[ ...There's a moment where Felix falls quiet. It is true that when he has confronted the other about his nature, he has not denied it. But speaking about the things that trouble him has not been common; he remembers well how he would skillfully bury things underneath that princely aura.

Whatever the case, Felix lets out a small huff. ]

I can't say I'm surprised. Though, I'm sure that will change soon enough the longer we stay here.

[ Then he'll add quickly, a bit flustered: ]

Whatever. All I'll say as a reminder is that it's painfully clear it falls upon my shoulders to keep an eye on you. I doubt anyone else could stand it.

[ Felix's words are still harsh, with an overly insulting edge...but honestly, he can't trust anybody else here to handle the boar. It'd be different if it was Garreg Mach or Faerghus, but this is Hell of all places. ]

That is true. Since we've gotten here ... there's never a quiet moment, isn't there? Whether it's for fun or business, the city keeps its own tune.

[ dimitri laughs softly. ]

I'm counting on you, Felix.

Of course you'd say something like that.

[ How does Dimitri manage to say things like this with a straight face? Then again, this has been a part of the prince as well, and there is a part of Felix that doesn't mind hearing it.

Not that he's forgotten who or what the blond in front of him is. It's just...ugh, he'll immediately turn around, feeling like his facial expression is definitely going to betray him or already has. He refuses to embarrass himself here. ]

...Let's continue walking, then. Unless you're looking to just sit around and admire the stupid flowers all over again.

The flowers are beautiful. What's wrong with admiring them?

[ oh, wait, he sees something - ]

Felix, let's go there.

[ he goes past felix, only to drag his wrist like they're children again. his destination, somewhere along the stalls of food -

a picture booth. ]

You know what.

[ Felix's expression flickers with a hint of confusion when he says 'there', and he turns to see what Dimitri is looking at, but then the other seems to go past him. Not to mention grab him by the wrist, and of course he's going to have to correct his stride swiftly (which he does.) ]

Wha—hey! What do you think you...wait, what is this even supposed to be?

[ Admittedly, he has still not gotten accustomed to some of the technology present here. So he's curiously peering at the picture booth, not sure what to even make of it. ]

It takes pictures. Look -

[ he points at the finished product, a rectangular slip that displays it with different designs. ]

It does so instantly, rather than standing for a portrait for hours.

Go inside. [ he is being pushed by the boar inside. ]

[ Felix huffs for a second, crossing his arms. ]

Do you really think I'm going to let a boar like you—

[ In the next moment, Felix has been pushed inside of the photo booth because he absolutely was not in the right position to push back. The image of it is probably rather silly as he stumbles in.

Here he is, getting dragged into something again. But just like before, something about this feels familiar—he could honestly probably leave if he wants. Instead, he complains because fine if he is participating in this he is going to make it difficult. ]

I'm standing in here and nothing is happening. So much for an instant "picture".

[ He absolutely does not have the facial expression for a good photo, by the by. ]

You need to set it, Felix. Be patient.

[ also you need to pay.

anyway, he chooses a simple design, he pays, and then in the small booth, elbow to elbow with felix and bigger than he is, definitely, they get ready for their portrait.

dimitri points at the screen. ] Felix, you can see your face there.

[ that he's not smiling! anyway, what did dimitri expect ... the little machine starts to count down. ]

[ Felix lets out a huff when he is told to be patient.

But, he does end up waiting, throwing Dimitri a look when he crowds in close to him, before glancing back at where he's pointing.

Yeah, he's definitely got the perfect picture frown. Though, something about seeing them both on the tiny screen is a little funny, but he's not going to point it out like that. ]

I can, and there's yours as well. Unsurprisingly, you look absolutely ridiculous in the small box.

[ As if he doesn't. Though the irritable look sort of goes away for a bit.

Felix would say what his expression happens to wear now isn't a smile per say, but it isn't a frown either for how little long that lasts. ]

[ the picture goes well. it takes several shots until they're told it's done, and then dimitri steps out of the booth - a bit awkwardly given how crowded it is with the two of them.

he waits for it to print, and then, pleased, he gives felix the other copy and keeps the other for himself. ]

There you go. Isn't it neat? [ he looks at their faces. ] I wish we had something like this back home. I think it'd be really popular.

[ a pause. ah, he can imagine it now ... ] Sylvain alone would make such good use of it.

[ Felix takes it, and he looks at it. It's...actually nice. Far different than from having one's portrait done, as Dimitri has said.

He carefully pockets it. ]

It's barely acceptable.

[ He says, as if he isn't going to want to carry such a thing with him at all, but he will.

And then Dimitri goes, mentioning Sylvain. ]

Heh, he'd make 'good use of it' alright. Not that I'd care for whoever he should ever decide to rope into his foolishness, but I know that he'd eventually badger me into it. Maybe you as well, though I wouldn't be surprised if he dared to do something even more stupid, trying to charm...

[ He trails off and then his smile slips. ]

Then again, it doesn't matter right now. He isn't here with us.

Not that I'd want him to be here. We're literally in Hell, of all places. I'd say we're fortunate enough to still be allowed to have our wits about us.

[ Yeah, there probably goes the mood. ]

[ it's alright. mood-killer, thy name is felix. ]

... I am glad to be here with you, regardless.

If I were alone, I imagine I'd be rather reckless. [ dimitri gives a soft laugh. ] Or, if you weren't here, poor Yuri would be forced to put up with me.

[ That's his middle name, don't wear it out. ]

You would. At least if I have to be here in this hell, I can ensure you don't do anything idiotic or go into some mindless rampage.

[ A small scoff. ]

Yuri wouldn't know how to handle you. He'd be at a loss.
