Voice Testing a new (old?) part of a story and looking at Rekindle

[lytelcniht]

Young lord, I find little reason for your nervousness.

Know you not that a king stands before you? All will be well. No challenge shall best me with the blessing of the sword in my--

...The premise emphasises touch? You must not be serious.

...You are? Young lord- I think you must gravely misunderstand my role here.



[So this Saber is pre-canon, at the time King Arthur would have been a Feudal Lord. As such she will refer to herself as male and as "Lord Arthur Pendragon"! So she's about 15-16 here.]

...I suppose, in the essence of the matter, no.

However, being that my preferences detail quite a different style of living, I'm not sure what on this holy earth he is thinking.

[circuited]

Umm... I don't really know either.

Couldn't you tell him not to do it? Since you're a king.

[lytelcniht]

Unfortunately, it would seem as though the influence of a king has very little bearing on people of such a nature.

[Sorry not sorry.]

[circuited]

That's too bad. [ and kind of scary! ]

[lytelcniht]

I suppose it may be, but no such matter will impede me. I suppose if this is something that must be dealt with, I shall rise to face it.


...And are you going as well? [Is this place even safe for kids? She sure hopes so.]

[circuited]

It's just touching, right? That sounds like it could be okay.

... um, I don't know yet. The lady with me says she's got to sort out people in other places first.

[lytelcniht]

Such closeness can be very improper. [Why is everyone so okay with it...? Is she missing something...?]

Well, such responsibility is not surprising. In any case, I should hope she has the good sense not to put you in danger.

[circuited]

Oh... well, it isn't always, is it? [ hugs are nice things, your lordship!!! ]

I don't think she'd send me anywhere bad. It might be nice to go somewhere different.

[lytelcniht]

Well... I suppose, but there are few times in which such a thing is proper for a lord to engage in, especially on such a scale....

And I should hope not. It would be a cruel move of her to put you in danger.

[circuited]

Why not?

I guess so.

[lytelcniht]

...It's a complicated matter. It simply would not be right. Not more than, I suppose, a touch of the hand or some such gesture... but even then, what such things could communicate...

And of course endangering you would not go well. [Is this child not worried at all?]

[circuited]

... I'm sorry, I don't think I really get it.

[ he is a little worried! just... maybe not as much as he should be. ] I know that. I just, um, didn't think about it much till now.

[lytelcniht]

It is quite all right. There is little need to understand, I suppose.

[Sweet summer child.]

Well, you ought to be careful. There are many places far too dangerous around here for you.

[circuited]

I will be careful, I promise! [ he's confused about how concerned this person seems to be, but since Arthur's so serious about telling him... besides, it's not as if he wants to go anywhere dangerous. ]

Do you know about any of those places?

[lytelcniht]

Only very little. It was in allowing me to stay that the decision was reached upon consideration of this game of touch, but m'lord had made a small chore of searching for places I may find residence before this.

There are many places I would be appalled to find a child so young.
