[ 🙄 ]

And yet you're the one writing entire essays as part of the conversation.

Why don't we cut to the chase? What is it you want from me?

[uncourteous]

Are you so shameless that you do not believe you should correct your wrongs?

[ who is truly the shameless ass here. ]

[frostfist]

[ GO TO SLEEP BIJOU ]

I have to be made aware of my wrongs before I can begin to rectify them.

[uncourteous]

[ only if you finish your movie. ]

Perhaps, that is where the issue lies. Do you not believe you could afford for some self-reflection?

[frostfist]

[ you're never going to sleep like this.... ]

And do you not believe you could afford some clarity in your words?

[uncourteous]

There has been some troubling rumors about me. Specifically stating that I have a mysterious fiancée.

[frostfist]

Do you not? The phrase 'future father-in-law' is quite implicating, don't you think?

[uncourteous]

I disagree. It was clearly a conversation meant for your eyes only.

Besides, as you likely could imagine, royal marriages aren't so easy to plan.

[frostfist]

Actually, I can't. Marriage has never been an option for me.

[uncourteous]

Come now, the Duke must have no shortage of marriage proposals sent his way.

If you wanted to pose a more ridiculous lie, you will certainly have to try a little harder.

[frostfist]

Is this how you usually go about making friends, by accusing them of lying midway into the conversation? You might want to rethink your technique in that case.

[uncourteous]

There is no need for concern, Dearest Duke.

I was merely saying it's difficult to believe. [ despite the dukes children being quite lacking in his eyes, there was certainly no shortage of women who flocked to them, so it only made sense. ] You're quite snippy for someone who has left my reputation in shambles.

[ did he tho... ]

[frostfist]

Perhaps your reputation was never worth much if it can be so easily demolished by a single man's word.

[uncourteous]

Nonsense. At the very least, I believed I started this off on a clean slate. [ he would argue not having the reputation of being the crown prince of iron and blood ... was a vast improvement.

but, perhaps precisely because of that... ] You could always spark the change the people want to see. [ the people as in... him. ]

[frostfist]

Are you asking me to speak up on your behalf?

[uncourteous]

👏

I applaud how quick-witted you are.

[frostfist]

Thanks for the offer but I'll pass. I fail to see how it benefits me in any way.

[uncourteous]

Do you not believe the benefit comes from simply acting on the kindness of your heart? Good deeds are dead in the dukedom, I see.

[frostfist]

Good thing for me we're not in the dukedom here then, isn't it?

Perhaps you should reflect on your own actions first before asking others to do the same.

[uncourteous]

Have I committed any crimes outside of calling you "father-in-law"? For the record, most would have considered it an honor.

[frostfist]

Being condescending may not be a crime but it certainly doesn't do you any favors.

[uncourteous]

Is it condescending to speak facts? You have quite a peculiar view of the world.

Regardless, I hope you don't forget this conversation in the future. I am glad we could have such a fruitful heart-to-heart, former father-in-law.

[frostfist]

[ this sounds like a threat ]

I could say the same to you. I'd suggest worrying more about your own worldview than those of others in the future.
