Severus smiled a bit, though it would be hard to tell. Maybe all hope wasn't lost? He seemed to be recovering himself slightly. Now the trick wasn't to blow it. At least the Queen noticed the determination to continue despite the fact that the chips were down considerably. He bowed his head a bit, spider-like hands coming together so that each fingertip could touch the coresponding fingertip on the other hand, before returning them back to normal. The gesture was slightly weird, to be sure, though it was mostly a subconscious gesture of thinking. "As I understand it, becoming panicy in the face of it doesn't do much but increase it's size. The very least I could do is keep cool." he said it in much away that would come to the closest thank you the Queen would get for such a compliment. It was a bit of one after all. Severus was not above a thank you, but at the moment he didn't feel it would do anything but sound like he was groveling...which was not something he wanted to do at the present....maybe later...once he had received the title as well...but maybe not. It depended on how he felt it would go over...
"It is understandible, I suppose I have not sufficently proven my worth." He noded a bit as the Queen spoke of his headaches. To have headaches...even...'sometimes' was a bit alarming, and the way he paused made him feel he had caught on to something. With the way the Queen raged so often...and from the way he was choosing to interperate the sentence...he could guess that these 'sometimes' headaches were probably more serious then the Queen was letting on. Possibly Migranes. Hmm...yes...that would explain quite a great deal. "I do not mean to be so...intrusive about the subject, your Majesty, but...have you given up on treatment for these headaches...or has there just not been one found?"

Fino absently dipped one finger in his warm-to-hot tea, swirling it around idly. In reality it almost felt burningly hot against his skin, but he knew it wasn't a harmful temperature and it served to distract him quite nicely from the headache that was even now slowly clamping around his head like a miniature vice. It wasn't enough to warn him of an impending migraine, but it would probably be a days-long pressure. Ugh.
"Your worth to this Court is not doubted, Severus. My uncle has reported that you have been an apt pupil and adept apprentice on several occasions. It is your unique worth to me that I am questioning. If, however, you are implying that you would be interested in turning your magical abilities towards a cessation of pain from the slight inconvenience of my occasional headaches, it would be an entirely different story. An entirely different story. The subject is one that Bernard has already looked into, so you would certainly have research to start with. Is this the case?"
He paused, finger raising and dripping lightly with tea until he moved it towards the biped and concentrated. This would only make his headache worse, but perhaps it would show the man that he was serious in his interest without outright shouting it. He would reward success in this endeavor. A red 'K' blazed over the other man's breast, proof of his new rank. Now all he needed was to earn his title.

[OOC: First of all, I want to appologize for being horrible about replying to this >.>; Between School and Muse...well...I'm sure you know how it goes ^^;. But Um...I figure...we could probably wrap this up in the next two or so posts, unless you have something special in mind in particular >.>; seeing as...um...*cough*...well...I think we all know what happens a little while after this rp XD;...so...yeah  ;] Severus thought for a moment before replying. "I am a naturally curious individual, Your Majesty. I am curious about the things around me and my own abilities and skills. I can't say that I would not be interested in solving a problem, be it something small, something big, or even something such as a suffering individual. I would consider it an honor to work on such a cessation. Who knows...in the end...it could probably help alot of people...with such issues." Suddenly, the Queen was moving towards him, and his ears shot upwards in alarm, unsure of what to make of the gesture until the man touched his chest with a finger just where his Jack marking was, through his rather chast clothing, a glowing red K appeared and disappeared. He knew then that the Queen had really just given him his new rank. He was happier then he could explain in expressions or words. He simply looked up at the Queen, "It has been one of my ambitious goals to one day be known as one of your Kings since I first came here, Your Majesty. There is very little I would not do for the title, if anything. And I would be loyal." he said in a moment of complete honesty. |

Fino sat back in his chair and watched the man's expression change when he realized that his rank had just been raised. It was a subtle change, since Severus was never one to show great emotion, but he could see something. Similarly, that same something came through in his voice and he considered the man's words.
Loyalty was a must with him, especially after learning the lesson of his mother's death. He could be a very paranoid person at times, some of it for a very good reason. Having a King who had been with the Court since his youth and who his uncle approved of could benefit him in several ways, even if the man was having difficulty in actually impressing him. The fact that he would be willing to search for a cure with regards to his headaches was a large point in his favor, however.
His headache was indeed getting worse from that brief use of non-innate magic, the kind his head objected to quite strongly, as if pushing him in the direction of a choice. "Very well. On the condition that your research takes a turn in this direction, and that you are loyal, I will agree to take you on as my King."
((Yeeeah... one more post from you should conclude this. *nods*))

Severus blunk once or twice. Moments ago, he had been so sure that he had screwed up his chances, but had the Queen actually said what he had thought? Already many things he had decided about the man were being revised. He stood to bow to the Queen. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will begin right away. I give you my word that I will find some sort of cure."With a couple more words between them, they went their seperate ways, with a bit of a spring in Severus' step when he was out of sight of everyone. He had made a very big promise to the Queen, but to say that he didn't believe that he could find something to help, would have been a lie. The process would take quite a while, of this he was sure, but he would not stop until he had proven his word to the Queen. [OOC: I hope that was good enough as an ending ; Kinda short...but...I'm getting a little tired XD; and I really wanted to try to end this ASAP since it's been taking so long ^^; Good enough to call it closed and completed? I'm happy to add more/change something Xd;] |
