Decree II

[dedicatednoless]

[ACTION]

Morning in House One;
[Waking up with something really heavy over his feet was quite startling at first, but when Peony sits up to see that it is one of his loving little rappigs... well? The manly squee of joy that follows his surprise travels loudly enough throughout the house to wake just about everyone.]

AHHHHHHHH! JADE~! IS THAT YOU?

[What do, House One?]

---
Later in House One;
[Find Peony doting on cute little Jade in the living room with food and pet rubs galore. OR. Find the cute little rappig running around the house between the rooms with open doors, and expect Peony to show up shortly after to retrieve him.]

[As the video comes on, there is one big ecstatic smile on the Emperor.]

Greetings, Luceti! I have an exciting event to share with you all~ [He moves off screen for a moment, but when he comes back, he's holding up a rappig with a blue collar.]

See, we have this little new arrival today. So, please give a warm welcome to my cute little Jade!! ♥ He's an Sylph-Redecan'arius, likes long walks in the park, especially fond of carrots - and seeking new friends, so put in your pet play date requests now! ...And, in the off chance you should find him running around outside, please return him to house one. I'll be sure to reward you. Thanks~!

Oh, and Gailarda? I'm counting on you to report to work tomorrow. Can't have my little Jade growing grossly overweight from staying inside all day.

[With how Peony is looking over at Jade this time, he can't hide his mild displeasure nor pretend he didn't hear that one. His lips pull down at the sides, but he still lets Jade move in to pet Cute Jade.]

Uck! ...I think I lost my appetite. You can count us out.

[He still keeps up a trolly smirk as he withdraws his hand to go into a shrug.]

My, you'd certainly be missing out on a royal feast. Is he to to be your new roommate, in that case?

[dedicatednoless]

Cut that out, you'll make me puke! My cute little Jade always has a spot as my roommate.

[yourfononsarewhack]

Ah, your decrees sound ever so nostalgic. [He says in response to the 'puking' comment as he pushes up at his glasses.] Of course, he's also the only Jade who's suited to be your roommate. It is very fitting, considering that your bedroom tends to be more of a sty than anything.

[Exchanging barbs with Peony - it's simple and relaxing in its way.]

[dedicatednoless]

[So this is going to be a game of words back and forth, huh?]

...hey, I won't argue with you there. You'd be an awful roommate.

[yourfononsarewhack]

Why, thank you. [He says proudly.] That's one area in which I'm particularly proud to be awful at. Well, that and any other area which involves being any type of 'mate'.

[dedicatednoless]

...Hmph. That's true. But I'll tell you one thing: you're still stuck being my best mate until the day I die.

[yourfononsarewhack]

[He sighs. But there's a slight sincerity hidden in his smile, as he finds himself a seat nearby.]

Perhaps that much is true. It's certainly not a station that I have any intentions of abandoning.

[dedicatednoless]

I would hope not. Or else I'd have to follow you around myself until you admitted defeat.

[yourfononsarewhack]

Well, now that confirms my suspicions. [He shrugs.] A good soldier knows when a conflict will prove too tedious to battle, after all. An early surrender proves to be strategically sound.

[dedicatednoless]

Or is it the other way around? "A good soldier is loyal to his allies and country both." [He quotes the line from something Jade may have read: the up-dated version Peony made of the soldiers' code.]

But I'll accept the victory without a fight anyway~ Thanks.
