This might be a weird request, but could I borrow a few baggy shirts? I guess Iris makes me grow big, uncomfortable, stupid horns that don't let me fit through doors and ruin all my tops! [ that is not a bitter tone, it definitely is not. ]

Promise to give them back after the moon's over?

[ there's a brief pause before yukari finally says, ] Whoa. How do you even find time to learn all of them? Was it constant studying?

Getting that scholarship must have been a dream come true. Where are you from?

[properprincess]

Yes, I have been studying them since I was three years old. Along side other skills I would need as I got older.

[What is having downtime or a personal life, Yukari? Sonia has no clue.]

Yes, the scholarship was truly a blessing. I am from Novoselic, which is a small country on the European Continent.

[piercedyourheart]

There can't be too many jobs that would require you to learn 30 languages. Well, unless you were an ambassador or something like that.

[ please live your best life here, sonia. ]

Novoselic? My geography isn't that great, but I can't say I remember hearing that name before.

[properprincess]

[Sonia lets out a surprised laugh.]

It is something like that, definitely. Being the princess of an absolute monarchy does require a great deal of diplomacy and fostering of goodwill with other nations.

Especially in Europe, which is so diverse and sometimes contentious. But it is fine that you have not heard of Novoselic. Cartographers seem to overlook it as well from time to time, but it is a small nation with a good economy not too far from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Hungary.

[piercedyourheart]

Oh, neat, I've always wanted to travel to Eu--.

[ hold the phone. she said what. ]

Wait, what? You're a princess? Like a real princess who's going to rule a country one day?

[properprincess]

[She is not at all surprised that the other girl is fixated on that. It's pretty normal. Par for the course, honestly.]

Yes, I am a real princess of a small European nation. There are so few royals left all over the world. However, you know, even Japan has the Emperor and his family and there are is the Royal Family of Britain.

[piercedyourheart]

Well, yeah, but Japan and Britain are constitutional monarchies, right? That's a lot different from an absolute monarchy.

[ yukari paid attention in school, she knows her stuff. ]

[properprincess]

It is true that both countries rule more through their parliaments and that the monarchs are little more than cultural figureheads. And that is decidedly different from how my country is situated. The Nevermind family has had an unbroken line of ruling for over a thousand years because we have always done our best for the people and refused to focus solely on power building.

[Hey, school is important. Now she can put that knowledge to use.]

However, that is not to say that we don't have a council of advisors that gets elected by the people. They are just as respected as the kings and queens in power.
