[soo-won will also take some]

Fufu, you're right, it's very odd.

[why are they still eating it

anyway - ]

Fizzy beverages...? [he holds the food out] Could you hold onto this? I will try to open one.

[retellers]

[ they take the bag, peering at him ]

Don't shake it, it'll go all over the place. You've never had some?

[recrowns]

I haven't. I normally take tea.

[but he will hold it very far from him and

try to futz around with the tab please hold]

[retellers]

Tea's good too. [ they watch him for maybe .5 of a second before: ] No, no, you have to pull it. [ they're trying to demonstrate while holding food. it is not working out. ]

[recrowns]

[this is just dumb and dumber no wonder people thought soo-won was on swan's team]

Pull?

[he gets it - it fizzes just a little but it doesn't overflow]

Oh!

[retellers]

You got it!

[ they are full on. cheering him on for this, yes. ]

Try it! It's best when it was just opened.

[recrowns]

Oh!

[he drinks some

he turns his head and coughs a little because what is carbonation to a medieval]

I see!

[retellers]

See? Fizzy!

[recrowns]

Incredibly so.

[and he'll offer the second can back out to swan!]

Let's have a cheers?

[to what]

[retellers]

Yes. [ they agree so easily, taking the can, but. ] What are we cheering for?

[recrowns]

Hm....

The fact that we've got the chance to meet all the Leaders now!

[sure]

[retellers]

Was that something you were excited about? [ they laugh and open their can, though ] I was. It's been so boring in the castle.

[recrowns]

It was! I like my leader, and the three that I got to meet last week, but I hope to get to know all of you.

Cheers!

[gonna try to clink his can with swan's!]

[retellers]

Cheers!

[ this is absolutely happening, and swan looks delighted. though after a sip; ]

You know that totally outed that your leader wasn't Fox, Wolf or Rabbit, right?

[recrowns]

[he's not flinching]

Did it? It could've, I suppose. Oops!

[sip!

now he's flinching bc oh no carbonation]

[retellers]

Be more careful talking to people!

[ they sound serious ]

[recrowns]

[he offers a sheepish smile at that]

Mm, you're right. Are you worried about me? That's kind of you.

[retellers]

Well, yeah? I'm worried about everyone here.

[ just completely genuine? ]

[recrowns]

[he nods along]

Mm - very kind of you. I agree with the sentiment. We certainly have ended up in a rather difficult situation...

But I'm worried about you too.

[retellers]

Me specifically, or the Leaders in general? [ it's not a call out or anything, just curious ]

[recrowns]

Hm... both?

[he tilts his head at that, as if considering his answer and aiming for the most sincerity]

You've all been put through an ordeal that it sounds like you weren't quite prepared for... and that in and of itself is difficult.

And I've heard that you were greatly upset over this past weekend... so I'm worried about you in particular, too. Those most caring can often be hurt the most as well.

[retellers]

I don't know that I'm the most caring... Maybe I'm just the loudest about it. [ they laugh, a little awkward, rubbing at their elbow with one arm ] But of course I was upset. We're supposed to be here to help and protect you guys, not stand back and watch as people die without being to do anything to help!

[recrowns]

[there's a smile at that, endeared]

Even if it's only a matter of volume - it does not pull away from the fact that you seem to feel deeply about it.

I'm glad that you feel that way, though. It makes me wonder - do you feel comfortable in the role of a leader?

[retellers]

I think so. [ it's said a little slowly, like they've never thought about it much before ] I don't know if that means whoever I used to be was one or if I'm just bossy?

[ pensively. ]

[recrowns]

[it

makes him laugh just a little bit]

Perhaps both.

You remind me of someone.
