"Play? The city's locked down. Where are we supposed to go play?"
"The gates are locked down, but we can still play inside the city."
"...Everyone's on edge, the streets are empty, and all the taverns are closed. It'd be a miracle if there was anywhere to have fun," Helian Chen grumbled.
Prince Yu raised his hand and rapped him on the head. "Silly, we can go play at the General's Manor."
Helian Chen's eyes lit up, but then his little face scrunched into a frown. "But it's so chaotic right now. Won't we just be getting in the way if we go?"
'Even though he really wanted to go, too!'
"That's a good point. In that case, let's not go. We'll just sleep at the posthouse."
"Royal Uncle!" Helian Chen whined.
"What is it?"
Helian Chen's mouth worked for a moment before he, red-faced and fuming, finally shouted, "You're mean, Royal Uncle! I'm never traveling with you again! You're a big meanie!"
"..."
