[a frustrated sigh.]

Things are compounding again. How annoying.

[tap. tap. tap.]

What a miserable little world. Red-Eyed Zelman, still caught in a cage?

It's disgusting. Cain would have a laugh.

[......tap. tap. ...tap.]



[public;]


[spoken simply, no particular tone attached.]

What is a king without a kingdom?

Comments

[exanimatus]

[he laughs.]

That could be fun. What a shame.

[inafadingcrown]

I have had quite enough of such things myself.

[exanimatus]

[oh, you would. how boring.]

Then you might consider this a vacation... in that regard, anyway.

[inafadingcrown]

A vacation unwanted and unrequested. The burdens I carry, I carry willingly.

[exanimatus]

You take yourself very seriously, Lady. Has anyone ever told you that?

[inafadingcrown]

You may very well be the first. [Because, seriously, who would tell her?]

[exanimatus]

I'm not certain yet if it's too seriously, but I do wonder...

[inafadingcrown]

And what would you suggest to remedy this?

[exanimatus]

I want you to know what I'm withholding several rude answers.

I'm being polite.

[exanimatus]

That said, booze is a great start.

[inafadingcrown]

That is likely quite wise. [LMAO, ZELMAN. She can guess at least one answer, you jerk.]

You think I do not drink? [Probably consumes more wine than half the castle.]

[exanimatus]

I don't think I've ever talked to you properly drunk, though.

[inafadingcrown]

And you will not. I would not go so far as to declare it impossible, but such a thing would not be accomplished without some difficulty. A racial trait, if you will.

[exanimatus]

Nah, I get it. It's the same thing when you're dead unfortunately.

But there are exceptions. Maybe catching you at the right time is the trick.

[inafadingcrown]

I will also admit that, even were appearing inebriated in public not beneath the dignity of my station, I dislike not having full control of myself. [So getting to see her wasted will be an uphill battle.]

[exanimatus]

Challenge accepted?

[inafadingcrown]

[A little laugh] I wish you luck in it.

[exanimatus]

The way you describe it, I may need it.

[inafadingcrown]

I believe you will, yes. Luck and perhaps the favor of the castle.
