Sidon: *smile widens* Thank you, Darnell. It means a lot to hear you say that.

Darnell: *grins* You've always been good to me, and you're good for all of your people. They deserve to know that, and I'm honored to be close enough to you to tell them whenever I can.

Sidon: *His shields are down and so he's highly emotional. Tears touch his eyes and he gives Darnell's shoulder a squeeze* Thank you. I try to be, but it's good to hear.

Darnell: *hesitates an instant, then will pull Sidon into another /hug/ - the man has the weight of the world, or at least the kingdom, on his shoulders every single day, and now he's slowly dying of something no one can even explain to him, let alone treat or cure . . . he /has/ to be scared* You're a /good/ man, Sidon. Don't ever think otherwise or listen to anyone who doesn't know you.

Sidon: *HUGS* Thank you.  I don't know if you realize how much a leader needs to hear such things from people who are truly sincere about it.

Darnell: *HUGS tightly, then will shift back enough to face him* I'll be honest, I've not thought about that until just now, but I can believe it. And will certainly keep in mind. Please know that I will /never/ tell you anything insincere. *there's a visible pause in his eyes as something crosses his mind, and then he's got that crooked grin on again* Unless you marry Riju or anyone else and ever ask me if I think your wife is gaining weight, /then/ I'll consider saying something insincere depending on my opinion. *yes, he's saying that to get a laugh from Sidon, poor guy could use it*

Sidon: *it works, even if the laugh degrades into a coughing fit* R-remind me to never ask you if my future wife seems to be gaining weight.

Zerik: *little grin* Only if she’ll tolerate it. /If/ something happens to you Lopen or Shen could being her back here. But let’s not let anything happen to you.
