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.

By that logic, I also go around charming snakes all the time.

You forget, I've seen who you live with.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...Pardon?

[wandbreaker]

You live with the woman who thinks that spikes are an acceptable fashion accessory and the boy whose primary hobby is watching you from corners.

Plenty of people dress oddly around here, you know. And really, Nigel's just...shy. Sort of.

[wandbreaker]

You're kind to everyone, aren't you?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I try to be. It's certainly better than being cruel to them.

[wandbreaker]

I think there are more than just two options.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, there are. But it doesn't hurt anything to be kind, does it?

[wandbreaker]

Well, you'd have to talk to Lucy.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

You can't answer it yourself?

[wandbreaker]

Do you think I'm kind to everyone?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

No. But I do think you're a good king, and any good king would understand the importance of kindness, even if he doesn't always show it.

[wandbreaker]

There are kinder kings.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Are there wiser ones?

[wandbreaker]

Not many.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

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

[wandbreaker]

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.

[wandbreaker]

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

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

He also doesn't have your sense of humor.

[wandbreaker]

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

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

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

[wandbreaker]

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

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Does that happen often?
