Actually... I did come here intending to ask after your wellbeing.

[Leo blinks.]

I...see. Are there rumors I am unwell?

[Who ratted him out about that stress-induced stomach flu last week, or the fever and collapse the week before?]

[kingshaming]

Rumors? No.

[Though Xander knows all, sees all- okay no, he doesn't know the details. Leo is very good at hiding things.]

But you have been working non stop from the moment the war ended.

[brynwieldr]

Of course I have been. You appointed me your chancellor, Xander, and it's my job to write up the drafts and see that your laws are implemented, particularly ones that in ten or twenty years will be beneficial for Nohr. I haven't much time to rest.

[kingshaming]

Yes, but you are my brother first.

[He sighs, rubbing the spot between his eyes where all his tension seemed to build. He hadn't intended to make this a confrontation.]

Of course I want you to be healthy and content.

[Leo's a bit touchy about this topic, sorry. He realizes it, however, and takes a deep breath]

I know. I'm sorry, Xander. Still, I'm happy to put anything and everything aside to ensure the success of your rule and our homeland. It's what I've trained to do my entire life.

[kingshaming]

I understand. This is what we risked our lives and the lives of everyone in Nohr to accomplish. As a King I could ask nothing more of you.

... as your brother I realize I have set you from one battle right into another.

[brynwieldr]

Perhaps, but this battle is something I've been anticipating. It's not going to be easy to force reform on the country, after all. We've always known that.
