Ophelia: I don't need help. My kingdom does.. *looks away* But you wouldn't understand that. You seem to know nothing of duty.
...
Iann: ..I want to go see him. -
Aaron: What the hell do you mean by that!? I have a great sense of duty! And I carry it out all of the time..
~
Angel: Okay.. *opens a portal* Try there. -
Ophelia: Really? Well, my duty is to marry a man who can be our next king. A man who will give us land as well as wealth and arms. A man who.. Can provide heirs. And, you're sitting here whining like a little brat about the fact that you might just have to be that man! How do you think I feel? You're not even cute!
...
Iann: *walks through~* -
Aaron: *stands* *and hisses* I'm not going to be my father's pawn. I refuse to marry someone I don't love. Especially one that can't appricate the fact that I tried to help. If you want to sit on this bench and wait to fulfill your destiny, have fun. I'm not helping since you don't want it. I've half the mind to knock you over..

Owen: *playing with a bird, not noticing him* -
Ophelia: Don't pretend you have a choice. As a son of a king, you'll be married off to who your father picks. It doesn't matter if you're in love with someone else. *and then clamps hand over mouth, glaring daggers at him*
...
Iann: ..Owwwwen. -
I'm not pretending. My father can be as land, money, men, or power thirsty as he wants... But whom I marry will not be some child who cannot be bothered to make use of allies. *glares* It does matter. If Reign's father, who killed so many people, could give her and Charlotte a choice.. I'd imagine my father, who is more innocent, can do the same. *turns back on her* Let me guess, you loved someone you couldn't have. Your parents are dead, are they not? Why not go after him?
~
Owen: *looks up* *and the bird swoops out the window* Father? -
Ophelia: ..Her. I cannot go after her, because to do so, would be to discard my duty to the throne. I.. Would have to leave the throne in the hands of my uncle, who.. Who is responsible for their death. *grabs another knife* And what troubles do you know, little prince? Surely, you're not just an ass for the fun of it.
....
Iann: *walks over* *softly* What if I told you that I could get you into the best medical school in the world? -
Aaron: ..Kill your uncle, then. Go after her, kill your uncle.. Shove the duty onto another person. *pauses, playing with the hem of shirt* *laughs, shaking head* Heh.. I just don't like the idea of love. I mean, my father did a s---ty job of it up until now. Whenever he went to medical school, he always found some chick.. Or he'd tell my mother that he didn't love her enough, or that she wasn't fit for him.. But he stuck around, and as much as I hated him for that, I loved him. Then I met this girl.. *slowly sits back down, staring at the wall* She had an abusive boyfriend. They had kids, despite the fact they were young.. He was going to leave her, he didn't care for her anymore. The kids.. Their kids.. Were so sad. And I liked her, so when he left her.. I came in. *pauses, looking over at her* They're all missing now. Dead, for all I know. Everyone from their family disappeared. It's like finding something to keep your troubles out of your mind, and then.. Losing what you just found all too soon. Maybe I'm mad that I couldn't protect her, or.. I dunno. I wasn't really known for being nice, you know.
~
Owen: *eyes widen* The best in the world!? But.. I haven't gone to school at all. I wouldn't do good there.. And, I may not even be good at helping people.. *looks down* I'm half blind. Who would trust me to take care of them? -
Ophelia: If I killed him, I would be put on trial for it, found guilty, and executed, as would my whole line. And.. And she would be drawn into it, I know. So I have no choice. I will marry a prince whom I do not love, and I will have a heir with him, and I will hope that he does not find out about her and I. *glances at legs* *softly* What was her name?
...
Iann: Owen. You're my son. I was completely blind. I hardly had any schooling. And I went there, so I can get you in, alright? You'll do great. -
Aaron: ..Hah.. I could tell you so many ways he could be put to death, but it seems like you do not wish that. *looks at her legs as well* *avoids her question* Why wasn't he put on trial for the murder of your parents?
~
Owen: *bites lip* I.. I need to help you here, though. I couldn't possibly leave everyone behind.. -
Ophelia: Because they cannot prove he did it, nor do they want to. *sighs* What was her name, Aaron?
...
Iann: Owen. We'll be fine. I want you to be happy. Anyways.. I.. Think I know a way you could help a lot of people before you leave. There is a marriage I need to arrange with one of my sons, and I think Aaron's heart belongs to someone already, so.. -
Aaron: But you were there, though! You saw him do it, did you not? How could they not take your word for it? *frowns* *stares at her* I.. Namine. Her name was Namine. *sighs, biting lip* Her children were Jason and Sunny.. I used to beat up the bullies for them, and heal them when they were hurt.. *head in hands* I wish I knew where they were, dead or alive.
~
Owen: ..Aaron doesn't know what he wants, father. It's not that his heart belongs to someone.. He doesn't know what to do with it. *sad smile* I.. I'm scared of girls.. ^^" And if it's that girl with the broken legs, she's TERRIFYING. You're better off getting Aaron to hook up with her. -
Ophelia: He had his men do it for him, and I.. Was unconscious. Your father is a king, why not have him send people to find them?
...
Iann: I don't want him to hook up with her. I want him to marry her.. And yes, Ophelia is.. Terrifying. Can you talk to him for me, hm? I want him to have a say, but I promised she would be married to one of my sons.. -
Aaron: ..They don't know that I'm the son of a prince. The last time I saw them was.. So, so long ago.. When I was younger. I want to find them on my own. *pauses* *then looks at her* I wish I could help you get your girl. You must not be happy, knowing that my father wants you to marry me or my brother..
~
Owen: *shrugs to him* You can always wait for the new kid to be born and pray it's a boy.. uwu I could.. I think you just need to give him time. -
Ophelia: I know that I would rather marry you than some old man who only wanted money. *thin smile*
...
Iann: ..I don't have time. Ophelia doesn't have time.
