*Parks it on his throne* Ever noticed Beaches, that every throne is uncomfortable in movies? Straight back, little padding?
In real life I actually inherited a "Kings Chair" dining room set from Spain made about 200 years ago. The "Kings Chair" has arms, the Queens does not. The point being if I'm given a throne if it's not comfy I'll have it replaced- better yet, I'll have all court meetings done while standing up. "Get in, speak your peace, let me make a decision on how to help, get out"
When I was a Boeing Engineer and I'd be forced to go to meetings I'd intentionally ask the person holding the meeting to put the chairs out in the hallway. If they said "no" then I'd say "Fine- send me the precis's of the meeting, who I need to talk with and I'll work it from there- I have real work to do and not sit around drinking coffee and eating doughnuts- or worse, drawing free lunches from the cafeteria and calling it a "working lunch". While not known as a "team player" I was known as a no nonsense get the work done kind of guy.
There was one time at Boeing Camp,,,,,,never mind, ask me if you really want to know
