[ ACTION ]

[This post is brought to you by ALL YOUR BOOKS ARE BELONG TO US. Except not really; if anyone frequents places like the local library or bookstore, they'll probably be able to spot one girl who doesn't come by so frequently sometime during the day, but that's not so interesting. What's interesting is the fact that she doesn't even seem to be reading the books she's flipping through, merely trying to find something she's looking for.

And all these books seem to be focused around one thing: the Maid of Orleans, Saint Jeanne d'Arc. :|a What's up with that right... So why not ask her why she has her face buried so intensely in a book clearly being interrupted is what she needs right now!!]

[And if that adventure should prove to be unhelpful...] Bonsoir, mademoiselles and messieurs. I fear this is a rather odd question to ask, but...

[She pauses. There really is no subtle way to go about this, but she can't help her curiosity since in the end it is, well, about herself after all.] Is there anyone familiar with saints and the like? I had a question about one of them, and I am afraid the research I attempted did not prove of much use.

[... He might as well respond. Despite his great and intense dislike for them, it wouldn't hurt to seem useful to the residents here.]

I'm quite familiar, yes. What's your question?

Ah, well... [Man it's so hard to try and keep this subtle why is she even trying again.] Were their birthdays usually recorded?

Their birth years, yes. Birthdays... not normally, unless they're relatively recent. Why?

I was, ah, merely curious about it is all. Still, I must thank you for taking the time to answer.

Is there one you were wondering about specifically?

Well, yes... Saint Jeanne d'Arc, to be precise.

Ah.

[He chuckles a little.]

Her feast day is the thirtieth of May, and the closest anyone has to her birthday is January sixth. No one knows for sure, though, because registers for non-noble births weren't started until several generations after her.

Her feast day? [Well this is news to her.] Does it celebrate something...?

The Catholic Church assigns one date out of the year for every canonized saint, known as the saint’s feast day. The saints are remembered on their individual feast days with special mention, prayers, and sometimes a scripture reading. Saint Joan of Arc's feast day was moved off the calendar due to lack of room, but France in particular still celebrates it widely, for obvious reasons.

Ahh, I see. Thank you once again for the information. It is quite nice that they still celebrate her feast day despite it being moved off the calendar.

Well, she is France's patron saint, after all. And it's no trouble.

[Aside from the anger he's going to release by beating up some Shadows, but.]

Patron saint... Yes, I suppose she really is, isn't she. [It's kind of weird to hear she's her country's patron saint when last she heard THEY LEFT HER TO ENGLISH TO BE BURNED...]
