Of course. I'd like to get to know more about you and your world, and I will share with you fond tales of mine.
[ He might as well get to know his new allies if they're going to be here for so long and work together. He wants to know who he can trust and rely on. ]

[ That's a bit startling. He's never seen Corrin snap like that at anyone before, let alone himself. He does feel a bit chastised, unsure what he should do. He settles for trying to be honest. He owes their fearless leader that much- ]
...Forgive me, Lord Corrin. I'll leave it as it is. Truthfully, it's for the better. I wouldn't be able to do a good job like this. I can't keep my eyes open any longer.
[ As hard as it is to admit, he is utterly exhausted, probably more than he has been in a while. He hadn't exactly fared as well as he'd pretended to when he arrived in this place and had been doing so much to adjust, to help his allies, to help the princess.
The weight comes crashing down on him all at once from above, and he slumps over on the nearest chair, sagging like a rag doll as his head hits the table, ready to sleep for a century. ]
I'll only be... a bit... my lord.

[ He knows- well, he can tell, and it breaks his heart that the poor man's been doing so much more than he can handle. It's why he quickly rushes over to his side, moving an arm in front of him to support him and he whispers- ]
Subaki, hey, not there.
[ He'll be walking him to the bed now, thank goodness for sword-strengthened arms, and quickly pushing the covers aside, he has the taller man slip under his covers. ]
Rest here. I'm going to be reading, so- please don't argue, and just sleep.
[ There's a quiet smile on his face as he pushes the blanket up over him before he does protest, and covers him so just his head is sticking out. ]
You'll do better when you wake, okay? I know it!

A-ah, then an even trade!
[She can do this, she has many things she would like to hear from him. That and if he wants to know a few more things, she doesn't mind sharing. After all, back home, her life is public.]
Then let us do this, I would like to know many things about you. Also, we need food for ourselves. What do you like to eat?

[ His reply is a muffled set of garbled words spoken into the pillow as he turns over and smushes his face even harder against it. It's most undignified, but he's in no position to argue right now, hungering for the sleep he's neglected to give himself for so long. He's definitely making up for that lost time now as he finally rests, but he'll be quite embarrassed by this in the morning! ]
Don't worry about provisions. I will handle all the logistics as I did back in my own home world.
[ It wouldn't be right to make her work on his behalf. He is the one who proposed this little venture after all. ]
You only need to bring yourself along.

[ Now, who could this mysterious gift-giver be? No, I'm sure he and Sakura have consulted over this, so he knows exactly who it is.
Look, at this adorable princely puff giving him things. He's legitimately touched. Are they at c-rank now? ]

Of course, I am sure. I never make promises I don't intend to keep. Leave it all to me.
[ He's not going to budge on this, and it's hardly any trouble. He's used to planning trips for far more than just two people. This is nothing to him. Besides, if he's in control, he'll remain assured no details are forgotten. ]

Dear Friend,
We may not know each other very well yet, or maybe at all! I've only seen one battle here, but the amount of bravery and care that people have shown for one another both on and off of the battlefield lets me know I'm part of something special. People have lost their homes and loved ones, and while we can't bring those back, I know that there are people here to believe in. And I'm very lucky to get to fight alongside them.
It's not much, but I hope you enjoy a few snacks that I've made! A full tummy always makes me feel better. Maybe we can share a snack together in person sometimes soon.
Sincerely,
Orihime Inoue & Kou-kun

The package is wrapped in pink and blue paper. When unwrapped, your character will find three cute little animal-themed pastries! (You're welcome to decide which three.) They have a sweet bread outer layer and some curious fillings...
Pink Bunny is hopping and happy to see you! It is filled with a sweet carrot cream.
Purrfect Kitty is very pleased and ready to be eaten! It is filled with some sort of chopped meat, reminiscent of a BBQ Pork bun.
Sleeping Froggy knows it's delicious. It's filled with a MYSTERY FLAVOR...which is either a sour green apple or...seaweed?
Friendly Puppy isn't supposed to have chocolate, but it's filled with it anyway. Don't tell anyone!
Cute Chicky is filled with a egg-flavored cream. Yeah, that one actually isn't surprising, although maybe a little morbid when you think about it.

[This package you will receive doesn't come by Carrier. Rather, Vietnam has given strict instructions that this will be treated like every large package, and will be delivered like so. After all, it is one! A letter, and a little box. Wonder what it is? And when do you receive it? Any time between the September 6th to the 15th. And in the case of the newer Heroes, it comes sometime on the 8th or after (hint hint).]

