The warm rays of the sun paired with a chilly draft slowly pulls you back into the land of the conscious. Though you're still kind of achy after all that fighting you did yesterday, you feel pretty rested. And considering how shocked Carina was about the fluffiness of this bed, you're pretty sure that she-

Huh?

Just to make sure you're not making a mistake, you scan the bed maybe ten times before your brain finally accepts what it's seen- Carina is GONE.

"Oh shit shit shit shit..." you mutter under your breath as you hop out of your bed and pat the bed itself down just in case she's curled up in some weird position or something. And finally you give up and pull the covers off entirely, revealing Nothing.

Panic's starting to set in.

"Maybe she's in the bathroom...?" you say as you walk over to the open doorway to the toilet... nothing. You even pull back the shower curtain, but she isn't there either.

Calm.

Be calm.

After taking several deep breaths, you head over to the chair that you threw last night's clothes on and throw on your jacket... maybe she just went wandering the castle. You used to explore when you were little, that kind of stuff's totally expected. Right? And if she got lost, you can just ask Arnaud and he'll be able to find her!

Yeah, that's what you'll do. No panicking, just a god solid plan of action. Now all you need to do is find some socks and then you'll be good to go!

With that last thought, you head over to your drawer to find a fresh pair... and just barely hit your shin on the bottom drawer since it's open.

"...but I didn't leave it..."

As you bend down to close it, a wave of relief nearly knocks you over when you look inside. Somehow, Carina managed to curl herself up there and fall asleep.

I know salted caramel is the best, but regular dessert is good too anon. No need for hyperbole.

As cute as she looks all nestled up in that drawer, watching her sleep there only serves to remind you of the conditions that she used to live in before you brought her here. Damn it all...

"Carina?" you call our as you gently nudge her. "It's morning..."
"Mmm?" Carina curls up even smaller than she had been and rubs her eyes. "Go way, this's my box..."

Ignoring that comment, you reach down into the drawer and rustle Carina's hair.

"C'mon, it's time to wake up," you say.
"Hm?" her eyes snap open. "Go way, I said this's my-"

And then your eyes meet.

"Ehehehe..." she smiles at you, still half-sleep. "Hi, Reinhold..."

"Hi, Carina," you reply. "Time to get up, okay?"
"'kay..." Carina mumbles as she sits up in the drawer.

Not wanting her to accidentally break the drawer itself, you reach down and lift the little girl out of it and onto the floor.

"Sorry for using your clothes box," Carina mumbles, "But I couldn't sleep and-"

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Who could be knocking at your door this early in the morning?

>>37275142
Not really. Who says we can't be one big happy adventuring family?

>>37275142
Video games have taught me that so long as a token futile attempt is made to leave her at home it's completely fine if we use Carina in our party. Given her history, she might even have more probability of survival than Luciana.

>>37275173
If you're just gonna hand her off to servants what's the point of adopting her in the first place then?

Why not just make sure she's looked after and be a part of her life without formal adoption?

>>37275231
>>bring carina along with you to answer it
Does it matter?

>>37275231
>Stay back while we answer it.

>>37275142
Why? I'm pretty sure Agnes would be willing to look after her while we're gone, and if not I still think we can come up with something.

....getting her out of the squalor of Cateno, for starters?

We have a job. We're only like 17 years old, unmarried, etc. She has to find a place to fit in here in the castle because she can't free ride. Helping out cleaning and general maid work is the best way.

Nobody's saying she's going to disappear from our lives; we still live in the same place. But we need to make this adjustment in order for any of this to work in the long-term.

Nobody would be heartless enough to punch us if we're carrying a small fountain of adorable. Right?

>>37275346
Also, I preemptively vote not to show anybody the sketches. At least for now. We've pissed off enough people recently.

And I still do want to give Marianne a sketch she'd actually like.

>>37275377
Karel would

>>37275388
Do we know what her favorite animal is yet?

