line as a joke in response to the linked post above it, but we could rock it as one last tease before dropping the mic and going back to our castle.

>>27669755
>[2/2]

With Ariane's teasing barrage finally over, she and her children walk you and Sylvie outside to the carriage.

"It's always a treat to have you over, Sylvie!" Ariane says as she hugs her.
"Yeah, thank for cooking us dinner," Sylvie replies, returning the hug.

Ariane then lets Sylvie go and turns to you.

"And Reinhold... this is actually the first time I've actually met one of Nico's friends that wasn't Sylvie," she says. "I know she's foulmouthed and foul-tempered, but try not to hold it against her, okay? It runs in the family."
"Umm... sure," you reply.

"Hey, Reinhold!" Gillaume shouts. "You better not make Nico cry, or I'mma kick your butt! And keep your hands off of Sylvie, I saw her first!" he shakes his fist at you.
"Psh, and when have you ever seen -me- cry?" Nicolette rolls her eyes.
"Ummmm..." Bernard looks at the ground. "...the next time you come over, show me your pictures! And your magic!"
"Yeah, I bet Bernard's way better than you in both of those!" Gillaume chimes in.
"Heh, we'll see about that," you reply.

You then walk up to the carriage and open the door for Sylvie to get in.

"Hey Nicolette, your family is great. Don't take them for granted," you say, turning to her.
"Yeah, yeah..." Nicolette replies, blushing slightly.
"And thanks for everything, Mrs, um..."
"You can just call me Ariane!" Ariane chirps. "Or if you want, you can call me 'Mom'..."
"Dammit, can't you go five minutes without saying something weird..." Nicolette sighs.

"Uhh..." you attempt to ignore that last joke, "I guess I'll see you around," you say as you step inside the carriage.
"Bye, everyone!" Sylvie waves.

With that, you close the carriage door and start on your way to the castle.

You know if Reinhold did something awesome and got himself Knighted he'd be a totally legit marriage option for Luciana.
Just saying.

>>27670989
You've got a few more ranks of nobility to go up there, champ.

>>27670989
I'd totally support that.

>>27670989
Slyvie or Nicolette are best option

>>27670989
If he was knighted and granted a large tract of wealthy, fertile land maybe.

>>27670828
Do you know what this means?
WE. CAN. SWORD. TIME!

>>27670989
>>27671006
Actually, that's already covered. The king said he wants her to marry for love, not rank.

>>27670781

We're only like two years older than her, I'd still hit that.

The ride between Nicolete's mansion and the castle isn't very long, but you might as well get some conversation time in...

"So..." you begin, "...when do I get to meet -your- mother?"
"Hm? My mother?" Sylvie replies. "She's nowhere near as, um, -interesting- as Nicolette's mother is, but if you really want..."

You were definitely expecting Sylvie to freak out, but she's actually taking your joke seriously?

"It's kind of boring at home, but I'm sure that I could get my father to bring you over for a visit if you want. I owe you that much for prying into your personal life, anyways," Sylvie says with a guilty smile.
"Uh, I'll think about it?" you reply.

Sylvie doesn't seem bothered by that, but you feel a bit awkward so you try and change the subject.

"Hmm... what was that spell that Ariane used back there?" you ask.
"Spell?" Sylvie replies, unsure wht you meant. "Which one, she uses magic all the time."
"The one she cast on Nicolette when she was telling that story about Nicolette's crush on Princess Luciana."
"Oh, that one!" Sylvie snaps her fingers. "Rose Sphere, right? That's a variant of Null Sphere that Aunt Ariane made pink because it's her favorite color."
"...huh."
"It only lasts a few minutes and it pops the second that you poke it with something sharp, so I never bothered to learn it... I could look it up for you if you want though."

>AWW YEAH WE MAKIN BUBBLES NOW
>no, you don't have to go through the trouble

>>27670989
Not really, knights are the lowest rank of nobility, and non-hereditary at that, she's the daughter of nobility, she's destined for someone with a peerage at least.

