Anduin Wrynn (18) King and priest. Hopefully not as dull as that sounds.

[Anduin is visibly startled by the reply]

What, really?

[drehnifusbahi]

Really. [He smiles.] Call it an interest in comparative theology, if you like.

[That's not the only reason he's interested, of course. But the others will keep, for the moment.]

[lionshope]

I didn't think anyone really used these. They seem so [he hesitates, searching for a word that fits, but isn't rude or too revealing] impersonal.

Comparative theology? Are you a priest as well?

[drehnifusbahi]

They are a bit, aren't they? But they do make it fairly easy to arrange for face-to-face meetings.

[He smiles at the question, but shakes his head.]

No. But my mother was a priestess - of Dibella. I was practically raised in the chapel.

I don't think that sounds dull at all. I've never met a prince, especially not one who's also a priest.

[lionshope]

Maybe it just seems dull to me. It means I never got out much.

[I am so, so sorry about how incredibly late this reply is! Feel free to ignore it if you like.]

[subroutined]

I never did either, until I came here. I wasn't anything as exciting as a prince, though.

[ He just lived in an attic for eleven years. ]

[lionshope]

By choice, or was there some other reason?

[subroutined]

My administrator didn't want anyone seeing me. She kept me in the attic.

[ One must not offend royalty. ]

[lionshope]

I'm always surprised when anyone replies to this at all, much less favorably.

[mindmeld]

Why does that surprise you?

[lionshope]

I suppose it's that it doesn't really fit with my mental image of myself, or at least of how people see me.

[mindmeld]

Then perhaps it is time to adjust your mental perception of yourself, as a negative self-view can be a hindrance to interactions with other individuals.

[Now that he's more okay with that whole 'I thought a boy was hot' thing...]

Dude, prince and priest is the opposite of dull. Unless you're the kind of priest who believes in not having fun.

[lionshope]

I'm definitely not that kind of priest.

[Not that he's had many opportunities for fun, but that doesn't mean he disapproves of it or doesn't enjoy it.]

Perhaps it just sounds dull to me because I'm too familiar with all the boring parts of both.

[brightline]

Awesome. We should definitely have fun together sometime then.

There are boring parts to being a prince? Really?

[lionshope]

I'd like that.

Most of it is boring, actually. I had to take guards whenever I went anywhere and I wasn't often able to go out to begin with, except for public appearances. Most of the rest of it was lessons. Some of those were interesting, but I always wanted more opportunities to go out and see things for myself.

Not a combination I've found in 500 years. Do you have fun more like a priest or more like a prince?

un: anduin

[lionshope]

I didn't think it was so unusual.

And that is a very strange question.

[dweomer]

Perhaps not in your world; in mine, those roles have historically been a bit contradictory. Hence my question.

[lionshope]

Why would that be?

I haven't had to choose between them. Not yet, at least.

King sounds a bit more cool than priest, I have to admit.
Though our definitions might be different, so.
