>"It's always nice to stretch out your wings, you know..." Sylvie jokes. "So, um... you said that you were going to sketch the view?"

"Oh yeah, I guess I ought to get to that..." you say as you bring out your sketchbook and pencils.

For a second, you ponder asking Sylvie if you could sketch her as she floats in the night sky, but that would probably result in her getting embarassed and losing the concentration needed to hold the spell or some similarly awful situation... as such, you decide to just go for what you were going to draw initially- the view of the city from all the way up here.

After poking around for a bit to find a decent place to draw from, you end up positioning a large crate to sit on so that you can get the view you wanted while still having enough light to draw with.

"Umm, Reinhold?" Sylvie asks.
"Hm?" you reply.
"Mind if I sit here next to you?"
"Go ahead," you reply, too busy trying to get a feel for what you'll be drawing to actually think about what that would entail.

After hopping up onto the crate and taking a seat next to you (but not too close, for she is a lady), she turns to you.

"What happened back in the room with everyone had me wondering..." Sylvie begins. "...Reinhold, what do you think of Princess Luciana?"

>how do you respond?

Was going to pull an all-nighter but then my plans for tomorrow got completely screwed because the day is a total waste.

I can only run for a few hours tonight because I need to be up at 9AM tomorrow, but whatever. Theraputic quest writing.

I'm partway through Marianne and Luciana's interlude, but Karel's hasn't been started on yet. Just a warning there, there'll be a bit of waiting if we actually get that far tonight.

>>28312730
She's the princess's best friend and she seems like a very interesting person though I think she likes to tease people too much.

>>28312730
"Can't say I really know her all that well. Seem like a good person, though a bit mischievous."

>>28312730
"She's a pretty fun girl to be around! I'm glad that her and Marianne are such good friends."

>>28313167

>>28313254

>>28312730
She is nice and means well but she enjoys teasing people too much so it becomes hard to tell when she is joking sometimes
I think that is just her reaction to bring so restricted in her life thanks to her father worrying about her so much

Grin.

Marianne warned me that she's an incredible flirt. I now believe she was understating quite dramatically.

I guess she was on her very best behavior during her visit.

>>28313167
>>28313167
You know, I really wonder about our "Station" on the totem pole is. It seems to me that, birth aside, being the royal bodyguard would put us in an equivalent place as at least minor nobility as It seems to be a lifelong position, barring extenuating circumstances.

It would hardly be proper for someone who risks life and limb in the direct service of the crown to reside in such a lowly station after all.

Marianne doesn't even consider us a person yet. We're nice to have around - people would miss us - but we're still expendable. Our life for the princess blah blah blah.

>>28313720
>but we're still expendable
We're a bodyguard, of course we are expendable. Long as our Primary is safe it doesn't matter what happens to us.

"She's Marianne's best friend and she's pretty fun to be around... can't say that I know her all that well, though. She seems to be nice enough, though she teases people a bit too much," you reply.
"Oh, so you don't- ehehe..." Sylvie begins giggling. "I was just curious, don't mind me."

"So you're drawing the city?" Sylvie asks.
"Yeah," you reply as you try to figure out the perspective before you begin.
"Ummm... mind if I watched you draw?"
"Sure, go ahead," you say absentmindedly as you finally get to work.

You quickly make a light sketch, and then spend the next halfhour or so gradually filling in the details until your drawing finally looks like what it's supposed to be.

...to be honest, it's not quite where you want it to be, but it's not like it's bad or anything. And considering that you've never actually done a sketch of this kind of thing before, so it's a pretty decent first try.

Finally done with your sketch and fully out of the I AM DRAWING THINGS zone, you turn to Sylvie to ask her if she wants to head down yet...

...and you finally notice that she's resting her head on your shoulder, fast asleep.

>scare her awake
>gently nudge her awake

Dude probably got permission to draw this person sleeping. Just randomly drawing a lady while she sleeps is creeper territory.

>>28314033
You're right. We should also grab a lock of her hair, so we can attach it to the back of the sketch so it'll have her scent, too.

>>28313995
>>28313975
it'd be creepy if we snuck into her room and draw without her knowing. she fell asleep on our shoulder while we were drawing and she'll see we draw her when she wakes so it is not creepy.

>>28314089
Well it would add to the immersion.

