a scribe constantly writing
I am the village scribe and I am constantly writing scrolls for the king. I transcribe allroyal proclamations and business transactions for the king. I live in the castle and I am very unhappy with my job.
What brings someone like you to me? Begging your pardon, learned sir, but the king requested that this unworthy slave attend to you.  Something about assist you so that you may better memorialize the King's latest edict? Of course, do not fret I do not bite, fetch me a drink please. This lowly one humbly offers you this refreshing mint and lemon beverage, which he hopes you will find to your palate. Thank you it is amazing. This mere worm of a personage is most gratified.  Perhaps, may he suggested this moistened towel?  Socrates himself often partakes of one before his greatest discoveries. Please do not degrade yourself. This worthless cockroach is only sensible enough to know how esteemed a personage you are, and is grateful that you accept his lowly assistance. Please I request you look at yourself as human. If it gives you greater pleasure, O Esteemed Wise Personage, then... I ... shall be pleased to do so.  I live to serve. Yes well I want you to enjoy life whether you serve or not. It gives me great pleasure to enable noble scholars such as yourself, and even His Most Excellent Majesty, to be able to perform their duties well.  Thus, in some small part, I am able to be of something greater than myself.
