well depends on what you think is "considerable"

cause yeah a bunch of people do

but then a bigger bunch don't

and yeah that's it. or maybe it started after he was deposed, again, barely above a passing grade

so this is all about his grace then? i mean of course it is, who else

just not sure why you're asking me about all this and not him

It comes across as very hierarchy and arbitrary where people can argue about the strength of their blood when in the end what does blood actually matter? I see. This has been insightful all the same. He grew very upset over this Henry the Sixth, and I didn't understand the context enough to be able to converse with him through the matter. I wanted to educate myself, and you were the only person I knew who came from the same geographical area You also call him 'your grace' which means you understand his position and history.

[Read: he wants to be a more supportive situation in their situationship.]

yeah well welcome to the aristocracy it's all crazy

and hey that's.... pretty nice of you actually

[ his opinion of silco: going up ]

but honestly i know stuff less because i'm somehow good at history and more because

well

he's pretty damn famous

like there's a whole play about him and all

I don't pretend to understand it. Is he? Hmm, well it seems the resources should be extensive then. I don't want to invade his privacy, but an overview of events would be beneficial.

me neither, mate

oh yeah, resources are extensive, for sure. but, uh, just a word of warning, all the stuff you'll find... it's probably gonna talk about stuff that's not happened to him yet.

you know he's gonna be the king, yeah?

I know how to have discretion and won't tell him anything that he won't reveal to me himself should he deem the information worthwhile to tell. No, that is not a fact he deigned to inform me of. He is unaware of this trajectory?

[From Duke to King, was it?]

i'm mostly concerned about the stuff even he doesn't know about

oh. no, i think he knows. i mean, i called him the king when we first met and he didn't seem too surprised, just told me not to address him as such yet

As I said, I will use discretion. That is something even those back home can say that I am known for.

[Among so many other cruel things. Oh well.]

I see. This is interesting information. He has his reasons for not being called as such.

[Secrets. So many, many secrets...]

right, another thing people from your home know. this might mean more to me if i knew who the people from your home are

if there's any here. i'm guessing yes, based on what you said on the roof

yeah i think so. maybe he's not the king yet, might be bad luck to be called that before the coronation or something

but he will be. that's what the play is called

richard the third

My daughter is Jinx. Almost everyone has heard of her. Her sister and girlfriend are here and recently the young man following my daughter around, Ekko. Only one will have any manner of positive opinion of me. I wouldn't know. I've called a peasant enough to know I would never meet such a standard. I will look into this. I appreciate your candor.

now hold up a tick

jinx is your daughter?

bloody hell

[ so not only is this illuminating her vague references to a parent... he also remembers their whole conversation, then, had been about her parent having a partner and refusing to tell her the truth about it. that silco is here, asking questions about richard... well. charles has a distinct feeling he wouldn't even need to be a detective to put the clues together, here. ]

sorry, i mean

i like her. your daughter, she's pretty aces

[ signed, a member of the inx ]

[Silco stared at the message in return, and he could already deduce that Jinx had either revealed something about him subtly or she had crossed this one. That, of course, was immediately solved when his daughter was called 'aces'.

She had inferred something about him. Something she was raging about. And he had just come along asking about someone they both knew on a personal level....

Charles knew. Bloody hell was right.]

She is, yes. It is nice to see that she has made such an impression on you that she might confide matters with trust to you.

what? no, mate, you've got it all wrong.

look, i've talked to your daughter like, three times, yeah? she was there to help me when i was having a real bad day, and i helped her when she had one. that's all. hell, i didn't even know her dad was here. i don't know her sister's —

[ hold on, charles.exe is rebooting, ]

wait, wait

do you have TWO kids here?

[ and then, immediately, ]

no no no don't tell me

she didn't tell me her sister's name or anything, and if she'd wanted to she would have, yeah? i'm not gonna go behind her back, if she wants me to know she can tell me herself

[ which is........ not at all what silco is doing here, about richard. right. yeah, this is going great ]

Obviously the three conversations have allowed you two to build quite the repoire with one another. She doesn't trust just anyone with her bad days.

[False, everyone could be subjected to her bad days and good days. However, there was a difference when it came to the information she might willingly give up to another person.

The over talking was interesting anyway.]

My daughter is Jinx. She is my only child.

really?

then... i'm glad i could help her.

[ if he did. he'd like to think he did, at least a little. ]

oh. right, well, good to know. she's

she's trying to do a good thing, here. and i don't know if i'm gonna be of much use to her, but i promised to try

Indeed. She did not have many trustworthy friends in Zaun. I see. You've joined INX then.

[Just giving away free information. Now who would take precedence in priority: Richard or Jinx?]

hope she's got better ones here, then.

i... well, yeah. seemed like the right thing to do.

i'd think you'd approve, being her dad and all

[ charles, not understanding the need for secrecy in most of anything: ]

So it would seem. Time will tell. Have you been a part of a rebellion of such a nature before? I want my daughter to succeed in what she chooses to do.

no, course not

but i know a few things about bullies. whether it's on a smaller scale or a bigger one like a whole damn government... they're all the same

Do you? Were you or someone you knew bullied to create such a passion for rising up against them?

this is really none of your business but you sound like you need me to prove this to you so, sure

i was chucked in a fucking lake by blokes who should've been my friends, got pelted with stones, and died of hypothermia and internal bleeding

and my best mate was sacrificed to a demon by bullies and he ended up in hell for 70 years

so yeah

i'd say i do

I do enjoy how a general inquiry on my part leads you to lash out at me as if I'm looking for a detailed explanation as you feel the need to defend yourself. If my inquiries to learn more about you are terribly bothersome, you can stop at none of my business.

right

no, you've a point

sorry, i'm not exactly the most objective on this topic

doesn't give me the right to blame you for asking though

Clearly. Trauma removes objectivity. Oh you can. I frankly don't care, but I felt the need to point it out in case you do the same to others. You can lash out at me all you like; I'm a parent so I understand the response well.

you can say that again.

ha. yeah, well. not all parents would. [ which is all he's going to say about his own frankly terrible experiences..... the moment when silco is a far better father than charles' own. oop. ]

anyway. does having been killed by bullies weigh enough against not having been involved in an uprising?