COMRADE,
No matter our opinions of our situation or this place, we are all the same, brought here from different places. Still, we all have each other. Whatever fate has in store, we will chose. I suppose what cane be important here now are the bonds we create.
To celebrate that let me share a custom. In my world, sometime in the Autumn, is the Mid-Autumn Festival, known to me as Tết Trung Thu. It is said that during this time, the moon will be so round and will shine its brightest. To appreciate the moon, one can ask for blessings from the gods. You can give thanks for the harvest or harmonious unions. You can pray for prosperity and good fortune. But also, it is a time to spend together.
Each year will it would be celebrated on a different day. In the year I left, 2016, it should fall on September 15th. I believe the equivalent date here is Sylvant 15th. So please take this chance to relax. I have included one free pass to a two night stay at the inn I manage, Dragon's Flight and Phoenix Dance, located on Gisela. On these islands, you will be able to see the sky, so very close. I have also included a mooncake of lotus filling. As per custom, you share your mooncake with family and friends to signify unity. I hope it is to your tastes.
May your year be filled with prosperity.

[ On the seventh, Subaki will find a note attached to his door. ]
Subaki,
Sometimes it is best to share a gift with those who are near and dear to us. For that reason, I am inviting you to a special gathering, on the 10th of this month, at Seven in the Evening, in the Hall of Glory Commons. I will be bringing a mooncake, as they are best shared with friends and family. I could think of no one better to share this treat with.
There is but one catch: You must invite someone else to attend as well. As said, these gifts are best shared with friends, new and old. Should you wish to bring anything, teas and other snacks are highly encouraged. I will leave that up to your judgment.
Sincerely,
Lux Crownguard

[A small package is delivered to Subaki, accompanied by a letter. The paper and ink are high quality, as is the hand writing.]
Dear Subaki,
I appreciate the gift, though I do not see what use I could have of it. Still, I suppose it is in my best interest to refresh myself on the rules here, seeing as I am in a different country. So I thank you for the gift.
In exchange, I chose a book that you might find of use in this place.
Sincerely yours,
William H. Twining
[Along with the letter is a book entitled "The Unfashionable Man's Guide to Style: How to Look Like a winner," written by J. Maurice Defoe. Hey, William's trying to be helpful.]

[ And a little friend follows, though don't be deceived! Inside the pegasus-pouch are some hair accessories to keep Subaki's hair tidy on a windy day! ]
 Dear Subaki, Thank you very much for saving me during the battle at Central West Plateau. We may never have spoken before then, but the fact that you’d put your life on the line to help a stranger speaks volumes about your character. I am truly honored to fight by your side. Furthermore, from what I understand, you’re Sakura-chan’s retainer, right? I am quite fond of Sakura! It warms my heart to know that she has such a kind and strong young man looking after her and protecting her, and that she has friends from back home here now. Please, if you ever need anything, do not hesitate to contact me. I would like to get to know you better. Sincerely yours,   |
[ attached is also a golden silk hair ribbon. he remembers that subaki also has long, well-maintained hair. ]
[ There's some sounds of laughter and conversation in the distance, almost like the carrier is transmitting this accidentally. Though finally, a shaky voice speaks up. ]
It's so. So...oo unfair, you know.
[ The words are drawly. Almost like someone's had a little too much? ]

My lord, I don't think it's quite- ...
[ He squints and tries to listen in a little closely- ]
Are you well, my lord?

[ At least it's not on your face, Subaki. ]
... heh, hehe. Subaki... it's just you. I sat on Asal.
[ He sounds almost sleepy, gee, wonder why. ]
Just so unfair. Isn't it unfair... when everyone remembers different things?

[ Why him... just why him? Well, he better take care of this before Sakura or Takumi catch wind of it. Otherwise, Corrin would be embarrassed. ]
You didn't happen to accept a drink from a stranger, did you? Hasn't anyone told you before not to put strange things in your mouth?

Maybe... It was nice, though... long and shiny. You should try it sometime... makes your mouth tingle a little.
[ What is he even talking about ]
I didn't know it'd feel that good... kind of made me feel happy, Subaki. I haven't really been happy here...

[ He also has no idea what he's talking about. Long and shiny? Clearly, he didn't put a sword in his mouth... ]
You haven't been drinking alcohol, have you?
[ That would explain quite a bit, but it's also rather unlike Corrin. ]
I don't believe I've ever seen you in this state. Did someone coerce you into it?

[ The carrier switches to video to show that, yes, his master is definitely indulging in something long and shiny. Corrin only smiles, his head on his arm on a counter of some tavern, as he smiles at his carrier while listening to Subaki's voice from it. ]
No... just told me it was a good way to not think... it really helps, you know. Haven't thought of anything at all.
[ He chuckles ]
I had too much to think about. It wasn't very happy, either.
[ He wouldn't have given in like this back home- back home, they had far more to worry about that disappointments wouldn't let them linger on them. But here- he actually can linger. And it's not good. ]
