Oh, bother it all

[playstheblues]

Oh?

[primrosella]

It's nothing bad, I promise!

[Attempted Private]

I just...well. I've been keeping a secret from you for a while. And you may have already guessed it, but I feel I ought to say it outright, myself.

Private || unhackable

[playstheblues]

Alright. I'm listening.

Private || unhackable

[primrosella]

My name isn't Rosella of Daventry. Er, not exactly. It's...Princess Rosella of Daventry.

I'd been trying to keep it a secret and usually wasn't very good at it, but...my close friends deserve to know.

Private || unhackable

[playstheblues]

Princess?

Private || unhackable

[primrosella]

Yes. And I was heir to my kingdom's throne for seventeen years or so, but I'm not exactly sure if that'll be so when I go back home, since I have a long-lost twin brother who might end up ruling instead. But that's just--oh, no, you're not angry with me, are you?

Private || unhackable

[playstheblues]

I'm not angry.

Private || unhackable

[primrosella]

It's not that I didn't trust you! It's just...I kept it a secret at first because I was scared, and then even when I knew it'd be all right, it was just a habit to not mention it, and it's not exactly the sort of thing that just comes up in conversation, but...well, these are just excuses and explanations. Yes, I'm a princess, and I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.

Private || unhackable

[playstheblues]

It's okay, Rosella. We all have secrets, I'm not angry.

Private || unhackable

[primrosella]

I'm glad, Blue. But it's certainly a relief to finally be straightforward about it; I've had to be careful about everything I said for months now! ...Did you really not know? Or even suspect?

Private || unhackable

[playstheblues]

Well...it's not the first conclusion I jump to, when I think of a nice girl.

Private || unhackable

[primrosella]

Hm, now I rather wonder--what is the first conclusion you jump to when you think of a nice girl?

Private || unhackable

[playstheblues]

...that maybe she would like to be my friend.

Private || unhackable

[primrosella]

I can't imagine someone who wouldn't want to be your friend.

Private || unhackable

[playstheblues]

...really?

Private || unhackable

[primrosella]

Yes, really. Well, other than a troll or an ogre or something like that, I suppose, but they don't tend to want to be anyone's friend, so they don't exactly count.
