Ahaha, it was actually our teacher who started it... Even though he was a nobleman from Chedis, he wanted to make sure that we had people who would be able to protect even the poorer districts in Coene if trouble arose.
[ and trouble always arises! ]
But... you're right. I'm proud to be able to protect others in my country.
Mm... Sometimes disputes among civilians. We have a type of person in our population called Relivers who - how do I put this... Sometimes, they lose touch with certain emotions. That can be empathy or shame, which can lead to fights...
[ sips idly on his drink ]
The Royal Family might also cause trouble by abusing their power... or other crimes come up...
[ immediate understanding, and a soft smile. even if it goes both ways, sort of, he doesn't look like he thinks any different of marcoh for it, now that he knows. ]
Things can be really tough in the less affluent districts. Coene has a lot of the same problems, and I grew up there, too.
I'm glad you could defend yourself, and that eventually you didn't need to worry as much about money... I'm sorry things were hard for a while.
I'm an only child myself, though my partner is like an older brother to me at times. Adolphe and Monsieur Lucas both have younger sisters too, so I guess I just like hearing about family.
[ he sips some more at his drink ]
I think older brothers like you three who'd do anything for their sisters are really quite cool.
Ah! Well, I'm also the owner of a business called Courrune, where we take care of assorted jobs around town that people need help with. Repairs, babysitting, bodyguarding, you name it. Hugo's my partner there.
[ it's truly just (jpn voice) aibou
but also, teasing: ] So being cool comes naturally to you, Marcoh? Wow...

Take responsibility in your own hands when others can't. It sounds commendable.

[ Don't just call all Relivers thugs. But he nods. ]
I don't think it's too dissimilar in Vatican City. There aren't Corps though, just the police.
[ SAME THING I GUESS ]
no subject
but yves straightens up ]
Ah, wait, no! It's not all Relivers, not all the time and it's... complicated.
[ oh virche your fucked up lil island ]
Is Vatican City where you're from...?
no subject
But he just accepts this too he knows things aren't black and white. ]
It is. I've never really known anywhere else.
no subject
Are there a lot of people there...? I'm sorry to hear that it also has its troubles, but I guess most places would...
no subject
I think troubles aren't uncommon but I grew up closer to the slums. There were lots of people always trying to beat me up.
no subject
What? But you're such a nice guy, Marcoh—not that some people really need a reason but...
[ guess those guys are the real thugs! ]
no subject
I also got beaten up for uh, trying stuff myself.
[ It somewhat goes both ways, sort of. ]
It's fine. I learned to fight them off.

Didn't really matter if it was me. I had to take care of my sister though.
no subject
Oh? Younger? Older?

[
I'm sorry he is not talkative me just adding this bracket so it's not a one word response tag. ]
no subject
it's okay, yves is talkative ]
What's her name? What's she like?
no subject
...Venere. She's inquisitive. Gets into trouble. But she's sweet.
no subject
[ though, because yves has a tendency to read body language pretty closely - ]
I can pick a different topic, if you'd like.
no subject
[ Once a baby sister always a baby sister. ]
Either is fine. It's just not that interesting.

[ It'd be weird to say partner (romantic) and that they're like an older brother, right? ]
... It just is how it is. I don't really remember anything else.

[ BENRIYA ]
I probably should've done something like that...
[ Wait what's he being praised for. ]
I'm not trying to be.
no subject
there's a little laugh now and he'll just reach out to pat marcoh's arm ]
Ahaha, so it really is that easy!
But I'm just playing with you. You could always join Courrune now, you know. I was thinking of opening it up again, if we're gonna be here a while.
no subject
I don't know that anyone can pay you though.
