[Hey! Someone has finally left his room today! Alexei had been staying in his room for the past few days to deal with being sent back by the Malnosso in pretty bad conditions. He was also coming down with something, but no one needs to know that cept the ever perceptive Nami. Today he felt well enough to wander out of his room and into town. To where exactly? The library of course to do a bit of light reading. He's got his journal on hand so he can look over his survey he did a few days ago as well. He can't help but notice as he wanders the street that...there were an awful lot more people out today.]

[His wings actually quiver slightly at that] Why?

[lilorangeknight.livejournal.com]

I-I... they're pretty...

[plus it gives him an excuse to fondle Alexei]

[fallenambitions]

You may look only. [Sorry, Schwann]

[lilorangeknight.livejournal.com]

[[AW ALEXEI, YOU'RE NO FUN]]

O-oh...

[So Schwann just stands there, staring at them.]

[fallenambitions]

[He'd roll his eyes here, he would]

What's your rank?

[Schwann scratches the back of his neck]

L-Lieutenant, sir. B-but b-back in Zelore you told me that I'll be a captain.. w-when I get older...w-when you're th' C-Commandant.

[fallenambitions]

...Yes, you do. Zelore, where is that?

[lilorangeknight.livejournal.com]

It's another world, I-I think it's kind of like this one, b-bringing people in from all over the place.

[He laughs, though it seems a little forced]

N-no weird experiments there, though.

[Schwann is still staring at Alexei's wings, though he diverts his gaze to Alexei's face when he speaks.]

[fallenambitions]

Stop stuttering. A Knight like yourself should be able to speak with more confidence.

[[GOSH ALEXEI HOW DO YOU KNOW IT ISN'T AN UNRELATED SPEECH IMPEDIMENT? IT'S AN ENDEARING CHARACTER TRAIT, GOSH]]

[THAT ONLY MAKES HIM MORE NERVOUS, ALEXEI. GOOD JOB.]

A-ah...s-s-sorry, sir.

I-I-I've just b-been through a lot l-lately... I-I-I... I'm sorry...

[fallenambitions]

...[Schwann's extra stuttering only leads Alexei to laugh a little.] No, it's all right. You must be tired.

[[Well Schwann DOES sleep on a bare mattress in a house with holes in the roof. Can't get a good nights sleep on that, I'm sure.]]

T-tired? I-I g-guess you could say that...
