"Her name seems to be Emils, and she is indeed one of the [Dragon] clan."
The matron retreats to her desk, sliding her glove back on.
"She seems to be a very healthy child. I don't know what kind of life she has led to look the way she does, but she does seem intelligent. Just a bit lacking in education. I could put her up with the children if you wish, or you could take care of her on your own."
I nod at the thought.

"She seems proficient in swords, spears, and magic, just lacking in practice. She could join you as an apprentice adventurer in due time. I also sensed a something hidden inside, but I don't know what. Maybe in time she'll open up to you."
"I see. Thank you Matron."
"So what are your thoughts? Do you want her to live with you, or would you like to keep her here in the orphanage?

>>782851
Keep her with you, maybe you can find out what her secret is?

Apprentice now.

>>782851
dude, she's the second last of your kind. you can't just leave her to get drug-addicted and teen-pregnant.

Keep her close by you. Say, you don't lock your bedroom door at night, right?

>>782851
Considering the similarities, people are going to talk either way. Not to mention anyone that rolls up looking for you might go for her first, so you might as well be in a position to keep an eye on her, possibly learn about her in the process.

I spend some time to think.
"Considering our... appearance, it's probably better if she stays with me."
"mm-hum."
"It's not like as if a third of the city haven't seen me dragging her me down here already."
"Oh. So where did you find her?"
"Christopher found her."
"Christopher... Chris... Isn't that the boy you found wearing your underwear?"
I flinch at the thought.
"...yes."
"I see. I guess he brought back news from home?"
"Ah... yes..."

How much could I tell her?

Like you are one to judge...

I don't know why the secrecy is needed or who you can trust, but if you have doubts and don't want to talk about it it's better to avoid the subject.

I assume that's why you two aren't together anymore. I don't know, how much does she already know and how much do you trust her to not speak of it? You gotta be careful when you're the last of the royal line of a now defunct nation.

>>782859
If there's much reason for secrecy, just that it's bad and you might get unwanted attention in the future.
If she's a friend and tbh it seems she already knows a bit about your past, let her know this room might contain the last of the dragonblood rabbolds

Just tell her they're feeling a little under the weather.

For no reason in particular, touch your thumb to your nose and waggle your fingers in the air.

>>782867
Second.

>I flinch at the thought.
Seems a bit hypocritical from someone going by "Sir Victor" on a daily basis. (Or was it the fact that it was specifically your underwear? I can see that being creepy if he borrows it without asking.)

>How much could I tell her?
She already apparently knows your real identity (between knowing your name and the bloodline stuff) and it will only be a matter of time before she hears the news from elsewhere, so keeping what happened secret from her would only do you any good if you both distrust her and also plan on skipping town before she hears the news from someone else. Also, if you do trust her (which you seem to), than she should know about the risk of plague spreading in this direction and/or the possibility of people coming here to hunt for you.

I'm under a false name to prevent the nobles from home to figure out where I am. I have never bothered hiding my gender or correcting anyone who had assumed my gender. On records, I'm nothing more than a someone with a title and grey fur in this kingdom.
And yes, it was my underwear. A whole set of it. And damn it he even acts like a better woman than I do without trying.

"Uh. It's not um. Hm."
"Take your time dear."
"The kingdom has been hit by the [Mana] Plauge."
Her expression drops.
"That's terrible!"
"The people has evacuated, but I don't know the scale of the damages."
"How are you feeling?"
"My sister stayed behind, knowing her, she'll be the last to leave if she could."
"Victoria?"
"With how long it takes to reach here, I can only assume the worst for the kingdom."
"Victoria."
"No doubt there might be one of the nobles who would come seek me out."

The matron presses a hand on my shoulder, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Victoria. What about you? How are you feeling?"
"I... I don't know. I am not sure what to do."

Train this slime perfectly normal rabbold to be your people's legacy, and their revenge. They will grow up strong and absorbent, soaking up all resistance in their path, and establish a new dominion of grey goo white rabbold supremacy!

Lol, Emils stopped copying when Vic looked over at her. Little slime is catching on quick.

Well Victoria... There isn't much you really Can do. You can either wander aimlessly in futile hope of finding survivors, or march back home and succumb to the plague yourself.
You're best off just laying low here for awhile. At least until you know the danger of the plague has passed. Maybe more news will find you?
In the meantime you have more.. Immediate problems. Like this Kid. Hell she doesn't even have clothes.

