[ RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE!!! ] BRAVO!!!

Ah-ha! Very well! The Mighty Kieran is skilled in many such feats! Observe—!! [ The flip itself is really technically nice! He tucks in properly, the spin is crisp, but then— SMACK! right onto his face. He raises an arm, giving a thumbs up ] I PLANNED FOR THIS OUTCOME!

@RadiareWandrian WE ARE RUNNING THROUGH WAGONS THE WAY GATRIE RUNS THROUGH JERGENS LOTION, WE CANNOT SUSTAIN THIS

. . . [ Ugh. He hates how /nice/ he’s being! It’s /so/ hard to be rivals with a nice guy! In a surprisingly calm voice, Kieran speaks, peeking over Oscar’s shoulder onto the stove. ] Well enough. What are you making?

Ha. I see! [ Oscar’s food was always /upsettingly/ edible. He couldn’t even pretend to hate it. ] Have you— [ ugghhhh being genuine is so hardd ] Have you— been well? You are. . . busy, yes?

{🐎} I used to have such good Kieran theories… I will find and link some to refresh all of our memories bc i was cooking with him I think

[ A small huff! ] You know that isn’t what I meant. ( I am glad you’re well. ) . . . I— I— I cannot have my sworn rival falling to anything other than my hand!! Insuring that you are well simply secures that I am able to defeat you one day! That is all—!

MARCIA!!!

I HAVE RETURNED— AGAIN!!!

MARCIA!!!! HELLO!!! CAN I SEE YOUR PEGASUS!!!??

There has been a suspicious lad waltzing around and mimicking my manner of speech! How disgraceful! The Great and Mighty Kieran, Sub-Commander of the Crimean Royal Guard and former Commander of the Fifth Platoon, is not a man to be mocked!!

<— that “suspicious lad”

Ah! The graceful mare feasts— how stunning she must look! I shan’t disturb her, though. She must do all that she can to remain strong! How lucky you are to have such a steadfast companion, Marcia!

‘Games and Drinks’? After you’ve finished your duties I’d hope? Ah— nay! After you’ve /trained/, perhaps? [ uh-oh, it’s your superior officer! ]

Ah! So many familiar faces! They all must have gathered to witness my glorious return! (✨)

{🐎} btw it’s artscuffle season and I’ve already drawn Kieran for it twice
