[The tiara subsides, but the glimmer does not return. It is not yet appeased. Break is, though. He has complete confidence in his ability to carry this through to a pleasant enough ending, and he's always intended to.
He is refusing to think about it very hard, but when he realized just what had hitched a ride home with him from the haunted house, it did cross his mind that a spirit that is haunting a child's toy is most likely a child that never got to grow up. And Xerxes Break refuses to fail sad little girls, as a general rule.
Once was enough.]
As we're a bit low on players, for now, I'll be the bereaved king who is hiring you to go after the missing princess. [His tone is pleasant again, quite as though he and his tiara were not threatening this poor brat three and a half seconds ago. He feigns sipping his tea.] After that I shall be the villain again. We'll have to have a sword fight, you know.