What? Like her riding a llama with a playful wolf running along side it? Maybe have some adorable toddler riding the wolf? Or are we going not cutesy in which case a picture of her and her father sharing a moment or her entertaining Nico and Sylvie for tea would probably do the trick.

>writing

>>37275300
Seventeen is an adult and our job is typically far easier than most people get. Major perks and we only have to follow around Marianne all day 95% of the time.

>>37275443
Don't think so. We should ask the meido or Luciana.

>>37275444
Nicolette just said 'a cute sketch', so I guess it's open to interpretation.

>>37275447
Is that not just an additional perk?

>>37275443
The wild Reinhold is by far Marianne's favorite animal. But while Reinhold's are dashing, loyal and kind hearted, they just aren't people no matter how much you wish they could be.

>>37275443
Llama. This was established while ago I believe.

>>37275444
>>37275490
We could sketch a tiny Reinhold and leave it for her for starters. Preferably captioned with a pun of some manner.

>>37275522
No, she just thinks they're cute.

>>37275522
I wonder if they sell Llama suits somewhere.

>>37275499
>yfw Reinhold's ultimate animal rank is just "Reinhold"

>>37275522
But Llama already appeared on the scale.

>>37275575
The scale is determined by how close a creature is to being seen as a person, not by how much it is liked.

"Someone's at the door?" Carina asks.
"Looks like it," you say, nodding. "Stay here while I answer it, okay?"
"'kay," Carina nods.

While Carina makes her way over to the window, you head to the door and open it -just- a crack...

"Umm, good morning," Melanie says as she leans towards the crack in the door and waves to you.
"...oh," you sigh.

Kind of embarrassed about the current messy state of your room (from searching for Carina), you step out into the hall to speak with her.

Straining your eyes in low light doesn't actually have any impact on your eyesight, that's just one of those old wives tales. All it does is make your eyes ache a bit, and if you seriously overexert the muscles your vision might be slightly blurry early the next day.

Vision deficiencies that aren't age or pointy object related are caused by deformations of the eye or defects in the retinal pigments, which are genetic.

Oh well, what's done is done.

"So, uh..." you shrug, "...good morning?"
"Eheh, good morning to you!" Melanie replies with a beaming smile. "Did I wake you up? I'm really sorry if I did..."
"No, I was already up," you reply, shaking your head. "Did you need something?"
"Not exactly?" she laughs nervously. "LAst night, your sister came back to the castle for a few minutes and-"
"Did something happen to her!?"
"N- no, she's just fine!" she says, throwing up her hands.

"I guess she went shopping while we were having dinner and she came back with a really cute dress for Carina," Melanie says, giggling to herself. "It's in my room right now so I was wondering if maybe you wanted me to give Carina a bath this morning and then get her dressed for you?"
"Uh, wow," you say with a weak smile. "You don't have to go through all this trouble, I mean-"
"Oh, it's no trouble at all1" she says, smiling at you. "It's just that I love dressing up cute girls in cute dresses... Karel gave me a lot of trouble last night but Carina's just so well-behaved so I mean-"

This gives us time to get ready ourselves and either
a) see Arnauld, figure out something for Catrina
b) see Karel, get our well-deserved punch in the gut for all the shit from yesterday before we hug her and tell her we're happy for her, at which point she'll just relax in our arms and enjoy the moment

"I think she'd love to, but assuming she didn't decide to go back to sleep you might want to ask her first. Oh, before you come in it's a bit of a mess, I couldn't find her at first this morning.

Suddenly she starts blushing really hard.

"Umm, could you maybe forget that I just said that?"

You breathe a tired sigh as you enter your room, picking up the blankets that you'd covered the floor with just a few minutes ago and tossing them onto your bed. After that's done with, you walk over to the window and tap Carina on the shoulder.

"Hey," you say to the little girl.
"Reinhold!" she stares at you. "We're so high up!"

Another reaction that she shared with you...

