Random Headcanon: Copia and Papa III Frenemies?

Don’t get me wrong, I always adored rival Copia and Papa III tensions. But I also can’t help but think of what if the opposite had happened? Back when Prequelle was first a thing…

Papa III, bored after being forced into retirement, one days just DECIDES to become Copia’s new bestie and mentor?

Doesn’t even ask him to be friends . Just shows up in his office like, “CARDINAL! Get ready, I’m in the mood for croissants and espresso!” And Copia finds himself shoved in the back of a fancy limo to go get local cuisine. Papa III next to him just rambling about whatever is on his mind.

This ends up happening so much. It bothers the absolute Christ out of Cardinal Copia. Because the worst part is?

NO MATTER WHAT COPIA DOES HE CANNOT FUCKING GET RID OF TERZO!!

He just will NOT go away or comprehend that Copia is BUSY AND DOESN’T WANT FRIENDS! He’s like a never ending plague and only comes around MORE whenever you try to get rid of him!

No one helps Copia. So he is stuck having to humor bestie shopping sprees and Papa coming into his office to gossip all the time.

It gets even worse when they find out they are brothers.
