Nobody has control of the oceans where I'm from. That's why there's so many pirates.

[ He shrugs. ]

No, he was a young man when he did all that. I never knew my father at all.

[namisan]

[Well, 'controlling' the oceans isn't what she'd say. There are thousands of pirates on the seas. But she lets that die, given what he follows up with.]

...at all? I'm sorry.

[theirinurpants]

[ Alistair shrugs a little. ]

Difficult to miss what you never had in the first place. He never wanted me and never acknowledged me, and he disappeared when I was quite young, anyway.

[namisan]

...what happened to the throne in the meantime?

[theirinurpants]

My half-brother became king, once everyone realized Maric wasn't coming back.

[namisan]

So how did you become King?

[Because the inference she's getting is Alistair was nowhere near the place.]

[theirinurpants]

He died? That's usually what happens.

[namisan]

[That's not what she meant, but--

Well.]

...I'm probably asking too many questions. I can stop.

[theirinurpants]

No, you're not. It's just common knowledge where I come from. Cailan was betrayed by his general, killed in battle, and the country almost ended up in a civil war.

The - a friend of mine, managed to stop him, and then they made me king.

[namisan]

I hope the general got what was coming to him.
