Once upon a time, there were two kings who lived in two separate kingdoms and sat upon two separate thrones; one kingdom was in a valley bathed in light and had bountiful harvests and green, green grass for all the livestock to live on, whereas the other was on a mountain bathed in darkness and suffered drought and famine and so forth, and many of

[Scream, oh no, Giselle! Just for her, he switches to voice.]

Please don't cry. It's just a story.

[princesscliche]

Oh, Ka--[sniff, hastily scrubbing at her eye. exhale.] Katurian. That's you, isn't it?

[afeatherpillow]

Yes. It's me. It's-- It's been a while since we've talked, h-hasn't it? I can't remember if you've heard my stories before. You probably have. They aren't necessarily the sort of things you'd like.

[disillusionists]

And then they all lived happily ever after.
The end.

[afeatherpillow]

You know me too well.

[disillusionists]

Of course I do.
It's certainly better than asking about the lack of gore.

[afeatherpillow]

Does that concern you?

voice or action?

[acahellyeah]

That's really depressing.

action!

[afeatherpillow]

[Katurian watches him a beat before smiling, rueful but genuine. Like everyone else, he hasn't told him about Greenland. He hasn't explained the stitches in his head.]

[afeatherpillow]

Which is it that you're good at, exactly? Mathematics or humor?

[incywincyhero]

You're just waiting to deploy the pithy yet cutting remark, aren't you?

[afeatherpillow]

Humor's not safely within my realm. I'll keep it at that.
