the selection ♔ | ♔ semi-advanced discussion
~When you walk in the first thing you notice is the large bed in the middle of the room, it has a navy blue comforter with black sheets, they match with the drapes since it's a canopy bed, they are an off-navy blue color as well. Man this dude must really love navy blue, huh?~
~The walls are a dark grey and the floors are a dark hardwood, near the wall across from the bed there is a little dark oak table with matching chairs, the table has a chess set on it, the pieces are place perfectly.~
~On the other side of this seemingly, large room, we have another dark oak table, but it's a desk, with an office chair pushed into it. The desk has papers on papers, books on books piled on top of each other, though it looks oddly organized.~
~There are two doors other than the door that leads outside, into the hall. One door leads into a closet filled with formal clothes, neatly organized, and the other door leads to a bathroom, it was nice, and clean.~
((If anything needs to be changed, let me know and I'll change it))
Casbian woke up a bit earlier than the other royals. Not that he could get sleep considering the anxiety the selection brought to him, he swiftly got up out of bed, now approaching the bathroom. He began his morning routine. After a few minutes of brushing his teeth and washing his face, it was time to decide what to wear today. It was quite easy, it was a nice tailored outfit, perfect for him.
He decided that his morning routine was over, and that he should head to where the selection starts. He walked out of him luxurious room, closing the door behind him
Casbian and John made their way into his room, Casbian gave out a hefty sigh, looking over to John.
"I should have done it differently." He facepalmed, walking over to his bed, sitting on it.
John sat down on a chair and smiled "well it happened, its not like your gonna have to marry one of those girls, oh wait you do" he tried to joke around before looking up at the prince and smiled "worst comes to worst they fall for cal over you" John acted a lot more casual around Casbian when it was just them
"Cal can have them." He states, laying back on his bed, rolling around. "I just want to go somewhere..." He paused "That is not here." That was his dream ever since he was younger, thats exactly how John and Casbian met as well.
"yeah well sorry but no, also cal cant cuz they are your selected" he looks at him and reaches to the roof and disables the smoke alarm "mind if i light one, its been a long day" he pulls out a cigarette and offers the prince one
He now looks at John as his head was hanging off the bed, now seeing everything upside down.
He furrows his brows at the offer. "Not really. and thanks for the offer but no." He states before taking a moment. "Maybe I could just disappear..." He looks at the window, he was considering running away again, it was a long shot, it's been around 3-4 years since he last tried (and failed), but maybe, just maybe it would work.
"i hate saying this but, you cant" he took a deep breathe and put away the packet and sat down leaning on the wall next to him "you understand being the crown prince means you cant just leave, people need you and you may say Cal can just take over but no the king will search for you and he will find you" he sighed and looked around the room "plus i would have to help find you and that would be easy"
His face turned with expected bitter-disappointment. "Cal does seem like a better fit for king, than me." He took a second to think "There should be a selection for who becomes king." He states, now he's just rambling.
He brings his hands up to his face, rubbing it. He got a headache, from both the conversation and being upside down. He sat up. "The king is cruelll." He complains "Am I really related to him? I'm not as mean, or cruel as him." He smirks "What if I'm not really his son." He spouted non-sense.
It's obvious how comfortable they are with each other
John looked at him dead in the eye "i dunno, you seem like you could do it " he then walks over the the side and grabs some water for the prince "just dont run off, and if you do leave a note" john then gets up and sits down in a chair and pulls out a flask and slowly sips it but then stops when he says if hes not his son
He watches John react.
"Hm?" He hums in question, still smirking. "I'm sure if I'll leave a note, they'll find out where I would have been heading to." He goes off, rambling again.
"thats exactly why i want you to do it" he sits there reading and puts his flask on the table "well kid what should we do about you huh, just gonna hang here till someone comes round"
"Guess so."
"Most of the selected don't really want to be here. The king should consider sending them home and try again another day." He joked
"like you weren't totally liking those girls earlier" he laughed and continued to read
"She was crying, I couldn't leave her crying in the palace, especially when it's my fault." He glared, but it wasn't mean't to threaten him. "I was being nice. Unlike the king" He brings up another difference between him and the king, trying to convince himself that he isn't who is father is.
"yeah she was crying, so you left 2 girls, didnt go back to them then went and got cake" John smirked and looked at him "and you said you were being nice" he said with a sarcastic tone
"I-..!" He had no response "I'll apologize..." He felt a tad bit of guilt. "Maybe I should apologize by offering cake..." He spaced out, he just really want some more sweets. Not that he didn't have any under his bed, or on the shelfs in the closet.
