"It was great being able to spend time with you like this after all this time," you say, turning to her. "I hope we can do it again."
"That would be great!" Citrine says as she hugs your arm. "I dunno if I'll have enough time while we're here in Marconetti, but we do live in the same city after all..."

Yeah, that is true... though there's no point in getting her address now because you'll probably end up forgetting, you make a mental note to do so once you get back to Granache.

The two of you continue your walk back to the castle... before long, you can make out its towering spires in the distance.

"I'm kind of jealous that you get to actually live in a place like that..." Citrine giggles. "Hanging out with royalty, eating the good food..."
"It's not like you're not able to do most of that stuff too, considering who you managed to land as a husband," you reply.
"Ehehe, you do have a point there!" she laughs, slapping you on the back.

>anything else you wanted to talk with her about before you make it back to the castle?

Today was a supremely shitty day, so I'm using the power of horribly garbage broken computers to post this because I'm going to end up punching something or someone if I don't focus my energy into something constructive.

Running to the end of this day, so let's do this thing.

>>28445670
Girl problems

>>28445670
Talk to her about our girl problems and how we can't deal with our feelings well.

>>28445670
Talk about the fact that we've got both Luciana and Sylvie who obviously have a thing for us, and we have no idea what to do. Need some sisterly advice.

>>28445670
I kinda want to ask her to name her child Volker if it's a boy.

>>28445794
this

Something along the lines of "So I'm surrounded by young hot girls but they're all nobility and I have no idea what to do."

I got a buncha problems, and they are all girls! Girls hitting on me! What do I do?

>>28445838
its been decided to be reinhold.
His middle name can be that or the next child can be that,

>>28445853
Got 99 problems, and bitches are ALL OF THEM.

>>28445711
It's okay Arch

Things always get better

>>28445844
I have the feeling that a kid of low birth being hit on by nobility would be like a neck beard getting hit on by any girl. "What the hell is happening, it this some kind of trap?"

The thing is Rein obviously knows what needs to be done.

Gently let them down and not string them on.

Thats immediately apparent when Rein told Slyvie that hes not looking to date at this time.

I'm not sure why he still needs advice.

>>28445931
Because girls are hard.

>>28445670
small talk, enjoy sisters company

>writing

>>28445967
its not so bad... until the 10th time...

>>28445931
No Rein told Slyvie that hes not looking to date at this time because you guys all suck. Any time Rein gets close to girl A the people shipping for B, C, and D all team up to mess it up. Rein is destined to be alone forever.

>>28446094
I'm partial to sylvie but I put forward the option to not date her because Rein isn't ready and we as players aren't ready either.

>>28446094

Please.

With Rein's previous trauma, he is in no condition to date anyone.

>>28446116
thats the thing it would not have lead to dating yet, but during that whole part people started shitting on her hard and the shit with Mathias was horrible.
>>28446153
>>28446116
Yet there are people a thread later trying to push him with one of the two other princess.
I'm not saying you guys are wrong, but the shit we did was not because of his trauma.

>>28446094
I like Sylvie, but we aren't at the point for that yet, neither Reinhold, nor us players. Case in point: you.

>>28446188
Yes it did get pretty bad and most people were not voting because of his trauma but I'd still prefer to roleplay even if others are not.

>>28446190
>>28446153
>>28446116
>>28446094
You guys know we basically told her to wait for us right.
We never told her no and even gave her hope by asking what type of guy she likes.
So right now she is waiting for her chance.(or when her patience runs out and her courage builds up.)

>>28446233
>patience runs out and her courage builds up
Never gonna happen.

>>28446233
Well yeah, that's okay because Rein/we still don't know how we feel about the whole situation.

>>28446233
Not exactly. Now stop sperging, you make Sylviefags look bad when you do that.

>>28446325
Don't be like that, throwing accusations around just incites shitposting.

>Not one post in from Arch's OP and waifuing
Good to be back.

>>28446347
Look at the first post. Look back to me. Tell me what you see.

>>28446325
not sperging, just pointing out the obvious.
I'm a nico fan and it was pretty evident that we told her we aren't ready for a relationship *now*.
So to her that means the option is still there.

>>28446366
He's totally sperging man, but that's no reason to insult sylviefags or him, you're just asking for a dozen offtopic or waifu related posts.

Knowing our players it would be more like this.

