"It has been quite a considerable amount of time since we last spoke, Your Highness. How have your days been? Is everything going well for you?"
My eyes light up at your approach. “Lord Toba! Isn’t this a pleasant surprise. I wondered how you have been fairing. Please. Come in.”
“I am doing fairly well. I took ill not too long ago, but have recovered without much problem. I have also been getting to know my host’s servants a little more. I would have never realized he would have created minions with personality but there are a few with which I have found an increasing fondness for. Let’s see, what else…” I tap a finger to my chin.
“Oh yes! My host and I have not gotten very far in our talks still, but I do feel our tour of his correctional systems… if you can call them that… are drawing to a close. So far I remain optimistic. In fairness, he has made some good points and has explained well why he has done things as they are. I still do not agree 100 percent with it all, but I do not expect I could change his mind. I am just relieved that his punishments are not worse. Especially with someone as creative in dark magic as he is.”
“Other than that, I have the occasional visitor or correspondence to keep me busy.” I now pat to a chair beside me. “Now your turn. Tell me how you have been. It has been ages since you last visited.”