John pulled out some mints and chucked him the packet "have one itll help calm you down, and don't offer them cake, your always doing that, maybe try just apologising after all you are the crowned prince they shouldn't question you" he sat there and waiting for the mints back
He took one, then threw it back. "That's more of a reason to question it!" He sounded like a distressed adult. He tossed the mint into his mouth. His bed now it was untidy, he stood up. Going over to sit at the chess table, he started to mess with the pieces.
(hahaha XD) John looked at him and smirked "you look like a 6 year old right now" he chuckles and pops a mint before sighing and leaning on the window "you should also sleep more, i saw how restless you were"
"It's 19, not 6." He corrected him
"Sleep?" He paused "Talk for yourself." He smirked continuing to play with the pieces
(i am A ok with a join in like just walk in or knock or something)John shrugs it off and lights a cigarette trying to keep the smoke out "yeah yeah sleep and all is hard when you play violin all night" he smirked and continued to smoke
He straighten his posture to turn to him "I do not play that loudly!" He glanced over to his closet door, he kept his violin in the closet.
"And even if I did." He pauses to take a breath. "A baby could sleep soundly to it!" That statement was quite true. He was quite good at it.
"don't you dare start playing that" John preferred electronic music but wasn't allowed to listen in public "now what about we have a talk on how how you need to wake up and get a move on with your shit, you need to be more confident" he looked out the window breathing out smoke
Casbian rolled his eyes, "There isn't any need for that." he turned his attention back to the chess board. He took the king piece and purposefully knocked down the other pieces.
(i belive you can play them even if they are not, not too sure tho)
John smiles and continues to smoke as he was writing stuff in his book
Casbian, bored as all can be, endlessly picks up and knocks down the chess pieces, somehow this entertained him? He debated on playing the violin.
"hey kid" john looks over and smiles "wanna go for a walk" he smiles
He stands up, finally something that was interesting "Yea!" He states with excitement, the sad truth about it was, he was never this comfortable with anyone expect for John (I'm sure I've made this clear XD)
(haha head to stables i have an idea)"alright how bout you follow me" he puts on his coat and begins walking out
Casbian nods, ready to comply and follow.

If it goes down to the princes, Simon would be the next in line.
Casbian opens his door, he was quite excited as he instantly (accidently) slams the closet door open, carrying a stand with music on it. He sets the stand in the middle of the room, heading back into the closet to get the violin in it's case. He sat it on his bed, beginning to unpack it. He glanced up to John, smiling.
John walks in following the prince and he sits down on a chair and looks of a drink "hey kid you got anything nice aside from sweet drinks" he smiles and pulls out some of his sweets from a drawer
The violin was already prepared now. He held it carefully. "Hey! Put it back!" He says in a whisper-shouting voice. The door to his room was still open, he didn't pay any mind to it though. "If your so thirsty, call for a maid to request it." He stated in a mature manor as he tidies up the stand, pulling out the sheet of music that he wanted to play.
"oh boy great music time" john walked over to the window with a small packet of sweets and was chewing on them "remember people are still sleeping"
Casbian grabbed the already-rosined bow and started to tune himself, after glaring at John, though it was little to not threatening at all, cmon, were talking about John here. Once he was in-tune, he started to practice a piece he's taken an interest in for awhile. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpVEk... - Le song he played)
(haha) John sat there listening and talking to himself before sitting back and closing his eyes like he was about to sleep, he sat there listening and then after he was he felt like he was almost asleep
Casbian, himself, felt calmed and relaxed while playing, at least this is one thing he found himself loving.
Once he finished up the song, he decides to be annoying to John, he plays the highest string, the E string. It was scratchy, but not too bad because it was in-tune. (If you want I can find a video showing what the E string sounds like if you don't already know :) ))
((i have many band friends i know what it sounds like))John bolts up and draws his pistol looking around "holy shit, kid" he realises it was a joke and puts it away before sitting back down "man dont wake me up like that again jeezus"
He laughed, he wasn't too scared of John drawing his gun.
He kept playing a few song he knew off of the top of his head, like the theme from the London symphony, ode to joy, and an easy one, twinkle little star. It was just a quick refresher for him. (Lol, at school we joke around a lot about how the orchestra kids are better than the band kids, it's so mean >-<)
"maybe its time you got some sleep kid," john looked a little tired and he tried to persuade him "its late and maybe we could go see some other animals tomorrow what do ya say"