That wicked specter known only as Girl Problems looms its ugly head... as much as you'd like to just push all of that crap to the back of your head like you always do, you know that's probably a really bad thing to keep on doing.

And this is Citrine, you've always been able to talk with her about stuff that's on her mind.

"Hey, Citrine..." you say, sighing.
"Hm? What's wrong?" Citrine replies, immediately recognizing that something's up with you.
"I have a bit of a problem, and I'm not exactly sure how to handle it."
"Oh?" she says, a look of concern on her face. "Well, you know that you can come to me with anything that's on your mind..."

After taking a deep breath, you turn to Citrine.

"Two friends of mine have feelings for me," you sigh. "And I'm not exactly sure how to deal with that."
"Really!?" Citrine says excitedly. "You mean it's two of your pretty lady friends that you're always hanging out with?"
"Yeah..."
"Hm... the cute brown-haired one with glasses is obviously one of them, but who's the other?"

Might as well tell her...

"...Princess Luciana," you say, shrugging.
"Prin- Holy crap, Reinhold!" citrine says happily. "I'd never have thought you'd have actual royalty swooning over you..."
"Sylvie's actually royalty too, but that's not the issue here," you sigh.

Anyway, lets discuss something different, like how magic reducing aging would influence the upper class who have the best chance to increase their magical abilities, or plans on how to guard the princess during the party, more plans is always good.

>>28446595

>>28446637
well if it reduces aging then it should be pretty common for all nobility to know it.

>>28446664
And yet you've got Marie and Nico pretty much ignoring it indicating that it's entirely acceptable to not bother.
I find it strange that it isn't mandatory much longer honestly.

>>28446684
they know the basics of magic so it is mandatory to a certain extent, but not all nobles are gonna be mages.

>>28446684
That isn't exactly a fair sample to pick from. From what we know as far as nobles are concerned they are a statistical anomaly compared to the rest.

>>28446714
I don't see why not, if my child could live longer and have much more power by knowing magic I'd force them to learn. Unless it has some unknown to us drawback.

>>28446518
I remember that scene!

It takes a lot more effort than most people are even able to even manage to get more than five years or so added to your lifetime.

The big returns don't really come unless you're at SUPER MASTER MAGE-level like Ariane is.

Most powerful mages can get to around 150 or so, with the upper limit being 300 years without the involvement of outside shenanigans.

>>28446714
I figure magic is like math and some people will never understand calculus.

>>28446771
>>28446771
>Ariane
You mean Arnaud?

>>28445711
yes. Yes. YES. Amuse me, Entertain me to forget about your problems.

>>28446792
No, Ariame looks really young remember?

>>28446771
What is the average life expectancy without magic?

>>28446771
Oh okay, that makes sense.
Any comments on the prevalence of magic among the lower classes?
Is it kinda like the old wise woman who blesses the fields in her village, or more common?

"Hm?" Citrine looks at you quizzically. "What, they're not your type?"
"It's not that either, it's just..." you say, putting a hand over your face, "I just don't know how to handle that kind of stuff, you know?"
"Oh... it is because of..." she asks, her previously cheerful expression instantly becoming somber.
"Yeah."

"You know..." Citrine says, placing an arm over your shoulders, "when Marius proposed to me, I had no idea what to do. I mean, he's a super nice talented artist guy, and here I was, just some whore."
"Hey, you weren't-" you stammer in protest.
"No sense in mincing words, the truth's the truth," she sighs. "I mean, he always treated me like a lady despite my... -vocation,- and I didn't think I deserved it at all."

"And letting someone in like that... I don't mean physically, I obviously have plenty of experience with that," she says with a bitter chuckle.
"C'mon..." you mumble.
"...but yeah, it was really hard for me. And I know it's probably the same for you, right?"
"Pretty much..."
"Just remember that most people aren't like -she- was, okay? They want you to be happy, and they want to be happy WITH you," Citrine says, pointing a finger in the air for emphasis. "It's the ones who want YOU to make THEM happy without any care as to how it's making you feel that you have to worry about, you know?"

"And considering that both of them were your friends already, I'm sure that doesn't apply to them, right?" Citrine asks.
"No," you say, remembering the insane lengths that Sylvie's always going just to help you out... and also everything that Luciana did for you today.

Fuck the romance main plot. Can we all agree that our end goal should be to go on epic adventures with King Auqaman when he abdicates the throne to Marie?

>>28447196

Princess to guard.

Even when she is queen.

