      -- and as low as he was feeling, he still reached up towards that hand and smacked it away. His head was near cradled in the crook of his other arm, resting upon the table to where he could fixate on it’s detailing and soak in the atmosphere.

                “Here’s the deal here in a nutshell since ya seem to be wantin’ to know so badly. So I’m pretty certain my Mother didn’t wanna child at all. We haven’t exactly talked in years, not since my Father went ‘an kicked the bucket playin’ hero. She likes sendin’ me these lil’ notes with the Maids though, like ha ha no big fuckin deal! I didn’t wanna see her face anyways --”

      A low hissing breath. The small bit of alcohol remaining in his cup tilted over to no little satisfaction. An illogical response by someone out of it enough to just not care if the table gets stained a little.

                “The thought of other relatives is kinda pointless too (if I never met any).”

      His arms pushed against the table, pulling himself somewhat into an upright position, but his hair still hung in front of his face in strange positions and his first instincts weren’t in correction. 

                “Yeah, it’d be nice to think otherwise, but these things ain’t helpin’ themselves. Thanks for the thought, but it’s pretty false as far as I’m concerned. Let’s not let this escalate into a pity party on my watch.”

And almost instantly, he was no longer interested in the proposal. After the previous conflicts had between their nations, it was nearly unthinkable to form any sort of agreement with them. Whether it be at a civil meeting like this or not.

But he had to admit, it really couldn’t be helped. The fact that their territories were in such a violent and resistant state meant that no amount of patience would quell the chaos, and that a higher intervention was needed. Thus, this sort of solution seemed the most sensible–it was both immediate and would likely be the most effective approach.

                                                                                                    – - “… I’m listening.”

Which was a lot for the prince to say, because under any other circumstances, it would be unheard of. How long had the two of them been at odds before this moment anyway?

         “But how exactly do you propose we increase tourism in such a short period           of time? If the idea is to increase the interaction between our countries, we need           to figure out a way to promote each other’s territories. The transition between           chaos and peace is far too abrupt if we simply announce a truce.”

Which meant that the best approach would either be a slower one or one with more meaning behind it.

         “In order to make this plan work, then, we need to announce the reasons behind it           as well. We should organize a messenger team as soon as possible to get the           word out, of course, but we need a convincing argument to get the citizens on           each respective side to relinquish the negativity between each other. And merely           speaking of political problems won’t do that–we need a finite reason that will hold           regardless of our differences.”

                “I’m expecting this to take years.”

      If the only methods are in profiteering, then let it be so. They weren’t the only countries to exist. If an easy fix were to be found, he would gladly get down upon his knees -- short of surrender, which was no idea at all.

                “-- Speaking in terms of long term goals.”

      Of course, he was more than willing to agree to his enemy’s points. As infuriating at admitting that each of them were. 

                “It should also be as public of an event as possible; assuming we settle on the arrangements for this treaty with mediation. Such as trade barriers. One, we seek to live in peace; two, the protection of basic human rights towards nation and peoples; and three, mutual respect. Starting from the basics and working from there --”

      His side’s draft was already crafted, but he didn’t think it would be need said out loud. The implications were clear.

                “As this is a first for either of our sides, I can at least assure the possibility of border demilitarization in these discussions.”

Imagine you oc drunk and what type they are
