I will not hide my identity nor pretend these words are not attached to me. There were men who thought I committed many wrongs before I came here. One man held me accountable and spared me nothing besides a lingering death, which leads me to my question: in your estimation, are there any crimes that are unforgivable?

What a common man or woman cannot - should not - do, a king or a queen can do for the good of their people, correct? Great sacrifices are expected in battle - in war - however do you think that a ruler's life should be forfeit for them? What good can they do if they are slain prematurely?

I can admit when I am wrong, but on this...

I don't understand.

It might find you unexpectedly. I suggest you keep up your guard.

(She had fallen in love with Jon at the most inopportune time. Sure, there had been a war and several big battles in the future, but clearly that was the best time to be giddy in love, right? Especially considering that giddiness was soon clouded with loss and the realization that she was his aunt.

Seriously, love might be the worst. )

not happening. the best defense against romance is to never be the kind of guy a girl would take home to meet her parents. i'm fine with what i'm getting.

[It isn't a lie. He definitely thinks there's nothing wrong with him or the way he is. Whether or not he's correct, well, that's another thing altogether.]

[decisiveconquest]

My parents have been dead practically my whole life, so that won't work on me. Then again, I would be a fool to even consider romance. I'm not eager to be used, abandoned and then killed again.

[sarcaskick]

it's almost like putting unlimited trust in someone to NOT hurt you is a bad idea, because they always will

so fuck it, do what you want and who cares what people think

[decisiveconquest]

It's sad that it must come to that. I feel like I've always been alone in one way or another.

[sarcaskick]

it's better that way tbh. commitments just get in the way.

[decisiveconquest]

What of loneliness?

[sarcaskick]

just get laid

[decisiveconquest]

Are you offering?

[sarcaskick]

are you lonely?

[decisiveconquest]

Yes.

[sarcaskick]

then yes. yes, i'm offering.

[decisiveconquest]

I don't want to wait. Where are you?

[sarcaskick]

out shopping actually. picking up some new clothes. could head back to my place, or swing by yours

or

you can meet me here and we can put the fitting room to good use. no bed, but we can get creative.

i'll leave that decision to your judgment, your royal majesty

[decisiveconquest]

We would be thrown out before it became too interesting.

I don't mind using a wall or the floor. Bathtubs are nice too.

Come to my place.

[sarcaskick]

bath could be fun. would be a first, even.

you've convinced me.

tell me where to go and i'll head over on my fastest steed



(it's my legs)

[decisiveconquest]

You've been missing out. (She gives him directions to her apartment.) Getting a horse up the stairs would be difficult. You're better off using your legs.

[sarcaskick]

you'd better be ready to give it a good first impression, then.

in a way i'm still getting a horse up the stairs. i'm kind of a stallion.

should be there in about half an hour, maybe.

[decisiveconquest]

I know what I'm doing.

I suppose I will be riding you soon enough. You might as well be.

[sarcaskick]

i'm looking forward to the royal treatment.
