Hurry, we've found the King's true weakness: scritches!

ah?

...scritches?

[crocell can't help it. xey giggle. to think, what xey've been searching for for so long is so... simple?]

@ask-the-king-in-yellow is this true?

[scholar-in-red]

... fine.

if i were to... bow down.. as you desire, my king, what would you expect from me? am i to lie prostrate and cry for the simple brush of my liege's fingers?

shameful... this body grows more impure with each word.

i simply wish for a fraction of what you have, my king.

i grow tired not of your ire, but of your silence... and i am used to silence.

i wish not for conversation with them. i wish to be enlightened by you.

mm. it seems i have incurred hastur's wrath.

very well. he seems of no inclination to hurt me despite its threats, so i shall wait, rest, and watch.
