second oath ≈

[Frog looks somewhat distant, perturbed, and downright depressed for a frog. If that's possible. There are a few dents in his armor and his long green cape is torn up a bit, but his wounds have long since been healed. His broadsword leans against the bar counter next to him, where he has been steadily drinking for a couple of hours.

He's starting to look like a regular already.]

Ohhh... my queen... forgive me...

You have been discharged...?

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

I left of my own accord, after bringing such disaster to the castle I served...

[He sighs and rests his head on the counter, looking for all the world like a dead frog.]

Forgive my impudence, but... is it not a servant's place to remain, despite whatever calamity may occur?

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

I brought that calamity upon the kingdom. I failed. Therefore...

Therefore...

I truly am a monster...

[Have a sad/knowing smile] We are only so much of a monster as those we serve. If we truly desire their happiness, as ourselves, we do not matter.

[Wow, Len, you're sorta creepy. Not that Frog realizes this or cares.]

If the Queen desires my presence, I could not deny her, but I cannot look her in the face until I am capable of aiding her truly. I do not have the right.

[XD This is what comes of being from a really messed up series of songs/videos.]

There is nothing preventing you from aiding her in the manner best suited to yourself, sir. Surely she would be happy knowing you work toward her future even now.

[ROFL. Indeed.]

... Perhaps. But I cannot know for sure. The royal family has yet to send a summons.

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

To be a servant is to act always for the best interests of one's ruler... is that not so?

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

... It is so. I thought it was in her best interest if I left the kingdom...

Is that so selfish? [/ale]
