Lelouch thought about how to explain his world. "I come from a kingdom called Pandovia and my Daddy is the king there! We have great ice-cream! But our sky is black and there are lots of evil monsters outside and not many plants because Pandovia is near where the dark god lives! So we don't have many wild bunnies, but lots of people have them as pets! Just not me...I'm not allowed to own a real bunny yet. But I'm allowed to care for the ones here in Evelon! I like being in Evelon because everything here is so bright! I wish everyone from Pandovia could come here! Everyone is really nice at home and loves me because I'm the prince and cute and adorable!" He beamed, obviously happy to talk about his home and also a bit proud of being a prince. "One day I'll be king and I'll make everyone have a bunny! And then I'm sure the dark god will see all the cute bunnies and become nice and all will be good!" He had it all planned out, clearly!

[GrayGriffin]

"You're a prince?" exclaimed Truce, shocked. "Does that mean we need to bow down to you? Or just your dad?" He paused again. "If your dad is the king, does that mean you have a castle? Kings have castles, right?"

"Error: Not all kings reside in castles. Also, not all family members of kings reside in the same area as they do." Hex's mechanical voice suddenly interrupted Truce's questions, and he turned.

"Well, yeah, but I'm asking Lelouch here about his own specific life!" He paused again. "Why can't you take everyone from Pandovia over here? Evelon is really really big and I'm sure that there would be room for all of them! If your dad is the king he can make a law, right?"

"Everyone bows to my Daddy at home and mostly to me as well, but I'd rather get huggies instead", Lelouch exclaimed. He didn't get all that bowing-stuff anyway and what it was supposed to be for. "But Daddy said that here in Evelon, no one has to bow to me because I'm not the prince of Evelon! ...I'd still like huggies, though. And we do live in a castle. But a lot of other people live in the castle, too! All the nobles and the maids and the soldiers and the servants and the people who have shops there! And my school is also in the palace! And we have lots of ice-cream parlors! Pandovia is a...a..." Lelouch searched for the word that his father told him. "A city-state!" He beamed. "And our palace is really big, so lots of people live there. There still live more in the city, though."

Lelouch paused when Truce asked why not everyone from Pandovia could come here. "Well, I don't think everyone would like to turn into a Fellox. And our Chateau in Whisper Forest is a bit too small for that. And I don't think Auntie Haephnes wants everyone here. She only invited some of us, after all." Then he remembered that his new friends had no idea who Haephnes was. "Auntie Haephnes made the portal to our home and she's awesome and all magical. Daddy says she's something like a goddess, but only almost."

[GrayGriffin]

Truce only looked more confused. "She invited you guys only? Are you sure about that?" He thought some more. "Well...how do you know they'll all turn into Felloxes? Maybe some of them will turn into other types of creatures! And they don't all have to live in the same place, do they?" However, there was plenty of other things of interest.

"What's your Auntie Haephnes like? Does she look super-powerful and awesome like those goddesses you see in paintings? Hex, do you know anything about her?"

"My database of religious knowledge is limited."

[44, 17]

[Shieba]

"Well, I think so." Lelouch was feeling more and more unsure. "At least Daddy says something like that." He sighed. "I'm small and cute and a child, so the adults don't tell me much", he admitted, pouting a bit because of that. Adults were really mean sometimes! "And well, everyone has turned into a Fellox so far! Even those from other worlds who came to the Chateau!"

Lelouch thought about how to describe Haephnes. "She's a Fellox and she's black, but she glows golden! And when Auntie Haephnes is around, everything feels warm and you are automatically happy! And she can watch you even if she isn't around. She knows everything, too! And she likes bunnies! My Daddy said that she is something like the pet of the Creator of our world. But not just some pet, but a pet the Creator made...as an 'image of Herself and as a companion'. But I have no clue what that means!" He beamed. "But she's really nice! As nice as the goddesses here are! I met Sa'ouna once and she's nice and she gave me a huggie!"

[GrayGriffin]

Truce listened intently. "That still sounds really cool though! One of my brothers is a Fellox! But he can also change shape, so he can be a lot of things, but he likes being a Fellox best!" The Shartile paused as he tried to think of what to say next. "And...according to him, he's kind of a god! Or at least a really powerful spirit! He says he represents the spirit of the whole world!" To emphasize, he waved his arms wide. "Maybe he knows your Aunt Haephnes, since they're both kind of gods and they're both Felloxes!"

[45, 18]

[Shieba]

Lelouch listened with wide eyes. "The whole world? That sounds really big! I bet your brother must be super-big and fluffy then! Is he here as well? I bet he can find you really quickly then if he's like Auntie Haephnes! Then we can also ask him if he knows her!" It seemed logical that they would know each other, right? Haephnes seemed to know a lot of people here anyway, even if she was from another world. Lelouch briefly wondered if Haephnes could transform into something else as well, but he had never seen her as anything else but a Fellox. Maybe he would ask her the next time he saw her.

