what reading all that's available of magi in three days does to you

[advisors]

You cannot blame me for this. No matter how much you want to.

[enacts]

Blame you?

[advisors]

For suddenly "playing" me. Whatever that means.

[enacts]

It could be worse, at least. Mine has to put up with constant fat jokes...

[ ...alibaba pls as if that's the least of it. ]

[advisors]

You were fat, though.

[enacts]

Yeah I was, but thanks to Sinbad and all of that running I'm thin again!

[advisors]

I think I preferred when you were fat. Much less in the way.

[enacts]

Really? Is that so...

[advisors]

Yes. No having generals put aside just to train children, less worries about what such children might do in battle-

Much easier.

[enacts]

[ ja'far...he sees why you did all that now. how devious and rude... and he was going through such a hard time in his life too!! ]

I'm nearly 18, so I'm not much of a child anymore.

[kingship]

What's this? Ja'far in trouble?

[ He's amused. Very. ]

[advisors]

( ugh Sinbad don't make this worse for him )

No, just annoyed.

[kingship]

[ But that's his lot in life ... ]

By what, exactly?

[advisors]

( Don't remind him.

And oh, he's so tempted to say "you, Sin" which is true, but. There's another matter at hand. )

This whole nonsense of being "played" by someone. I don't like it.

[kingship]

[ Wow Ja'far you're so cold? ]

It's not so bad, trust me! You could do with a little relaxing anyway, Ja'far.

[advisors]

( do you really have to ask that )

Having someone trying to dictate my every move? Since when have I enjoyed that. ( Working for you doesn't count, so shhh. ) And I don't need to relax. You need to stop relaxing.

[kingship]

I wouldn't say it's really like that. [ Maybe. Scratching his head ... ]

I'm not relaxing! Actually I've been really busy!

[advisors]

Then what is it like? Besides having a. Stranger alongside you constantly. ( Stares. )

Are you now? I trust you have the work I gave you done, then.

[careless_king]

It's impossible to cast blame on anyone, Jafar. After all, who could resist this face?

[advisors]

I was not referring to you, Sin.

And I can. Very easily.

[careless_king]

Ha ha ha! You're such a fantastic kidder, Jafar. The real joy is that you always joke with such a straight face.

[advisors]

How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not joking.

Regardless, how do you deal with this... mun... thing. I still don't understand this nonsense. ( Pauses for a beat. ) And no advice involving women or alcohol, please.

[careless_king]

[Well, there goes 80% of his life advice. The rest is ADVENTURE.]

Exactly, that's the face I'm talking about.

Consider it an honor! Think of it as finally reaching a level where you have your own dedicated followers.

[advisors]

Ugh, Sin- That's not- ( NEVERMIND. )

I don't want followers. Shooing yours away are bad enough.

[careless_king]

You shoo people away from me? Hey now, that's a bit rude. I'll have you know that they are mostly respectable girls.

[advisors]

They are anything but and you are well aware of it.

If you would take a wife we wouldn't have all these problems, you realise.
