This time we’re advancing the main plot I promise... ... after we check the side rooms, obviously.

We find Fun Facts in both rooms. First is that Diadem people put clouds in their tea, making it salty. SURE. (It also says that the desk behind is made of solid gold, which would make for one very fragile desk because gold is pretty soft)

And then we learn that clouds can also be... turned into pillows and mattresses? Sure. After all if we can walk on them it makes complete sense, doesn’t it.

Finally, we’ll see the training yard (by the Mindeer dock?) and meet the infamous king-

This is made considerably funnier by starting off-screen, makes the scene efficient. We see Ladekahn for basically five seconds before he runs off, Gibari takes the time to insult his dad (in-character, his thing was already to disrespect superstitions in EW), and they’re off.

The voice acting choices make Ladekahn sound so much younger than Gibari, but IIRC they’re supposedly the same age? That outfit also sure is a thing.

Anyhow we’re off to the audience chamber to clarify a thing or two. Of course committing the Knights to opposing Baelheit means getting a hold of His Majesty. Whose judgment is clearly er impeccable.

So of course our quest is now to go get a hold of those two. Things seem a twinge tense between Rambari and his son, a previous sentence hinted at planning a beating. Yaaaaay.

There’s a guy doing push-ups in the corridor for some reason, and the Greythorne head bob is perfectly synced to it. See the subtle change in the angle of the head? It’s delightful.

We can actually go into the training yard and take a peek! And get a heart-wrencher from Celsica.

And @amidoh specifically said I should check the statue for some reason. The description changes: pic 1 is before the cutscene, pics 2 and 3 are after.

Next time: heading to Nashira I guess? Plot Magic will have made the Cloud Passage manageable somehow I suppose.

... I just noticed that Ladekahn is missing a foot in that one screenshot he’s on-screen, that’s disturbing. Might have to replay the cutscene - I’m still stagger-saving to hell - and see if it persists as he runs down the stairs. Same with Gibari, the back foot looks too short.
