[lucentia]

I would do my best to keep it, of course, but there are few guarantees in this place.

[lucentia]

[not sure if masters or doctorates exist in eit world but he does perk up a little at the talk of overseas.]

Working overseas sounds fascinating.

[lucentia]

... It sounds to me that it's understandable to be angry in that situation. No matter their reasons, that's a severe secret to keep.

[transmit]

[ This is where Elysium falters, hands tightening into fists before unclenching. ]

The people I was with were unbearably kind and forgiving.

[ a little defeated. ]

[vacuous]

Yeah. My masters degree was on Rugnamian literature.

[ Everything is so real world compliant in his canon and then suddenly there's fake-ass country of Rugname, so funny ]

[lucentia]

[help

he doesn't want to say he has no idea what that is in case that sounds weird af.]

I see. To be honest, I would love to travel more, but even this much is pushing the limits of what my family would accept...

So I might be biased, but if you get the chance, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to take it.

[vacuous]

My mom's kind of unsure about it. You know how safe Japan is. She's worried about me going somewhere else that might not be as safe.

...I think I just need something different though. Even though I will be kind of leeching on my parents' kindness until I can get that degree...

I'll pay it back eventually. I'll try.

[lucentia]

[thinks about the people elysium was with...]

They are very kind. But even if this wasn't it, I think most people have lines they would consider unforgivable. It's not strange that this happened to be yours.

[lucentia]

Mm. Even if it might not be safe, it can be nice to broaden your horizons.

[...]

I'm sure you'll be able to.

[lucentia]

Yes, certainly better than the opposite.

[vacuous]

[ Spoilers he does not and you would not believe ghe reason why ]

Hope so.

[lucentia]

[WELL

HE IS AWARE THAT THINGS DON'T WORK OUT FOR TOKINAGA AT ALL BUT HE'S NOT ABOUT TO RAIN ON THIS VERSION'S PARADE

before i have lucien ask will you kill me if he asks what rugnamia or whatever it's called is like. do you have this info or will you cry.]

[vacuous]

[ It's Rugname all I know is that it's a foreign country and presumably allies with the UK or is a part of the UK??? So basically I might cry depending ]

[glub]

[ holding out his pinky. ]

[lucentia]

[does not ask about it then to spare lowe]

If you do pursue further education, do you think you would still go for something related to literature?

[lucentia]

[looks at it]

[vacuous]

[ OUR lore comrade ]

It's a doctorate so it'd be the same thing as my masters.

[ I'm truly sorry Lucien is constantly bombarded by things like Saga and Doctorates and he is simply left to drown because this Tokinaga doesn't know about jamjars. At the least he doesn't sound even remotely judgmental. ]

[glub]

[ going to use his pinky to poke lucien's hand. ]

[lucentia]

Rafayel...?

[glub]

It's not a promise, but I thought we should still seal the deal.

Is this your first time?

[lucentia]

[thanks tokinaga he is moving right on.]

Ah, right, of course. I'm glad that work didn't kill your interest in it, at least...?

[lucentia]

... Are you asking to do a pinky promise?

[vacuous]

I really only stopped after my masters because realistically, I needed money.

[ To like, you know. Live. ]

[artificialsweetener]

Take care of yourself in the meantime, okay?
And let me know if you need anything!

[oversea]

You really are too nice.