>>28447196
No we guard for life.

>>28447155
This is the weirdest opinion that I see get thrown around.
I don't know about you guys, but the last time I traveled through the friend zone for a few months before asking someone out was in high school. Most women I date now I know for somewhere between a day and a week before asking out.

>>28447059
>[3/3]

"I know you've been playing the role of the lonely swordsman all this time, but you should still let people in, okay?" Citrine says, patting you on the head.

It really is weird for someone who's shorter than you to do that...

"There's no point in stringing them along if you're flat-out not interested at all, but you can always try and take it slow. Start out as friends, and see how where things go from there, you know?" Citrine says to you.

...and somehow, you've managed to reach her room without knowing it.

"It looks like this is goodbye for tonight, but remember whaat I said. You deserve to be happy, and there's no point in keeping yourself closed off from people who want to make you happy. Just remember that, okay?" Citrine says as she places a hand on the door to her room.
"Alright..." you say, sighing.
"Attaboy!" she says, kissing you on the cheek. "See you later!"
"Yeah, see you."

With that, Citrine retreats into her room, closing the door behind her. You're not exactly sure how to act on her advice, but it can't hurt to keep it in mind, right? After all, it's not like she's ever steered you wrong in the past.

Slapping your face a few times to shock yourself out of depressionmode, you turn around and head out of this wing of the castle. After all, there's still a bit of time before you need to call it a night.

Then we can run into an old man and confide in him, unwittingly informing the king of Marconetti that one of his (numerous) children likes a bodyguard.
Or we might accidentally run into Monique!

>>28447562
Strawpoll isn't reliable beyond about half an hour.

Nicolette's usually pretty cheerful, so hanging out with her would probably be a good way to get rid of this crappy mood... and it might be nice to spar with her again.

As such, you head towards the wing of the castle where your rooms are located, just in case she's in there. As you walk, you hear chattering coming from the opposite end of the hallway...

...looking to see just who it is, you spot Karel, who's carrying a large bag. And he's walking with a lady with brown hair in a loose sidebraid...

Poor Meido. I'd vote for her.

Might as well see what's going on there... as you approach, Karel spots you before you can greet them.

"Oh, hey!" Karel says happily. "Calling it a night?"
"Nah, I was actually looking for Nicolette," you reply.
"Is this handsome young gentleman a friend of yours, Karel?" the lady asks.
"Oh crap!" he stumbles, nearly dropping the bag he's holding.

"Umm..." Karel mumbles. "This is Reinhold, Princess Marianne's bodyguard."
"Nice to meet you," you say with a wave.
"And this is my mother, Alicia."
"It's nice to meet you, Reinhold!" she says, a warm smile on her face. "So you're the one who won the swordsmanship tournament over in Granache?"

"Yeah," you reply.
"I'd heard that the final match was decided when the other guy's sword was shattered, so I was expecting you to be a bit beefier..." Alicia says in a disappointed tone.
"C'mon, Mom..." Karel sighs.
"You're still plenty attractive, though!" she says, winking at you.

"Ugh..." Karel grumbles. "...anyways, um..." he says, desperately trying to find something to change the topic to. "...Reinhold here learned swordsmanship from Volker Eschenwald!"
"Ohmygodreally!?" Alicia squeals as she suddenly grabs your hands. "Now it all makes sense! Breaking swords, Eschenwald... that's amazing! It's a shame that style doesn't fit my Karel at all, or I'd have been happy to hire you as a tutor..."
"Seriously Mom, cut it out..."

No, not really. She's a good friend but the only reason she's interested in Rein is because he's the first guy her age bracket that she can relate to (magic.)

What does that make everyone else if we can't talk to them about our problems?

>>28448151
Bitches and whores.

>>28448151
The cause of our problems.

>>28448151
people who we will eventually confide in

>>28448151
Women!

>>28448139
What I'm saying is: we are unnecessarily cold to everyone else except this one girl we've friend-zoned.

It's not a statement on what waifu to choose, it just means we're really bad at relationships with anyone.

And I blame you, /tg/.

>>28448151
It makes them the problems we need to talk about?

>>28448151
Potential relationships? They don't realize how pathetic we really are ;_;

>>28448116
Bro.

shes our female bro.

>>28448151
Scared.

Here's the thing: I think they do.

WE'RE the ones that don't realize it yet.

>>28448169
We're roleplaying the character pretty well huh?

