[The feed opens to a very lost Estelle in the marketplace in the water district. She actually isn’t lost, however she is definitely looking for something that is not there, something that she thinks should be there.]I’ve looked all over this city, but I can’t seem to locate the library or any place that might hold information on the history of

I too--
[but he stops himself, not quite sure if he's ready to share such a thing with a perfect stranger. he doesn't even know this girl's name yet, would she really take interest in the life of someone she doesn't even know?
oh well. too late to take it back now.]

[She tilts her head in confusion considering she had covered a few things in her feed. Looking for the library? Misses his friends like she misses her friends?]
Are you looking for the library as well, or--
[Is he as lonely as she is? While they may be perfect strangers, she would easily listen to what he has to say.]

[he offers a sheepish smile in slight embarrassment, having lost himself for a moment, and it only takes a few split seconds to decide on what to do. it isn't something he would be terribly eager to share with the whole network, especially given how a few people who shall remain unnamed have made it loud and clear that they prey on the sensitivities of others; that and N is simply distrustful of other people for good reason. but this girl seemed sincere, kind-- anyone who shared their predicament should be.]

What I had meant to say was, I too was confined exclusively to my castle, more specifically to my room, until recently. My arrival here has enabled me to meet many interesting people and learn many things about humans which I would not have been able to do until I had met a friend of my own.

You were in the same situation as me, then. While it was safe inside, I never got to learn the things this world had to offer, nor could I hear the cries of the people suffering.
[She pauses for a moment realizing what she had just said. Considering there was now a filter between then, she figured it wouldn't hurt to be truthful in return.]I was confined to my castle, however I guess I was lucky and wasn't confined to my room like you were. I was just indoors until I finally was able to escape with some help. Then again, being a Princess who was in the running for Empress, I couldn't just walk around as I pleased. Thankfully, they ( ... )

That does sound like quite the monumental responsibility. I was a king myself, and lead a large organization called Team Plasma, but my domain is no more, not to mention such titles seem to mean nothing in Zodion, so it's not something I call great attention to. When our plans were set in motion, I was allowed outside for the first time. However, it isn't until I met a special friend of mine that I truly became free to think and feel as I please.
[a brief pause as he too contemplates the gravity of his words.]
As heartbreaking as your plight was, it also gives me hope to see someone in circumstances like mine rise above these conditions. You seem to have a good understanding humans and that is something I hope to achieve as well someday.

But his domain is no more?]
Was there a war in your world? Were you...defeated?
[Though she didn't stay on that topic for long. A special friend who helped them to think and feel as they pleased. She knows that feeling, of someone who showed them what was really going on the world, and the cries that needed to be heard.]
I, too, have a friend who taught me to think for myself and to make my own decisions. Honestly, I don't know if I would be who I am today with him or my other friends that I met on my journey. They're all a special part of me. To them, I wasn't a princess, or Lady Estellise - to them, I was just their friend, Estelle. That meant and still means so much to me.

he's quiet for a moment, his expression softening into a small, sad smile, and he doesn't quite meet estelle's eyes when he speaks.]
As I said, I was the king of an underground organization called Team Plasma, which was founded by the Harmonia family and headed Lord Ghetsis and myself. Whether Ghetsis was the previous king until my birth and coronation or simply acted as the family head, I do not know-- truthfully, there is little about my family line I know with certainty because I found out that I was ultimately being deceived.

I can understand why you wouldn't be able to trust anyone after being lied to for so long. It...it hurts being lied to like that. But this Touya, he's been helping you to see that people aren't that bad. However, I can't convince you of that just by telling you that people aren't bad even if some of our experiences were similar.
[Being kidnapped and almost being forced to kill her comrades thanks to the commandant she trusted is too much of a painful memory to speak to him about at the moment, but maybe if they were ever able to become closer, she could tell him that - that he's not alone, that he wasn't the only person lied to like that.]Shouldering burdens alone is difficult and ( ... )

It pains me to hear you've suffered from a similar situation. But I do believe you, make no mistake about that. Because of Touya, I can believe that people are not completely terrible without exception. Meeting you has also been a wonderful experience for I had always felt as though my upbringing was a situation unique only to me. Being able to see someone who is as kind and genuine as you function on a level I have yet to reach gives me great hope.
[he doesn't quite know everything about her, but the general situation and the sincerity behind her demeanor allows him to trust her, and N can feel that they are indeed kindred spirits, can understand one another.]Friends are truly wonderful ( ... )

Why thank you. I as well thought my situation was unique and it is nice to be able to speak with someone who has shared similar circumstances with me as well. Though I'm glad you see me as someone who is kind and genuine.[Though someone would say that that kind of kindness and sincerity would come from her naivety.
She giggles a little more.]
I would be more than happy to be friends with you, too, if you don't mind. Also, I don't believe I caught your name. As I said, my name is Estellise, but you can call me Estelle if you would like.
[She's heard him speak about these pokémon quite a lot now and is rather curious as to what they are. He said they were creatures in his world, but what kind of creatures?]May I ask what kind of creatures ( ... )

[N is always happy to talk about pokémon, evident in the softening of his smile.]
Most certainly. I'm very passionate about Pokémon and have always regarded them as my friends. Simply put, Pokémon are creatures capable of a great many skills and powers, and are very intelligent and empathetic as well. They are most commonly trained by Pokémon trainers for friendly competition, but they are also kept as pets and other companions. I have heard them likened to animals by many here.
