[TJ dips his head and rolls his eyes, of course not. It was a comment he might have made himself, in the same position as Ragnar.]
That's.. [He bites his lower lip. Smooths his palms down his thighs.] It's not quite that way. I was prince and I might be again, if my Mom gets elected, but I'm not anymore. Being a 'prince' or the first son, it's - well, I didn't get to make decisions or have a say in anything.
Mostly posed for pictures and played nice with the press so my parent's looked good.
[He snorts, shoving at Ragnar's arm and side as if he'd said the funniest thing TJs ever heard. He has. Laughs, though it's a little self-depreciating.]
No. I don't. I would have to campaign and win the love of my people, but I never would because, well, you know. [He shrugs.] I'm gay. I like men. Some don't care but a lot do. I wouldn't be elected and the death threats would increase. Doesn't matter if I could be good at the job.
