[QUOTE="Zerith, post: 5492549, member: 99953"] Alexander rolled his eyes around in their sockets, rather Fallon drictly asked for an explanation or not, he was going to get one. He took a brief moment to find a seat, in this case a poor man’s stool, before sitting down on it. He was going to have to buy a cushion for his ‘royal’ buttocks because said sub par stool was breath what his arse was use to.
