PRIVATE CHAT
YOU HAVE NO CONTROL

the actual king & the brother ✌️

the brother ✌️
hey pete,
are you proud of me?
i did something productive

the actual king
i've got to say, i'm intrigued

the brother ✌️
ella or edward

the actual king
you've lost me with that very vague statement

the brother ✌️
the name of our third child!
ella, if it's a girl
edward, if it's a boy

the actual king
don't you think edward is too similar to your name?

the brother ✌️
stop turning into your wife by degrading the amazing-ness of my name
and no, it's not, by my standards anyways

the actual king
you'd happily name your child 'edmund jr'
if no one was there to stop you

the brother ✌️
haha you know me too well
read 12:45pm

the actual king
oh, ed
whilst i've got you here
are you and juliet free around spring in the new year?

the brother ✌️
. . . that's very far ahead, pete
and if we were?

the actual king
it's very far ahead because it's the only free time i've got in these upcoming months.
and, i thought, if they'd let us
we could give the girls a little holiday?
doorn? galma? some place nice?

the brother ✌️
without the children?

the actual king
that would be the main point. . . yes
just them
after this frantic year, those two would need a holiday!

the brother ✌️
i know she'd leave our newborn child with me for a day
but a holiday?
they would be so young
she'd just worry

the actual king
you know there's such a thing called 'sending pictures and texts'
she'll be fine, just convince her
she listens to you

the brother ✌️
well, yeah.
pictures sound good
i can keep in touch with pictures

the actual king
do you think athena would like it?

the brother ✌️
you sound concerned

the actual king
the child could arrive any day now.
and i don't know what we'll both be like as parents
if we're too clingy or too distant to the child
and i don't want to curse it by saying we'll be okay with it all

the brother ✌️
i managed all right and i'm sure you will too!
and i'm pretty sure she won't be the clingy type
she's more the 'internalising every emotion until i can't handle it anymore' type

the actual king
really?

the brother ✌️
she internalised her love for you whilst you were engaged to juno pretty well
in front of every prying eye.
if anything, she'll be the one trying to get away from it all

the actual king
you keep bringing that up, ed

the brother ✌️
as a constant reminder of how much you mess up sometimes, yes.

the actual king
thanks, ed.
bud
best brother i could ever have

the brother ✌️
i'm sensing the sarcasm. . .

the actual king
you're very perceptive today, aren't you.
i'm kidding, ed

the brother ✌️
can't really remember the last time it took you seriously anyways haha
read 12:50pm

the brother ✌️
now, what was it you were saying about a hunt?

the actual king
peridan and i are going into the forest tomorrow to see if there's anything good for the all of us the day after
i'll let you know if we do find anything

the actual king
there's still a part of me that doesn't want to step foot outside the castle though
not until i know this child has been born and nothing's gone wrong

the brother ✌️
nothing's going to go wrong!
have faith, pete
stop worrying you. . . worry person?
that wasn't a good insult

the actual king
no, it really wasn't!

the brother ✌️
'worry person'
your new nickname

the actual king
thanks, ed.

the brother ✌️
you're welcome!

the actual king
ha. ha.
