May I suggest Your Grace be careful with your words, lest you find yourself tricked. Wherever we are may not care that you are King. It may prove best to negotiate, not to demand.
While I suggest you take your chance to get all your misses pieces back, little man. Do yourself a favor for once in your miserable life.
[ Like how the king is doing! Who is now far more nicely dressed in this very yellow outfit. Childermass is going to hate this! Which... is true, because as soon as he has the new outfit, he suddenly looks far less thrilled with everything. ]
...which is one thing I wished I did not agree with the king on, but it may be your only chance. [ But what's the price? Magi keeps saying there is none, but that has to be a lie, right? ] I am sorry, Thancred. We encountered the king behind our first door and I thought to bring him along.

Gained a passenger, did you. [There's hesitance, mixed with an odd tinge of empathy.] I can't say I'm a fan of him.

Mm. I wonder if they would match the similar effects Anaxa was familiar with. All we saw were products of a mad man bent on bringing about a different world. Again, though, we can save that for another time.
[When they aren't surrounded by the death ribbons]
I can humor His Majesty if he shows up again, but do pardon me if I get in your way to stop you from doing anything too reckless.
[ Childermass nods, to both suggestions, though he will add, ]
Ludger already has permission to become rough with me if necessary. The same goes for the rest of you. Please do what you think is needed if he gets out of hand...

Had your king found a name for it? We saw something of similar color, but it was too dangerous to approach without our bodies deteriorating.
