King Slime was successful in hiding how uncomfortable he felt. Sweat ran down his forehead and neck. It collected in a pool on his back in the creases of all four of his legs. Every now and then, he brushed it off and shook himself as dry as he could. Despite all of this, he kept up his royal appearance and was not short with anyone.
He was walking through the glades. He was planning to get a cool drink from the river, since the winter snow had finally melted.
"Honored servants, Sir Skull Rabbit and Lady Spider's Silk, may you please fan us? We would be forever in your debt if you would do this small act of merciful charity." He was referring to the two other gladiers who walked to the left and right of him.
They mumbled to eachother.
"I was under the impression that we would be doing something fun today. Following this fatty around and doing everything he says isn't.""Shhh! I'm doing research." While still looking forward, Skull Rabbit's eyes went to the right, so he could see Spider's Silk better.
"sides, who else can we get to call us nice names like 'Sir' and 'Lady'.""I'll call you whatever you like, boss man, even your majesty or your highness."After this exchange, they grabbed two big leaves and fanned King Slime as the three of them walked to the river.
When they got to the river, the three of them parted ways. King Slime was by himself now. The first thing he did there was admire his reflection in the water.
"We are looking most handsome today." Then, he took a drink of ice cold water.
"Ah, it is too bad we do not have sugar and lemons. Then, we could make lemonade for all of you."