"Yup," you nod. "Pretty cool, huh."
"Yeah, it's almost as high as when we were riding that wy..." Carina makes a frustrated face, "...that big monster thing yesterday! Do you ever get scared that you're gonna fall out though?"
"No," you laugh, "because I know better than to try and climb out my window."
"Ehehe..."


>[2/?]

>>37276623
She'd hate it at the moment, but later that night before going to bed she'd reflect on how dashing Reinhold looked during the dance.

What should we have said?

>"you're right, nico, fuck these whores, we're gonna be the best knight couple there ever was"

>>37276634

Best not to keep the maid waiting.

"Melanie's outside," you say. "She said that she wants to give you a bath."
"...but I'm not dirty yet," Carina replies, looking completely confused.
"Maybe not, but we take baths -every- day so we -never- get dirty."
"Wow..." she gasps. "So I don't gotta worry about getting itchy anymore!?"
"I'd certainly hope not," you say, shrugging. "Now let's go, okay?"
"'Kay!" she chirps.

While Carina races for the door, you locate the maid outfit that Melanie lent her yesterday so that you can return it.


>[3/?]

>>37276750
To be fair, it was probably before at. If memory serves, at that point it was Luciana and Sylvie who were dedicated to pursuing us while Nico was kind of "I like you... but I'm still going after Melanie".

>>37276807
>"Wow..." she gasps. "So I don't gotta worry about getting itchy anymore!?"
How is it that every other line this girl says elicits sympathy? She isn't even trying.

>>37276501

I get the feeling that Nico's more into dressing down when Melanie's around.

As for the dress that Citrine bought her, you think it'll be more fun to leave that as a surprise.

"Alright," you say as you walk out into the hallway, "here's one little girl," you pat Carina on the head, "and one maid dress."
"Thanks, Reinhold," Melanie replies.
"Hey, you're the one who's doing -me- a favor here," you shrug.
"Hi, Melanie!" Carina says to the maid while hopping into the air as high as she can.

Even though she's pretty small herself, Carina's able to jump high enough to be eyelevel with her, and It's taking all you have to keep from laughing.

"Hi, Carina," Melanie says to her with a kindly smile. "Are you ready to get bathed and dressed?"
"Uh-huh!" Carina replies, filled with excitement.
"Alright then!" she laughs. "Reinhold, did you want me to bring her right back after she's dressed?"


>yeah, do that
>if you could, bring her to ______

>>37276894
>Even though she's pretty small herself, Carina's able to jump high enough to be eyelevel with her, and It's taking all you have to keep from laughing.

Future Dragoon

>>37276894
>yeah, do that

I don't really see any reason for doing anything else.

>>37276894
>yeah, do that
Speaking with Arnaud about a temporary solution for Carina should be a priority.

And then Niklaus.

We can beating from Karel later today.

>>37276894
>if you could, bring her to Arnauld's office
That's when we can have the talk with Arnauld and Melanie (head butler and maid, respectively) over what to do with Catrina in the castle.

And in the meantime, we can go see Karel (once we shower and prepare ourselves).

>>37276911

>>37276933
Yeah, this I guess.
Makes more sense than bringing her to Karel's room when we're going to be talking about private shit.

>>37276933
I think we should wait until Luciana's here for that.

>>37276933
should we really have this kind of conversation without Luci though?

>>37276894
>if you could, bring her to ______
Arnauld, we need to get you (Melanie) and him to figure out where she'll stay for the longer term and what she can do to earn her keep.

>>37276972
>>37277001
Shit, good point. We promised not to make decisions without her again.

Alright, how about before seeing Karel we send out a messenger bird/pigeon or whatever it is we have?

>>37276894
Yeah, I've got to vote against talking about this with Arnaud now. Wait until Luciana gets here.

I say we weigh up our options but don't make any decisions without Luci.
We ask Melanie and Arnaud what we positions we could realistically expect Carina to be able to find and then when we're having our conversation with Luci we bring it up like "I've been talking to Arnaud and Melanie and there's a good chance Carina could be enrolled as and X or Y."
We're not making any decisions, we're just informing ourselves better for when a decision is to be made. Making decisions with Luci doesn't mean we can't get advice from other people.

