The list is as follows; King John King John's coin

I'll get my ears boxed for simply being here, might as well get a dig in first.

Here he is; mother's 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘧𝘶𝘭 lapdog, come to bite my ankles.

Ugh, merde... Well, two's company.

This reigning business is easy, look out for Number One. The trouble is everyone else.

Sighs wistfully. Wouldn't that be lovely?

In return, John purposefully doesn't give him permission to rise. Get a good, looooong look at those ankles. When he speaks, John audibly rolls his eyes. "What do you want, Marshal? Has 𝘮𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯 sent you to spy?"

Perfectly illustrating the point that HE is not the problem, it's everyone else who thinks they can tell him how to behave.

John tuts sardonically. "She's getting lax in her dotage. She ought to tighten your apron strings." He pauses, savouring the thought that his back must be aching by now, then finally lazily gestures for him to rise. "Hadn't you better seek it outdoors, then? Far away, ideally."

A dream is all it is, tragically. ...Do you ever wish we had no other brothers, that it was just us two? There'd be a lot less strife in our lives, were that the case.

Sounds like a euphemism.

Lets out a loud, brash laugh. Ha, the look on your face!

Don't let Dad find out.

Unless they're trending because they've all been executed or exiled, I'm not interested.

Ex henchmen, clearly they failed 😤

I should have asked Gisburne, he might have succeeded.

Mm...now that would be a terrible waste.

As he ought to be. Compliments from King John are as rare as loyal men like himself.

Mm. Tell no-one. 🤫
