"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"
Honestly, I don't know too many knights on a personal level, but you're right on those numbers. It's a nice little bright spot, even if Ludger still refuses to show off his shoulders.
Oh, but there's Naoki, and he runs around without a shirt entirely!
Hmm, as long as he is a good person and doesn't needlessly strip off his clothes for the sake of showing off his physique, I'm certain I'll find him agreeable.
[ . . . . haha wow does that sound similar to the last event or something or]
You speak like Natalia. [ with a nod, as she glances at the TV. ] Formal, but earnest-- so I guess that's princessy, but I don't see anything wrong with that.
I guess princesses are pretty important to a lot of people... but I don't think you should try to hide it, either. Do what you usually do, and if anyone picks up on it, hopefully they'll know you well enough by then that it won't matter.
But it's also difficult to consider the matter so casually when I'm still responsible for my kingdom. If I trust someone with the information that somehow uses it as leverage, seeing as I hardly believe my world is gone, I could risk doing my country or myself a disservice.

here comes the contemplative look]
... though I suppose you could say so. Knights are always rather dashing, aren't they?
[though now that she's thinking about it]
There's a remarkable number of good-looking men here....

Oh, but there's Naoki, and he runs around without a shirt entirely!
action;
Is there something remarkable about shoulders?
[Though she can't help but sigh a bit.]
I'm not sure if I find perpetually half-naked people entirely appealing, regardless of how muscled they are, admittedly.

She pauses at that for a moment before she just frowns.]
Truly? Oh, that won't do....
[that's not... the normal reaction to being compared to a princess, probably]

[To put it lightly. Then with renewed determination, she continues-]
I'm doing my best to adopt more colloquial speech if I can.
action;
action;
common speech?
commoner talk
uneducated babbling--
no definitely not the last one]
..... Perhaps.....
General.... terms?
[there was a distinct effort being made]

Does it come off as princess talk or just generally obnoxious?
[wait which is the better one in this situation]
action;
action;
She's getting more contemplative at that.
Hmmmmmmmmm.]
I'm still not sure if that's better...
Perhaps I should train myself into using more - ah, common language!
action;
action;
I'd rather not give the impression that I speak like a princess....
[and now she's internally warring with herself. Should she keep speaking? Should she tell Yang? She really might as well tell Yang-
but hrrmmm, is it necessary.....]
action;
action;
[She understands the good-natured words but at the same time.... She fusses lightly with the pillow in her lap before she sighs.]
Yang, in my home world I am known as Princess Natalia.
.... for that precise reason, I'd rather not bring that with me here.
action;
What do you think is going to change? Are any of your subjects here?
action;
[Though.... her voice does sound warm. Ah, Yang responded as casually as she thought she would. That's a relief.
But more importantly-]
I've already had people start to treat me differently once they learn...
I'd rather that not be the case. That's all.
action;
action;
I would hope so....
But it's also difficult to consider the matter so casually when I'm still responsible for my kingdom. If I trust someone with the information that somehow uses it as leverage, seeing as I hardly believe my world is gone, I could risk doing my country or myself a disservice.
[politics..... sort of]
action;
I'm not going to say anything to anyone about it, but I don't think it's as bad as all that.
action;
[There's not a shred of doubt in her voice, but she hums softly.]
Perhaps not but.... getting to pretend to be someone I'm not for a little bit - it's quite fun!
[people treat her differently and it's neat!!]
