[There is a very pretty... is that a boy or a girl? Anyway, this child seems to be shouting at a group of boys who are definitely taller, and it looks like a fight is brewing. It might be good to try to break it up in the interest of keeping peace, but hey! Watching might be fun too, right?

Especially since the smaller child has just lost it and thrown a punch.]

[This is a video post. Some serious stuff has just gone down over crystal!chat, and now there's what appears to be a beautiful young girl on the feed.]

Excuse me, but... I've been watching what's going on. However, I'm not very familiar with the kingdoms involved, and I'm afraid of its effects - could someone please explain the situation to me?

[You're by a lake, or maybe an ocean - it's a decently sized body of water at any rate. The view is nice, the weather is good, and it's the perfect place to relax a spell.

And if you stick around long enough, you may even see the tail of what has to be a very large fish as it dives deeper into the water. Maybe it would be a good time to go fishing? You may need a net, though...]

"Hey!" Dick said, running towards the group. "HEY!" he reiterated, luder this time since it seemed like they hadn't heard him the first time.

"Hold up a sec. Let's not do anything anyone'll regret."

[mermaidprince]

The boys seem ready to back off, but the smaller kid requires a little more disentangling due to having his teeth firmly in another's arm.

"W-we weren't trying to start anything! She just went nuts on us!"

"You would too if someone kept insisting you were a girl!" The kid seems especially angry about this.

[dickandharry]

"That's not a reason to take a bite out of his arm." Sure, he and Ron had probably done worse to Malfoy, but that was after months of Malfoy continuously ignoring the fact that they wanted nothing to do with him.

[mermaidprince]

"So you're saying I should just sit back at let them hit on me? I'm not a girl, and I don't like guys, either!"

"Wait... you mean you aren't?"

...Judging by his expression, the smaller kid looks about ready to go off on them again.

[dickandharry]

"You could have just, y'know, walked away."

Dick turned to the other boy. "And you...probably should get glasses."

[mermaidprince]

The small boy gives a "Hmph," as he crosses his arms, glaring at the other boys. The number of times he's gone through this has left him with a short temper, but like he's going to tell a complete stranger that. The boys, for the most part, seem to be more than ready to awkwardly make a run for it.

It's made all the more graceful when the boy gives them the parting word: "Idiots."

It's all a buncha old men fighting over who called historical dibs on land first. Let 'em have their fun.

[mermaidprince]

[That doesn't help at all. Leave it to a stupid girl to not say anything, argh.]

I know that. But I'm a traveling performer, so I need to know if it will be safe to move on or not.

[distorts_space]

Oh. Right.

Uh, I guess as long as you don't live near Sawa you'd be okay.

[mermaidprince]

Sawa was where we were planning to go next.

[The kid gives a sigh. Talking with the leader is never a particularly enjoyable experience, but in a situation like this...]

There's no avoiding it. I'll have to let the ringmaster know.

Just war. Only war.

[mermaidprince]

Which countries are involved? I thought I heard something about a temporary alliance, but I was distracted so I can't be sure.

[greyerrant]

Sawa and Amestris, specifically.

[mermaidprince]

[Well crap.]

That's where we were planning to go...

I'll have to tell the ringmaster about it. I don't think anybody here wants to wander right in the middle of a war.
