"The only thing broken is your attitude. Take your life into your own hands. Everyone's from a broken home and everyone has had a tough life. Rise up." He slugs him in the shoulder again.
He yelps and looks scared again. He stumbles back inhaling sharply. He crosses his arms, his whale tattoo barely peeking out from over them "Well, Prince. Whatcha going to do now?"

Whatcha going to do now?"Tears start to fall. "I-It's not fair... It's not fair...." He sobs. "I didn't want this...! I didn't want this!!" Lan runs up and starts (weakly) hitting Bran's arms, crying and cursing her father.

Prince, life's not fair - but you have a fighting spirit - don't cry."

"I... I can't..." He pulls away, wiping the tears. "This was a bad idea... I thought you would be understanding that I.. I'm weak... Thought you at least... Be kind enough to help me slowly..."

"I'll help best I can, Prince. But you have to want to help yourself. Where I'm from you die or you live. There's no middle ground, and people can't afford to wait for you to decide to live."

"I want to live!! I just don't know how..." He shudders, wanting to cry more but tries to stop.

"I want to live!! I just don't know how..." He shudders, wanting to cry more but tries to stop. "Shite." He says, shaking his head and going up to put an arm around Lan's shoulder. "For starters you should stop being so confusing. I don't know what's bugging you, but you kind of go off on people. What do you like to do for fun, Lan?"

He goes stiff and turns red, the sobs stopping. "I-I-I... R-Reading... And... Um... Private stuff..."

People are what make life worth living. All the family pressure, all the school pressure, everything. It doesn't matter unless there are people you love, ka? Otherwise you just go through life like a corpse or one of those imperials - so miserable they have to inflict it out on everyone else."

And he's better than the other ones!"

You get what I'm saying though right?"

"I... I guess...? I don't know how to handle people of my own age..." He fiddles with his hands. "I... I don't know how to handle being a prince either. So many responsibilities just thrown at me all at once. I have so much to do... And all eyes are on me because of the lack of respect my father has. People see me already as a mess up and with my attitude... It's not helping my image... I tried to smile and say little but I just can't seem to keep my mouth shut. I criticize others when I'm the one needing fixing. Fix what exactly? Don't know... I really have no clear idea what I truly need to do other than what my father wants me to do. Have I done that? No. I'm failing to do so... They only thing I've done is screw around. I'm not special like my father has claimed me to be... I never thought to be special anyway... Not how he treated-" He suddenly stops and grows quiet.

You think people just come into the world knowing how to be a good Prince and how to make friends? No one's that perfect, so stop beating yourself up."
