Staring Into the Void(Sky/Open)

[Isolde Spencer]

Fortunately for Jonathon, the elder brother was understanding of their plight and that he would smile while responding back to him. One might have thought that older siblings would actually have some sort of disproportionate retribution towards someone who probably never intended to harm the younger sibling anyway or maybe that was his brotherly instincts just acting up. Either way, the young man would never suffer any further injuries unless the young man was intending to harm the young lady which he probably made clear that he didn't want to hurt anyone for that matter. "I see then. Thank you very much for taking care of her. Oh but do you mind if I come along?" One might think that perhaps the elder brother might beat the snot out of him for being near his little sister, but fortunately he wouldn't actually do that unless real harm was intended. She actually wondered if her older sister would have done the same if real harm would have come to Isolde anyway. It actually seemed like the older siblings were at least really protective of their younger siblings and that she was fortunate to have two older siblings who would protect her. tag: Jonathon McDowell ▪ words: 252 ▪ ooc: None.

"Oh...uh, sure...I don't really mind." Jonathon said, surprised at how cordial and kind Isolde's brother was. "Yeah, I was just saying there's a place around the corner, not too fancy but the food is good enough." He said as he stepped out of the alley, taking a glance back at the rift that had grown quiet since their return, which was a good sign. It meant they weren't being pursued by shadows. It had happened to Jonathon a few times now and it was never an enjoyable experience. "So, where are you two from?" He said, trying to make conversation as they headed towards the restaurant. "I'm from the outskirts of the residential district but I go to the local college so I'm usually there..." He stopped as he realized he was starting to ramble and just looked down and kept walking.

So Jonathon was from the outskirts of the residential district where he actually went to the local college which it seemed interesting enough. He would then ask them where they were from which their answer would probably surprise many people if it was actually to be believed. "My brother and I came here from the kingdom of Nohr along with our mother, father, and our sister. I know it may seem like a really surprising discovery, but some people do not know our country even exists." Apparently, the young man was leading them to a restaurant though it was nothing fancy to them at the very least. The country of Japan was entirely different than what they were raised from and apparently, it was a bit fun to learn what kind of culture they were going to soak up compared to their own homeland. Hopefully, nobody would ever eavesdrop on their conversation or at least make some headlines about some royalty visiting the country of Japan. That would not sit well with Isolde's entire family and their own reputation despite their own homeland being a very small country. tag: Jonathon McDowell ▪ words: 252 ▪ ooc: None.

"Nohr huh? Can't say I've heard of it...you're highness." Jonathon said, realizing he was addressing royalty part way through his sentence. "Oh, uh, I'm sorry if I've disrespected you and your position." He said frantically, hoping disrespect wasn't an executionable offense in Nohr. "Well uh, here we are. Sorry it's not much." He said, showing off the establishment he was leading them too, a little place that didn't even have inside seats, just an awning and a bar set up. "Hi,three regular meals please." Jonathon ordered, taking a seat. "Just a heads up, there's a bit of a kick, sorry if that isn't your tastes."

[Isolde Spencer]

"Oh no, it is alright. You are not disrespecting my position at all, no." She could probably tell that it was feeling a little awkward just by having a conversation with someone that she just met already. After that, they would arrive at a restaurant where it mostly served food that was not found in their homeland at all. The restaurant was nothing special though it did have a bar for people to just enjoy a good old sake or something. The young man would lead them to the table where he ordered three regular meals for them and she probably hoped the food there would be delicious. Most of Japan's food would be authentic compared to the Japanese ramen that other countries had sold in their markets. "In truth, being the crown prince expected to rule the kingdom is not what people usually expect me as. It is quite tiring to be frank." Everyone back home probably expected him to be a very strong and infallible prince, but this was probably not the case at all as he had thought his position was a bit tiring. Perhaps the young lady had her thoughts about a strong elder brother all wrong though she still supported him to the very end.  tag: Jonathon McDowell ▪ words: 252 ▪ ooc: None.

"Oh, ok then." Jonathon said as the waiter brought over their three noodle bowls. "Thank you." Jonathon said as he nodded to the waiter and started to eat. "Ah, I needed that..." He muttered, fighting standard shadows alone was tiring, taking on Isolde's personal shadow was even worse. "Really? I would think being royalty would be the posh life. Being served, getting to run a country, stuff like that." He glanced at Isolde, making sure she was still holding up alright after their trip to the Inverse. "What could possibly be so bad about it?"

[Isolde Spencer]

Jonathon probably thought the life of royalty was really a posh lifestyle where it came to ruling the country, getting servants to do things for you, and other things like that. There were things that could be bad about it and that one reason was the most troublesome of all which hardly ever made their lives easier. Isolde could remember when they were small as their own father would not let them go outside much leading to the rather huge naivety of the entire world. Their own naivety would probably get them into trouble, but fortunately Xander was the sensible brother compared to his rather curious younger sister which made for some pretty troublesome shenanigans. "My position as crown prince limits the freedom that I'd rather have and that the people back at our homeland depend on me to be an adequate ruler. Still...I had to maintain my place as the future ruler or they will see me as a very weak king." After that was said, they would eat their noodles though the air was probably feeling a bit tense with that piece of hidden feelings that he may have kept inside for so long. "Despite the turbulence, I still support you, brother." Despite the apparent exhaustion, the blonde girl kept up her cheerful disposition. She wanted him to feel better even if he was a bit doubtful in that department. tag: Jonathon McDowell ▪ words: 252 ▪ ooc: None.

"Oh...Ok then...Uh, sorry it's that way for you then." Jonathon said, awkwardly eating some of his noodles. When Isolde made the comment about supporting her brother Jonathon looked at her again. He'd been there and heard what her shadow had to say. He couldn't help but wonder what was going through her mind when she said that. "I should probably get going...I have classes and what not tomorrow." He dug through his pocket and pulled out a pen, scribbling down his phone number on a napkin and handing it to Isolde. "If you ever wanna get in touch..." He muttered as he stood, leaving money for their meals. "I'm sure you probably have a massive royal treasury, but it's fine, I got this. I'll see you around." Jonathon said as he started to leave.

[Isolde Spencer]

Alas their meeting would have to be cut short as Jonathon really needed to get back to his classes which he scribbled his phone number for when she needed a call. This was truly the most exhausting day since she awakened her Persona, but fortunately her own sibling was not there to see that. He would probably have a heart attack if he actually found out she almost died from her own Shadow and even then, it was really dangerous to go inside that world while she was really tired. Once the young man would leave, the two would finish their noodle bowls before returning back home. Getting some rest would be imperative before she would set off again to find out what really happened to the missing people involved. Of course, she didn't want her own family getting involved in her dangerous affairs into the Inverse World, so she had to keep quiet about it sooner or later. The headlines on the news always intrigued her, but now it was something that would be worth investigating despite how dangerous that world was. tag: Jonathon McDowell ▪ words: 252 ▪ ooc: None.
