Shu wasn't quite getting it, or Takeshi wasn't phrasing it right. Smiling exasperatedly the older boy rubbed at his head, placing a hand on his hip as he let out a sigh. "I don't mean you've got to lead everyone, I just... You know, be your own person. Instead of relying on us for things you should try to learn how to do a lot on your own," he explained, "Here... How about we do this. Every time I do something you're not super sure about ask me, okay? I'll try explaining whatever it is so you know how to do it. That way I'm not trying to come up with stuff to teach you, and you get to learn whatever you want. It's a win-win situation, right?" Only not a second after he'd shared that idea did Takeshi find a problem with it; Shu had a lot of questions normally, and now the little guy was given permission to basically blurt them all out. If he knew his brother as well as he thought he did then he'd best be prepping for an onslaught of questions for the next couple of days. Chuckling uneasily as he thought about it Takeshi shook his head, trying not to back out of an offer he'd only just made. "We can make you a hell of a lot smarter in no time if you want, you just need to do a ton of reading and... Wait... Do you know how to read?"

"His Majesty isn't a warrior, at least not anymore. He hasn't fought since the last time the kingdoms waged war, you see, so he's been rather peaceful since then." The musician had to stifle laughter at the approach of the two girls, not having expected them to come running. He should have though, they practically hung around the entrance just for the chance to say hello to visitors. Taking after their father he supposed, even if it wasn't the most exciting job in reality. It only took a second for the proper greetings to be handed out, courtesy of Pyrus. Knowing his daughters they had bolted ahead to try and get the first word in, and had been successful this time around. Chuckling amused he waved as the twins hurried off to go play, looking up at the other Kaesstrian amused. "Always a handful, Pyrus. Maybe you should cut down on their sugar," Menma teased.

"It's easier to let them have a treat than to try denying them. You'll understand one day," Pyrus retorted, smiling as he looked then to T'charrl. So this was the Prince he had been hearing about then? And these other people, the aliens he was traveling with? What an unusual and unexpected party to appear on their doorstep, no doubt the King would want to meet them. Curious when T'charrl bowed to him the aide tilted his head some, blinking a few times before letting out a small chuckle. "It's a pleasure to meet you, prince T'charrl, but you're wasting your courtesies on a simple aide. I'm only His Majesty's advisor, hardly someone worth of this kind of showing from a Prince. All the same, it's a pleasure," he added, giving a bow in turn. "I wasn't aware your mother sent you, I suppose you'll want to see the King immediately then?"

It wasn't the fact they were twins that was weird, or their popping up. He was just having one of those moments where be became acutely aware of the fact Kaesstrians were bugs and his phobias were kicking in. Even glancing over at T'charrl made him shiver some, though it wasn't as bad when he saw the guy as a friend. "Shu... You do have someone that looks like you..." Takeshi mumbled, glancing down and gesturing to himself. Well, sort of anyways. Their faces were sort of the same and that was it, they were different in near every other regard. Watching relieved as the twins scampered off he looked at the advisor warily, shifting on his feet a little before clearing his throat silently. "So uh... What do you think buddy... Cool place huh?"
