You weren't too much of a brat.

And who's this Arthur guy?

primrosella December 24 2008, 07:46:34 UTC

Yes, I was. I was a terror and we both know it.

A prince. I went to the winter ball with him the other night. ...And then, er, bothered him yesterday.

not_so_smooth December 24 2008, 07:47:34 UTC

Okay, yeah, you were a terror.

And he treated you well? I don't have to threaten him or anything, do I?

primrosella December 24 2008, 07:55:58 UTC

Fortunately, though, I grew out of it. Mostly.

Oh, I don't know. You might have to go chop off his hands with a meat cleaver. I did dance with him, after all.

not_so_smooth December 24 2008, 08:00:34 UTC

At least you didn't keep picking up every random object we went by.

That depends, did his hands stay where they were supposed to while you danced?

primrosella December 24 2008, 08:03:47 UTC

No, that's a habit I picked up once I got a little older.

Well, that depends on what you call "where they were supposed to", doesn't it?

not_so_smooth December 24 2008, 08:04:44 UTC

Good. I think.

You know what? I don't even want to know. No, no, no, we're not having this discussion.

primrosella December 24 2008, 08:15:56 UTC

It's my grandfather's advice, you know. "Pick up anything that's not nailed down, and if it is, check for loose nails or boards."

Oh, I'm just teasing. It was perfectly innocent, enjoyable evening. And amusing as it might be to see you threaten him, I really don't think it's necessary.

not_so_smooth December 24 2008, 08:27:44 UTC

The economy of Daventry must be very different from anywhere else in the world. I bet the people who sell hammers and nails make a fortune though.

Good. Because I was going to choose to believe you were teasing regardless of what you said.

primrosella December 24 2008, 08:34:32 UTC

...Yes, I suppose most places don't have a magic chest of gold that never empties, do they.

Well, drat it all, I should've said something really outlandish, then.

not_so_smooth December 24 2008, 17:59:43 UTC

Wait, what?

Tch, your loss!

primrosella December 24 2008, 23:52:33 UTC

...I never mentioned that?

I can't think of anything particularly outlandish, anyway. I'd say something like how we ended the night by stealing a unicorn from the zoo, but I'm afraid you'd actually believe me.

not_so_smooth December 25 2008, 02:16:57 UTC

No, you did not mention that you had a bottomless chest of gold back home.

I probably would. And I'd be pretty sure that it was your idea.

primrosella December 25 2008, 02:25:39 UTC

Oh. Well, yes, it's one of the three treasures of our kingdom. No matter how much gold you take out of it, it'll never empty. Retrieving it was part of the adventure that led my father to become king.

What makes you think it'd be my idea?

not_so_smooth December 25 2008, 18:24:18 UTC

One of the three? You mean a bottomless chest of gold is not enough of a treasury? And how do you deal with inflation? You must have to ration that gold carefully...

Because I know you, Rosella.

primrosella December 25 2008, 18:29:03 UTC

It's plenty of a treasury. The other treasures are a magic shield that protects the bearer from harm, and a magic mirror that tells the future. Of course, I've never actually seen my future in it, though. Daddy said it clouded over the night Alexander was kidnapped, and it didn't clear up until the day he returned home.

He might've asked for it very nicely!
