[You are in a generously sized room divided into two unequal sections. The largest half is all stone, albiet lavishly decorated with tapestries in your team color. All of them depict a lion gorged lion sprawling on a heap of mangled bodies. The floor is plain in comparison, save for your team's zodiac symbol—perhaps measuring 6 foot by 6 foot—gouged deep and smooth into the stone.

The smaller section is blocked off by a solid wall of what looks like thick, strong glass. There are no visible entrances.

Embedded into one of the walls is a large screen showing this information.]

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[thankyouverymooch]

Nothing you've done or said so far really scream that.

[ huffs out something like a laugh ]

You think? But I do. Really, I've been pretty dependent on you three since we got here.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[thankyouverymooch]

You'd be an idiot if you hadn't. But your constant prodding about my privileged position doesn't really match up with trust.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

You're not above anyone here.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[thankyouverymooch]

I'm not "above" anyone back home either.

[ disbelieving snort, but ]

I don't know how good a prince you are, but either way, in this situation I know I can rely on you. That not good enough?

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[thankyouverymooch]

The sort of prince that would never abandon his people. That's what you can rely on.

I'll believe you.

[ huffy laugh again ]

I'm not so dishonest I'll say that kind of thing lightly, mate. Now I'm not so sure you've been around mostly decent sorts, anymore.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[thankyouverymooch]

[well, he's laughing too now]

A few people here and there.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

Scandalous.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[thankyouverymooch]

You have no idea.

But we can talk about that and the people you've been around to once we get out of this room.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

Sounds good to me, mate.
