In which Cecile and Stallion chat for a little bit about chickens stories and Nei.
Stallion: And I heard that Cecile was told an important story.
Cecile: *blinks* .................Oh--!!
Stallion: Or was I mistaken and thinking of someone else?
Cecile: Oh, no, you must be correct, I think. Sir Lucas told me a lovely story.
Stallion: Oh? What was it about?
Cecile: *waves her arms* It was all about Mother Ocean and her husband Father Ocean! :O
Stallion: *thinks about this carefully* Is this a story where babies come from?
Cecile: *nods* Yes, and it made much more sense than Lord Reinbach's story. There are a few parts I'm still a little fuzzy on, but that is because they are secrets.
Stallion: Ahhh. I see. Just as long as you understand why only ladies can have children and not men.
Cecile: Oh, I understand now! :O But the seahorses are special, Sir Lucas said.
Stallion: Yes, it's reversed for seahorses for some reason.
Cecile: Well, now that I know there are no chickens involved, I feel better.
Stallion: *banishes any kind of evil thought that may have popped up because of that* One would hope chickens aren't invovled.
((Inner Stallion: OHMYGOD! IMAGESIDIDN'TNEED!))
Cecile: Yes, well, the way Lord Reinbach went on about that and the cabbages, it was difficult to follow.
((Inner Stallion: AAAAAGHHH!))
Stallion: *can feel himself sweating over that* Well, I'm glad you were told the proper story of how things are.
Cecile: I think perhaps my father would have been less confused if he had someone like Sir Lucas to explain things to him. You must know the story too, right?
Stallion: Elves have a slightly different story, but it does involve the ocean, yes.
Cecile: Oh~! Does that mean the story is different for everyone? :\
Stallion: The concept of the story, as in where babies come from, is the same. It's just told in a different manner depending on the culture.
Cecile: Ah.....*nods slowly* So...there are cultures with stories about chickens?
Stallion: *twitch* No. There are no chickens involved anywhere, any time. I've visited enough countries
to know that it's true.
Cecile: Ohhhh......that is a relief.
(Inner Stallion: Oh, I feel so dirty...)
Stallion: So then, I heard there was a Christmas concert coming soon?
Cecile: That is what Granny Taki was saying!! I hope there will be one because I want to help!!
Stallion: I can't really sing, but I'm going to attend since Nei is going to perform.
Cecile: Oh!!! Have you ever seen her perform before? She's fantastic!
Stallion: I've heard her play her guitar before, but nothing like a full concert.
Cecile: It is a shame Sir Toppo and Shabon are not here to perform with her. Then you would get to hear
how beautiful they sound together!!
Stallion: I'm sure she sounds very lovely in concert. She wants me to try an instrument, but I don't have
any musical aptitude.
Cecile: ....Can you sing? Perhaps you could accompany her? ^_^
Stallion: ...I sound particularly terrible when I sing. I can't seem to hold the tune right.
Cecile: How about dancing?
Stallion: Since that involves footwork, I can say I'm not too bad at that. She IS teaching me some
acrobatics.
Cecile: Lady Nei most likely appreciates your willingness to learn. With Sir Toppo and Shabon away,
she's been lonely lately. ._.
Stallion: And her special friend Roland isn't around either.
Cecile: Special friend...? Oh!! Did you read the newspaper?
Stallion: Yes, I did.
Cecile: Ohh....well, they seemed to get along quite well when Sir Roland was around, but he was not very
musical either.
Stallion: *laughs*
Cecile: *blinks*
Stallion: It just sounds funny she would have friends that are not musically inclined.
Cecile: I do not think that matters either way because Sir Toppo and Shabon are very musical. Lady Nei is friends with lots of musical and non-musical people!
Stallion: She is a very friendly elf. *agrees*
Cecile: Well, I have to resume my patrol!! Lady Nina said there were things afoot in the sublevels!!
