like no king was before She said she was doing okay, which was a welcome relief to the King. She'd faced the death of an adopted child recently, something he was sure would cause emotional stress. This paired with the still semi-recent death of her brother would certainly be painful to endure, but it seemed she was finding a way. "I am glad to hear it." He didn't want to press her to speak on the matter any further, and so he fell silent while preparing for her answer about his father. He truly hoped the woman had seen him, if only for the knowledge that Gerhardt was indeed alright. It would probably irk him that Gerhardt hadn't sought him out immediately, but he'd soon get over that and learn to be happy that his father was back in the picture. Finally her answer came, assuring him that he looked well - at least physically. However, the man was still on the fence emotionally. It was understandable, but at least he was healthy and back within the Kingdom's borders. "I'm glad he is doing well." He wouldn't mention that he was worried, or that he had lost sleep at night, no, that wasn't something he needed to tell just everyone. A King needed to be collected. A King needed to have a clear head. Lime eyes blinked twice as an ear flickered back. It was time to talk about other things. "I wonder if you've ever met the Clergy, Bane?" Certainly she had, but it was perhaps the easiest way to lead into the subject, and so he phrased it in this way. {Table coded by Lu} |
