@thgged , you look suspicious...
Blonde eyelashes fluttered, as red eyes opened to the sounds of overlapping voices. He was warm, that was the first thing he considered, before more and more of his awareness trickled back into the reservoir of his situation. The Crystal Tavern, he remembered seeking, much in need of a drink. He remembered a glass of beer sitting before him at first, but it wasn’t there now.
Arms unfolding, his head lifted. A gold gauntleted hand adjusted hid crown to sit properly on his head, and the other rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. No, no, of course he hadn’t passed out over just one beer--he was weakened in this state, but not brought back to being a lightweight. Was he ever a lightweight? The thought would have amused him, were he not annoyed at himself for falling asleep in the middle of a tavern. Hardly a proper first impression for a King.
Eyes that had only partially opened to the new world he found himself in would quickly widen to full when his fingers adjusted his hair by his ears. His earring--it was gone. Precious gold and sapphire that was an irreplaceable treasure was missing from his person, and he checked the other ear to be sure that--yes, at least the other was in its rightful place.
“You there, boy!” He recognized that kid from before he’d drifted off. At least that assured him that he hadn’t been out for long, but yes, that one had been sitting right at the table next to him, and looked like he was moving to leave a little too quickly at his awakening. “I dearly hope you haven’t stolen from me, for your sake. You will not enjoy the reward for doing so.”
