@royally-loved you rang? I do take clients outside of the Baron, my rates are a little steeper because I don’t get benefits and such for outside work.
Rates are nothing to me, I am both rich and extremely powerful. Though I’ve been told I can be a “difficult case” by many. How does a satchel of gold per session work? Or perhaps some cows? My people have many cows now and they’ve been gifting them to me.
Uhhhh… 40 gold pieces will suffice, other than those extremely generous gifts- where would you life to begin?
I’m not quite sure how this works, truly. I’ve just been told I ‘need help’ by screaming maids enough times that I suppose I should try.
I’m rather sure on what is wrong, though. It seems like others are much more bothered by things than I am. Death, destruction, betrayal, all of it should be expected. That is just human nature. To put oneself first. I don’t understand why it’s so… upsetting to most.
I do my best to account for it but it is exhausting. To be a ‘good’ man. To learn to be a ‘good’ king. I keep my people happy because, well, there are more of them than there are of me. I need them to love me to keep power, so, It’s simply logical. It’s purely selfish.
I would feel guilt, but, I don’t. Why be guilty for the truth? Why be guilty for genuinely improving the lives of my people? It’s just so hollow in the end. All of it.
That tis fair, most people don’t go into therapy knowing that it will work. I mean you just saw me with the Baron, which mind you is maybe a small break in the process but uhhh you know. But he hired me for his staff, and even told me on my first day, he would only ever come by my office to say hi and see how I was transitioning to a sedentary job/lifestyle.
I understand actually. My outlook on life is different from most and I try to remind myself patients that while I am here to serve them first and foremost we’re all part of a bigger picture. I digress, such nature is common for most patients to assume the role of “main character,” however.
Perhaps it is selfish, but outwardly it doth appear noble. And perhaps that is the goal as well, is for it to seem noble. But learning, self informing, and improvement are not small feats.
Perhaps. Do you fully believe there is no greater purpose in improving, even if it’s for the greater good?
