Second Shard [Video/Action] Backdated to the 10th

[soheartless]

Once upon a time...

There was a prince who had lost his heart. Every day, he would roam the lands in search of it, longing for those feelings that he once possessed. His journey came to a stop when he found his heart in the clutches of a raven. "I'll return your heart to you under one condition," she said to him. "You must promise to love me and only me." The prince had no choice to accept. As he took his heart back and accepted the raven's hand, she became a beautiful princess.

But the prince's heart itself felt betrayed by this choice. He had never wanted to love a raven, regardless of her beauty. And his heart was left wondering if he could truly love anyone with his entire being...

[At some point after regaining his first heart shard and coming to recognize it as devotion, he finds himself unsure of his next move. And he flickers on the journal feed with some uncertainty - it was difficult to operate. And he stares into the feed uncertainly before speaking.]

This feeling that I feel...

It's the feeling of devotion. I recognize it.

Tell me. When you feel this feeling... What sorts of things do you do with it? How do you express this devotion?

[Action]

[Afterwards, he wanders through the village, seemingly aimlessly. He spends some time loitering by the fountain and perhaps spontaneously does some ballet. But all the while, he's also seeking Rue, as well as Princess Tutu.]

So she is then! Well. You two can spend time together and help each other out about getting to know more about.

And to ask you: How are you two close if I may ask? Because then that'll explain your feelings of devotion much easier and perhaps you'll find a more appropriate way to express your regards to her. Cause and effect happen to all. Even when it comes to affection. { Whether or not it lasts is a whole other thing but that's Addie being bitter Addie as usual. }

Yes. She helps me.

[And then he focuses on her question.]

The closeness that was express...

We dance with each other.

{ Dancing seems to be a serious thing where he is from if it keeps getting such frequent mentions. It faintly reminds her of his obsession with cards back at home. }

Perhaps perhaps... Throwing a-- How does one say it? A private dance made only for her can be a way to show your affection. { It should have enough sentimental value in it to be considered authentic and sincere. } What is a better way than performing a dance that was inspired by your feelings towards her? That could be a way to let her know how much she means o you.

A dance of... devotion. [He takes a moment to take it in. And he gives a nod.]

Okay.

Always happy to help, my dear! { She's just beaming. Not only that he has someone here he knows but because she helped him out. }

I suppose if one wishes to go the extra mile... Perhaps give her flowers after the dance? I can help you look for some that have special meaning to them. That flower language nonsense I've heard before. Supposedly it is all meant to be romantic.

Flowers...

They have their own language?

[inventings]

Where I'm from, yes. Every flower has a certain meaning. For example...

{ She snaps her fingers when an example finally pops up in her head. He was the one who had the weird obsession with flowers. Looks like some things stuck to her. } A red rose and a yellow rose. The same type of flower but the color changes everything. A red rose means passionate love while a yellow rose friendship.
