No, I think I'm being funny by being obvious. [ they are being a little shit on purpose, is what they are saying ] And I figured if you didn't want me to know, you wouldn't have started asking about them anyway.
Well, he was a cruel man... Killed his court and civilians if they disagreed with him. Slaughtered his slaves when he wanted to. Made a sport out of it with his other sick nobility friends and paraded them as banquets.
[ ... The broken mirror imagery returns, though for a moment. ]
He was an impostor and I was the last living heir. I simply took back what was mine.
I'm going old testament. [ no, gam. but also they are once again thinking THIS IS SO ROYAL COURT DRAMA to themselves as they cross their arms ] Did that lord arrange to kidnap you so you couldn't stake the claim in the first place? Since you were probably... "illegitimate".
It matters a little. Your circumstances are what brought you here. [ but; ] So you were abandoned instead of murdered as a baby. Really not making me regret saying that Lord of yours deserved it.

[ HE IS CURIOUS ]

[ they don't care about sharing that information??? ]
no subject
[ Well, he isn't the most interested in knowing what their parents looked like.
He will just fetch his own box. ]
I hope it's considered a good gift.
no subject
[ lifting up on their toesies to look at his box ]
Are you going to check yours out now?
no subject
[ he would rather die than give a bad gift ]
Yes. [ Suspiciously looks at them. ] I'm assuming you want to see.
no subject
[ they have their hands linked behind their back. the picture of innocence ]
Well, if you're going to do it in front of me...
no subject
[ Watches them for a bit before he starts unraveling his gift. ]
You think you're being coy, don't you.

[ IT MAY BE THE SAME GIFT ALL TUESDAY, but i want the npcs to see different things for fun.
When he opens it, it's a little bastard sword keychain. On the blade, it's purposely crafted to look worn with scratches and scuffs. ]
These are a little charming.
no subject
Is that sword familiar to you? It looks like it's meant to be a specific one.
no subject
[ For their own sensibilities... ]

It's morbid.
no subject
[ dry ]
no subject
[ Which is innocuous... Usually. ]
It's a plain sword, but I killed the previous lord with this one.
no subject
[ but oh. lore. they tilt their head ]
The previous lord? [ ??? ] Were you trying to take his place?
no subject
[ ... The broken mirror imagery returns, though for a moment. ]
He was an impostor and I was the last living heir. I simply took back what was mine.
no subject
Sounds like he deserved it. [ maybe not something an angel should say! eh ] If you were the heir, how come he had it?
no subject
[ So like... ]
no subject
no subject
[ To be sold into slavery, etc. ]
However it happened, I got off easy living in the slums for most of my years instead of being six feet under. Not that it matters...
[ Because he's dead. ]

An end to bloody sabbaths and a stop to the renaissance of the Dark Ages. May he rot in hell.
no subject
[ for someone who is all about second chances gam also seem to hold grudges. they shake their head ]
I'd say the sword is pretty good, as far as these trinket gifts go.
no subject
It is. [ Anyway, ] That again isn't very angelic to say.
