A dance for a dance! Yes, the perfect equivalent. Your fans for the movement of my people, though you will require far less clothing to allow for more freedom. It is an uninhibited dance to honor our gods.

[ While he may have been more accustomed to watching than performing, there were times in his youth were he had allowed for a minor lack of inhibitions, mostly in private. ]

[ That just makes her face go as red as the tips of her hair. ]

Wh-what?! How... how little clothing are we talking about here?

[ She doesn't mind it on others, but herself... she's modest, okay! ]

[ He forgets how shy and modest the world had become after his era. A true shame. ]

If you have to ask, then perhaps you are not ready. However, there is nothing to feel shame over. Your gods have given you a fine instrument in your body as mine have given me one for conquest and ruling. Why not show them off and allow others to watch in awe and splendor?

Because where I come from, such things are to be shared only with the gaze of the deserving. One's lord, a mate and partner, or beloved.

Those that dance for us in such ways mean to titillate and enchant, but for someone in mine own position, it would be scandalous. Surely you would not wish for your wife to draw the gaze of others unless it was to her desire?

[ He laughs mirthfully at the young woman's naive words. ]

You are far too modest! That is where we differ, Dancing Princess. Beauty should not be hidden for my eyes only. It is meant to be shared and for all to admire. How else will everyone know I married the most beautiful woman in all kingdoms if they never beheld her with their eyes? I want them all to envy her and to shower her with compliments and to desire her as I do.

[ A dramatic pause for effect- ]

But only I -Ozymandias!- her husband, her king, can ever love her!

[ Well, it makes sense, but it's something that differs from clan to clan... ]

It is lovely that you would think so well of your beloved, Majesty. Would that more thought like you, but I do not mean to hide what you clearly have pride for. I have danced to encourage my people before as well. I've been told it brings them joy to behold my appearance.

But anything that is more intimate than that in my dances- I would not wish to give to just anyone. Back home, that is my choice.

[ She's a princess, as well. She'll leave those dances to the maidens and men confident enough to perform for them as such. ]

Though it does sound liberating, the way you speak of it... so it is worth consideration, at least in this world. Will you show me what sorts of outfits you would wear?

[ Wow, she sounds like she might even think of it. ]

Indeed, it is liberating, and it allows all to behold the body in all its grace and sinew. I always employed the best dancers in my kingdom to entertain us, ones that nobles traveled far and wide just to see -and not only Egyptian dancers. Nubians, Hittites, as far north as your beloved continent! To dance in my festivals was their greatest pride!

[ He'd like to replicate that feeling here, but the Prismals way of dancing is... interesting. To say the least. Yes, he had quite enough of their pop music last month. No more of that. ]

As for clothing, a linen skirt will do while your legs and arms will be covered with glittering gold jewelry. Perhaps, even a neck adornment to highlight the upper body. I can see it now!

Edited (missed a question.) 2020-05-16 01:37 (UTC)

[ Did he... completely miss any sort of top covering? Oh, Goddess... that's a bit too bold for her. ]

I... would rather not show off that much... but I've worn something similar before. With a little more cover to my top. Please do not imagine it right now...

[ Sob. She'll just send him what she wore at one of the festivals here with some other dancers. ]

It's a bit more modern, but with a little more adornment, it could be as you say, too.

That still covers far too much of you. It is a shame Nitocris was not summoned as well. She would have lent you something more adequate by my request.

[ He sounds a little put upon. He doesn't have much that would fit her ...he doesn't have much clothes that even fit himself. ]

I will have to appoint a court tailor to make something fitting for the both of us. There is no need to be nervous. My great taste in design has been written by scholars over centuries. Your splendor will almost mirror mine when I am done with you.

[ Oh, look, a way out of this conversation... ]

"Summoned", Majesty? It's strange to hear that used in particular, where most would use the word "taken".

Is summoning powerful beings such as yourself the norm in your world?

Only through the most powerful forces of magecraft. Not everyone can summon a Heroic Spirit, let alone one as grand and formidable as I. Only two have succeeded and only one yet lives under the grace of my protection.

[ How they managed to summon him here without his treasure or without Chaldea... he's still not entirely clear through what mechanism. Even the Prismals believe it to be an act of their gods. ]

"Heroic Spirit"... Master Lancer and Master Lancer of the Black used similar words. [ She never learnt their names... ]

Then, you too...? Do you know them as well?

I know too many Lancers. None of which I care to discuss any further.

[ Namely, most of them are irritating to deal with, and he'd rather not grant them his attention. ]

You are asking too many questions, Dancing Princess. What is your goal? Out with it.

Curiosity, Majesty. There are many heroes I know of in the worlds surrounding us back home, but they're the ones that summon my people to wear the mantle of heroism. It was part of my family's duties from the Goddess to ensure that the summoning would complete safely and not draw attention to our kind.

[ She almost misses it... ]

Is it something I shouldn't ask?

Such sudden deference to me! Have you come to acknowledge me already as king? Hmm... very well. I will tell you a bit more. There are servants who surpass their masters in every way, and just because they are summoned, they are under no obligation to offer loyalty, especially if their goals do not align.

To these masters, I grant them a swift death even at the expense of my own.

[ He would rather remain dead than bend the knee to someone abhorrent. ]

The gods have chosen me to carry out their divine punishment just as the sun burns through all maladies and offers salvation in its burning embers. So will I cleanse the world of anything rotten and decaying. That is what it truly means to be a Heroic Spirit.

[ He finds such strange things to latch onto but she's not going to correct him... it seems like it makes him feel better, so who is she to argue? ]

Is that so...

[ She listens curiously, and fully interested in what he says. ]

You speak of gods, but what is your goal? Your desire? Surely you must have a wish of your own. Those that summon you... aren't they aiming for something by having you beckoned to them? Then don't you get something in return, too, to help fulfill what they want?

[ It's a basic concept of summoning and contracting. Most spiritkind and humans have that sort of barter between themselves. ]

To fulfill my destiny as the savior! Whether it be this world or another, I alone can bring glory and renewal!
However, the ones that summon me usually only do so out of greed.
The grail and the one wish it grants... I don't need it to attain my goals.

That greed is why they always fall, blinded only by their desires.

[ However, his master in Chaldea had been more noble. Dim-witted and poor in magecraft yet noble... ]

As for what I ask of them... hmm. Simply their mana will do.

Out of greed... that is similar to what our kind are used for.

[ She blinks at that. ]

Ah, I know what mana is... one of those calling themselves a "servant" spoke of it. But they also said the chroma here sufficed. Though I imagine you're quite set on that part, Majesty.

There have been many quick to supply me with it when I require it. You need not worry about me fading away any time soon. The Pharaoh is not without his loyal followers.

[ Even without Ritsuka, he's been managing fairly well, though it would be nice if he had the same contraptions set up here as the one the Isemi Clan had supplied him with. Then, he could truly see his visions manifest in this world. ]

Who is this servant who saw fit to educate you on our kind? Or did you form a contract with them already?

[ continued here ]

I am glad to hear of it, Majesty. And I just knew him as Lancer. He was very tall, and weirded dual lances. He was very soft spoken and kind. As for a contract... do you mean if he came into my service?
