For Sunjata, it had been the opposite. The Flood had been raised since he was a child to rule something. Granted, the goal had been to have him be as cutthroat and bloodthirsty as his father had been, a man that was so hardened that if you cut him he’d bleed iron. And to Shaju, Sunjata had always been too soft, to empathetic, too prone to impulsivity – likely because his upbringing had been excruciatingly strict. The only time it hadn’t was when he won his first trial, the celebrations lasting roughly two weeks where he was allocated freedom, before the training came back harder.
Some things he picked up, others he learned from books he shouldn’t have read. And even all of that hadn’t prepared him to be the most perfect ruler. There had been whispers in Torchline, too, about his claim on the land when he was Governor. It’s something that Sunjata believed came with the territory, at least.
“Oh, I’m ready.” Sunjata says, flashing her one of his traditionally roguish grins before it disappears behind the cup, draining the rest of the coffee with surprising ease – luckily for him it’s cooled down. “Maybe we can eat after?” A suggestion, unless she was hungry, but Sunjata could survive. And besides, he’s really looking forward to the Eye.

Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3
Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.
