ONCE YOU COMMITTED ME
Another day, another patrol. Aegon was starting to get sick of the routine, but he kept at it every day, hoping of something new to come forth. Eventually, something always did. Someone or something came with time. Today, thankfully, kept him on his toes. As the horseman surveyed the sandy border, the lion paws dragged loosely on the ground until his light yellow optics caught on a stranger. They appeared to be waiting. Perhaps a joiner? An advisor? An enemy? Maybe spirit? He couldn't quite tell. Maybe it would be something exciting.
The desire for the unexpected drove him forward. Trudging forward, he eventually stopped. The lion looked the other up and down with an expectant gaze, but found no word to come from them. Instead, Aegon made the first move. "I expect you're here for a reason," he drawled. "So say it." Or, just as he liked it, let him pick it apart slowly. Let him chase the answer for infinity... Even so, that wouldn't happen. Mortals only had so much time. It was precious. With that in mind, he expected nothing more than a straightforward answer. He still had wishes though.

NOW YOU'VE ACQUITTED ME
