Prince of Fire Emblem: Invitation

[volleygenius]

Showing up at work and his family's house unannounced after that huge going away event was the funniest thing Marui can remember in some time. Who'd have guessed all that partying was for only a week-long farewell? Naturally, they have to have another bash to celebrate their return. And there's one person in particular he wants to make sure will be there.

Now, where in the castle to find Lissa...

"You haven't really defined what a guest of honor does..." she trails off.

"Also, if Maribelle finds out you're throwing a party where I'm the guest of honor and she isn't consulted on etiquette, she might be sad."

Which is as close to acquiescence as the princess can get and not feel too much like she lost a particularly long game of tic-tac-toe.

Although, even Lissa knows that Maribelle would be expressing that sadness... loudly. With proclamations.

"Huh? It's easy. Show up and have a good time like everyone else."

Also there might be toasting and speeches involved. That's fine, right? Please consult Maribelle, Lissa.

Marui's expression turns at the suggestion to consult Maribelle himself.

"Nnnngh... this isn't really meant to be that kind of party, though."

Lissa's eyes light up, hearing something Marui might not have actually said.

"Actually, no etiquette sounds like my kind of thing! We can dress down, not worry about people..."

She gets a little ahead of herself, and grins slyly.

"Maybe Seiichi and I can both come if we can dress down like normal people? Not having to be the king and princess for a couple hours might perk us both up."

"That's fine, if that's what you want."

Casual party is certainly the name of the game considering the guest list.

"Most of the people going are the naval unit. Naturally, friends and family too."

"Ohhh, that sounds like fun," she admitted, pretty much all in for the plan
now.

"They're a little rough around the edges but they have the best stories.
St. Rudolph aside, I love traveling, like they get to!"

"You know it!" Marui agrees. "Okay. After I confirm your brother's availability, I'll let you know when and where to be. Look forward to it."