Mind you, after being knighted, further awesomeness could result in a title of nobility and peerage.

>>27670989
Actually not, because she's mostly a diplomatic tool. You know, arranged marriages and what-not.

Marrying her off with Nicolette would be better.

>>27671037

We're talking Luciana, not Marianne.

One's a cool with a dickass dad and the other is a bitch with a bro dad.

>>27671037
That was Marianne not Luciana

>>27671037
Wrong king, Marianne's Dad wants her to marry for love

>>27671037
Wrong princess, Lucianna is marrying for politics according to that king, it's /our/ princess that's marrying for love.

>>27671054
[x] no, you don't have to go through the trouble
Though we should ask how easy it is to modify existing spells.

>>27671037
You're thinking Marianne.

Luciana is the Princess from the next country over who's father is trying to marry her off for politics and profit.

>>27671054
>no, you don't have to go through the trouble
We need something more effective

>>27671054
Bubbles, that could possibly turn to metal....hmmmmmm

>>27671054
>no, you don't have to go through the trouble

>>27671054
Any sort of crowd control is great for a body guard. Even if it stops them for a second, it's worth it.

>>27671066

I'm pretty the fantasy realm we're in isn't even remotely that liberal.

>>27671054
>>no, you don't have to go through the trouble

>>27671054
> no you dont have to go through the trouble.
I sort of feel bad for taking up so much of your time as it is.

>>27671054
Ask if she knows a similar spell that is more effective

>>27671037
You're confusing Luciana and Marianne, her father wants her to have a political marriage.

>>27671054
>no, you don't have to go through the trouble

As much as I love BUBBLES, we should probably limit ourselves to directly useful spells, and any threat worth the name wouldn't be all that inconvenienced by a glorified soap bubble.

>>27671113
>implying she doesn't love every second of it

>>27671146

I dunno, if we can make a reinforced metal variant then we could have a pretty handy tool for capturing people alive.

>>27671168
We are Sylvie's waifu after all.

>>27671054
"Unless there's a way to make it far stronger, I don't really think it would be worthwhile spending your effort on it Sylvie."

>>27671176
Not really, suffocation is a thing after all.

>>27671168
Of course she does. No reason to treat her like a mindless spell dispenser after all she also is in training.
That aside, yeah loves every second.

METAL bubbles would be cool, if that's even a thing.

Otherwise, not really worth the effort.

Hey guys, wouldn't it be best to learn magic that counters other magic? (is that a thing?)

>>27671206

It's created to contain stuff in the first place, I'm sure air holes come standard.

>>27671054
She doesn't have to show us that. We were only interested in it as a way to remove a potential threat. We're better off just encasing people in walls of iron. In fact, inquire about that. Then maybe ask about stone/steel skin.

>>27671176
I think that only works for Earth-based spells, which magic bubble probably isn't.

In any case, I'm sure there is a spell along those exact lines within the Earth/Metal alignment. I mean seriously, when have you ever heard of an Earth mage who can't summon rocks/chains/giant angry rockhands to restrain people?

>>27671176
At this point, Reinhold lacks the education to make more than minor variations on spells. (changing colors, etc) And even that takes a bit of practice, intentionally switching elements is out of the question.

Accidentally fucking up while casting something and getting something New and Different is an occasional possibility, though.

>>27671230
it's a spell you can pop with your fingernails, it doesn't need them

And Nicolette was silenced by it, so no airflow.

So, no, they wouldn't come standard.

>>27671235
we should ask about a place to practice

>>27671280

It's a spell that Nicolette popped with her magically summoned lance.

I'm pretty sure it's tougher than you think.

>>27671280
It's about as durable as a real-life rubber balloon, fingernails aren't quite enough to pop it.

>>27671054
>OTHER!
"Pink bubbles isn't exactly what i had in mind, but steel orbs on the other hand IS what i wanted to do. it would be perfect as a last ditch measure to protect someone or be a surprise obstical if i ahd to make one."

