Video | Some man and myth they made up a thousand years ago
[It's been almost three weeks now, and Fai is still at a loss. He needs advice. He needs good advice! So of course, he'll turn to a bunch of strangers on the network - well, some friends too, but they don't exactly outweigh the strangers. but hey, at least he can be sure that his family probably won't see it, since they don't spend much time using their Warp Bands nowadays.]
[So have a tousle-feathered teenage boy in an obviously outgrown blue pajama with Poliwags on it. Don't judge.]
O~kay, I have a little question for you people.
Say you have this huge crush on someone and they feel the same about you and everything should be just fine except-
[He takes a deep breath, and when he lets it out you can actually see the drapes in the background fluttering. Stupid wind powers aren't good for much else.]
Except you know your super rich and influential family are going to disapprove. And not 'disapprove' as in think you could do so much better, you shouldn't commit yourself too much at your age, maybe you'll see things differently in a while. I mean more like huge rows and insulting them publicly and you quite possibly getting disowned.
[He makes a small grimace, sighing.]
Especially since you more or less just broke off the engagement with the girl they wanted you to marry.
But the thing is, you have to tell them. So how?

Action
And they're not going to disown you. [He only wishes he could feel as absolutely certain about that as he sounds.]
You should just tell them. They're going to find out some other way if you don't and then things will just get worse. Neither one of you is exactly the epitome of discretion.
Action
Maybe not. I don't know what they're going to do, though. That's kind of the problem. [Of course it's the insecurity of the situation that's bothering him the most.]
And I'm... I'm going to. I have to, as you say. I guess... Well, I just wish I didn't, at all. That there was some way for them to just know.
Action
[He puts his arms around Fai, squeezing him tightly.]
They'll probably yell a bit, and try to "reason" with you. And then, after a while, they will calm down and try to console themselves with the fact that Feliks comes from a very nice family and all the other good points he has and forget the fact that he's... not exactly what they'd planned for you. [Or so he hopes.]
And I know. But it's a good thing that you're doing this. And I'm sure you'll feel a lot better about it once it's been done.
