She asked if I wanted to handwave it or have a single comment in Leslie's inbox, and I'm so glad that I said that a tag would be cool if she had the time/energy.

Because I keep looking at it and, like. Okay, it's a tense situation and Hubert is very busy caring for Edelgard who needs all of his time, but I'm laughing so much at his amazing bedside manner.

So that's how Leslie's week has been going.

Definitely not hiding a body

It's probably the body of someone villainous, Leslie thinks.

Probably.

The actual timeframe is vague to allow for flexibility in character schedules, but I decided to assume in Leslie's comment that it's taking place at some point during the expedition in which Leslie is looking after Hector's dog because it just made it extra funny to me that she also has a dog to be taking care of while this is happening.

haha

I'm glad

Leslie is very confused, but she trusts that Edelgard has whatever this is under some level of control!! (Nope.)

Felix: "You can tell me if Hubert does anything shady."
Hubert, appearing out of the dead of night after a blood curdling scream: "GET OUT."

Oh no, I may have disturbed the neighbours with how much I laughed at that.

Oh, just FYI, I'm going to drop you an inbox tag tonight

so Edelgard can explain

:V

It would probably go really badly if she took Felix up on that for this, since he's miles away right now. One more thing he has to worry about that he can't do anything about like Sylvain doing something foolish.

And eyyyyy I'm getting all the Edelgard inbox tags. I'm liking it.

Even if Leslie will have a time with "I died but I got better," especially since she doesn't know vampire lore.

oh this is gonna be lovely to deal with

you wanna thread things? if so, my inbox or yours?

I was thinking I'd hit your inbox up for it!

Give a tag of Leslie arriving on Lorenz's doorstep for him to enjoy.

I wasn't sure if I'd contact you about it tonight since you're feeling under the weather, but now that you're here, I'll write it up and send to you for you to reply when you're up to it.

this is absolutely incredible

awesome, that sounds like a good plan

RuddyOwls: The expedition doesn't get a monopoly on stress.

It's such an incredible tag.

Fortunately for everyone, Edelgard is not letting Hubert collect anyone

But she's a spooky, extra weirdo in her own way

LMAO SHE'S MIST-FORMING INTO LESLIE'S ROOM you're all so extra.

I mean have you met the Beagles

(pauses to consider each Beagle in turn) You are correct. I think Dorothea may be the least extra of the Beagles and that's a very high bar.

IDK

Some of the things she says post-timeskip are EXTREMELY extra

Caspar, however, is a simple creature

You're not wrong.

But I feel like Caspar falls under extra just because he may be simple, but he does his simple things at 200% energy and 400% volume.

YOU WANT TO YELL, THEN I'M GONNA YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL!

I could support my professor's investigations, OR I COULD CHALLENGE THIS SHADY CHARACTER TO A DUEL!!!

Have we considered Linhardt? He only wants for 2 things in life: crest research and naps

he's creepy af, but really and truly he'll skip everything for a nap

he'll skip life for a nap

I feel he's gone past lazy into ultralazy.

he's basically a meme

so lazy it's extra?

that's funny

I guess my understanding of the exact definition of extra in this context is a little vague, but I usually think of it as doing way more than the situation calls for, so lazy to the extra works in my head.

Time to slip Lorenz's invitation to the fun into his inbox. No rush on replying if you're still wanting to take it easy tonight!

/screams

LMAO THIS SEEMED LIKE SUCH A SOFTER REQUEST WHEN I ASKED YOU.

I'm already assuming he was a very good host in a post-dead-rising world.

yes exceedingly

bought her clothes too since she only came with... one outfit + gown

tea. her own bed.

all the hospitality stuff

What a good man.

What a good man. Lorenz is on top of things very quickly.

There is Momming to be done

BEagles will not be immune later

oh no leslie :<

saber needs to check up on her more often

woodrift: none are powerful enough to escape...The Mom.

dragoon1940: She was doing pretty okay, stomachache aside, last Saber saw her, but if she met her during these 48 hours, she'd get to see a pretty droopy dog-walker.

She's out on the expedition, alas.

In lighter news, Leslie is talking to a modern day Earth person and, upon finding out that Earth doesn't have magic (in that version), she thought wow their technology must be really bad since they d....

(Note: outside of devices that seem to only be available to the very rich, it seems that Leslie's canon mostly has a technology level that is, like, 1700 but no one invented the gun.)

dragoon1940: Ahhh, yes. Good luck, Sir Saber!!

Leslie may at some point message Saber to make sure she's doing okay out there.

Sorry, Hubert. Whether or not you told Edelgard about getting mistaken for a child-kidnapper, she knows now.

It was a very serious thread.

He... Definitely did not if the Bond did not wake her, hahaha

Excellent.

I made sure that she described it in a way where she said Uncle Hubert, too.

End him

i apologize to leslie for saber's depression

gsdragono: At least she didn’t tell Lorenz or Felix.

dragoon1940: It’s fine. She’s also got depression! ...Oh wait that makes it worse.

Haha. Really, it's karma for all the name shit Fang gives Ozy

Fang ducked the karma and it flew over her shoulder to hit Hubert.

The man's just too tall

I'm sad that the nickname will not persist, because it takes some doing for people who are literally adopting her to convince her to call them by familial names. But the dream.

I mean, Edelgard knows, which is one more witness than we had before

but he'd probably die a little if she used that against him

LMAO Edie’s got a new way to short-circuit him, huh?

Maybe one day she’ll try to convince Leslie to use it for real.

It wouldn't be a full blue-screen, no

but boy is that whole incident embarrassing for him in a lot of ways

Letting the incident get resolved by a child who recently asked if it would be rude for her to watch people courting is not his proudest moment?

Pfft

He maintains a sinister air about him intentionally, but really, he was going more for "around every dark corner you don't expect him to be and probably harvests the hearts of his enemies" not... "Yeah that looks like stranger danger"

OKAY YEAH that’s a very different look.
