[ ...huh. ]

A prince, then? Or some other royalty I probably couldn't even name?

[historicals]

The former.

[ said with a little sigh, as he downs the last of his fancy drink. no more. ] Though my family has not been in power for some time, and all the better for it.

[holyspirits]

If it's for the better, and your family's out of power, then what's left for you to do? [ if it's so important. they also nudge the water closer again. ]

[historicals]

Ah... it is for the better, yes, but from whose perspective?

[ he will take the water as it's nudged closer, and dutifully sip it. ]

[holyspirits]

Is that one of the questions you're trying to decide on?

[ there, good boy. ]

[historicals]

[ he shakes his head - smiling, again, but it's rather melancholy. ]

No. No, that has long been decided, already. My own perspective is irrelevant.

[holyspirits]

Even though it's about you and your own family?

[historicals]

[ there's a soft sigh. ]

When it comes to royalty, it is never about us as people.

[ ah. but with that, he shakes his head, sheepishly smiling. ]

You've let me ramble on about this for too long, friend - it is not a happy story to tell. Hardly worth lingering on.

[holyspirits]

[ they seem to shrug, but they respect his wishes to change the subject. ]

Then next time you come by, trade me a better one. Even if I don't mind the less than happy ones.
