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.]

Yay! See! Hugs are fun!

[If he thinks the hug is awkward at all, he doesn't make a mention of it. Instead, Diarmuid hugs Arthur for a moment longer before stepping back with a large smile on his face.

It takes so little to make him happy.]

So you will come now, right? I want a new friend to play with and hug!

[Congratulations, Arthur. He means you.]

[lytelcniht]

[Embarrassed? A king has no room for embarrassment. She is simply surprised, is all.

Diarmuid is a charming child, and so innocent that she can do little to imply 'no'.]

...Well, a knight must aid and protect the good. I suppose if my service is required, I cannot deny such a request...

[smallspot]

Yay!

[The boy jumps up and down clapping his hands excitedly.]

I don't think you will be bored, Lord! There is so much to do and to see! There are giant talking robots and generators we have to find and power up and gods and elves who tell stories and...

[He might go on like this for a while. It will probably be to Arthur's benefit to distract him.]

[lytelcniht]

[She'd be able to distract him if she knew what he was talking about.]

....Wait- wait! What is a robot? And what is a generator?

[smallspot]

Robots are human shaped things made out of metal like swords are! I don't know how it works. I think it would hurt being made out of hard stuff like metal, but Wing is really nice and really tall! I can see forever when he lets me sit on his shoulders!

[Diarmuid pauses, thinking hard. While he had gotten to talk to a robot, he hadn't actually gotten to see the generator himself.]

Generators are the things they use to power the city. I don't know what they look like, but people had to go find them so that we could safely use the new part of the city.

[His eyes suddenly light up.]

There are all kinds of shops there too! So much to buy and you don't even have to trade for it. They give us some money to use because we are helping them! That is what you use instead of trading for things.