>>28448169
Seems in character for a rape victim.

>>28448223
Almost as if /tg/ has some repressed experience they're unlikely willing to share!

>>28448169

she already has some one she likes man, and most people here assume it's not Rein.
even though it is

>>28448243
Indeed.

>>28448076
We finally have a milf rout that wont get us kill horribly. The cast is complete and we can now spend the entire rest of the quest not sleeping with any of them like a proper anime.

"So you're familiar with swordsmanship, then?" you ask.
"Oh yes... it was my dream when I was a little girl to be great with a sword... but real life kind of got in the way, and I ended up wasting away my life at my uncle's cafe," Alicia sighs.
"Oh, that's really a shame..."
"Yeah... lack of funds and being a girl kind of got in the way of that," she shrugs. "But now I get to live vicariously through my sweet little Karel here!" she chirps, patting him on the head.
"You're so embarassing..." Karel mumbles.

"And thanks to my AMAZING parenting skills and the wonderful example that -you- set," Alicia winks at you, "now both Karel and I get to live here in the castle!"
"So that's what that huge bag's for," you reply.
"Yeah... I -told- Karel to just leave it for the servants to bring to my room, but..."
"I said that I'd help you move in, and that's what I'm going to do," Karel replies.
"My little baby loves me so much..." she giggles.

"ANYWAYS," Karel clears his throat, "we really ought to get this to your room already."
"That's right, I don't want to loiter in the halls and bother everyone here on my first day..." Alicia sighs. "I guess this is goodbye for now, Reinhold!"
"See you later," Karel says.
"...that is, unless you'd like to help me unpack..." she says, a sly smile on her lips.

Nico time.

>>28448270
Yeah, why not.
Mindless work helping others might clear our head.

>>28448270

We came down here for a reason.

>>28448270

Karel, your mom is weird.

I'm convinced.

Karel is a reverse trap who has been forced to take up another identity so his mother could live through him vicariously.

>>28448270
>>sorry, I'm looking for my friend
Also ask the reverse trap if he wants to spar tomorrow.

>>28448270

Scared Reinhold is Scared.

Shes acting like Spinelle.

>>28448169
We maintain a mostly professional relationship with Marianne, because we're her employee. It half friendship/half work at this point.
We joke and flirt about with Luciana. We don't see her much, but flirting is fun. I don't know how comfortable Reinhold is with it now, though. It was harmless flirting that we both thought of as a joke, but she recently confessed to us.
I don't even know what to think about Sylvie anymore. She was a fun normal girl to hang out with - someone we didn't have to worry about anything when around. But her crush has become so acute that I'm uncomfortable around her.
Nicolette is our bro. You go to Nico when you just need let something out - and not the womanly "oh god let me tell you about this it's so terrible" way. You go to Nico when you need to vent like a man. By ignoring your problem and hitting something.
I don't even notice what's-her-face. As far as I'm concerned she doesn't exist.

>>28448270
>a sly smile on her lips.

like how Spinelle used to smile at us?

>>28448270
>>sorry, I'm looking for my friend

>>28448270

We're not an idiot, don't lead on the MILF, it won't work with our job.

Also, if we haven't asked Karel if he'd like to spar sometime, ask him before we part ways.

>>28448270
>>sorry, I'm looking for my friend

>>28448270

This is not the ara ara~ we were looking for.

>>28448330

Oh great idea.

"Sorry, I got to find my friend for now, but Karel, before this is over I would like to see your fighting style"

>>28448270
sorry
Also ask carol if we can spar sometime.

>>28448270
Reinhold completely misinterprets it as innocuous...
So yeah why not (even if she was only kidding. )

If Reinhold had better social skills is say go to Nico

>>28448270
>sorry, I'm looking for my friend
We should ask Karel to spar again sometime though. His mom wouldn't let him pass up a chance like that.

>>28448270
Nope.

>>28448270
>yeah, why not

Clueless Reinhold is clueless and just picked up another flag.

Being meido is suffering.

>>28448367
Reinhold isn't an idiot. He knows what's going on around him.

>>28448382
His immediately prior conversation with Citrine indicates he's quite clearly *not* clueless.

