Apologies for the delay in greeting, Sir Gareth.

If you have need of the court wizard, you may find me in the tower in the south of the palace grounds.

I offer many services, and can provide whatever you may need. *wink* It’s not like I haven’t noticed how you react when you think about our dearest prince. Oh, I would never imagine reading your thoughts if I didn’t feel like you were in some sort of distress.

Please feel free to drop by at any time for…any…of your needs.

Good my wizard, I thank you for your courteous welcome. I confess my experience of sorcery is but little. Its use was frowned upon in those parts from whence I hail, but that life is behind me now, and I must adapt to the strange new customs of this realm.

So in that spirit - have you anything that would serve for a... for a de-lusting, of sorts? It is only right of course that every knight should love his prince with all his heart, which I could not help but to do from the moment I laid eyes on him. But I fear my love is not so pure as I would wish. I... I find myself thinking on him in private moments. I try to push such thoughts away; truly, I know I am not fit to sully even my mental image of him with my filthy imaginings. But it is so very difficult. Is there is anything you might give me that would wash my love for him clean, so I may be worthy to serve him?

my dear knight, your reply that you've lovingly written for me has left my cheeks sore from smiling, a fluttering in my stomach and a warmth in my heart.

i've made note of your armour diagram which i've found very helpful so thank you. i must admit imagining a knight falling on his pauldrons is most amusing but the acceptance of your shame has inspired me to brave on as you would. while i study these parts, the real thing would definitely be more enlightening than a piece of parchment.

being guided by your gentle yet firm hand would be an honour, my knight. feeling your steady breath on my neck and your palms enveloping my smaller, softer hands would surely make my heart skip a beat.

as for the aftermath of our training, i'd happily help you in the bath house. wash away the sweat and grime from the day. trace your scarred flesh with a tentative yet curious touch, perhaps ask you about previous battles if you're willing to indulge me just a bit more.

i'd be very grateful if you did the same for me before escorting me back to my chambers to ruminate on our time spent together. time that i will cherish.

-your royal squire and prince who feels a little less lonely

Thank you, dear prince, I am deeply gratified to have eased your loneliness a little. Should such feelings trouble you again, please do seek me once more, and I shall endeavour to please you in a manner a little more timely than I have managed on this occasion. And do feel free to pick an emoji with which I might tag you, if such is your pleasure.

This is another one I've been sitting on for far too long out of a sense that I should reply with something Impressive! and Hot! and putting too much pressure on myself to perform. I'm going to try to stop doing that. It may be a process. I get in my own way with my overachiever syndrome a lot :/ but y'all are so lovely and this feels like it is a safe space for me to start trying to Not Do That and just be messy and average when I feel like it. So scary! But such a relief!
