She is within yonder castle. [A gesture with her sword, in the vague direction of the house she shares with Usagi.]


(ooc: and 5:05 here if you can stand it XD)

[i_speak_softly]

[Those are the ordinary buildings of Luceti -- Aren't they? Don doesn't remember them looking quite so... palatial.]

[Anyway.]

Then you're an off-duty knight. [He turns back in the direction they'd been walking.] Which means you're free to get some coffee.

[no_use_running]

Coffee, ye say? [Definitely tempting. And the princess is safe in the palace, surrounded by the Guard (ahaha).]

Very well. Onward to the tavern ye have in mind.

[i_speak_softly]

[Don continues to the tavern coffeehouse, though when they arrive, the decor of the place is more medieval-themed than Don recalls it being.]

Can I get you something?

[no_use_running]

Nay, nay; I'll live on the kindness of no man. I'll make my own way.

[i_speak_softly]

[... Okay.]

[Don will walk up to the counter but let Ami order first.]

[no_use_running]

Coffee, with my thanks! [She orders rather enthusiastically for her usual self; apparently playing the knight gives her that kick of confidence.]

[i_speak_softly]

[That is rather un-Ami-like behavior. Don orders the same and then gestures towards the tables. Pick a seat?]

[no_use_running]

[It's why she likes these chances to put on another role. She can escape herself awhile.

She sits normally, at least, and wraps her hands around the mug to enjoy its warmth.]

[i_speak_softly]

[He'll let his coffee cool a bit before he attempts to drink it.]

So, ah... [Clearly an experiment is going on. How can he investigate Ami's effect without taking advantage of it?] Tell me about Usagi-hime.

[no_use_running]

I am her knight. [It's such a simple statement, but it says so much to her: all the loyalty, all the service, all the love she bears Usagi - in any form - as her faithful guardian (as always) and servitor.]

I will be by her side whenever she has need of me.

[i_speak_softly]

[An interestingly indirect answer.]

How long have you - served her?

[no_use_running]

Since her birth.

[Which would make Ami quite young at that time, too. Somehow the event is harkening back to older times, putting that in her head; she belongs to a move chivalrous era thanks to it.

But even as she says it, something doesn't quite seem right to such a normally focused mind. Why can't she remember much of serving the princess this way beyond a few days ago...?]

[i_speak_softly]

[Ami is still only a young woman. So...]

The princess is a child?

[no_use_running]

She's about my age. [She smiles fondly as she says this, as if it's not strange at all.

The princess had grown to match them, very quickly. And this is a fairy-tale, where it makes sense once more.]

[i_speak_softly]

[But it is strange.]

You mean you grew up training to serve her?
