Sixty-Seven Kings Slain

... Balthier, there are not mistletoe all throughout the apartment are there?

[Was just at the stables and... he's glad he didn't get stuck under one with a Chocobo. That would have been awkward. He's almost back to Latimir and the thought had just dawned on him. It was just like last year. Well he hoped not.]I hope they are easy to remove unlike

[In her keenness after being told she can finally get out of the hospital, Ashe overlooks the mistletoe comments.]

The doctors say I am well enough to leave, yet I must wait until the morning.

[captain_basch]

[A voice Basch is ever happy to hear. And more so that she can return home to them.]

Balthier and I shall have things moved around so there is less chance of mishap.

[And there is a smile to his voice.]

Rest well, Majesty. We shall be there early morn to collect you.

[dynast_daughter]

I am rested enough.

[There's a hint that she's had enough of being bedridden and wants to get herself going again, but this Queen is still under firm orders to take it easy.]

... Mishap? You mean this plant?

[captain_basch]

While you may be that, Majesty, a little more would do more good than bad.

[He can tell she's listless, but doctors orders are orders.]

Aye. Just as the year before, they are causing much mischief and grief.

[dynast_daughter]

... As they tell me.

[She may be his monarch, but Ashe knows there'll be no letting those orders slide so long as Basch is watching over her.]

I recall their meaning... They are prevalent here, also. Should Balthier and yourself succeed in detaching any in the apartment, I would be most grateful.

[captain_basch]

[And he's smiling at you, even if you can't see it Ashe. Yes Basch my be your knight, but he's a very worried knight that just wants you to be okay.]

Detaching any is as impossible as last year, I am sorry to inform you, Majesty. Though we are trying to make the apartment easier to move around in without having to find any of us in a situation.

[dynast_daughter]

[At that she sighs, looking over the hospital's own infestation with dismay.]

Very well. ...It has taken quite the hold over the hospital.
