"The two of them were taken like me. That was intentional. If he'd only wanted June, he would've only taken June."

He waved his hand dismissively. "I love the guy, but Father just puts way too much value in the most useless talents. Those little gadgets July is good at making aren't going to make him a good emperor--and I get that bards can be influential and have the people's good opinion, but June is a bard who doesn't care about opinion and influence."

"Inventions and gadgets can serve an emperor well. Have you not heard of the war in Shenai?"

"You mean the stupid easterners squabbling over weapons they don't understand?" He replied smoothly, "Yeah, I've heard of it."

"Judging by the rising death count, I'd say they understand them quite well."

March shook his head.

"No, if they really understood the use of a good weapon, they'd stop killing their own men and come after Worru [the empire]."

"It's a civil war, March. If their own politicians can't agree with each other, they absolutely can't attack another nation."

"And that's why they're stupid, April, they should know how to agree with each other, they're all easterners after all."

Quote

I did not intend for March to be this insufferable, but at least some of the calendar comrades need to be antagonistic

She raised an eyebrow.

Because they're technically politicians and they can't reach an agreement with each other

"Hmm let's see, I'm saying that the easterners are stupid . . . a common insight I'm always happy to give . . . What's your point?"

March laughed out loud, shoulder's shaking.

"Don't be silly--we're having a discussion, they're killing each other over petty politics, that's entirely different."

He wiped a tear out of his eye and leaned closer.

"Besides, we may have our differences, but at the end of the day we're both loyal to Father are we not? The easterners can't say the same."

He grinned, thinking he'd 'won.' "Yeah, alright."

"What about you, didn't find anything I'm guessing?" March asked November.

She eyed him, staying quiet. She fiddled with her hair, the top of which was covered by her cowl snood.

"Would I have said anything if I did?"

November leaned back, his blue eyes glinting under the hood of his dark cloak.

"Also, March, I wouldn't talk about the war in Shenai as if you knew all about it. It's in poor taste, especially next to someone who has seen it with his own eyes."

March rolled his eyes, "Oh because war is so different over in the east. All battles led by silly politicians are the same, doesn't matter the country--I recognize foolishness when I see it."

"Hey where are you going?? We can start the search again soon enough, but let me at least finish my drink," March grumbled.

He dumped the last contents of his drink in his mouth, unaware of the offense he'd caused everyone--or at the very least uncaring.

She stopped, concealing her annoyance.