>>27671227
I don't think we need to worry about magic users for a while. Most people use knives or daggers for assassinations.

In fact, just how rare are magic users in Granche and beyond?

>>27671301
>it pops the second that you poke it with something sharp
Reading comprehension, gain it.

>>27671310
Well, against sharp things, anyways. Blunt force is another story, but it looks like you guys don't want it.

>writing

>>27671310
In that case, we've got to learn it. We're a body guard for chrissake. Anything that removes one assailant from the equation is good.

Hell, it can even be used defensively.

Hahahaha!
What if Nicollet refuses to do magic not because she can't, but because her mom's afffinity turns all her spells PINK.

>>27671339
but it doesn't remove an assailant, anybody with a weapon just pops the damn thing instantly, and somebody without it takes only a little bit longer.

We should learn a spell to restrain or capture someone, that particular spell is not it.

>>27671312

they only problem with that is would the metal stay even after the magic stops?

>>27671273
well in that case we should ask Sylvia about elemantal swaping of spells so the MC would learn in character about it. probably ask about lining up a meeting with the court Wizard/her magic teacher about getting US and maybe our princess more magic classes.

>>27671385
But now it's metal, because we're badasses.

>>27671392
i guess that depends on if we cast the greater or lesser verion of it.

>>27671338
No thanks, I don't smoke.

maybe we can learn a spell that can trap someone in place with iron chain or something

>>27671403
Pink metal. Because mommy.

>>27671458
Are you suggesting Reinhold isn't secure enough to rock pink?

>not learning the Iron dome spell

>>27671472
the 80's are back there in the past, thanks.

>>27671503
It might not be 1980, but I'm pretty sure it's around 1480. We're good.

>>27671485
>we need to learn "Iron Wall" spell first. it could also double as a bridge if needed.

>>27671403
>>27671458
Except that's not the way spells work.
see
>>27671273

We may be able to do it in the future, but as of now it's a bubble of uselessness.

And that still doesn't cover the suffocation issue.

>>27671485
Why not learn to make Reinhold's skin steel?

>>27671530
They call us... Pink Steel!

>>27671558
That sounds too close to a dildo brand or porn studio

>>27671530
Because we would have it to protect Marriane, not us

>>27671558
>>27671530
>>27671524
We should learn to give cloth the strength of steel, so that we will be able to use it as a defense, an attack, or to protect the princess.

>>27671530
Why, so we can become hard at will?

>>27671599
So we learn to cast it on others! Shouldn't be impossible, right?

>>27671621
Being able to deflect potentially fatal blows is always a great skill to have and combined with steel hands the spell can create a whole new combat style.

"Nah, that's okay," you say. "You don't have to go through that much trouble for me."
"...but I don't mind it at all..." Sylvie mumbles. "Umm, was there anything else you were wondering about?"
"Maybe a spell with a similar effect of the Earth element?" you ask. "Since my affinity is Metal, and that's supposed to be a subtype of Earth..."
"Similar effect..." Sylvie scratches her head. "Uhh... I don't know any off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's something out there," she says to you. "Probably won't be as convenient though, since stuff that you create with Earth and Ice magic sticks around indefinitely."

"It doesn't crumble or anything?" you ask.
"Nope. Those two are solid elements, and Earth spells in particular are a pain to clean up after you use them." Sylvie looks at you. "...and since your actual affinity is Metal, it's probably even worse for you for the spells that switch over..."
"...oh yeah, like the metal sand," you reply, remembering the mess you made in the library the first time you cast a spell.

>ask another question
>enjoy the few minutes left of this ride in awkward[/SPOILER] silence

>>27671621
And stay that way as long as we need to, yes.

>>27671661
I was trying to be lewd but you raise some great points there. So we're aiming for a sort of Iron shirt technique like the shaolin monks use?

