If you'd asked me when I left Arabasta how I thought this was going to turn out, I would have never thought that I would be here now.  It felt so good to wake up this morning and know that my nakama are right here. There's never a dull moment around here, so I haven't had time to think yet, but soon I should send a message back to my father and

So it's not very fun wherever you live?

[regal_azure]

Oh, that's not it at all - I love my country and I'm proud to serve it. It just ... suffocates me a bit sometimes; an occupational hazard, unfortunately. I'm just happy to be back with my friends.

[key_destination]

...I think I get what you mean. I'd rather hang out with my friends than do missions sometimes.

[regal_azure]

That's it exactly. Especially as I haven't seen my friends in so long.

[best_thief]

Ah, so you're part of the Thousand Sunny crew, huh? Me and my tiny crew are inning here for a bit, so if you see me around, I promise I didn't sneak on to steal anything.

[regal_azure]

I've only just recently rejoined them. Yes, I heard you were coming; it's good to have you here.

[best_thief]

It's good to be here! It's been so long since I've met a princess, I can't wait to say hi~!

[regal_azure]

Same here! It would be good to spend some time with you while you're here.

ooc: is Carue also on board?

[strayswordsman]

Welcome back.

he definitely wasn't when they left saobody; we could say he followed them?

[regal_azure]

Thank you! It's good to be back.

haha, sure! who minds a little handwaving when it comes to nakama. >.>

[strayswordsman]

Mm. Yeah.

[strayswordsman]

...Has Carue been here the whole time?

[star_devourer]

Are you a runaway from home?

[regal_azure]

Not exactly... Well, technically I was kidnapped, but I'm happy to be back here among my nakama. I'm not sure I like thinking of myself as a 'runaway', though; I may have left my country, but I definitely haven't abandoned my duties to it.

[star_devourer]

You must have wonderful friends.

[regal_azure]

Yes, I'm very grateful for them.

[needs_a_plan]

Guilt is overrated, princesa. I'd avoid it if I were you.

[regal_azure]

That's the thing, though - I'm beginning to feel guilty over the fact that I've not been feeling guilty ... if that makes any sense?

[needs_a_plan]

It makes sense, but I think my point stands.

[regal_azure]

Yes, you're absolutely right. I should just focus on enjoying myself now, while I can.
