( Emilia di Carlo has seen better days, by the look of her. Her battle leathers are torn, soot and cuts still on her face — but she doesn't give in to the exhaustion just yet, nor the bile in her throat. First, she addresses the people of Alem, dignified and resolute. )

Prince Haiva sacrificed himself and leaves his sister, the young Cle-Florens, spared.

I was witness.

( A pause, then, as she allows that to sink in. )

Hell is sealed.

You fought with valor so others might live. I'm glad to have fought beside you, and will remember your fallen just the same.

If you've yet to evacuate, the time is now. Hassir awaits.

Nope! You put people into your family registry, but it's not the same thing as filling out paperwork.

Huh. I mean, not like I really care about the "official" ways to do things, but... I teared up when he said he's legally changing his name, okay! Bawled like a little baby!

[ Wow, she must be REALLY tired to admit this. ]

[weifinder]

Changed it to what? Your clan name?

( still sounding actually curious, but this is a whole slew of other emotions for him. )

[traaaaaash]

We'd just say "family name", but yeah.

[ Haha welcome to the "accidentally acquired a child" club. ]

[weifinder]

He volunteered this, ah? Fascinating... not really what you'd expect to see where I'm from. I'm happy for the both of you!

[traaaaaash]

Yeah, it was a surprise! I was so sure he was leaving.
