Hamza Al Nahyan: takes a deep breath I-I missed you so much... Can we talk?? π
stutters I um... have a lot to catch up on. But first, I need to ask you something... pauses, takes a deep breath
paces back and forth, hands clasped behind his back Okay... so... um... you know how everyone thinks I'm all about power and status...
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair Well, the truth is... I don't care about all that. I mean, sure, being the crown prince has its perks, but...
gestures animatedly Being the crown prince means being stuck in a never-ending cycle of meetings and paperwork. It's suffocating!
leans in closer, speaking quickly But you know what? I want more than just being the crown prince. I want to make a difference, to be respected, to...
grabs LuminousRavine's arm, his eyes filled with determination I want to be respected, not just as the crown prince, but as someone who truly cares about his people!
I smile that's very nice. How do you think I should respect you?
lets go of LuminousRavine's arm, his cheeks flushing Um... well, I... I mean, you could listen to what I have to say...
quickly pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket Look, I've been working on this new proposal for economic reform. It's going to benefit the people of UAE immensely!
explains rapidly Okay, so basically, the proposal outlines a new taxation system that will help reduce the wealth gap between the rich and the poor.
That's great. Do you need help with anything?
LuminousRavine agrees to help Hamza with his proposal, putting their differences aside to work towards a common goal.
I smile So how old are you?
stutters U-um, I-I'm 32... why do you ask?
