[ Good day, residents of Discedo, Spero and Dissimulo! Today you are going to be grace with the image of a rather attractive regal figure wandering down Main street in Dissimulo with some degree of confusion. There's probably between five hundred thousand and a few million euros worth in jewels on him, not to mention the finest silks, a gorgeous hat and a bright feather adorning the side of his hat, not to mention the most ridiculous tights stretched over his legs. ]

[ Ah, yes. It's good to be the king. ]

[ But, maybe not so much in Philippe's opinion. ]

Hello? Is there anyone here? [ Spoken in fluent, albeit it 17th century accented French, it's clear the poor boy is terrified. Not a very kingly way to act indeed. The wandering figure pauses in step, glancing from side to side, then furrows his brows. ]

If there is indeed someone in this village, I would like very much to speak with him. This is the King of France, King Louis of France, and I-- [ Faltering. ] --I...

It... would be appreciated if anyone would be so kind as to speak to me now. [ With a nod, though an unsure one. ] As you should at a king's request. [ Glancing down, mumbling. ] But if you don't wish to, that is fine as well...

[ And with that, the feed cuts out. The poor boy didn't even know it was on, though. ]

[ WOW that's a long explanation. Philippe just blinks and stares back, allowing Francis to speak, nodding ever so occasionally. He didn't really understand the communicators part, but he understood that they're allowed by the church and that's all that he cares about. ]

[ He nods again at the explanation of where he is, but of course, thinks that France is mad and just smiles a little as if to punctuate that. ]

[ Regardless, he is an eager fellow, one who doesn't seem to be saying all this just to fall into the King's good graces, so he smiles truthfully, hesitating at the offer for the man to come and find him, but he figures that no madman can do him worse than what has already been done. He is already far away from home, perhaps far east of France, east of Austria even, in a land beyond what he knows, and he's just glad to be speaking to a Frenchman. ]

That would be acceptable. [ He bites back a please in that sentence. ]

Rude English citizens? But is it not the King's duty to listen to all that beg of him his attentions? If a man, any man, even an English man has something to say, he deserves to be listened to. Whether or not his advice is to be heeded is a different matter entirely, sir. [ Smiling gently now. ]

Kind monsieur Bonnefoy, I shall assure you, upon my return to France, you will be rewarded handsomely for your kindness.
