The boy sighed a little bit. The man kind of had a point, considering the boy knew very little about the place he was. Did it matter? He wanted it not to matter, he wanted to shrug it off and forget about this, but he was unsure if it was a good idea. Information about that place in general...
So, Ventemal wanted to continue the conversation..... later? Okay. Whatever.
He watched as the man began moving up the platters to the other side, towards a stream of running water, so they could be washed out.
He sighed a little bit, at what the man said later. Clearly the boy didn't like what...
Ventemal was exactly proving his point. Convincing others about things that were obviously truth was exhausting, it was just easier to tell them what to do: no respect, no questioning, just, 'yes sir'. How could someone think they understand the inner-workings of the world, when they don't even...
Colin chuckled a little bit when 'fairies' were mentioned. Did the boy look like a fairy?! Maybe it was the white clothes?
"No.. I don't come from the realm of fairies." He smiled a little bit. Ventemal, though, was speaking with such a certainty, as if fairies were real. Well, maybe they were...
Hm. The man didn't react as bad as he was anticipating, which was good. In fact, Ventemal said nothing about Colin's comments of primitive, again, good. Instead, Ventemal decided to focus on the leader stuff.
So that was the difference between leading, and ruling? Well.
"I don't want to guide...
Oh. Things the boy saw in the forest. Those looked like fair way to measure his strength, he figured. He let out a small sigh when this was mentioned.
"Fine. I.. well.. I am stronger than I look." He admitted. It was clear the man caught on this fact with just logic, and at this point, he felt...
"A leader?" Was the man serious? Didn't he notice the rather young age for the boy? Not that he could learn and be one, of course. The boy was pretty smart, after all. He also could try to take the position by force using his powers.. Nevertheless, he had been downplayed many times, and he was...
Yes, he sat down at the same place that he had sat down yesterday. After all, why to change? Routines were comfortable.
RIght.. The man was already thinking on how to take advantage of the boy's powers, simply just like everyone he had met possibly. On the other hand, the man was giving him...
Suddenly the man found him and began his morning speech. Apparently the man slept too much, then something about changing his clothes (in which Colin didn't like that much), something about having breakfast (which Colin did like!), and something about his power (which Colin was not sure what to...
He woke up. On his own. After sleeping who knows how long, he opened his eyes, still tired from the previous day, and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling.. right... he just remembered the events of the previous day. He let out a small sigh, stretching both his arms and his legs across the bed...
As he was walking by from the shower, he noticed the two men were still talking among themselves, about who knows what. He didn't want to bother, nor to know. He also didn't want to disturb their conversation in anyway, not even to wish for a good night. He was dreaming with a good and nice...
He listened to the explanation, and then, he went towards the place Ventemal had instructed him, so he could have a shower. He heard the water running, and got inside, looking around. Rather primitive. Whatever. It was considerably better than nothing. He moved his hand to see the temperature of...
He walked right in the room they were at.. he simply wanted to pass by, to the room Ventemal had already spoke of him, but, when Ventemal saw him, the man came right towards him. Colin was surprised about what Ventemal said: he hadn't seen the room he was going to stay.. yet. He was confused...
He listened.. The man was once more making a rather long speech, explaining about the importance, the utmost relevance and urgency, about how imperative it was, for the boy to reveal where he came from. WHY. He was getting angry and annoyed with the situation. However, to his surprise, the man...
What? How can the man say the boy is really not from around there? Earlier, Ventemal had explained how some people with abilities go into jobs as body guards, or, lifting weights... because of the lifting weight example, the boy assumed their abilities were similar to his? Wasn't that the case...
He watched as Ventemal introduced himself to the new man with the strange name, saying he was the 'new boy', and that Ventemal could be very involved this time. He wasn't exactly sure what all of that meant. Why would the man be so involved? Was it the boy's fault?
After Ventemal told the man...
Well, indeed, he had certain preferences about music, but how was that important? Soup first, music later! Wasn't that obvious? Come on!!! Soon Ventemal told him to follow, at the very least, that was what the boy had understood. He nodded, getting himself up, and listening to the instructions...
He didn't expect this to happen, but it happened. The prince told the guard to leave, and the guard left.. ..and undoubtedly kept himself standing 5 meters away from the room they were right now, ready to return at the slightest command from the prince..
Here we go.
More questions.
The prince...
Nop.
What could the prince do? At least that was easy to answer.
"Prove it then!" He said, his voice louder in tone than usual.
"I want him gone." He pointed to the guard that had brought him there.
Would the prince choose to stay alone with the boy? Without his guards?
The prince looked...
Sadly for the prince, the boy was wary. More so after the prince explained the situation. There were many holes in the explanation, suggesting, they were hiding something, or perhaps their intentions were not as good. The boy was smart!
He began asking lots of questions.
"If you're so afraid of...
