[ they just. hm at the lup thing ]

Haven't asked anything I'd need to hold back on yet.

[recrowns]

A hint for someone else on your team and is it Shiro!

[DON'T JUST PUSH YOUR LUCK IMMEDIATELY]

[retellers]

Stop that.

[ no. ]

[recrowns]

I had to try....

[he really didn't]

[retellers]

No, you didn't.

[ :| ]

[recrowns]

[there's just another little bit of a laugh]

Perhaps I didn't. [really didn't]

I'm sorry - I'll do my best not to put you in difficult positions in the future.

[retellers]

Telling you no isn't difficult.

[recrowns]

I could be hurt.

[he decidedly is not]

[retellers]

I wouldn't care.

[recrowns]

Hesitate at least a little!

[no]

[retellers]

Thought you liked my honesty?

[ smirk ]

[recrowns]

Oh, I see you're teasing me....

Then I suppose if that means we're getting closer...

[does it]

[retellers]

Is that what it is?

[ does it. ]

[recrowns]

Maybe I'll hold enough optimism for the both of us....

Are you allowed to just get up and walk away if you get bored of our conversation?

[retellers]

You're not on my team, so probably.

[recrowns]

So you like talking to me too!

[please don't invite wolf to just get up and go now]

[retellers]

[ unfortunately, he has, so wolf starts to get up and go ]

[recrowns]

[SLKDJFLKSDJF]

Wait, wait—

[HE'S LAUGHING weakly and trying to also get up even though wolf's the one who made him sit down bc he was pale]

[retellers]

[ wolf does stop so that. soo-won doesn't injure himself more, god. ]

You should be resting anyway, if you want to heal any time soon.

[recrowns]

I am resting.

[and he will sit if wolf sits back down!!]

Even if it's about nothing in particular, I like talking to you. [and people in general but]

It's more interesting than laying in a bed and waiting for sleep to come.

[retellers]

[ wolf comes back with a sigh ]

After everything that's happened, I'm surprised you're not more exhausted.

[recrowns]

Hmm....

I've been in more stressful situations than this?

[he seems like he's weighing how much he wants to say]

You said that you don't particularly partake in gossip, right?

[retellers]

I don't care for gossip, no.

[ who would they tell. ]

[recrowns]

[soo-won's a cagey bitch even if he doesn't look it, who knows]

... well, I think that even after everything that happened, it's nothing that surprises me greatly. It's a bit saddening and worrying, of course. I'm not a fan of relentless bloodshed.

But I think.... that as a king, it's my responsibility to take matters like this into account.

And as long as I'm alive, I ought to do what I can to provide more reassurance than worry.

[retellers]

I guess. Can't say I'm all that familiar with kings. [ even beyond their usual amnesia, apparently? ] I meant less the bloodshed and more the multiple attacks on your person.
