As Abomasnow is older then his Emperor, how long has he been serving the throne? Did he serve the previous Emperor before Empoleon? If he bore witness to Empoleon's inauguration, how was it?
“Whoa, wait a minute, what? I’m only a few years older than Emperor Empoleon, not something dramatic like a full generation. I’ve been his general since he ascended the throne, knew him when we were younger, but it wasn’t such a big jump or anything.”
“You are ancient.”
“Sire, I do have feelings.”
“Fine. Also, I’m not far behind him, so I should be quiet...”
“At any rate! His inauguration was magnificent! The ceremony itself was fairly private within the palace walls. But! It was exciting to see so many citizens flood across the city to bear witness! Plus the snow was pretty that day too.”
