Is it depressing I'm just pleased I didn't get a short and pithy quote about how cherised and just I was in life? Honestly the things this City comes up with sometimes are horrible.

Well, actually, it would be interesting to know if I had gotten eaten by a sea-serpent or disappeared on some crazy adventure at sea.

Informative, at the very least.

And before you ask, ~~Rosella~~, no, I am not expecting to die by being eaten or on a crazy adventure. It's far more likely I'd die of boredom once we get back to Finchley.

Are there wiser ones?

Not many.

Then I suppose you can still be a good king, anyway.

If I'm not, I'll just have Peter fill in for me.

I don't think it's quite that easy, really. He's wonderful in his own way, but he's not much of a replacement for you.

You're right, he has no patience for law.

He also doesn't have your sense of humor.

It's not his fault I got all the charm and looks in this family.

Yes, but it is a pity that he got all the height.

It makes him more prone to hitting his head on trees.

Does that happen often?

[No]

Well, more often than it happens to me.

[Which is never.]

Which means it happens all the time, I imagine.

By which, of course, I mean once.

Dignity doesn't just come back on it's own, you know.

And yet I think it shows great nobility in its own way, getting back up after one falls.

Should I arrange the wedding, then?

[...]

Why, you're not jealous, are you?

I'm jealous of Shadow's ability to sleep in my bed every night. I'm not jealous of Peter.

I'm glad to hear it, since I doubt he'd marry me anyway.

Well, you're right, but it's nothing against you.