>>28314090
It's not like taking a picture of a sleeping person. It actually takes a decent amount of effort, which is what is the creeperish part.

>>28314121
You do also realize that she likes Reinhold, and wouldn't see it as creepy right?

>>28314121
And in this age where cameras don't exist, that comparison means nothing.

Besides, it's *really* not construed as that creepy. When I was learning to draw portraits, I'd sketch people on the bus and I'd usually hand it to them when I was done. Nobody pulled a taser on me or called me a creep. Hell, most of them thought it was cool.

>>28314157
still creepy.

>>28314178
For you, not anyone else involved.

>>28314186

thats not what the person you agreed is saying.

No that's exactly what I said.

>>28314230
What else would we do with the painting of Sylvie? Hang it on our wall?

It's only creepy if you're unnattractive. Reinhold is, apparently, extremely attractive. Thus, almost nothing he does is creepy.

>>28314250
The centerpiece to our new shrine to her of course.

>>28314250
sell it to nico

Jesus some of you people are creepy. Even in jest.

>>28314230
It kind of is. If she finds out we sketched her right away when she wakes up it's fine. If she finds out we sketched her a week later it's not fine.

>>28314250

Sylviefags confirmed for creepers. Such a shame.

>>28314478
No it won't dood. Remember what Etna did to Laharl that one time? Reinhold isn't made of Nintendium.

Part of you wants to sketch her as she sleeps on your shoulder, but it'd be kind of hard to properly do from here and you're not exactly sure how she'd take it if she woke up while you were in the middle of doing so...

"Hey," you say as you gently nude her. "Wake up, my shoulder doesn't make for a very good pillow."
"Hm?" Sylvie mumbles, not quite all there yet. "Oh, g'mornin' rein..."

The realization of what she just did hits Sylvie like a brick, and she quickly covers her mouth with her hands in shock.

"Reinhold, I'm so sorry that I- I mean-" Sylvie stammers as she frantically wipes off her mouth with her hands... but the drool she was freaking about isn't there. "So I didn't..." she sighs with relief.
"Umm..."
"S- sorry for falling asleep though," she says to you. "It's not like you were boring or anything, it's just that watching you was so relaxing and then you were right there and-" she starts blushing HARD.

"Umm, you're finished drawing, right? Can I see it?" Sylvie asks, desperately trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, go ahead," you reply as you hand her your sketchbook.

Sylvie spends a few minutes looking over your drawing and back at the view that it was based on before handing it back to you.

"That's pretty good," she says happily. "There's no way I could even manage to draw something like that... it'd probably just come out as scribbles," she laughs.
"This right here isn't exactly where I'd want it to be, but thanks," you reply.
"So, umm... you're done drawing?"
"Yeah, I think this is it for tonight," you reply. "And I don't want to impose on that guard anymore than I already have."

With that, you move the crate back to its original position and head for the stairs.

But, fair play, this is the longest we've actually spent in her company outside magic lessons.

"I was kind of wondering what Nicolette was up to..." you say. "...but I kind of want to go wandering around outside too. Can't really decide between the two."
"I see..." Sylvie replies.
"Eh," you shrug. "Why don't you decide."
"You're sure? I mean, I'm the one tagging along with you."
"It's about 50/50 in my head. So you can be the tiebreaker."
"If you say so..."

As the two of you continue walking down the stairwell, Sylvie mumbles to herself for a while before nodding in realization of a thing and turning to you.

"If we don't stray too far, I guess it might be nice to head out..." Sylvie says, fidgeting.
"Aye aye," you say, saluting.

As you and Sylvie make your way through the unfamiliar halls of Marconetti's astle, you keep an eye open in case Nicolette's somewhere around... but sadly, you don't see her. Leaving the castle through a side gate, the two of you take in the sights as you head into the city itself.

"It's been that long?" you ask. "I'd have thought that you'd have come here more often, seeing as how close Granache's royal family is with Marconetti's..."
"Well, my father doesn't really care much for travelling," she shrugs. "And my mother hasn't been back since that one time that guy, um..."
"Oh, when your father punched that guy?" you reply, realizing that she might not want to reminisce about the time some guy sexually harassed her mother.
"Yeah, pretty much," she sighs. "So this is the first time in forever since I've been in Marconetti."

