They are. [ He groans. ] They only care about their own benefit—which, I appreciate they're looking out for the citizens of their regions, but it doesn't help when the entire country is being invaded.
I suppose I'm fortunate that I was born with a silver tongue so I can convince those geezers to work with me instead of arguing for days on end.
[ Ah, yes. Those with power only look after themselves and how they appear to be. Their ego and selfishness. If Adolphe simply lacked the restraints, he would go and cut down all the nobles. Alas. His justice: A.

Things like that take time. It's hard to believe you're around our age and you're already doing things like that. ]
no subject

sorry claude............. it's a fact you must accept ]
no subject
Well, I don't mind being conned in exchange for his friendship.
no subject
He seems to be thinking about it really hard.
He called you a very close friend, so I hope you'll learn to like getting conned more often. ]
no subject
[ Smiles at him. ]
Do you find yourself being conned often too?
no subject
Don't let yourself get conned by Yves!!
(yes it happens but he's been better about it) ]
no subject
[ He looks amused. ]
What advice do you have for me, Adolphe?
no subject
And more boundaries, but he already mentioned that.
Despite that, you two are pretty close. ]
no subject
He just looks amused. Is he... a sucker? ]
It's hard not to get close to people in a high stakes situation like this, right? I think Yves has a way of disarming people's defenses, anyway.
no subject
It's not that hard to not get close.
Okay, Adolphe. He nods about Yves though. That's just how he is. ]