[GrayGriffin]

"He's supposed to be here!" agreed Truce. "But I think he went off on his own. He does that a lot! And sometimes we have to look for him for a long time and Hex can't sense him either so we just have to look everywhere. Because sometimes he turns invisible, or he goes somewhere else completely. But he always turns up in the end! Maybe if we talked to Haephnes she'd tell us how to find him faster!"

"He can also turn into mist, which is part of the reason he is difficult to detect," added Hex.

[46, 19]

[Shieba]

"I wish I could turn invisible! I could get ice-cream without Daddy noticing me then! Do you think he can teach me how to do that?" The idea to sneak around like that was pretty awesome to Lelouch. "Auntie Haephnes isn't here, sadly. She never leaves the Chateau. I'm only here with Daddy and Dio. They're both Felloxes like me. But Dio is also a Dracon and he can teleport and do lotsa magic! They're probably really worried by now." Lelouch himself wasn't worried at all, still, but he figured that his father would be really upset. "I think if Daddy gets too worried we won't come to such festivals anymore since I'm the prince and need to be safe!"

[GrayGriffin]

"I do not think that could be taught. At least Anonomastos could not teach it," added Hex. "He is a spirit, and you are not, so your natural abilities will be different."

"But maybe he could help hide you! He could turn into fog and you could hide in the fog!" suggested Truce. However, when Lelouch mentioned his companions, he tilted his head. "But if Dio can do magic and teleport, can't he just find you with magic and teleport here? Or at least he should be able to search for you very quickly! He can just teleport around and not need to walk!" He accentuated this statement by making little "zipping" motions with his claws.

[Shieba]

"But people sometimes say that I'm spirited!" Lelouch insisted, obviously not really knowing what the word meant. "And I don't think I wanna be fog. Whisper Forest is full of fog and I don't like it much."

Then, he shook his head. "No, Dio doesn't like to teleport when it's crowded. It's super-fast to teleport, but it still needs a second. Dio said that when lots of people are around, someone might walk onto the spot Dio wants to teleport to during the spell and then Dio would either end up on or even in whoever is there all of sudden. I don't think ending up in someone is nice. It probably hurts lots!"

[GrayGriffin]

"By 'spirit,' I mean a creature that is not fully mortal," added Hex. "Truce described Anonomastos as a god, which can be considered either another kind of spirit, or a higher class of spirit."

"What he said!" replied Truce. However, when Lelouch explained about Dio's teleportation, he winced. "Ow! Yeah, you're right. It already hurts enough when someone lands on you! Landing in you would be even worse! But he could still do magic, right? Can't he do magic to find you or communicate with you in your mind?"

[48, 21]

[Also, I'm going to start an open RP with Anonomastos (my custom Fellox). Maybe you could bring Zeo or Dio into it?]

[Shieba]

Lelouch paused. His friend Minahana wasn't fully mortal, either, but no one had ever called her a spirit or a goddess, so he was really a bit confused by now. However, as usual, he wasn't really bothered by it. "Yeah, I guess then I can't learn it. I'm just cute and small, after all!"

"I don't think he can do that", Lelouch said. "Dio can do lots of stuff, like zapping people and making magic shields, but I don't think he can sense me because I'm not a mage with magic he can find. And well...I know Dio talks to Daddy in his mind sometimes, but he says even the people he does that to need to train a bit until they can hear him." Maybe Dio would want to train him after today? Lelouch hoped not. He didn't need more homework and teaching!

[I can do that tomorrow! I need to go to bed now, though. It's past 6am. XD]

[GrayGriffin]

"Aww..." Truce definitely looked disappointed. "But if he can hear your dad, doesn't that mean he might be able to hear you? Because maybe you got that ability from your dad!" He wasn't sure if it worked like that exactly, but he did know that magical abilities could show up in your kids. So that shouldn't be any problem, right?

"He may have inherited magical tendencies, but not exact abilities," suggested Hex.

"Well...even so, maybe it would be easier for you to learn since your dad can already do it! You could have both of them teach you and then it would go double-fast!"

[49, 22]

[Shieba]

"Nooo, Daddy can't do that magic at all! It's all Dio casting the spell! But Dio says the one he wants to talk to in their head has to be calm and focused and that needs to be trained. Dio said I'm too energetic and my head would be too full of bunny-thoughts and ice-cream-thoughts so far! But he also said that that's normal for a child, so it's all okay!" He beamed. "I like thinking about bunnies a lot!" Though he had to admit, it would be nice if he could talk to Dio or his Daddy in his head more. Because really, his Daddy worked so much that Lelouch was alone a lot - but if his Daddy worked, he probably had no time for head-talk, either.
