[glaciers]

They're great places for news that people aren't supposed to talk about.

[There's always somebody who wants to be a royal and they'll do whatever they can to get the crown. Including assassinations. Shouto would know, he's been the target of plenty.]

[inheritance]

That really works? [There's a spark of playful interest in his eyes now.

And then, there's a thoughtful silence that most likely doesn't bode well. It means Izuku's getting Ideas. ]

[glaciers]

You shouldn't do it.

[inheritance]

Why not? If you're there with me, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Besides, we'll go in disguise so no one recognizes me.

[It seems like he's serious about this. Still turning the idea over in his head, Izuku mutters quietly to himself about the clothes they could use to pull this off, completely forgetting that he's supposed to be helping Shou get settled in.

If anything, it just reveals the more naive side of the prince that's somehow remained intact through the political mess.]

[glaciers]

[It's in this moment Shouto realizes exactly how much of a handful Izuku actually is. Out of one stressful situation into another, it seems.]

You are plain.

[If any royal could get away with it, it's this kid.]

[inheritance]

[Weirdly enough, Izuku doesn't look offended at all. He just grins at Shou expectantly, well aware of his own plainness.]

So that means you'll do it?

[glaciers]

I'm going to tell you it's a stupid idea, but if you're set on it I can't leave you alone.

[inheritance]

Hey, at least I was a commoner before Toshinori married my mom. I know how to handle myself in the streets.

[That's debatable, considering he grew up outside of the city.]

Let's go tomorrow night? Then you'll have had some time to rest.

[glaciers]

[Doubt.] It's different when you're royal. Keep your hood up.

Fine.

[inheritance]

Great! [Unperturbed by Shou's obvious lack of enthusiasm for the trip, Izuku just continues to smile at him.]

How's the room, anyway? Is it to your liking? [He gestures at his new chambers sheepishly. They got so caught up in politics, Izuku forgot to ask.] If there's anything you want that's missing, we'll get it to you.

[glaciers]

It's fine. I'll tell you if I need extra blankets in the morning.

[Because really it's got everything he needs. Unless this place gets incredibly cold at night.]

[inheritance]

[Sounds fair to him. Izuku nods agreeably and then heads for the door that separates their rooms.] I'll let you get settled, then. I'll be in here if you need me for anything.

[He pauses in the middle of pulling the door open.]

Oh, before I forget. You should head up to the tailor's in the morning. They'll take your measurements for the clothes you'll wear to the ball, and give you any other clothes you need as well.
