@dutyabsolute "You raise an interesting question." He admitted, his fingers lightly tapping on the top of his walking stick. "I find it incredible how so many people manage to become so accomplished despite the hardships in their pasts."
@dutyabsolute
Perhaps it was a little...Uncharacteristic, for George to be going out on strolls. But he'd spent most of his time as King in seclusion, and it was best, for the sake of his health, that he at least tried to get out.
The near-elderly, sickness-ridden monarch was-
@virginianstrcss "Disrespect away. I've never been the type of man to care for status...Besides, your achievements far outweight mine, I'd be honoured to pay on your behalf."
The uneasy expression printed on the bartender's face was hard to miss as he listened in on the interaction.
@virginianstrcss "You'd be surprised. You'll be hard pressed to find someone my father likes who's simultaneously got more personality than a twig." He replied drily.
"Don't worry about the bill. I invited you out, I'm happy to pay." Albeit with money he didn't have.
@virginianstrcss "There's no need to leave. I'd argue I've grabbed drinks with people my father loathes perhaps more than he loathes you. Though I'd be perfectly happy to meet again before you leave."
Was he doing this out of spite? Sure he was!
@virginianstrcss "You'd be surprised. My father will take any excuse to go for the throat when it comes to me and my reputation." He admitted, swirling his drink before taking a sip.
"I do little wrong, yet I'm constantly blamed."
@virginianstrcss "That's what he's always told me, but he's very reckless." He chuckled, before trailing off and letting out a sigh, drawing circles on the table with his finger.
"We can stop talking about it. I presume I'll get in trouble if I keep discussing it."
@virginianstrcss The confirmation that he wasn't unwelcomed in his joking only encouraged him to continue on, dragging a hand through his hair.
"He tends to animals and crops with the subjects! And he proceeds to say /I'm/ diluting the royal name!
He'll do as he wishes if it pleases him."
@virginianstrcss "Of course, of course. Dog-eat-dog world and such." He dismissively waved his hand, swirling his glass and taking another sip.
He laughed at his remark, having to clear his throat to shut himself up.
"I don't disagree. But the public loves old Farmer George...That's what--
@virginianstrcss "Mm, here's to hoping it stays that way. I wouldn't wish such public slander on my worst enemy...
Well, perhaps I would. But that's not a concern here, is it?"
He chuckled at his next words, shaking his head.
"He always has been. Adores my siblings. though."
