Do you not wish to return or is your will simply that weak?

You do not understand, boy. There is no way back for me. It has nothing to do with wills or wishes, it is a simple matter of what I am and how I was connected to my world.

Of which I am no longer, I may add-- severed, dangling off the edge of a sharp cliff with no hope of repair. I have lived for a long time, my child, and I know my place in the world... and when I have been taken out of it.

[=T]

I cannot accept that there is no way to return. What has been done here should be impossible, but it has been done.

I'm not saying to stop trying. I was only saying there's no harm in making your stay here as comfortable as possible.

[ Splashing him. ]

Wash behind your ears.

[8T

splashes back]

I do not need instructions in washing.

[ Splashing harder!! ]

And your hair and your toes. Don't miss any spots!

[;sf;k]

You have a lot more flesh to worry about than me!

[.....grabs her to dunk her]

[ Laughs, letting him, before grabbing him trying to toss him with her height advantage. ]

But I am not a child. I already know all of my body.

[ONE DAY I WILL HAVE WEIGHT ADVANTAGE!! splashes into the water and recovers himself easily]

I am not a child as you keep suggesting either, I know all of my body and plenty others.

You're... what. Thirteen, maybe? You haven't lived enough to know all of your body.

[=T 12, but not going to correct you]

You, who know none of it, hardly get a say.

And I will not be interested until you grow up a little more. Now wash up before you wrinkle.

[whatever place you are from is weird.

but w/e

wrinkling is a valid concern, dunks himself and goes to sit on the edge of the hot tub]

Do you miss your children, to harass me so?

[ Idly begins rubbing off some dirt from her arms. ]

My only daughter is here, but she is grown now-- I do miss young children, yes. Though I daresay if I weren't here to pester you, you'd miss it.

Your value is not in your pestering.

Your daughter is...?

[hmmm =|a]

The gods continue to chose those with strong connections, then.

Where does my value lie, then, my little lord?

It appears that way, yes.

[skips that question]

Have they said why?

It seems to be coincidental, from what I've heard.

You didn't answer my question.

[sigh]

You are willing to be useful.

I am willing to be a lot of things.

But I cannot abandon a child, especially in a place like this. Even if you were not in need of help.

I am not in need of help, but I will accept your usefulness.

You cannot do everything alone, little king. That's all.

[ Sinking down into the water, relaxing. ]

I have no desire to.

Then you do have some sense in you, at least.

'At least'. It would hardly be kingly to try.
