[ HARK! Citizens of Luceti, Princesses, Princes, Wizards and Trolls! Are you in some sort of peril? Do you require the epic salvation of the one, the only, the wondrous Jubilee? The saver of the helpless, the defeater of the tyrants, the most beautiful elven ex-princess this side of Tolkien

[ Mr Prince is walking through the forest, searching for any lost, and hopefully beautiful, souls in need of rescuing.]

[After a time, she spots the beautiful elven princess catching a butterfly on the tip of a delicate finger. She is quite struck indeed.]

Are you lost, my lady?

[And she almost hopes the beautiful damsel is so that Mr. Prince will have a chance to escort her home]

[mallbabe]

Not at all! [ the ex-princess-adventurer-thief giggles. ] I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.

[toujoursfluer]

[So cute. Be still her heart.]

Is that so? Do you live in this forest?

[mallbabe]

I live where ever I please. The entire world is my home.

[toujoursfluer]

[Such a beautiful sentiment. Mr. Prince's own home is something like that. Eternally moving. Eternally seeking.]

Do you have friends to share this wide world with?

[Though it is not exactly wide. It is narrow and confining.]

[mallbabe]

Of course. A girl always needs companions to travel with.

[toujoursfluer]

And do you have any companions close to your heart?

[She sits on the ground near you, smoke lazily curling from her cigarette. But don't think of her as hitting on you. Mr. Prince would never be so impolite. Just consider it...investigation.]

[mallbabe]

I would consider all of my companions close to my heart. [ though she's missed the point. ] We've all faced great danger together. I couldn't imagine myself without them fighting by my side.

[toujoursfluer]

And what does it take to be close to your heart?

[and she is watching you closely. Any pretty lady is worth getting close to]

[mallbabe]

Honesty, integrity, and a hero's willpower!

[toujoursfluer]

[Well she has at least one of those anyway. Integrity is entirely subjective. She is a pirate, after all and honesty? Few people truly want to know what others really think of them.]

What if someone has honesty and integrity but no willpower? [Like the poor, simple people who can't fight the government that crushes them]

Or integrity and willpower but no honesty? [Well perhaps a little honesty when it really counts]

[mallbabe]

It depends. One of my companions is a well known thief, another is a man who has the strictest justice code I've ever known. As long as they're honest with me it's alright.

[toujoursfluer]

You're a strange maiden-san, ne?

[mallbabe]

I would say a little eccentric.