"The city's as pretty as I remember it being, though," she says as the two of you admire the magically-lit buildings and streetlamps.

Hmm... looks like a fork in the road coming up ahead.

Last time we went near a bar, we had to break up a fight. Fuck that.

Don't take Sylvie to the bars. It's not a good idea.

Fountain

>>28315649
>take the path that looks like it leads to a fountain

Fountains are nice and we might get some inspiration for our next sketch.

>>28315649
Bar. Just to piss off the anti-sylviefags when it turns out to be a major Sylvie flag on the level of the footjob of death.

>>28315649
>>take the path that looks like it leads to a fountain

Fountain please, we've punched enough people, thanks.

>>28315649

Care to explain further?

>take the path that looks like it leads to some bars

>writing

>>28315795
In the VN Yume Miru Kusuri, in one route there's a scene where you get a footjob.

You have the option of cumming, or holding out.

Simple choice right? One ends the scene early, the other extends it.

ha.

No. See, if you choose to hold out, she runs away and dies during childbirth at the end of the route.

>>28315827
That sounds completely fucking retarded. Do they even attempt to explain why that causes that to happen?

>>28315827

... That is ridiculous.

>>28315827

>>28315870

>>28315870
I haven't read the story but it seems pretty goddamn obvious that extending the scene lead to unprotected sex.

Don't knock girls with mental issues up.

>>28315906
You do realize he isn't though. That actually is in the game.

I'm kind of curious to try this now.

>>28315882
>>28315881
>>28315870
It sort-of kind-of makes sense from a purely literary perspective. Her whole route is basically about cutting loose and getting all of the enjoyment out of life possible.

In the grand scheme of things, choosing to hold out at that point means that you aren't the person she's looking for--someone who is willing and able to keep up with her desire to show up, have a good time, and move on the the next attraction. Twice as Bright, Half as Long.

From a gameplay perspective, it's bullshit, especially because it triggers the Bad End no matter what other choices you make.

>>28315906
I wish I was. Seriously. Look it up.

>>28315870
/vn/ pls no derail

It's reasonably easy to rationalize it in retrospect given the context of the route, but if you don't bother trying to go full 2deep to try and explain it, it comes way out of left field.

>>28315914
Granted it's been a while, but I'm fairly sure it still comes out of nowhere.
Hell the entire game's a mess of strangely planned bad end choices. If you choose the wrong book to borrow at one point you get a bad end.

>>28315981
Sounds like an interesting idea...
just kidding, I hate that shit

>>28315974

thanks for the info, I agree with you on the gameplay perspective.

>>28316037
Just a question, have we had many points where we could have fallen into a bad end yet? It feels like there were some opportunities to die like a bitch here or there going alone.

Yeah... bars tends to lead to barfights and you'd rather not have to put up with that right now.

Or ever.

Taking the other path instead, you and Sylvie are led to a rather large fountain, the likes of which you've never actually seen in Granache.

"Wow..." you say in amazement at the sight.
"Oh, I remember this place!" Sylvie says excitedly. "There's always lots of people here during the day, and we actually had lunch here the last time I was here."
"Looks like a good spot to have it," you reply.

As you walk around the massive fountain, you notice that there are several food carts positioned throughout the general area, though they're all close right now because it's so late. It might be a nice idea to check out what they have if you get the opportunity to come out here during the daytime.

You continue to circle around, taking in the sights... and then you notice a faint melody coming from the distance.

Some day those tears are gonna spill

So build that wall and build it strong cause
We'll be there before too long

Gon' build that wall up to the sky
Gon' build that wall up to the sky
Some day your bird is gonna fly

Gon' build that wall until it's done

Curious as to where it's coming from, you and Sylie follow the source of the music. Eventually making it to the opposite side of the fountain from where you entered, you see a young man with shaggy hair sitting its ledge, deep in his ocarina playing.

"That's a really nice melody, I've never seen someone play one of those that well," Sylvie says in appreciation.

Let him get to the end of the song before bothering him. It's rude to interrupt.

>>28316331
>do not interrupt the musician at work
We can bother him after the song is over.

Just listen for a moment.

Is this Monique's brother or something? My memory is horrible.

Probably.

Maybe take a sketch and have a nice chat about how the song. Get to be good friends with him and all. Monique will be happy about his brother making a new friend.
