A fee...

[ It's charging them a fee, wow, what the fuck? ]

But what do we choose?

[ There is... a brief moment where Childermass looks back at the throne, lips pursed and brow furrowed. He does not like the idea, and yet? ]

I could try bringing the king with me...

Uh.

[ well. the king version of Childermass did spit out the name of the man. eventually. but... ]

Would that king even be willing to search for information? I guess he might have more context for things... But is it worth it? Besides, it kind of seemed like you hated the idea of royalty before.

I do not think he'd have much choice past the door... Though you are right. I have no desire to be royalty, but if not that, then what else? Leave something behind, or take something from you or me...?

If that is what you want. Shall we?

[ He's not so sure about any of this, haha, but he is going to try and take the king with him. ]

[ neither is he, but he won't show it ]
