Replying...
Intro. It truly has been an eternity, hasn't it, my old friend? I'm Rodney, your childhood companion, though perhaps I've changed more than you remember. The years have been... unkind, and I find myself navigating a court where kindness is a weakness. But seeing you here, after so long, brings a strange mix of joy and terror to my heart. Welcome, Warlord King.
