I'll work on it. When people's lives are in the mix, it's just hard not to feel really strongly, at least for me... Life's a precious thing. I know that better than anyone.
[ there's a beat, and Fiora shakes her head. ]
Oh, but I didn't come here to talk about all the heavy stuff! I think we've all had enough of it... I just wanted to chat with you. [ she's said it before, but it's nice to feel normal, talking with him. ] I'm glad you're okay, Won. And that we're both alive. Did you remember everything, too?
[soo-won tilts his head at that and listens - though she changes the topic quickly enough. there's just a bit of a laugh at that.]
Ah, yes, I do. Though it occurs to me that I should probably admit something to you, now that it's the end.
Won is largely a cover for when I go out into the kingdom without intending to be recognized or to conduct any official business. You were correct that I do possess a certain rank.
My name is Soo-won, and I am king of the country of Kouka.
[ here's where Fiora would do a spittake if she was drinking anything. As things stand, she just looks shocked. Yes, she'd had a feeling he was a little fancier than he let on, but not that noble. ]
Wow... That's amazing. I had a feeling you weren't just a regular merchant, but I had no idea you were that out of the ordinary. No wonder you're so mature.
[ a bit of wonderment - but once the surprise settles, she just smiles again, the way she usually does. evidently, she doesn't plan on changing the way she treats him. ]
So would you rather have me call you Soo-won, then?

Y-you're a king? But you're my age!
[ is she friends with two monarchs now?! ]
no subject
Yes, I'm rather young, even as kings go.

I'm just a person who does accomplishes what's necessary. You're free to call me whichever, I'll clearly answer to both and I'm familiar with both.
I just thought that by the end there's no real need for pretenses.
