Well, I'd like to see that as well.

[ Connie is trying to better himself, it is is an admirable pursuit ok. ]

[takeroot]

Then you will have to pick the tree. I have acquired one of those as well, though I am rather taken with it and would hate it to see it harmed.

[summonere]

Acquired a tree? What do you mean.

[takeroot]

Well, mostly that there is a tree in my chambers now and I am obligated to look after it. It's from my home, as far as I can tell.

[summonere]

A sapling? Or has your bed been splintered through?

[ He doesn't know which one to imagine. ]

[takeroot]

It is sort of... bent into the corner.

[Look, it's wild. He didn't even ask for this tree, but it's His now.]

[summonere]

That is very strange. Are you certain it's not there to drain your blood or some such?

[ ...just... asking... ]

[takeroot]

My friend, it is a tree. I think I would notice if it wanted to poison me or kill me in my sleep or some other dastardly deed!

[summonere]

There's a tree called a Qliphoth. A plant from the underworld, it drinks blood.

[takeroot]

This is a tree from Teer Fradee, my island. Trust me! I would know one on sight.

[......okay, BUT--]

Why would a tree drink blood at all?

[summonere]

If it gets enough to drink, it sprouts a particular fruit. Eating it crowns you the king of hell.

[takeroot]

[This sounds like an absolutely wild story, but one time Constantin pissed off God and God was, conveniently enough, also a tree, so maybe not--]

That is an awful lot of effort to go to for fruit. Even king's fruit.

[summonere]

Oh? The pursuit of power doesn't motivate you?

[takeroot]

In hell? No. I'd prefer my own little piece of the world, if I had to choose. Unbothered and unburdened, you know.

[summonere]

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown?

[takeroot]

My father is a prince and I am his only heir, which in some ways means I will never be rid of him. So yes, you could say that literally, if you like.

[summonere]

It does seem to be unfortunate to be the heir to a father's legacy sometimes.

I know a few people obsessed with its meaning, or lack thereof.

[ Depends which brother you ask. ]

[takeroot]

The mere thought of it exhausts me.

[Dads.... who has the TIME!!]

I could endure a legacy were it to come from a different man! But it's as I've said: it would be enough to be left to my own devices, at long last.

[summonere]

Then I won't try to get between you and your tree.

[takeroot]

Thank you, we're very close. I'm considering giving it a name, but I wonder if that would be a touch gauche.

[summonere]

Doesn't that depend on the name?

[takeroot]

I am open to suggestions! Not from Griffon.

[summonere]

I'd name it after a philosopher. Is that boring?

[takeroot]

That would depend on which one.

Kidding. Tell me.

[summonere]

Pythagoras is classical.
