[He jolts slightly, like Leo shot him, turning quickly before relaxing a bit]

Oh, Prince Leo... sorry for the intrusion.

[His ears go a little red, embarrassed at being caught hiding]

[brynwieldr]

No, it's fine.

[Leo smiles a little bit]

Hiding from someone?

[tacomeme]

[Well, no point hiding it now]

Not someone specific, no.

[brynwieldr]

So the party in general. No wonder Corrin had this room so close to the main ballroom, then.

[He sighs a bit]

Parties are exhausting.

[tacomeme]

[He nods, and seeing as Leo doesn't seem put off by his company he comes further in and takes a seat, pulling over the books Leo hasn't already claimed]

They are. I've never seen the point of them. But it makes Corrin happy so...

[brynwieldr]

I've always been the face of the family, so I'm used to them. I just don't like them.

[He chuckles a little]

But it does make Corrin happy. And Elise, who can never get enough of parties.

[tacomeme]

I'm not surprised. She seems the type. Sakura... not as much, but I did see your sister leading her around, so who knows?

[brynwieldr]

As soon as she realizes she's wearing Princess Sakura out, Elise will no doubt find a place for her to hide.

[Hopefully not this one]

That, or convince Corrin to turn the party into a sleepover in the ballroom.

[tacomeme]

Gods I hope not.

[He winces, realizing how awful that sounded]

Not that I mind sleeping here of course, but I doubt I would manage any actual sleep.

[brynwieldr]

I've fallen asleep in stranger places, but Niles usually finds me and gets me to bed before I have a stiff neck in the morning.

[He freezes, thinking about Niles at a slumber party]

--ugh.

[tacomeme]

[Leo's reaction makes Takumi snort in amusement]

He could teach a few other people some colorful language.

[Yes he totally heard about Elise picking up some words, or at least the story mutated through multiple tellings through various people]

[brynwieldr]

He only swears when he's angry or drunk. It's...everything else that's the problem. But he's loyal, so I can't really complain. He hasn't harassed you, has he?

[tacomeme]

Not... more so then anyone else? Though I've had my share of... comments.

[Not that he's noticed at least. Not that he's had much face to face interactions with the man- but Takumi isn't foolish enough to think he isn't watching him anytime he's visited. He wouldn't be worth his salt as a retainer if he wasn't]

[brynwieldr]

Of the "nobles deserve pain" sort or the "you have a nice ass" sort?

[tacomeme]

Both?

[brynwieldr]

[Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh]

At least he keeps his hands to himself unless otherwise asked.

[Leo goes back to his book before getting curious and glancing at one of the other books. That looks like-

Nope, covering his face with the one he's reading]

Corrin...

[tacomeme]

Oh? Did they leave anything good?

[He WAS curious if any Vallian literature was allowed up onto the surface. Gods, what ancient texts they could have there, completely untouched by their generation! He's never dared ask, lest it somehow be taboo]

[brynwieldr]

If by good you mean a copy of--

[Grabbing it to read the title]

--"The Soldier and the Slave", or one of the raunchiest pieces of erotica in the entire Nohrian royal library, then yes. Quite good.

[tacomeme]

[Oh poor Takumi looks about to catch on fire]

Wha- WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE *THAT* HERE?!

[Now, Takumi had turned his nose up at any Nohrian lit. until the last two years- during which he had devoured both what Leo sent him and his own purchases (and things he'd wheeled from the Nohrians that had come back to Hoshido with their new spouses). So he knew, if just from osmosis, the kind of quality erotic writings they were known for. It was VERY different for the Hoshidan equivalent, which was usually hidden in layers of metaphor.

Though their *art* was occasionally pretty lewd and known to involve sealife. Still, this was a bit much]

[brynwieldr]

Honestly? I imagine they thought they were helping. It's like they weren't aware just what everyone did between battles in their astral plane...that, or they're a terrible person who likes to poke at their younger brother.

[Referring to him in this case]

Probably both.

[tacomeme]

If that's the case then they could have picked a better time to... what... meddle? But this IS Corrin we're talking about.

[brynwieldr]

Their logic, and I promise you this is what they were thinking: the last time we were all together, there was a lot of sex. There will probably be a lot of sex this time. Surely raunchy homosexual porn will be welcome! I swear, that child is more interested in matchmaking than any actual matchmaker.

[tacomeme]

...well I can't completely argue their point.

[Thank the gods for the deeprealms or else half their army would be laid up with sudden pregnancies at any one time]

Still, it's a strange choice.

[He reaches out and takes the book, flipping through it]

There's not even any art in this.

[brynwieldr]

[Leo is so red and takes it back, flipping to a passage and reading it aloud:]

"--being at the mercy of his slave sent jolts of guilt, shame, and pleasure down Reynard's spine. Tied up like this, facing the mirror, he couldn't look away. A dirty rag tied over his mouth to keep him from crying out while Kris pounded into him at a speed that was tearing Reynard apart, Kris's thick cock making him wish he had never been caught with those whores."

[A look (still blushing)]

Nohrian romance writers don't need art.

[tacomeme]

[He's fire red at that, eyes huge.]

Somehow I'm not surprised you knew exactly what page to flip to in order to prove your point.

[There's no judgement in that- after all, that was the point of a shunga, and they were supposed to tailor to any taste and whim.]
