[color=f26522]"I think you and I both know, father that I would already be awake for an important day such as this..."[/color] Alistair spoke from down the hall a little annoyed as he approached, his voice carrying itself via an echo, fully dressed and already in his proper armor, to look both respectful and prepared, whilst he slowly rubbed a hand against his ears as if to say his father was "Too loud" though, he only meant this in jest.

Alistair stopped a meter away from his father and bowed, walking alongside him down the hallways of their kingdoms castle, his arms rested behind his waist formally, looking at the walls around them, a look of concern on his face. Not looking at him, Alistair addressed his father.

[color=f26522]"It didn't take much of a glimpse into your eyes to see your troubled soul, father... The nightmares again... Correct?"[/color]

Alistair wasn't going to wait for confirmation, he's known his father since he was a child, and with being both wise and more intelligent for his age, things such as emotions were an easy thing for him to see, fake or otherwise. 

[color=f26522]"That makes six... you shouldn't let the thoughts of chaos sap at your mind, father... Mother needs you... your kingdom needs you... Just as I need you."[/color] Alistair expressed with a light smile, though his smile eventually dropped, having to bring up the topic of the day.

[color=f26522]"Though i'm not for one fleeting moment insinuating we put your fears to the chopping block, after all, it pays to be cautious... Though I understand that we should save talks about our kingdom for the actual meeting, it may not sound like it, but even I dread those meetings... But before we can enter that chamber, as a suggestion I would ask of you to indulge on some tea with Lady Mother, a peaceful heart and a calm mind can win many battles."[/color] Alistair spoke, clearly wanting the best for his King and Father, so that he could at least speak with some clarity come the meeting and so his own sanity would be stable.
