Abandon the childish notion of evventual return; it's avversivve to behold.

( Not that he can see but Spain is smiling confidently right now, )

Sí. I'm alive and well and that is because everything is the same at home.

Voice,

[orphans]

[okay that. is the first argument that gives him pause.]

Explain.

Voice,

[conquistador]

Because I am Spain, that's why! ( That should make all of the sense in the world. Except it doesn't. ) I am my people and my people are me. Surely you understand?

Voice,

[orphans]

I do not know what a "Spain" entails, nor have I read into the possible existence 'a a large group of individuals personified into one.

This means nothin' to me.

Voice,

[conquistador]

You don't?

Well, that makes things a bit more difficult to explain. . . but everything is fine! I'm sure of it!

Voice,

[orphans]

How?

[conquistador]

( Where does he even fucking start. Give him a few seconds to collect his thoughts, )

Well, as a kingdom, I can feel everything that is going on, you know? If the economy is poor, my health declines and when the people are unhappy I'm restless. . .

So it makes sense that if I feel alive my people are alive too, right? If you take away my people I'm not much at all. I don't know if I would even still be around. . . Roma was around for awhile but he disappeared when his people moved on.

So if something happened, i think I would know!
