Man, I'm popular these days. Almost makes me think I'm back in my kingdom. Who are you?

~~Kingdom~~

My name is Willow. I really need to talk to you. Are you free anytime today?

Strange name. Isn't that some kind of tree with big hanging branches that make great places to hide from old geezers that want to teach proper etiket as if which fork you use in the presence of the visiting royalty really will be the difference between the two kingdoms going to war or not?

I can make time, except during lunch. I have an evil whiny wizard to remind I'm still here then. What do you have in mind and what do you look like? That'll make it easier for me to find you.

Um, yeah, it's a tree. And you spell it 'etiquette,' by the way. :)

We have... gardening next shift, right? Is that okay? I have red hair and green-ish eyes, if that helps.

You

So your correcting my spelling now? Bet you think your smarter than me too. Books only get you so far, Red, and you mite not want to patroneyes me with your little smile face next time. In fact, don't correct me next time and leave my damn spelling as shitty as it is.

Damn books. Books don't run a kingdom. Books don't teach you how to make feild decishuns in the midst of battle when goblins, werewolves, and cimeras are baring down on your people and you need to bring all the men home to their family so the kids don't cry and they expect you to save the fucking day, driving fear into the enemy because that's who you are, what you do and how you keep the kingdom strong.

That shit isn't in books, Red. I'll meet you next shift, cause this needs settled and its in your best interests to settle it when the vultures are circling.

[there's a couple phrases started and hurriedly scribbled out at the top, all of it illegible]

This is why I need to talk to you. It's not what you think, I swear. I'm sorry I made you mad, but I can explain.

You damn well better explain and do it fast. I have little pashents for minxes.

Alita!

It really isn't what you think, so you can stop threatening Willow. I was getting close to her because I do that with everyone; she's a friend, and I like affection. That's all.

You're the princess; let me be the knight in shining armor. :-)

We'll just see if that's the case, but fine. I'll give her the privlage of listening to what she has to say before I decide what to do to her.

Are you sure it's a knight you wish to be? In Forland, knights are forbidden from involvement with their royalty. I'd hate to see you dishonored and possibly even out to death for breaking such a custom...

Okay... but if talking to her gets you so agitated you have to work some energy off, I'll help!

In my land, the laws are different, so I think we're okay. :-)

Sadly, I have not yet healed. If I must, I'll just store that energy for future use.
