No, nothing really important. It's not like you'd actually listen anyway.

There is one thing though. This name?

Haha. "Royal bastard" was funny a few years ago but that's not what I meant.

I mean...I've been King of Ferelden for a while now. I've actually traveled out of Ferelden [and thus, "hopped borders"] with all the political things I have to deal with.

So my question is: Isn't this name [and "royal bastard" but it's not what he's referring to] somewhat outdated?

...you're laughing again. Of course. Why do I even bother?

Maybe it's a joke. That's what my mun is smiling at.

Oh... OH, I get it!

[hopsborders]

What joke? Get what? [He knows that he's King but come on. He's been proving himself ever since he got put on the throne.]

[taser_happy]

Okay ah... Let's see. If I were to hop borders, I'd wouldn't be sleeping with just men.

[hopsborders]

Well, if women are also your thing I don't see the prob-

...wait. [Does the math.]

AGH!

[Directly towards his mundane:] You!

[lickalamppost]

I...

[Grumble grumble. Look at this thing he got stuck with. Really funny, mun.]

Do you want to trade?

[hopsborders]

[Blinks.] Maker, no. That's even more outdated than all the titles given to me.

[A beat.]

You have my condolences, by the way. [With a name like that, he means.]

i'm so out of practice but i couldn't resist ;w;

[lickalamppost]

Hilarious, isn't she? Sitting back and laughing her silly little boots off at this exchange.

You should see the other one she's got. [serderpus]. Ghastly thing. I'm starting to wonder if she actually likes me at all.

[Pause.]

I mean you. I mean me. I mean... you know, I don't know what I mean.

:3

[hopsborders]

I've been here long enough to know what you mean, other me.

[yesswoopingisbad]

It seems they think we're all one trick ponies, apparently.

[ see his name for example. ]

[hopsborders]

You know, I was waiting for that one to come around. [Swooping. Yep.]

[yesswoopingisbad]

In his defense, his girlfriend had thought it funny at the time.

[ Alistair, not so much. ]

[hopsborders]

The things you do for love. [Or for your country. But "Border Hopping King" is not a title he wants associated with him.]

[yesswoopingisbad]

I suppose it could still be worse -- I'm hearing whispers of the prospects of the very dreaded 'wearsadress' and 'dancestheramamda'. [ Alistair, any and all prospects are because of you. It's your fault we like mocking you. ]

At least your 'name' can be... taken in an non... that way.

[hopsborders]

Practically everything we've said throughout our lives are slowly coming back to bite us in the ass.

Yes, well...now that I've figured what it really meant I'm going to have a little talk with a certain Antivan who sparked that conversation. [Because it's pointless to argue with the mundane /sob]

[yesswoopingisbad]

I am unsure if I, er. We, should just take a vow of silence. Never to speak again... Never to have something held above our head.

[ Pointless indeed. ]

... Good luck, Me. [ Face. Palm. ]

[selfloyalty]

I believe they both still work.

[:|]

[hopsborders]

[Ooooh. From the wifey. OUCH!]

Heeeey! I thought we were supposed to support one another!

[selfloyalty]

Supporting your mundane is supporting you, in a sense.

[hopsborders]

No, it's the exact opposite! If you had seen the plans she originally had for me...[and he's glad she didn't so he'll just end it there.]

[selfloyalty]

And what were these plans again? I do not believe I was ever told what they were.

[she won't.]

[thelastking]

You would do well to take their mischief in stride.

Aragon, son of Arathorn and Isildur's heir....and then there's Alistair.

[hopsborders]

I know. I've been taking a lot of things in stride. [Most of the time.] Bastard this, bastard that... [Though he's used to that by now. It's just that he will forever have to deal with his mun making fun of him whether he's King or not or even has the Maker himself on his side.]

Come now! Alistair is the son of a king and is a wonderful grey warden

[thelastking]

They'll soon grow bored of such jest over time, my friend.

[ He smiles somewhat. ]

Until then, pay very little heed of their words.

Bastard son and he's not *THE* Warden. LOL

[hopsborders]

Iiii don't know about that. Have you been here long?

*sigh* You don't take compliments well j/k

[thelastking]

Long enough to see that these "people" aren't truly as viscous as they seem.

I just *RARE*LY hear them ha HAAAA /ba dam bish

[hopsborders]

You're just saying that because you didn't have a mundane that wanted to parade you around a noble gathering naked before an epic showdown. [Granted that it technically didn't happen in his reality- otherwise Ser Mac Tir Buttface would be dead dead and most especially dead. Still, the thought is still there and he cannot unsee it.]

*El-Oh-El*

[thelastking]

[ His brow arches high in both shock and doubt. ]

Well then, I certainly hope your mundane possesses more sense than that.

[ For the love of the Valar, you better not cross your "sword" with the wrong one, Alistair. ]

There's a difference between jest and madness.

[onceslaved]

When did you become king? [The likeness is almost frightening, and Fiona's first assumption is that this must Cailan. For her, Maric had still been upon the throne, so this is new.]

I read the books and I know she's from Orlais but I dunno if she has the accent or not :'|

[hopsborders]

[He's not shiny enough to be Cailan.]

A few years now, since the Archdemon's defeat. [He's met a lot of elves here who aren't from Thedas. From her robes, she looks like she's from around. Right? Either way, he doesn't recognize her.]

It was rather unorthodox [and really not his choice- right down to his marriage he's getting used to it] with how I got the throne but there you have it.

[ladyspitfire]

What would you prefer instead? "Cheese monger"?

[hopsborders]

Now that is timeless.
