Have you met my wife yet?

[ This is an attempt at damage control, which will probably backfire. ]

[realists]

I haven't met anyone introducing themselves as "I'm Eugenides' wife", no.

[ has she met his wife? absolutely. ]

[kleptocratic]

She wouldn't use her given name.

[realists]

Are you afraid of us having met?

[kleptocratic]

No. She makes a better impression than I do.

[realists]

Better than stealing something for me? That's a high bar.

[kleptocratic]

Most people don't have taste and don't appreciate thieves.

Have you met her?

[realists]

I have.

She's pretty.

[kleptocratic]

She is.

I don't think she likes what they've done to her hair.

[realists]

The key is to die first. Takes more time to recover so we're held hostage longer. My hair's almost back to how long it originally was.

[kleptocratic]

I don't think that would work. The succession would be a nightmare.

[realists]

Right I forgot you're a fancy prick.

[kleptocratic]

Very.

Did she want to be called Attolia?

[realists]

She did. Also said you can negotiate on her behalf so you owe me credits for the knife I found her.

[ :) ]

[kleptocratic]

Did she say anything else about me?

How much do you want?

[realists]

500 credits.

She said she probably had a lot to apologize for on your behalf. I let her.

[kleptocratic]

But you're still charging me 500 credits for a knife.

[ It had better be a nice knife. ]

She wants to be called Attolia because it is traditional to refer to the sovereign to take the name of their country as their own, as a reminder of one's duty to the state.

[realists]

You're married to the Queen of Attolia, you should be able to afford 500 credits.

[ she's not going to charge him 500 credits. ]

[kleptocratic]

The Queen of Attolia should be able to buy her own knives.

[realists]

You're lucky I haven't changed my mind.

[kleptocratic]

Did you already give her the knife?

[realists]

It's not finished.

You didn't tell me you were royalty.

[kleptocratic]

Actually, I just did.

[realists]

You haven't told me shit, I followed context clues.

[kleptocratic]

Marrying the queen makes you the king. I didn't really think it out.
