What. What is it.

I find myself a hypocrite. If someone told me my father did what he did to protect me, I would punch them out.

( and when the townspeople got mad and said it was against the law for the knight captain to fall in love with a sellsword he would say some shit like “if the law is unjust it must be broken!”. oh yeah. that’s a good one. )

… I just don’t care for it.

( spaced out in the courtyard thinking about saving tieflings from the goblin forest with a mere rusted dagger instead of hitting the training dummy )

It’s best spent by the shore, I think…

… I suppose that’s fair. I like to get outdoors, so… I think I like summer the best. It’s nice to see everything so alive.

( alright, well… he should try to be nice. for rosie. )

Fresh snow looks nice, but I prefer the longer days of other seasons, personally.

Good. I’ll be glad when this season is over with.

The snow will be thawing soon…

( perks up like a dog hearing the word “royalty” )

Good God.

ALL AT—

Ahem. All at once? Really?

What. What?

( initially against sending io to the gallows but the more she says the more he’s on board with it. )

… Interesting.

… I was told they were sound-proofed. 💢

For me, my father is like a huge wall towering above me. I can't even start to imagine what it's like to go over, much less break that wall…

If you have an issue, Mars, I like to think I am quite approachable and reasonable…

I get laid a fine amount. Not that it’s your business.

By your standards, maybe.

Just about, yes.

Swinging my sword at a tree is a good time.

I must not find hooking up with random stable boys as fun as you do.

That’s—

( his eye narrows. despite this, io’s words make his cheeks tinge pink. )

You are foul.

? No, I had plans.

Assorted townspeople and castle employees. The man who supplies the cavalry with horse feed tried to proposition me earlier this week. Of course, I turned him down because I want to go swing my sword at a tree, alone.

No. I am busy sorting through the things I received from my many admirers.
