[rocker]

[ At least this time there's less surprise - not that it's actually noticable no matter what, since David is pretty much always calm - when he finds himself in this place. And it's not actually like he minds being here in good company and he figures he was probably summoned here for some good reason again, so.. he seems reasonably content as he speaks. ]

I assume I found myself in Prospero once more. [ not that he has that much of a sense what happened inbetween his last visit and now.. ] So do not worry about having to provide an explanation to another person. Instead I am merely curious as to how many other people are still in this place as well.

[ short and to the point. ]

Comments

AHAHAHA ISN'T IT CUTE..

[rocker]

Even if it would have been a thousand years.

[ He really doesn't have any sense of how long it's been, heroic spirit limbo does that to you.. ]

Time does not matter. I would merely wish to see you safe, so if I have to act for that, I will. [ He's just.. too nice, really - and she's so young, and he knows this place is dangerous.. ]

IT IS VERY CUTE...

[orchidmoon]

[INCEPTION...]

... Heh. [She was still appalled, really. That's why she couldn't give a correct reaction. She knew he wasn't lying.]

You kind of remind me of a knight in one of those books I read while I was here.

[rocker]

.. A knight? [ the idea seems to amuse him - if not just faintly. ]

Actually, since I am a king, that is not too far from the truth.

[orchidmoon]

[wait

WAIT

wait

WAIT A SECOND]

You're... a King?

[rocker]

I am. .. Or.. rather, I have been. [ during his life, but he's not exactly going to put it like that.. ]

The king of Israel. Have you never heard of that country before?

[orchidmoon]

No. To be honest, I don't know that much about the world outside the tiny island I used to live on.

[Pause.] You must have been a good King.

[rocker]

[ It's okay, communication across great distances wasn't exactly easy in his time either, so he nods understandingly-- although he manages to look sliiightly flustered at the last part. If you look closely enough. ]

Do you think so?

[orchidmoon]

Mm hmm! If you're nice to someone like me, then you must have been nice to your people.

[David, please. You're reinforcing that you're that word "cute" in her eyes, alright.]

[rocker]

[ he's like a puppy, okay. ]

Being kind to your people is only a requirement for a good king. Otherwise I would not have been much of a king. .. In fact, I only was one because the Lord wanted me to.

[orchidmoon]

[Yes he is.]

You weren't born into royalty? [Or so she's read about it.]

[rocker]

When I was your age I was still a shepherd, actually.

[orchidmoon]

[Anddd she tilts her head. Curiosity perking.]

A shepherd?

[rocker]

[ oh, that makes him.. pause for a moment too.. they're a really normal concept to him, after all. ]

Have you not heard of those before?

[orchidmoon]

[well, there's an awkward silence between the pauses. Maybe she should read a tad bit more about this now that she's here. Seeing that this place has a bit of nobility wandering around.]

No, I haven't. I've only read up to Queens and Kings.

[rocker]

No, it is fine. Perhaps it is not as well-known anymore as I thought.. [ he rubs the back of his head for a moment, idly over thinking it, but then shakes his head lightly. ]

It means someone who keeps sheep. Keeping them safe from wild animals and making sure they eat well, those kind of things.

[orchidmoon]

[She mentally files that away. Just in case that pops up in future conversation with someone. Though, she's curious as to how and why he was chosen. Just because.]

... How did you become King? I know you said someone asked you to, but... Why you? [Causeeeee his past occupation doesn't sound like what she read in the books marie antoinette coughs]

[rocker]

.. I am not entirely sure why it was me of all people either. [ He's humble, after all - he thinks nothing special of himself at all. ]

All I know is that God chose me. And therefore I can not be anything but grateful to do his bidding.

[orchidmoon]

... I think someone like you deserved it. [ Said without hesitation, too. ]

From when I meet you, to know, I think that you deserve it. You're a good person.