>I... I don't know. I am not sure what to do.
I guess I'll just try and keep on trying to do what I've always done around here. I mean short of packing everything up and head back there myself I'm not sure what I really can do and I feel that if I did head back it would do more harm for everyone then good. I... I just don't know how I should react. Maybe helping Emils might help me get some peace of mind if only to help distract me from myself.

What exactly is a Mana Plague anyway?

I'd say for now you continue to live like you have been. If your sister sends word to you requesting help, or you learn that she has passed on then you can consider what to do for your people.

>>782884
You might have to carry on the family line. Or outright become Queen. You should just wait until you get further instructions.

In the short term, what you should do is meet with Christopher somewhere you can talk with actual words to get more detailed information.
In the longer term, as the apparent last heir to the throne you have a responsibility to proactively make a decision rather than just waiting for word from the higher ups who no longer exist. You need to take stock of your political skills and allies/enemies among the nobles who might have survived where the royalty did not. Your presence could either help bring the survivors together or worsen their internal power struggles, and depending on which of those is more likely you should either go lead them or lie low and take steps to ensure you are not found.

>I have never bothered hiding my gender or correcting anyone who had assumed my gender.
Mmm hmm. Pure coincidence you chose an assumed name that is masculine and otherwise the same as (and therefore not too hard to connect with) your real name. (In terms of disguise effectiveness that's somewhere down there with just having your name backwards, and what kind of silly person would do something like that?)

>>782884

Raise the child goat-rabbit man-lady. They may not seem like much, but they may also be the last of your kind other than yourself before long.

On a side note, can't fucking believe we went with Emils. Why not Emilia or Fred Emils or anything that's actually not a tongue-and-cheek give away.

>>782885
From a renaissance noble perspective, this is a the sanest plan imaginable.

>>782885
The kingdom's dead anyway. Do this, and see what you can make of an empire of gelatinous dirt.

Oh, you should take care of the kid so you can keep an eye on her, but don't forget she probably needs to make friends and socialize with others her age. Once she starts talking properly, anyway. Can you focus on language lessons until then? Also figure out what her likes and dislikes are, so that you can get a good system of reward and punishment. She might need to be taught morals as well; carrot and stick is kindof useless unless she knows WHY she needs to do x and y.

"For now, I suggest perhaps taking care of this girl. It might give you a new direction in life."
"Right. I will, or at least until her parents shows up. I would like to know who they are if they do."
"So, in regards to her education, would you like to put her up at the guild or have her study here? Also, would you like to stay for dinner?"

I could teach her myself, but I'm not exactly one who has been given an average education.
The guild would teach her various skills, but she would have less people to interact with.
The orphanage here would offer her life skills and a few kids her age that she might get along with.

Also it's getting a bit late as is, I could make it home to make an easy dinner for two, but staying for dinner means having to introduce Emils to the rest of the place.

Teach her yourself. Your skills are unique, and in short supply. Plus there'll be no witnesses when we eventually eat you.

Split it between yourself and the guild.

This was just thrust upon you, so you may have to adjust before it's your fulltime job.

Send her to the guild. She sorely requires an education. And the corpses of the nation's most highly esteemed academics to consume and mimic.

>>783057
She should be taught at the orphanage for a while. Once she's more socially adjusted she can get some skills from the guild and maybe get a job as an adventurer since she apparently has talent for combat skills (good way to get mass! Eat monsters!) Teach her what you can while she's staying with you.

>>783057
Look, the kid is reaching out for you. She wants to stay with you.

Mmm, I think having her stay at the orphanage part time to learn social skills while you being her primary teacher in life\occupational skills would be the best. She is clearly socially stunted and her few talents seems to lean towards adventuring.

>>783057
The orphanage first to pick up some basic social skills seems necessary. Whatever happened to her, she can barely talk right now. She's gotta learn how to be a kid before you can mold her into more.

Teach her yourself at least to start with. She would have a lot of trouble fitting in with other kids at the orphanage or guild if she is sent there before she can even speak. The next few months are also the most likely time window for people hunting [Dragon] rabbolds to show up, so keeping her close during that time would be a good security measure. Also, the fact that Lizard Mom survived implies that becoming Rabbold Mom is actually the choice with the best chance of not getting eaten.

