Do you know what it is?

[ From what she's been told of the king by others, this reaction doesn't surprise her too much, but that doesn't bode well.

A king who only wants to be entertained is not a good king at all. ]

[stillnot]

You shouldn't be excited about that. It's killing people.

[ YOU'RE?? THE KING??? THINK OF POOR DICKORY'S WIFE??? ]

[retellers]

I don't know, but... it doesn't have to be a bad thing! I have a feeling it's going to bring us to something good instead.

[ She looks back at the sky, and there's just a sense of both wonder and glee in her expression before she turns her attention to Clementine specifically. ]

We should go.

[discernments]

[ ... ]

What kind of good do you think it's going to bring?

[ She isn't going to try to stop anything just yet, but. Uh. This is a little concerning. ]

[stillnot]

Go where? To see it?

Don't think that's a great idea.

[retellers]

[ She blinks, and her happy expression turns into a frown. ]

You don't want to come with me? [ She looks around at the garden. ] You want to stay here instead, where it's boring?

[discernments]

[ is she being ignored

Well, that's fine. ]

Why is it so boring for you?

[stillnot]

People dying shouldn't be a fun fucking game to you.

[ says clem who just let that guy die without much thought. it's fine. ]

[retellers]

[ She just stares at Clementine, before looking at Jeanne. ]

Because the only person who made it fun just ruined it.

[discernments]

Clementine, it isn't wise to leap to such strong words right away. It is better to understand first.

[ Then, judgments can be made. Not that Jeanne is in the way to make as many judgments, maybe.

This isn't going to end well, is it? ]

What are you going to do once you see that being?

[stillnot]

[ judgments are being made!! right now!!! ]

What, you want to go watch it throw people around? We can go do that!

[ sure!! why not!!! ]

[retellers]

We were just going to see something out of the ordinary together.

[ Her expression looks hurt for a moment, before it turns mad, and she flips her hair over her shoulders. She turns her attention back to the sky, her shoulders tense, and the king lets out a low exhale. And then turns back to the two of them. ]

Okay, I'm done. I'm ready to go back.

[discernments]

[ CLEM DO YOU REMEMBER THE MEMSHARE PLEASE

Someday, I'll make Jeanne lose her Saint skill and then I won't have to write that she's patient. It's not that she agrees with the king's sentiments at all, but it is better to be understanding than to blame. She hopes the king isn't at a point where she can't be turned around.

She holds her hand out to the king and smiles kindly. ]

Shall we go?

[ Even if she's sure the king prefers Clem.

She's worried no matter what happens next honestly. ]

[stillnot]

[ looks away fastly from the memshares. it's fine!! let her be judgey!

but yes. let's. go?? she's following jeanne's lead, here. physically. maybe not so much verbally. ]

There are way better out of the ordinary things to get excited about. Ones that don't kill people.

[retellers]

I just told you I don't know what it is.

[ She just sounds aggravated now, but she'll take Jeanne's hand regardless as they walk. She keeps glaring at Clem as they walk. ]

[discernments]

We can figure out what it is together, okay? All three of us.

You're the king, so you know a lot of the things that happen here, right? Even if it isn't what that is, but other things in general.

[ Please say yes. ]

[stillnot]

[ clem is the worst jester in the world, im ]

That also makes you responsible for protecting your people, doesn't it?
