Looks like Sergeant Gramps is gettin' a little finicky that some stuff hasn't gone down. I got an idea on how to introduce the king to the guillotine. Anyone wanna start a riot with me to kick it off?

Basically, I got this list of VIPs who frequent the bar I work at, right? Turns out, a few of these boneheads are some serious players. All we gotta do is get into a fight of king supporters vs revolutionaries and inspire 'em to start writing some charges up. Who's in?

[Geezus. That's rough. Always has been, always will be. He can’t personally imagine what it’s like; he knows he’s lucky in that both of his parents were so nurturing toward him and his sisters, even eagerly taking in Steve from time to time as another of his siblings when the need arose. It doesn’t take much for him to imagine how much burden that put on Ryuji in his youth, likely even now as he is still young, and the thought only stirs Bucky’s concern further, not for the guy’s immediate wellbeing but what it means for his future.]

That’s valiant of you. And I realize that sounds fake as hell, but I mean it. It takes a lot to think about others like that. I don’t doubt that she knows you’re trying your best, even if you feel like you just give her trouble.

For the record, I definitely get along with people just fine when I’m awake. I love connecting with people, seeing how everyone else sees the world. But there’s always more to people than what you see on the surface. That’s a good suggestion though. I’d give it a shot, but. We’re in medieval France, so.

Thanks for the confirmation, then. I had an idea cause you said your name’s Ryuji, but. I dunno. Maybe you were mixed or something. Doesn’t matter much I guess. Was just curious anyway.

And I’m sure the results will surprise you. It was commonly used during the war.

[Which one? He’s not saying. Just. Y’know. An war.]

[Ryuji just pauses, re-reading the first text a few times. It's just text, of course, but it comes off as earnest and anything but fake. This is nice. This is good. He's a simple, happy boy.]

Tch... Are you for real?

[It may look like annoyance, but that's the national language of Ryujiville for "I don't want to explain my feelings so I'm going to ballbust you now. Please look forward to it."]

I dunno. Listenin' to other people's perspectives too much makes your own go all sorts of out of whack. I've seen examples where it drove people to do some really shitty things. Then again, you're probably a sociopath if you can't see anything but your own perspective. So, whatever. Moderation, I guess.

So, like. You know where China is. You from my world? I'm Japanese, through and through. I got plucked straight outta [compton] 2016. What war are ya talkin' about?

[Sorry, Bucky. He comes from a time of relative peace, so that phrase sticks out to him.]