Hmm... she does need people skills. Whatever is the best way to teach her those.

>>783057
I say teach her yourself first, to form a bond.

teach her yourself and maybe you can find out where she came from. Also stay for diner to see how much work you need to put into Emils's social education.

"I've decided to teach her a bit myself when I have the time. Otherwise, I was hoping for her to take some classes here, just to get along with kids her age. Maybe have a chance at a normal life."
"Yes, it would be best if she could open up more. I believe I can set her up in Marie's group if this is the case."
"Yes, thank you. Later I could start enrolling her in the guild classes to get her proficiencies up. If my predictions are right, we both might end up being targeted."
"I see. Having some form of self defense would be best."
"Also, could I bother you into getting her an ID and some clothes? I don't exactly have small clothes with me."
"Of course dear, I'll set her up as your niece. Probably easier to explain that way."
"Thank you again, and I'm not too sure about dinner."
"No problem, I should have the ID ready for you tomorrow, and as for clothes, you may meet up with Marie to get a set of clothes and to introduce Emils to her."

I get up from the chair, Emils copying my movements, and make our way to the door.

"See you tomorrow Matron."
"Take care Victoria. Good bye Emils"

I guess we can try and track down Marie real quick and get things set up. Or if it's to late in the evening for that we can try first thing tomorrow.

>>783086
Tell Emils to say goodbye

Clothes can probably wait until tomorrow since Emils has one set, so next on the to do list would be dinner. Its surprising the kid isn't visibly malnourished after being in the wild for who knows how long.

Emils: Say "Goodbye" once.
Attempt to make the sounds a bit faster, like how they speak them.

"Close enough."
"Keep trying Emils."

I make my way towards the inner compound, to the courtyard, finding an Avaros tending to the garden.

"Hello Marie."
"Oh, Hello Victoria, it's been a while. And who is this little lady?"
"Her name is Emils. She would be joining your classes in the future."
"Hello Emils, would you like to say hello?"

Emils stays by my side.
"I'm afraid she's a bit... shy. I'm afraid she seems to have a bit of trouble talking."
"Oh dear, is she alright?"
"The matron says she's fine, but she does need some friends if you know what I mean."
"Ah, I see. So how can I help you today?"
"Ah right, I need some spare clothes. I'm afraid I don't exactly have a set of small clothes for her to wear."
"Alright, just follow me to the store and I'll see what I can pick up for you."

I'm imagining the adults let Emils dress herself and, since she doesn't know much about clothes, she'll come out with pants on her head or something goofy like that. Then Victoria has to help Emils get dressed.

Blue creature starts wrapping me up and constantly changing what it wraps me up with.
This is exhausting in a sense. I wonder what she tastes like.
Before I could attempt to try something, Red eyes speaks up.
"Okay that's enough. If we keep this up it'll be sundown by the time you're done."
"Aw, okay, this is at least presentable."
"Thank you for the help Marie."
"Think nothing of it Vic. It's always nice to have some time together."
"I guess I should start heading back now. We'll see you tomorrow."
"See you two later, and take care!"
Red eyes starts to lead me away from this place. Perhaps I'll get another chance next time.

maybe this is portable food try tasting the part near your grabby bits

Huh, they're all wearing clothes, so by putting these on you they're helping you fit in. You should say thanks.

Also, you know you don't have to eat/taste everything or everyone, right? Just go with the flow, learn things, learn how to be/act like a person instead of just looking like one.

Eat a bug. That'll get written off as typical weird kid behavior.

Those creatures are aware of the missing people. You can't eat people at random when you are living in their society, they will notice.
In the future, when you decide to eat someone you will consider the risks of doing so and in what circumstance you can get away with it. For now you will only eat the kind of food the rabbolds eat.

Yeah eat rabbold food. And maybe a bug when no-one's watching. You've got more to learn from these people than what they taste like. I mean look, you already learned how to make fruit juice!

If you eat any of these people, they will collectively destroy you.
You could maybe get away with eating a wounded or dead one, but only in private.

But if you blend in, they will give you their food.

Eh curb your frustration for now.
They will help you absorb things that you could not normally eat, like Knowledge.

And your pink dress realy brings out your eyes quite nicely. Given that they are complementary colours, I guess it was on purpose?

Puff up and chirp with righteous indignation. Surely, they wouldn't mistake it for you being pleased with this situation.
