#new IssaNava content

Anonymous asked: What kinda stuff do you imagine Issachar and Navarre getting up to? Is there any particular thing you think they'd enjoy doing together?

Something I had really liked about the IV Prayers manga was how Navarre was actually really interested in literature in that. Granted, more because literature "in vogue" and "fashionable". But nonetheless, this does give me a bit of commonality to work with in an AU lmao!

Literature without moderation is a dangerous thing for Issachar, as we all know. But I do still fancy the idea of these two finding a couple books to read together and bond over. Navarre would just initially see them as another fad, but books are windows to another perspective and -- with a friend to share them with -- could open his eyes to new realizations. I think also just having someone with different experiences to discuss literature with would be a lot more enrichening to Issachar too. Maybe even the act of bonding over books would be enough to save him from spiraling down too far.

It really depends on the AU for what sorts of shenanigans they'd get into. I've thought of them fishing together (as Navarre struggles to learn but determined to keep up), dancing or singing together (as a fusion of Casualry and Luxuror styles), Navarre taking Issachar to skip work together so he'll lighten up some. Or even just...the two of them growing humble together in their expectations and choosing to stay in Mikado as common Samurai while the others go off questing. There's a lot of possibility.
