[ He hums in response to that, flat and brief. He does wonder what their whole purpose here is, but it's only a fleeting curiosity—he's not the type to go chasing down answers.
Instead, he takes the room for a moment longer before making his way to the couch too. ]
No. When I traveled, it was usually to observe rare flora. A desert runs a little counter to that.
[ Though there's unique species of plants everywhere. He just didn't get out much. He uses his crutch to balance his weight, easing onto the couch with a question, blunt in its nonchalance. ]
You don't seem all too fond of your station. Or is it resentment that you won't be king?
[ ah, he's just swinging for the fences. well--- leona does deserve a reality check once in a while. it's probably the best that it's coming from nehan.
hey, if he wants to get out once in a while? give leona the right equipment be a properly enchanted broom or possibly borrow a magic carpet from a certain little rich guy, and nehan will be seeing a whole new world. ]
Mostly that. [ he clicks his tongue. ] Pretty much impossible. Thought through hard work and strength alone I would've been the right choice. But no.
[ leona frowns, leans further back. ]
Survival of the fittest but the strong can still help out those who need it. Yet here I am with all that power and then some. All the ideas in the world to make life better but I get shut down for bein' the prince and not the king. Crazy.
He doesn't know the bureaucracy and intricacies involved with noble lineage—is it as straightforward as it sounds, a matter of blood and timing, or as corrupt as any other chain of power? He sets his crutch aside with a soft hum, patient in his goading. ]
So this title of yours really is a mockery.
[ King of Diamonds. ]
You think you deserve the crown more than your siblings?
[ king of diamonds... he has no leadership over the rest of the diamonds. if all the hard work he's done here is due to the amount of cards he's gathered, then that's pretty annoying. isn't it? and here he was just enjoying the company he's had--- including nehan's. ]
I've worked harder than him, that's for sure. But by virtue of bein' the oldest, our sick father handed him the crown. Dunno what he sees in him. What has he done that I haven't?
[ rhetorical questions that only he can answer and doesn't want to answer. can't nehan see how majestic and deserving leona is? see how handsome he is as he lounges, crosses a leg over the other, tilts his head back... ]
