[Karna, no. Feeding his ego more will have disastrous consequences and all of Ozymandias' court are going to whisper at you to consider what you say before saying it to keep their beloved, but noisy king under a certain level of volume and topic of conversation.
Because, yes--Karna's next comment about catching the eyes of many only makes the man seem to puff up even more, that little curl at the top of his head almost bouncing with how he squares his shoulders, standing tall.]
Of course! There are many who would wish their entire lives away at the chance of having me return their affections! Which is why you should be honoured, in a way, that your country's loss has landed you here in my lap. There are many men as well as women who would give up their lives to stay at my side. But as the God-King of Egypt, I must only choose the finest of people to keep as my company. As a great warrior and prince of a rival country, you far more than suit me. [He had no idea Karna was a deity yet, but certainly if he DID know, he'd comment even furthur on it being suited to him, too.
A hand moves after he finishes his colourful little speech... and it lands on Karna's shoulder.]
...I meant that I wanted to relieve you of your robes, Karna. I can hardly see what is now mine with all these layers on you.
[Look at that golden armour, and the black bodysuit. Covered by a loose-fitting robe... he wanted to see what hid underneath it all.]
