[ how was... Rupert conceived... ]

So you must not miss him much.

[agleam]

[stop he said after he was born]

Yeah, somehow the whole attempted forced death match thing at our first meeting didn't really make me very fond of him. Imagine that.

[shaft]

[ that gets him to laugh ]

Yeah, fathers can be pretty terrible. So you're ruling your kingdoms together now?

[agleam]

Yeah.

[...]

Well, no. Uh, more stuff happened since then, but - that's the plan, once we get everything figured out.

[shaft]

So who's ruling the kingdom's now...?

[agleam]

[another awkward pause.]

Well, the thing about that is that there's, uh, no kingdom to rule anymore. Long story.

[shaft]

[ stares at rupert like

girl help ]

[agleam]

...Long story.

[he repeats, as though that clears anything up at all]

[shaft]

[ he grabs Rupert's shoulder ]

We need to sit down for drinks sometime.

[agleam]

[nods slowly]

Sure, yeah. Any time.