"Sorry," you say with a nervous laugh, "but I'm actually looking for a friend of mine..."
"Aww," Alice pouts. "That's alright, don't mind us."
"Sorry about my mother's... tendencies," Karel sighs. "I seriously hope you don't act like that at the party, Mom. The guy who got second place is going to be there too, you know..."
"Ooh, he is? Well, is he as tasty-looking as your friend here?"
"AAGH C'MON LET'S GO BYE REINHOLD," Karel shouts as he heads down the hallway in the direction you just came from.
"Byebye!" Alice waves as she follows him.

Monique... you don't even want to think of how he'd react to her flirting. Ugh.

Making your way to Nicolette's room, you knock on the door...

...and there's no answer. Great.

>[1/?]

>>28448592
>you don't even want to think of how he'd react to her flirting.

>>28448634
He's going to call her names, and we're going to have to punch him/challenge him to a duel.

>>28448634
Well, hell, she may not be noble but Monique hasn't landed anyone else.

>>28448592
>[2/2]

Seeing as how there's still a little bit of time left, you decide to go looking for her. You gradually make your way out of the residential area of the castle and into the main hallways...

...and there she is, just coming in through the gate.

"Hey, Nicolette!" you say, waving to her.
"Oh, Reinhold!" she waves back, smiling. "How've you been today?"
"Alright, I guess," you say, shrugging. "I was actually just looking for you..."
"Really?" a wide grin forms on her face. "What, you wanted to take me to the fountain and confess your undying love for me?" she says teasingly.

"No," you say, sighing. "I was wondering if you were in the mood to do a bit of sparring.
"SOrry, man..." she shrugs. "...but since my old man dragged me out here, I'm taking it as a vacation. No sparring, no guarding, none of that shit. Just hanging out with my friends and eating fancy food."
"And wearing fancy dresses?" you tease.

"...shut up about that, dammit..." Nicolette says, blushing. "Anyways, I was just about to call it a night. I'm totally fine with chatting it up with you along the way, though..."

>yes
>no

>>28448688
>you wanted to take me to the fountain and confess your undying love for me?
SYLVIE WHAT DID YOU SAY

>>28448688
>yes

>>28448688

Why not, really.

>>28448688
>yes

We're in too deep

>>28448688

>>28448688

This is the only answer.

>>28448688
>>yes

>>28448688
>yes

>>28448688

"Guys night out!"

inb4 hangover

>>28448688
>yes
I think after this we need to get back to our suite soon, though. We kind of need to talk to Marie about tomorrow's schedule if we want to visit Rana and Reya and springing that conversation on her in the morning when she's already prepared for whatever she's going to do that day isn't a smart move.

>>28448755
But...we can just cry about Volker and great grams and everything.

What we can't win with words we can win with tears.

>>28448688
>>yes
How has vacation been going so far?

>>28448788
I don't think that will be necessary at all, though I would like to talk to her about that stuff. She knows we were depressed about Volker earlier this morning and she's kind of our main confidant so far.

>writing

>>28448688
>yes
Was that really a question?

You could have continued to the training hall and practice alone.

>just coming into thread

>Reinhold says Citrine that Luciana has feelings for him.
Bloody hell. It's like you people want EVERYONE to know.

>>28448849
That sounds like a lonely euphemism for jerking off and crying afterwards.

To much talking not enough hitting things.

Seriously when was the last fight scene in this quest that we actually took part in? I honestly can't remember.

>>28448851
Everyone already knows...she literally said it herself.

It's not like it's a secret.

>>28448870
This isn't really a quest about fight scenes though...

>>28448870
Last thred.

>>28448866
>"What did you do last night, Reinhold?"
>"Hung out in my room. Alone. Polishing my sword. Alone. Like I do every night. Alone."

>>28448849
Would have voted for this but checked back with the thread to late. I am very disappoint.

>>28448870
I think you're confused about what kind of quest this is.

>>28448888
I'd post that meme if it hadn't been ruined years ago.

>>28448870
The last time we sparred with Nicollete, I think. Which was after that nat 1 dance.

Unless you count the curbstomps of the drunken fight at Granache and the guys who were fighting Reya earlier.

>>28448792
This is a thing worth small-talking about.

"A vacation? But ever since we stepped foot outside the castle, things have been so -eventful-! I mean, it's almost like we're protagonists in some sort of serialized adventure story!"

>>28448849
I suppose that poor Elena's just going to have to content herself with spying on the rank and file tonight.

>>28448913
Oh shit, you're right. I hope we don't miss an Elena flag by not going to the training hall.

She does have a point, it might be better to just head to your room now.

