Tales of Graces f: DAY FIVE
I am playing this fucking thing before today eats me.
Starting from: Meandering hopelessly and miserably away from Lhant. :(

So, recap: Asbel grew up and was all excited to become a knight, but his father was killed in a border war, so he had to go home and do lordly things. Everyone there hated him for abandoning his family, so he struggled with the decision of doing the right thing and taking over lordship of a territory where all his friends think he's a jerk, vs doing the thing he really wants to do and going back to the place where he has friends and dreams and aspirations.
He decides to be responsible and resign from the knight academy and become lord of Lhant, but the border war half-destroys it. Then Hubert, Asbel's little brother who was sold off to a nearby noble family, sweeps in to save Lhant. His power levels are over 9000, putting Asbel quite thoroughly to shame, and then he banishes Asbel.
Asbel hates his life for a while, and now we're just kind of meandering, seeking a cause.

If men are chasing after Asbel, Sophie is in danger by being with him. With the same amazing powers of ignoring the fact that Sophie is like 10x awesomer than him that have served him well for the last seven years, Asbel decides that he should try taking her to Richard -- Richard can protect her.
The stalkers find us again and go "I KNEW YOU WERE PLANNING TO GO TO THE CASTLE!" Just as long as you mean that in the sense of "I knew that would be where you'd run" and and not "I knew that and that's why I was chasing you", because he only decided to go there because you were chasing him, which is kind of circular, you see.
It bothers me that I don't have any idea what these guys want.
Envoy: To see Prince Richard? How do you plan to visit someone who's supposed to be dead?
Asbel: Wait-- Richard's dead?!
Were you paying attention, Asbel.

We find someone crouched down and clearly struggling through the tunnel.
It's -- Richard!! :D
Richard is as surprised to see us as we are to see him, and also surprised to hear that he's allegedly dead. Asbel gets under his arm and tries to lead him out of the tunnel, but we are attacked by "Cedric's men". Asbel and Sophie get between Richard and the soldiers, and now we fight!!

Asbel tries really hard to call Richard by his title like a prim little knight, but Richard doesn't put up with that nonsense! Teasing about how he could order Asbel to call him by name.
Asbel sheepishly agrees.
"Formality just doesn't suit you, old friend."

We exit the catacombs and Richard unceremoniously drops down onto the sand, refusing to go into the nearby hut. Asbel warns Sophie not to go too far, because seriously, she is a retarded seven-year-old and she will just walk off cliffs if Asbel doesn't get all overprotective parent on her.
I... I think Richard and Asbel are her parents. Richard offered to hold her hand earlier.

That is the best thing I've heard all week. XD
Is it time to talk about the plot?
Richard: My father was murdered.
Asbel:What a coincidence! So was mine!
Asbel: What?!
Richard: The royal guard turned on him. I fled into the secret passage.
Asbel: BUT-- BUT... KNIGHTS.
Richard: Yeah, that's kind of the disturbing part. Betrayed by his own knights.
Asbel: BUT I WAS GOING TO BE A KNIGHT.
Richard: Asbel, you saved my life, again. You weren't going to murder me.
Richard: "I thought about that day as I fled the castle. I was so desperately hoping you'd come to my aid. And you did. You actually did. ...You have no idea how happy I was to see you, Asbel."
First of all, awwww.
Second of all, holy shit someone was happy to see Asbel
Marry him
