[He looks like he is not sure whether to take that as a compliment or not but is choosing to do so...]
Ah, well... It's more of the same issue, really. I have trouble cutting and peeling things, or holding things that are too fragile if I'm not paying close enough attention.
[The number of times he has just shattered eggs completely while trying to crack them.]
[HE IS... VERY DIMITRI IN SOME WAYS. He's not in his Catholic Guilt Era at least. But there's a faint little laugh at that.]
I suppose I would, wouldn't I? My father did want for me to follow in his footsteps and become a member of the public guard, but I always admired my mother's work as a teacher more.
Oh. Well... Yes, I've tested my limits in similar ways before. Though I've never tried to lift a house, I have been able to break through reinforced concrete and steel and the like...
I've never tried it before, but I suppose it wouldn't be impossible. Perhaps I'll build those school houses after all, once I've dispatched the Royal Family.
[Lucas just like casually topples the whole fucking established system.]
The matter of the curse is out of my hands, but I can at least ensure that the Royal Family can do no further harm and help to improve our frankly nonexistent public systems.
There are already structures in place for other forms of leadership, since the Royal Family does little on its own... Though those structures are also quite corrupt, unfortunately. I don't suppose you'd have any suggestions?
Well, first of all, you need to be prepared to set up something that's not going to work in a lot of ways. Each nation and people are different, so it'll take time to figure out what works for you.
Secondly, you need to catalog what resources are available to any institutions of governance, and how they're going to get the resources needed to be effective. Once that's figured out, you can determine who is fit to lead, letting the populace weigh in on that will probably help if you don't have someone with a "divine right" to power.
The Royal Family is the only one that lays claim to the divine right to power, and they're very small and broken... Unfortunately, I believe the person that our populace may turn to in their absence won't be much better.
[FROWNING AS HE CONSIDERS THIS... He is truly not fit to lead a nation. Hm... At least talking to Claude about it has made him realize that because he really does just take action now and think about it later.]
[THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDS BEFORE HE GOES OFF AND KILLS THE MONARCHY WITH NO BACKUP PLAN.]
Mm, I just worry that the instability will be too much... Most of the issues I foresee come from the populace; its lack of empathy and ability to understand, and its reliance on the old systems. I believe they would fare well if they had a better figure to follow and guide them properly, but...
[He is actually feeling a small bit of doubt about the person he would previously have suggested without pause so now he is unsure.]

What are you going to do, anyway?
no subject
[A nod!]
I think I'll just stick with something simple, like paper flower crafting... I'm not very skilled with things that require small detail work.

You are surprisingly strong... Despite your looks, you would do well as a labourer.

You must have increased endurance as well, given your strength?
no subject
I do, yes... Agility, speed, so on.

Forget about lifting a house, you could probably build a house in a single day.