>>27671664
>Awkward silence

>>27671664
Awkward silence is best silence.

>>27671664
Ask her how she felt about the day.

>>27671664
>silence, BUT not awkward

>>27671664
Maybe something less all encompassing, like a dome then.

>>27671664
>>Ask if it's possible to create a rock/metal coating around specific areas of your body . e.g. Instant greaves and vambraces.

>>27671664
I picked the spoilered option, because I can't read it on my phone and who can resist the mystery box?

>>27671664
>enjoy the few minutes left of this ride in awkward[/SPOILER] silence
Want to get home to read our new book and practice some magic before bed.

>>27671664
"well, it looks like i'm lined up with training from just about everyone who is better at things than I am for the most part. But i have yet to meet your trainer Sylvie. is it possable to see him some time?"

>>27671664
"So... I'm glad we did this today. I've never had this much fun all at once in my life."

>>27671664
Ask about her sister, You vaguely recall her dad mention she had three daughters and she mention her mother do why not her siblings

>>27671664
Ask why Nicollete is so jumpy about her family? Like why she she wouldn't let her mom use her surname

note for later: maybe find a spell to shatter metal
could be useful for disarming or cleaning up

>>27671664
Let's go with silence.

TODO: learn to use Script to sketch things in mid-air, using thin Script fragments as lines.

Sylvie's best grill. Prove me wrong.

>writing

Can we save some time by assuming we're going to Marianne once we're home?

i have to ask something quick
Ancellot is an empire right?

>>27671858
our sword is the best girl and we will never cheat on her.

>>27671664
"Maybe something like a wall would be good though, with similar defensive applications. Would still be tough to clean up though... maybe another spell to shape it, then it could be converted to scrape metal."

>>27671860
ask about her sisters at least QM!

>>27671869
From what I recall it's not an empire so much as some shitty-ass state that's recently been making noises about militarizing.

>>27671791

could also be useful for getting rid of pesky plate/chain mail so we can sword them while they have no armor

>>27671877
yes agree we are a sword sexual. we will travel the lands find the Goddess swords and seduce them.

>>27671877
Call me when our sword learns how to blush, then I'll agree.

Rolled 17

>>27671877
Can we have nick use our sword

arch is there like a castle gym or something where we can lift weights or something so we don't become terribly out of shape? Since all we do with our free time is wander around the castle, eat a lot of food, talk to people, and attempt to become a wizard.

Should try to make some metal weights or something and start lifting.

>>27671869
Country, slghtly smaller than Marconetti.
There's the occasional war of conquest, but any attempt to form an empire would be crushed utterly by Certain People.

>>27671932
Let's crush the Certain People.

>>27671916
aren't there intelligent swords made by elemental gods ... I bet one of them could blush, and who doesn't love older women.

lets go after one of them

>>27671932
Hey, Archelon,
Does Metal magic allow us to create metal from nothing or to just manipulate metal at hand?

>>27671925
The training yard has that stuff.

>>27671932
Wait, would they also be against Marconetti's marriage schemes?

>>27671954
Creation.

>>27671963
What, to unify the two countries? Probably, yeah.

>>27671916
Upotte with swords quest when? Katana is the popular girl with an all-male fanclub who make up wild rumors about her, she's incredibly shy and hates the attention.

>>27671951
I like where this is going.

"THIS IS MY LEGENDARY SWORD, THE ARA ARA~"

>>27671916
Oh, it can. It turns a rosy hue when covered in the blood of our enemies.

>>27671980
Any metal we know of?

>>27671980

sooooo can we sell any metal we end up making to random black smiths for extra coin?

>>27672006
The only metals we would know of are gold, silver, copper, and sword.

thank you based anon for your business sense

>>27671889
so... its like north korea then?
awesome.

so how much would scrap iron or copper be worth in this setting?

>>27672083
That was my conclusion as well, yes.

>>27672117
Probably valueless, seeing as how it can be made in pretty huge quantities for essentially free, on demand.
