eachdraidh | ✘ video / after the feast / open to both courts

[ Hans has made pretty good legwork around Caer Scima during and after the feast, but that's not quite enough to satisfy his curiosity on a few matters - the locket, for one, and the other court for another. So he might as well kill two birds with one stone, right? Besides, while he's still getting his bearings, the best thing he could do what get to know as many people as possible. He hates being so unfamiliar with, well, everyone.

So he greets the video feed with a friendly, enthusiastic grin, his actual exhaustion buried deep beneath the surface. ]

Good evening! I apologize for the interruption, but I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself. I'm Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, and I've only just arrived in this world. As you might imagine, it's a bit overwhelming. If wouldn't mind taking a moment of your time to help me better understand the conflict going on here, I would appreciate it.

[ Then, after a thoughtful moment: ] And for curiosity's sake, who else is a royal in their own world? Surely, I can't be the only lucky one here.

[ Sure, lucky, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ]

Thank you for listening. I hope we'll be able to cross paths in person soon.

[ he's the fire lord, yet he holds no power in this country. at least he has found another who may feel as helpless as he does, frustrated by the invisible chains that shouldn't be tied around the wrists of a king or prince. he's required to bow and bend the knee to another king — but at least it's not azula. ]

[ it's curiousity he feels. are there others like them out there? zuko had met none — no royalty, save for the thrones of the high-king and high-queen, but they existed within drabwurld, not other countries that had no place on his own maps. that fire in his tone is gone. ] ... And have you?

Well, I met you, didn't I? [ Sounding as friendly as ever, but he is wondering if it was a question worth his time. It would likely still yet be awhile before he could determine that - and seeing what these acquaintances proved to be. ]

[ zuko doesn't count. zuko's rules. ]

Princes. [ it comes out just a little forcefully. he amends that. ] Did you meet any other princes? [ since that clarification may get him an answer that isn't you. zuko is never the answer, even if it had been his destiny to be the answer to the turmoil his great grandfather had caused. ]

Not strictly speaking, no. [ A king, a water tribe princess-plus-Avatar, and the son of a god, but no other princes yet. ]

So, what? It's just you and me? [ zuko pulls a nice plurk emote's (unsure) face. that doesn't make him feel any at ease. when he would've liked to have been the only prince in all the land, he doesn't want to be special in drabwurld. what happens if that means he has to deal with more imps? ]

[ they really like him and he does not like it. ]

I thought you were a king. [ Was that a note a bitterness in his voice? Surely not... ] My apologies - a Fire Lord.
