Please to be waiting for him to tag in.

A tall, good-looking man leaned against the edge of the desk in the front of the room.

"Good Morning," he said, looking over the class and finding himself vaguely disappointed when he didn't see who he was looking for. "I am Kivar of Antar. The legitimate ruler of the planet, despite the claims of those who believe otherwise."

"What questions do you have? I'm certain I have the answers."

Z raised her hand and asked, "~~Can I have your number?~~ So, why are you legit and not the other guy? And what's his, her, or its claim to the throne?"

"I hold the throne," Kivar replied smoothly. "I believe you have an expression here? About possession being the law?"

"Yes, but if you possess something and you stole it you're still a thief." A fact Z knew well. "Of course, I don't know enough about the situation to say if anyone stole anything. Which is why I'm asking for more details."

"The previous ruler was a bit of a free thinker," he said, steepling his fingers together. "He decided that change was needed. Unneccessary change at that. It set off a war that ultimately resulted in his death. Unfortunately that didn't end the war as a few misguided fanatics insist on fighting in his name in the vain hope that somehow he'll return to save them one day."

"And you would be more of a...conservative?"

"I believe in upholding tradition," Kivar replied.

"What kinds of traditions would those be?"

"That everyone has their place in society. Their own specific role to fill. Confusion in roles can cause upheavel, turmoil. It would be bad for a society," he explained.

"Are we talking about 'everybody's got something they're good at, and for some people it's burger-flippin'' or 'caste system, yay!'?" Z asked him.

"That would be a part of it," Kivar nodded. "Although if you show the right apptitude there's always room for advancement. But I was refering more to gender roles."

Z knew there was something about this guy she didn't like. "Ew, no."

Kivar smiled and shrugged. "It works for us and that is all I'm concerned with."

Man, there was nothing quite like insular aliens. "Obviously not everybody agrees with that, though, or you wouldn't have had a war," Z pointed out.

"The war began because an idiot boy decided he knew what was best," he replied, showing the slightest bit of temper. "It continues because of misguided fanatics and the interference of other planets in our system. If Zan had not been such a fool, none of this would have happened."

"But that guy was your king, so it was his job. And...you were on the other side. Which would make you the rebel here and hey what's your claim to the throne, anyway?"

"He was a foolish boy who received his title only because of the blood that ran in his veins." Kivar smiled thinly. "My queen will be of royal blood."

"That's what a king is...so you're going to marry one of his relatives even though you hate the guy? How does the Future Mrs. King Dude feel about this?"

"Vilandra loves me." ~~Even though I killed her.~~

"If you say so." ~~Girlfriend needs help.~~

"I do." Yes, he likes getting the last word.

Talk, pass notes, etc.

V-Day's over, on to Easter.
