This is a Rial eying aforesaid sculptures with something like faint fascination mixed with vague horror.

He tilts his head on one side.

And a little farther.

And a little farther, to the point where he's basically sideways, eyes wide.

"Um."

cheevy January 21 2007, 02:01:31 UTC

Miniver turns towards the "um."

"Um," he replies. "You're somewhat sideways. It goes the other way."

eiattu_pride January 21 2007, 02:04:46 UTC

"It does?"

Rial goes upright again.

"I - suppose I might regret asking what it is?"

cheevy January 21 2007, 02:05:46 UTC

"You might."

:D?

eiattu_pride January 21 2007, 02:07:36 UTC

"I shall take my chances."

Deep breath.

"What is it?"

cheevy January 21 2007, 02:10:39 UTC

"President Lynden B. Johnson making love to a chicken," Miniver proclaims. Then, after a pause, "It's a work in progress. You're holding the Commander-in-Chief's shotgun. He'd like it back."

Miniver says this with PERFECT seriousness.

eiattu_pride January 21 2007, 02:13:42 UTC

There are no words to describe Rial's expression right now, as he concentrates on imagining how this would all work.

"Call me a critic, but the chicken would have to be somewhat large. Or it just wouldn't work."

cheevy January 21 2007, 02:17:30 UTC

"The chicken," Miniver says, "is the entire United States of America."

He leans over and plucks the saltshaker out of Rial's hands. "Your country owes you a debt of gratitude for your valiant service this evening."

He replaces the missing... piece... and steps back to consider his sculpture with an artist's eye.

eiattu_pride January 21 2007, 02:25:31 UTC

Rial considers it with the eye of someone who up untill six months ago could not say 'sex' without blushing like a fire hydrant.

"It's - lovely. Really. Very nice."

cheevy January 21 2007, 02:28:26 UTC

"Are you kidding me? It's a bunch of fucking silverware and a dirty mind."

He digs a flask out of his back pocket and takes a swig, then offers it to Rial.

eiattu_pride January 21 2007, 02:30:32 UTC

"No thanks."

He grins though, at that. "Diplomatic training. Never insult or put down the people you're talking too, just in case they shoot you."

Looking around, "Or impale you with a saltshaker."

cheevy January 21 2007, 02:36:19 UTC

Miniver crosses his arms. "Blame the President. I'm just one of the guys he wouldn't give a gun to. Probably wise of him."

He takes another drink, winces, and puts the flask away. "M' name's Miniver. New York 1967. You?"

eiattu_pride January 21 2007, 02:43:04 UTC

"From Earth, then?"

He offers his hand. "Count Rial Pernon, of Eiattu."

cheevy January 21 2007, 02:47:42 UTC

"A Count! I am honored, my lord." Miniver takes his hand and bows awkwardly.

Obviously someone who has never actually seen any manner of royalty or nobility anywhere outside books.

eiattu_pride January 21 2007, 02:53:38 UTC

Evidently.

Rial's just glad they haven't had the coronation yet, or he'd have to introduce himself as Emperor.

"It's just Rial, really."

cheevy January 21 2007, 03:04:39 UTC

"...Right then. Not from Earth, I guess. Groovy. Um. So are you real nobility with a stronghold and everything?"
