“Aren’t kings supposed to have a loyal court jester?”

Distorted, warbling laughter followed. “If you’re ever in need of entertainment, I’m open for the job— for a price of course.”

// The clown is harassing Romeo -🤡

The King knew any and all of his subjects quite well. With their connection through Ergo, it was hard to MISS a single creation newly placed under his care-- and The King certainly did care, even if he had never asked for the crown to begin with. It was his now, and he accepted the responsibility.

All puppets were BOUND by the Grand Covenant placed unto them by their creator: Giuseppe Geppetto. That was why he watched the strange puppet with interest, taking in their unique appearance. They were not of the same kin, and that fact alone had Romeo cocking his head curiously.

"I've had many in the past. Unfortunately they're all in pieces, now." There was a smile all the same, fingers running across the arm rest of a lone throne he did not sit upon. He wasn't one for idly standing by. "If it's loyalty you're selling, then how loyal can it be, if it can be bought?" His tone was TEASING, revealing he wasn't at all opposed to the offer, despite his words.

Desperate times, and all that.

"But I have ask, where did you come from, my laughing fellow? And why the interest in a King who isn't yours?"
