Sir Ishida? I hate to bother you, but, I inquire, do you do any sort of repair work? I’m afraid I’ve been a little rough on the garment you tailored for me, and it’s been torn

I'd recommend rose petal tea, Lady.

[cursedqueen]

You are...

Though, considering the company, I'd say an orange pekoe may suit such coarse tastes.

[cursedqueen]

I do not believe, from what I know, that I should listen to your recommendations, sir.

[maitre_de_carte]

And what exactly is it that you know, Lady?

[cursedqueen]

I'm not sure I need share that with you, sir.

My Lady, must I iterate that it is rather rude and common to tease a gentleman with a bluff?

[cursedqueen]

I have become common since the loss of my crown.

One maintains the tint of royalty in their blood even beyond abdication or usurpation. Unless, of course, it is whittled away by silly pursuits.

My Lady, if I may be blunt, this isn't a game of poker.

[cursedqueen]

I will be equally blunt and admit with some chagrin that I know now of this game you speak of.

Is that so...

Your words only manage to capture me, Lady. Pretty words... pretty silks.

I was not a queen without any talents in the voice, my lord.

Pretty words are merely veils for one's true purpose.

[maitre_de_carte]

And so one wonders about your true purpose.

[cursedqueen]

That would be the intent.

My Lady, have you heard the story of the first murderer on Earth?

[cursedqueen]

I know my creation tales, my lord, how the gods made the sun and stars, and human kind, and how the first human to kill another became the race vampyre, yes, I know the tale.
