Graceful Loser | |
| The Magician’s Elephant / int_191a3673 | comment |
Graceful Loser: The king's whole purpose is to be entertained, so he doesn't mind when Peter's impossible tasks result in Peter losing an expensive sword or causing a valuable soldier to reconsider his calling, and even when the elephant sneezes on him, covering him in snot he takes it in stride because it gets the countess to laugh. | |

| The Magician’s Elephant / int_af739531 | comment |
Inept Mage: The titular Magician's power has waned in this world without wonder or hope. He can still do magic, but he only conjure random things, hence the elephant in place of a bouquet. When he and the people start believing again, he gains enough control to send the elephant home. | |

Exact Words: The fortune teller offers to answer one question for Peter in exchange for his coin, but she makes a point of repeatedly warning him to ask the right question rather than waste it on something that won't give him the information he needs. | |