"Yeah, alright," you say.
"Cool," Nicolette says, smiling. "Let's go!"

With that, the two of you head back the way you came from. It kind of feels like you've been walking around in circles a lot today...

"So how's the vacation been?" you ask.
"Pretty alright," Nicolette replies. "Spent the day wandering around with Sylvie and Melanie, mostly. We went to some spaghetti place for lunch and had an eating contest... I think we scared Melanie with how much we ate," she laughs.
"Huh, I was just over there. So who won?"
"Me, of course!" she says proudly. "Had my pride on the line, you know!"
"Whatever you say," you laugh.

>talk about anything else?

>>28448934
I don't even remember why we're here, but
>That thing, whatever it is.

>>28448934
about the girl who can beat her in an eating contest.

>>28448934
"Speaking of which, I met a pair of adventuring siblings tonight. I think the older sister could out-eat you."

Did anyone else notice how Arch completely dodger Karel's mom saying either he or she?

Or was it just me?

Or Am I tired and missed you guys talking about that?

>>28448943
>>28448951
These.

>>28448959
Strong 50/50 odds he's doing it specifically BECAUSE we're questioning Karol's gender. But yes, I noticed.

>>28448877

She said it among people who know better than spread it among common folk.

Citrine is great person, but loose lips bring down starships.

>>28448934

"Luciana found Volker's memorial grave, Citrine and I went there this evening and actually met his mother! Long story short, We have a Grandmother now." *stupidly happy face*

>>28448951
I read that as "I think the older sister could eat you out."
Despite having my Yuri fantasies crushed, this.

>>28448959
If you saw Arc's response to whether or not adventure girl was waifuable, you'd realize that Arc is intentionally feeding the fire at this point.

>>28448959
At this point there's nothing arch can do to surprise us before the reveal to Rein.

>>28448934
Ask about her plate record. Compair size size with adventuregirl's.

>>28448924
You can't gather ALL the flags, friend.

>>28448934

>>28448943
>>28448951
This.

"I think if Melanie were there to see how much SHE ate, I think she would've passed out."

Plant the seed that will grow into the eating match of the century. and also give us a further reason to hang out with the new arrivals at some point later.

>>28448986
I like talking about Old Folks GET as well.

Yes. Yesss. We could introduce them.

Nico gets to pick from a set of twins.

>>28448986
>>28448951
I like these

>>28448986
I feel like that's a bit off topic at the moment. Maybe bring it up after if she asks us what else happened today.

>>28448979
>>28448989
>>28448990
I did figure that Arch did it on purpose just to mess with us.
But we have to shadowrun ourselves in a circle until we decide which way he's faking!

Not really, please no one do that again.

>>28448987
I hope she mishears us.

>>28448951
>>28448986
I support these, with slightly different words for the second.

>>28448989

I'd say, that at this point Karel is in state of quantum superposition of both genders. Question remains whether Arch intended it so, or whether (s)he transitioned into the state due to all the speculation.

>>28449022
Carol's gender is simultaneously both male and female until directly observed.

"Reinhold-senpai, my wave function is collapsing all on its own!"

"Speaking of which," you say, "I met a pair of adventurer siblings tonight. " think the older sister could actually out-eat you."
"Oh?" Nicolette looks at you curiously. "Is that a challenge? Maybe I'll have to find this girl and show her who the master of devouring is..."
"Heh, that might be fun to watch," you reply.

"Aside from finding me a potential rival, did you do anything else interesting?" Nicolette asks.
"Princess Luciana found where Volker's grave is," you reply. "Me and Citrine went there a little while and met his grandmother... and I guess she's our grandmother now too," you say, unable to hide a faint smile.
"...seriously? Dude, that's amazing!" she says, hugging you. "Man, grandparents seriously are great... you have no fucking idea how much I miss my grandpa. I'm sure you two would've really gotten along."

"He was Arnaud's friend, right?" you ask.
"Yeah, him, Arnaud and Celestino were beat bros back in the day," Nicolette replies. "Kind of how the two of us are the best of friends!"
"I think Sylvie would be jealous if she heard you say that," you say teasingly.
"Meh, she knows that she's my number one best friend. And you're my number two in two areas, thus making you a double number two!" she laughs.

And now it looks like you've made it to her suite.

"Goodnight, Reinhold," Nicolette says as she opens her door. "I wish you the best of luck with Sylvie!"

And before you can even respond, she quickly closes the door behind her.
