[sitting in front of what appears to be an offering to the dead, very very very still. Meditating, actually. After a while, he opens his eyes to look at the offering]

... there might be a cure. She's looked for it... it's too late for you, but if this works, then no one else will suffer. I have to wonder considering how old I am if I will live through this.

[ smiles to herself. ] She would have approved of such a system. It's to Baticul's benefit that they continued to look outside of the royal family for leadership. I'm glad they decided on a system based on who a person is, not what they are.

I wonder what sort of future they would have had if the new King or Queen had been Natalia and my child.

...do you like children?

Curiosity.

I see.

I have no interest either way... but wondering what would have been.

[nods, pulling his hand back] ... [looks around]

...? [ also looks around, confused. ]

Is there anything else?

No..? I don't think so.

[looks around, awkward]

What is it?

... I would normally fall back asleep at this point. I have done what I wanted, fed... there isn't anything else I've thought of.

Why not stay up and have a look around? Try doing something you haven't done in a while?

Such as?

Reading? There's a huge library full of books. My thing is trying to learn how to cook.
