His Highness: But why is this my nickname? You all know I much prefer just going by Dimitri, right?
His Highness: And what’s with the semicolon and asterisk in your nickname?
Sylvain ;*: oh this? ;*
His Highness: Yes.
Sylvain ;*: claude may have taught you group chats but he clearly hasn’t enlightened you about
Sylvain ;*: E M O T I C O N S

Dedue: I did.

Sylvain ;*: you wound me

Sylvain ;*: i m p r o v i s a t i o n
[Ingrid] set [Sylvain ;*]’s nickname to [Sylvain]
Sylvain: :^((((((
Ingrid: Better.
His Highness: Anyways…
edgelord: What the hell is this
Sylvain: oh hi felix
Sylvain: about time
His Highness: Hello, Felix!
edgelord: I was training.
Ashe: But you were here earlier…
edgelord: Yes and when I saw what this was, I decided I wanted nothing to do with it
Ingrid: Then it was rather counterproductive to ask “what the hell” this is then, right, Felix?
Annette: ooohhhh
Annette: b u r n

Annette: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
His Highness: I’m sorry, but what exactly is an “edgelord”?
Sylvain: if you look in the dictionary, felix’s face should be there
edgiestlord: I’m muting this chat
Sylvain: aw you don’t want to leave <3
edgiestlord: I do but I know you’ll just drag me back
Sylvain: right you are
Dedue: An edgelord is someone who attempts to seem edgy by doing or saying risque or offensive things.
Dedue: And I did, in fact, find a picture of Felix from the dictionary I pulled this from.
Annette: DKXLSSZKSLSK
Ashe: Unbelievable!
Sylvain: WAIT SERIOUSLY
Sylvain: IM LAUGHING
His Highness: Annette, are you alright?
Ingrid: Looks like your sour attitude finally did you some good, Felix.
Ingrid: You made it into a dictionary! :D
Annette: im fine your highness I just key smashed
His Highness: “Key smashed”?
Annette: your highness I’ll explain it to you tomorrow in person
Sylvain: wait dedue are you actually serious
Sylvain: youre really telling me there exists a dictionary that uses felix as an example for the word “edgelord"
Dedue: No.
Dedue: I was kidding.
Sylvain: AW

Dedue: I agree.
His Highness: But we’re all friends, so you should all feel free to address me comfortably.
Mercedes: Comfortably?
His Highness: Yes! Addressing me casually would make things much more comfortable, wouldn’t it?
