#it was a lot of fun

“I hope you understand that we have the interests of the public to consider with regards to how Ainsville is run, your Highness.”

I should have known it would come to this, that he would make this move. More attempts at convincing me that what he is doing is just. I felt the smile I had been wearing waver, looking down at the glass on my knees, my free hand clutching at the fabric of my dress.

“It’s a little difficult to see it from a public standpoint when I was there, Commander. It’s easy to convince a crowd when they can’t see everything you can.” I turned to face him, “I’m still certain that there has to be another way than this.”

“We’re at war, your Highness. And we don’t want the wars at our borders to grow into a civil war. Sacrifices need to be made.” He said simply, leaning forward on his seat, closer to me.

“I can understand your approach is based on necessity, Commander Reynolds. However, my country is not at war.” I return, raising my glass and taking a tiny sip from the flute.

“One of those people - even Rivera, the girl you met - could kill everyone in this room within the blink of an eye.“ He raised his own glass and gestured around the room, pointing at the various guests stood around mingling and conversing, oblivious to the conversation we were sharing here. “They need to be taught to act in their country’s best interest.”

“I don’t doubt it, but create a system that forces the minority to hate those in power, and you will have a revolution, Commander. I do not want to create a reason for such a revolution”

Here is an amazing piece of art I commissioned from @arrhythmiacomic of a scene me and @cirianne​ worked together on! A scene from a crossover where Anjelika visits the country Street Magic is set in, and has a conversation with the charasmatic Commander Reynolds XD

Thank you for drawing this for us, and I really hope you like it Sara!
