Did this kid always have to find just the right ways to piss Ja’far off? Was it like a hobby or something?
The male watches the Prince practically crawl blindly around the room for but a moment before he walks over and, “politely” stomps his foot down on the younger’s back.
“Ya know, maybe if you actually tried instead of crying that you want to go home every three seconds you’d improve some, Sharrkan.”
There was so many other things he could have told the boy, other things he could have done. But if he was not afraid to hit Sinbad for being stupid there was no way he was scared of hitting a brat like Sharrkan. “Why don’t you stop lying to us, huh?” he added.
“Its obvious you don’t really want to improve, or to be anything besides what you are. You can say you do, but if you did you wouldn’t be running off wanting to cry to King Armakan every three seconds. You were banished, get over it and learn to do things for yourself without crying every two seconds!”
No, it wasn’t a hobby—but it was close to being one, probably.
“B-But I do wanna go home! I d-don’t like it here, and I don’t like you!” He’d tried to wriggle rather aggressively away from the overbearing foot on his back, but to no avail—remaining a doormat for the elder boy, Sharrkan just laid there and cried even harder.
Because crying was easy. Improving, not so much. For this little boy, it seemed like the only thing worth doing, these days—as well as desperately clawing his way to an exit he still couldn’t see with his own two eyes.
“And I wasn’t b-banished, either! If I went b-back right n-now, I bet he’d t-take me in again, and we c-can go back to normal…"
You know, because it’s totally easy to forget over a decade’s worth of conspiracy, lies, and deceit, right? He wasn’t in danger of getting killed on the spot, or anything, so it was perfectly fine to go back!
