Ben Finn

[payraise]

Listen, I know you've decided to go with old Walter for this 'Visitor Event' thing, but you couldn't resist making an account for me now, could ya?

I'd like to see Her Majesty again but I guess he deserves it more. Just don't forget to remind her she still owes me that pay raise.

Oh and find me a Page, would ya?

I do not owe you a pay raise. Last I was aware, you had left the army and went with Page to help out in Industrial.

[Good to see you again Ben.]

[payraise]

Retroactive pay raise, Your Majesty. A whole year of working hard and not a gold piece more. I ask you, how am I supposed to survive on that?!

[Good to see you, too Your Majesty.]

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

[She smirks slightly.]

You seem to have survived just fine. Good thing Page opened up her underground headquarters for you.

[payraise]

She has come round to my way of thinking. Or, she will. She tolerates me, at least.

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

Yes she does. How she tolerates you is beyond my understanding. [A smile and a short pause.] How have you been?

[payraise]

How could she not grow to love this face?

[He grins back]

Been good. You? How've you been without my cheer?

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

[She rolls her eyes.]

Shut up Ben.

[She laughs slightly.]

Oh you know, I've been well all and all. Left Walter's Memorial and found myself in some post apocalyptic wasteland called Adstringendum. Trapped there until they send me home. [She pauses.] Logan is there as well.

[payraise]

[Ahh, the familiar words.]

Adstringendum, sounds like the place she was going to send me.

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

It is interesting enough. If I didn't have a kingdom to rule I wouldn't mind it so much.

[payraise]

You know, I've kind of missed our adventures. Not the Albion-in-peril parts but the other bits.

[teach_me_to_be_a_hero]

I miss them as well. Granted there are "events" [Air quotations included.] that keep me on my toes but it is quite lonely there.

[cockinthecrown]

No one owes you anything, Finn.

[payraise]

I think you'll find they do. You would be the one who stopped us all getting paid properly.

[cockinthecrown]

No, that would be treason.

[payraise]

Not treason if you're not the King, which you're not.