Should we even make Carina a maid if we can afford something else for her? It's kind of dickish to frop that on her.

>>37277039
Seconded.

>>37277062
I agree. But most seem to just want her running around scrubbing floors because that's a great life skill.

>>37277062
Our squire?

>>37277062
That's why he said x or y, implying that we're searching for options.

hm. a bit of an impasse


>bring her back here
>bring her to arnaud's office

>>37277062
What's so bad about being a castle servant? She can learn some responsibility and how to act in a place that isn't a complete shithole.

Either way, I don't think Carina is going to complain, no matter what we do. As long as we're close by.

>>37277102

>>37277102

Do not upset the Luci, she is King Shadowruns daughter and RUNS a spy ring.

>>37277102
why don't we just simply ask for Carina's opinion?

>>37277102
>bring her back here

>>37277102
>>bring her back here

>>37277102

>>37277111
We could beat her every night and she wouldn't complain. Servitude is not a great option.

>>37277102
>bring her to arnaud's office
We need to figure out what to do with her.

>>37277062
I'd rather we make her a castle guard, personally but we should ask what she wants.
There are more than two types of servant at the palace mind.
Maids and guards but also cooks, medical staff and stable hands.

>>37277146
because she's an 8 year old uneducated girl

>>37277102
>bring her to arnaud's office

Gainful employment would be good for her.

It did wonders for us.

>>37277102
>bring her to arnaud's office
>>37277160
She really isn't the fighting type so no to the guard.

>>37277102
>bring her to arnaud's office

The issue here isn't where we take her. What we want to handle today is what her future is going to be (which is why we want her taken to the office where we can discuss this out).

BUT before that happens, we need Luciana. We promised not to decide shit without her. So if there's a way to get her to come here, that's preferable.

Just setting the stage for the big decision/talk.

>>37277102
>bring her to arnaud's office
Get a handle on our options, then once we know what is or is not possible without imposing on others, talk it over with Carina and Luciana.

This doesn't have to be a final decision or anything, jeez.

>>37277218
Just like, "Sylvie I need some time!" wasn't a final decision or anything right?

>>37277154
>Servitude is not a great option.
It's not a bad option

"Yeah," you nod, "go ahead and do that. I'll try and get bathed myself before you get back."
"Very well," Melanie replies. "C'mon, Carina!" she says, taking the little girl's hand. "Let's get you all clean and pretty!"
"Yay!" Carina cheers as the two of then set off down the hallway. "I'mma be as pretty as Nicolette!"

It's a shame that Nicolette isn't here right now to appreciate her girlfriend's cuteness. Or Carina's, for that matter.

Once the two ladies have left, you duck back into your room and gather up a change of clothes before heading into the bathroom to take a quick shower. Once you're all nice and clean yourself, you throw on your clothes and then head back to your bed to retrieve your sword from its resting place. Thanks to all that unneeded panicking over Carina when you woke up, you neglected your usual morning ritual of saying hello to it!

...

......it kind of felt like it said "hi" back to you. That was weird.

Pushing that into the back of your mind, you decide to spend however long it'll be before Melanie and Carina get back practicing your artwork.

This might be weird, but I kind of want to draw our sword, and see if our mental image as we're drawing it affects its shape.

Mostly I want to see what the mental feedback loop of drawing a thing and having that thing change itself in response to any imperfections in the drawing ends up being like.

Volker'd be a fine choice too.

A million images race through your mind as you try and decide what to draw, but one in particular sticks with you. Though it's not all that "fresh" in your mind, it's definitely the one that's most worthy of becoming a proper drawing so you pull out your art supplies and go to work.

Linework...

Shading...

Before you know it, you're all done with your latest masterpiece- a picture of Volker based on your last memory of him before he and Adrien left on that ill-fated voyage. He's got a confident grin on his face, and you feel both happy and kind of depressed when you take the time to properly look it over.
