Chapter 05 ~ Video

[best-king.livejournal.com]

[ It had been just about a month since a certain golden haired asshole king had simply vanished into thin air, without any sort of notice. He had to assume those that knew of him thought him to be dead or worse. That was exactly his plan. Truth is he had been traveling the world this entire time, doing whatever the hell he pleased since he is the King of Heroes, after all. He had collected many things, which would hopefully prove useful during that accursed Dark Hour. Still, it was odd that he had no contact with anyone. Not even his most prized treasure. Truth be told, she was probably the only reason he bothered coming back. So you can imagine his surprise and amused reaction when he stumbles into his home late in the night, only to find a certain king cuddled up on his bed with a pair of lion cubs. So, she had been using his place in his absence. That was fine, because it provided the perfect opportunity for him to show off. And since this is so early in the morning, we'll assume that videos can be taken and sent to inboxes en masse, so everyone will be greeted to his return as soon as they check their phones. ]

[ For anyone who was here before his disappearance, or even later arrivals that may just know him, a certain golden haired individual will be interrupting your usual morning routine with his arrogant voice and all too charming looks. ]

Mongrels... It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm sure you've all missed being in the presence of your king, not that I can say the same about the lot of you.

[ No, seriously. Why does he even bother addressing them? It's not as if their even worthy of looking upon him. Still, things must be said. This is what kings do, is it not? ]

Upon my return, there are a few things I feel I need to make clear, since you seem incapable of remembering anything for longer than a goldfish. Everything of value in this world is mine, that goes without saying. It is I, and only I can truly determine something's value. You see this condo?

[ Yes, he is sweeping through his own condo, showing off the ridiculous contents that shouldn't even be able to fit. It's like his condo was a pocket space or something. You'll see mountains of useless shit that serves no purpose other than looking pretty and expensive, among piles of swords and closets full of the most crazy expensive clothes ever. ]

Everything is mine. Yes, even them.

[ The camera suddenly enters a first person view as it travels down a hallway, eventually entering a dark room that is only lit by the moonlight. The camera will slowly sweep over the bed, where one may find a caliburns outfitted in merely a large long-sleeved t-shirt, sleeping soundly between two rather large lion cubs. The look on her face would be enough to make the most manly men's hearts melt. ]

They are mine, and mine alone. Nobody can say otherwise. If any of you mongrels have a problem with that?

[ This would usually be the part where he says something about fighting and proving yourself and blahblahblahblahblah. But instead, they'll only get a close-up on his face. A face that just screams TROLLLLLL. ]

Too bad.

[ And just as suddenly as it had started, the video ends. ]

And yet that is not the question I asked. I suggest you answer me before I lose my patience.

[best-king.livejournal.com]

[ Sigh. Always so violent. As if he's one to talk. ]

I'm not doing anything with her. Yet.

[croibhristeoir]

Am I to assume 'yet' means you intended on doing something?

[best-king.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. I don't see how that's any concern of yours, though. Don't you have your former master to worry about?

[croibhristeoir]

Sola was never my Master and I am not concerned with her at the moment.

Saber is the only one in this city or anywhere else to whom I have any true allegiance. So yes, Archer--it concerns me quite a bit.

[best-king.livejournal.com]

Funny. I thought she had you on a leash like the dog you are.

[ Oh, Gil. Stay classy. ]

In that case, I don't plan on doing anything to her that she wouldn't approve of. [ Besides the whole property thing. But that's a minor issue at the moment. ]

[croibhristeoir]

If it's a hound you're looking for, you and I both know you have the wrong Lancer. And if you think I would take that as an insult regardless, you're mistaken.

And why, Archer, should I believe your word on that?

[best-king.livejournal.com]

You're both the same to me. [ Inb4 taken as a compliment. ]

And you have no reason to. That's what makes it all the more exciting, doesn't it? If you still want to fight, I won't deny you. Just be aware that I don't plan on ever losing to the likes of you.

[croibhristeoir]

It's a bit late for flattery. [In during taken as a compliment.]

You think I plan on allowing you to defeat me? You're far more delusional than I'd thought in that case.

[best-king.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't last five seconds against me, mongrel.

[ Shit talking. The only thing he's still good at here. ]

[croibhristeoir]

I think it's you who would not last against me, Archer. You don't need to cover your sense of shame with arrogance--it takes quite a lot to stand equal to one of the Fianna.

[Is this hateflirting?]

[best-king.livejournal.com]

[ Yes. Yes it is. ]

Even without my true treasury at my disposal, I doubt you could give me much of a challenge. These shadows are proving to be an excellent way to build this human body up to my old standards.

[croibhristeoir]

Yes, that's a fair point. Training against them is an excellent way to compensate for what we've lost. But if that's true, then tell me this.

Which of us has been fighting against them longer?

[best-king.livejournal.com]

...Ha. You've got me there. A month long absence doesn't do me any good, does it? Still, I refuse to believe I could lose to anyone besides my equal.

[croibhristeoir]

believe what you will, and I'll prove you wrong should it come to a fight.

[best-king.livejournal.com]

I really don't feel like fighting so soon after returning to my 'home', but I suppose if I piss you off enough, you'll come after me anyway. So be it.
