Pink walls surrounded Player as they walked closer to the throne. They shivered from the slight temperature drop, wrapping their jacket tighter around themselves. They didn't mind the cold much though, as they eventually ended up getting used to it. What they truly couldn't handle was the heat in the desert. They were actually glad they finally got to a more chill place once again.
As they aproached the throne,where none other than the king of Blackrock was sat,they offered him a friendly smile,waving.
Cruel King couldn't help but return the smile, seeing Player so at least seemingly happy truly brought him joy. Looking at them, the king had assumed the Player wanted some extra training. After all,while the player was talented when it came to handling a sword, they could work on their dodging skills.
"You've returned.
I see that you desire more training.
Well, by the power of BLACKROCK
I shall-"
The king has paused once he saw the Player taking their bag, opening it to reveal quite a few kandi sets they have bought, taking them out and putting them down on the ground in front of the king,before gesturing for him to join them.
The king was slighty surprised,yet amused. He has never seen them act like this before.
Either way, he slowly stood up from his throne,before walking over to the player, he hestitated for a moment before sitting down next to them.
The Player carefully put the sets on the ground, opening one of them and taking out the beads and a string. The Cruel King watched them,his eyes scanning the colorful beads.
"Child...what is this?"
The king tilted his head to the side slightly, not taking his eyes off of the beads and strings.
The player briefly explained the situation to the king,as they were alredy placing some beads on the string. Cruel King listened, he could tell this was something they were passionate about. It actually brought joy to him knowing they were still in there- the fact they knew they had a life outside of their quest for the swords, the fact they actually had a hobby and something they took interest in.Something to do in their free time.
A minute or two have passed, before the Player held out their hand to Cruel King. In their palm was placed a bracelet that the Player made using some red, white but mostly blue kandi beads, as well as two small crowns and a heart charm.In the middle were threaded white cubes spelling his name.
The king observed the bracelet for a few seconds.
"Is that for me?"
The Player noded eagerly, almost as if they couldn't wait for the king to try it on.
Cruel King carefuly took the bracelet and put it on his wrist. It was the perfect size and actually went great with his outfit.
The king smiled warmly at the Player.
"This looks lovely...thank you."
The player returned the smile, feeling proud of themselves know that they knew that the king was happy with his present.
The player then offered the set to Cruel King, encouraging him to make one. Cruel King thought about a second or two,eventualy deciding to try it out. It's not like he has any duties anymore, some crafts wouldn't hurt. Also making these seems easy enough, right?
It's been a minute. Or maybe 10 minutes. Or 30.Heck maybe even an hour, but none of the two payed mind to the time.
The king was way too caught up in making even more bracelets, while Player, who was more experienced, began making other things like hearts, stars, cufs and even a tie.
Cruel King actually found this activity to be quite relaxing. Plus,when was the last time he's done something like this?No, HAS he ever done something like this before? If he had, he can't remember, that's for sure.
After some time, Player eventually had to leave, thought they promised they would return soon, and they could do this again. The Cruel King thanked the Player for their time, and for helping him relax a bit.
He could definitely get used to this.
