It should be. [ ... ] I have some suspicions. My crest is one that is long, long lost to time, so it's kinda weird that it suddenly popped up in some poor little prostitute's son in some backend town in Faerghus, right?
[ he laughs at that. ] Nobility don't seem to have that luxury. Or, not all of them do. It's all about power and titles and what you'll get out a marriage rather than whether the people involved like each other.
I get the idea of arranged marriages, but those aren't so common now where I'm from. I'm sure they still happen but not the way they do where you're from.
I got really ill when I was a kid. Like... closing in on death's door ill. There was an old man my mom had helped in the past -- he was ill, and needed shelter, so we took care of him until he was better. When I was ill he came back and he... did something? Whatever he did it healed me. And after that, I had a crest.
No, it's fine. It helps? It's a Major crest, so it's nice and powerful. And no one who could force me into an arranged marriage to preserve it knows I have it.
Hey, the supposedly long lost Crest of a dead saint isn't anything to sneeze at. [ but y'know. fair. ] I don't have any intention of being crowbarred into marriage. Don't worry about it.
[ catch him and luca in ten years sitting up and going "oh. we're basically married aren't we?" because that's how it'll probably happen. ]

...what're your suspicions though?

Do you think...like he passed the crest on to you from himself or something? Can people take other people's crests?

Ha, maybe. People'd want the Crest more, so I should be safe with you keeping that secret for me.

Those people are dumb then. [thanks iris.] But we've kept you safe for this long, right? We'll keep going.
[it's not the same thing, of course, but she's very fond of yuri and all that he does.]
