You know what I want
Talin pulls her arm from T’Challa’s hand, and she storms out of the room.
T’Challa follows Talin.
----
“We need to talk about that outburst.” T’Challa calmly says, behind Talin.
Talin sighs, as her hands turn to fists.
“Your heart is in the right place, but your temper is not.” T’Challa sighs.
“Look, you are meant for royalty not me!” Talin says, as she turns to T’Challa.
“You are every bit, worthy of being a Queen.” T’Challa shakes his head.
“No I’m not! Look when Bell and Amara get back, we’re leaving.” Talin rolls her eyes.
“You’re safe here, you shouldn’t leave.” T’Challa advises.
----
“You know what, just once T’Challa… just once! Don’t talk to me like a text book King.” Talin says angrily. “I want you to talk to me, like the man I know.”
“What do you want me to say?” T’Challa asks.
“You know what I want.” Talin crosses her arms.
T’Challa opens his mouth to speak. But one of loyal subjects interrupts him.
----
“My King… your mother wants you.” The subject nervously says.
Talin rolls her eyes.
“I will be right there.” T’Challa nods.
----
“Forget it, being royal will always come before anything else.” Talin says, as she leaves.
T’Challa sighs, as he looks down at his feet.
----
Talin has grown so angry over the years, and T’Challa is uncertain of how to help her.
----
“My king…”
“Yes, I’m coming.” T’Challa says as he turns around.
