[ You can ask I'd just either make shit up or be like idk so pretend he said something... we persevere

Also you deserve to when I keep doing this to you because Tokinaga would. Observe: ]

Yeah? Where?

[lucentia]

[tearfully opens a playthrough to try and a find a scene where other countries are mentioned]

... I don't think you would recognize the places.

[vacuous]

[ The face of someone who is like I'm pretty sure I know my Earth geography but he doesn't want to come off as some pretentious asshole because geography was not his actual field of study. ]

[lucentia]

[the problem is that lucien can't just name off random earth countries because he doesn't know any!!!

...]

Wallent, Rizoh, Gripa, Oratio, and Machinae.

[vacuous]

[ These sound fake as hell... he thinks/I say when we inexplicably have Rugname ]

Oh, that's a lot of places.

[lucentia]

[YOU CAN'T JUDGE WHEN YOU HAVE RUGNAME!!]

They we—they're the ones I'm most interested in.

[or rather the only other places on his continent.]

[vacuous]

Can't choose between them all? Maybe you can do an international program.

[lucentia]

[admittedly lucien is just internally making himself depressed again when he thinks about how anastasia implied that he's not suited for travel, but anyway.]

An international program?

[vacuous]

Yeah, a program where you get to go abroad for study? Some universities have something like that. I wanted to go to Rugname but scheduling didn't totally work out for me.

[lucentia]

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that.

... I'll consider it, then. [continues lying.] Though my... parents would also likely be concerned on whether or not it'd be safe for me.

[vacuous]

Guess that's the same wherever, huh?

[lucentia]

Mm. You understand well—to understand that people are concerned for you, but to also wish they weren't.

[vacuous]

...Yeah.

[lucentia]

[wryly,]

I would suggest a toast to our mutual troubles, but I suppose we're not holding any sort of drinks.

[vacuous]

You can't drink anyway. That's illegal.

[ The Problem Here ]

[lucentia]

I also don't care for alcohol to begin with.

[vacuous]

That's okay.

[ You go, Lucien. ]

[lucentia]

I'm glad to have your support?

[vacuous]

I hope you get to do something you like though. Whatever it is you're doing right now.

[lucentia]

Well, for now, I'm just wandering aimlessly. We'll see where it takes me.

[vacuous]

Sure. Sounds like a plan.

[ Cannot say shit because that's where he's also at rn. ]

[lucentia]

[wryly,]

As much of one as yours, certainly.

[vacuous]

Mine's different. I told you, I'm studying.

[lucentia]

True enough. I suppose you have things put together more than I do, then.

[vacuous]

But I'm also almost a decade older than you.

[ Frankly his life is in shambles thank you so he has his shit together even less but it's fine. ]
