Forgive me. I know that this life isn't what you planned for yourself. And though I hope no one here treats you as such, it must feel like a glass prison. I hope that you can see the beauty in this land the way I do, one day.
I don't know any other life than this one, really. I'll admit, I was taken under the wing of the court when I was young. It was the Queen who had a soft spot for me, at first. So yes, the Queen is meant for softer things, but don't let that keep your heart from staying soft beneath your armor.
You will certainly need to hear it beat.
I would be happy to stay at your side and remind you of that, when needed. If you will have me. If you will not, I suppose my time in the court would come to an end and I would find humbler work elsewhere.
[ the letter is a little distressing - picking at him for reading so many books, to questioning what he wants out of life if not for the kingdom. tim calls this place home, and maybe that's foolish. of course it is, considering. ]
I hope you are the King you wish to be. I can see the marks of it in you. And thank you - for the book. It's beautiful. Where did you come by this?
[ he wants to read more. to dive into poems and tales and stories he's only truly heard in fireside tales or over dinner in courtier's halls. ]
... all of your attendants have many positive things to say about you. I'm impressed, Master Fuller. I'll reserve my judgement then for a time when you do find my offices during your studies. Our next lesson, perhaps.
