"There's no need to apologize to me about it. Should we wrap up all - this?" She gestures at paperwork and notes and scrolls. "And do it now?"

Permalink

"Mm. Sure, sooner I tell him the less annoyed he will be with me."

Permalink

"Do you want me there or should I find something else to do?"

Permalink

"No preference. Would you like to be there, or do something else?"

"I suspect I might be useful at explaining. Perhaps we should show him the pair of them, and then if he spends any amount of time staring with his jaw hanging open I can catch up on comparing life stories with Isabella in the lull."

"Sure, let's go with that. We'll find him and ask him to come with us."

He organizes the various items necessary for running a country, and then, off they go to find his brother.

There he is! Doing something that does not involve weaponry, even. Look at him... Napping. Just, in the middle of everything, on a bench. He twitches awake at footsteps.

"Mmrh?" he says, then he peers sleepily at Edarial and Iobel. "Oh, hey." (Yawn.) "Have fun on the date?"

"Well, we found something interesting."

Permalink

"Ooo. Did you find a pony? Or the secrets of the universe? I bet it was a pony."

Permalink

Edarial snorts. "It's not a pony."

Permalink

"It is, to a significant extent, the secrets of the universe."

Permalink
"... Oooo! Possibly better than a pony, if it makes Edarial stop being mopey. What'd you find?"

He hops off of his bench and looks at them expectantly.
Permalink

"It's easier to just show you."

Permalink

"Okay! Then show me, what's the thing?"

Permalink

"It's people, as it happens." Iobel leads the way to the relevant corridor.

Permalink

"Ooo, people. I bet they're spellbinders, you and Edarial would not be excited if they weren't magic. Did they give you charts on fancy, fancy spells?"

Permalink

"No new spellcharts."

Permalink

"... Okay, so I am kind of confused about why you are excited, but I will roll with it. Are they fun people? Or boring?"

Permalink

"I think they're very interesting. And I think you will too."

Permalink

"Seconded."

Permalink

"Ooo, okay. Interesting but not necessarily fun. Hmm. What's interesting but not necessarily fun..."

Permalink

"You're not going to guess it," says Iobel as they approach the corridor.

Permalink

"That's no reason to not try! Are they another set of monarchs that are going to help you monarch or something? Ari's mentioned wanting allies, is it that?"

Permalink

"Sort of."

Permalink

"Soooort of, hmmm."
