Quest 236

[primrosella]

I wasn't just dreaming all the commotion--it really is them. They're really here! Oh, I thought it would be the end of last month, but this...this is even better.Oh, hello, everyone! It's just lovely to see you all again! I do hope you all managed to dress warmly before coming here, since it's the winter season now. Or, well--it is for us, anyway,

audio; so much a placeholder

[imunderground]

Well met, Princess Rosella. Have you found a use for my crystal?

audio; <3

[primrosella]

Oh! Er...the Goblin King, wasn't it? It's so very nice to see you again, your majesty. Yes, thank you, I've kept it quite safe since I saw you last.

audio; *now* it's a placeholder!

[imunderground]

Keeping something safe is hardly the same as using it.

audio; righto! o/

[primrosella]

You did ask if I'd found a use for it, though, not if I'd used it.

audio;

[imunderground]

You're too clever for your own good, dear girl.

I suppose you use it to weigh down documents or something similarly ridiculous.

audio;

[primrosella]

Oh, no, not at all. I keep it as a...a hope, if you will. A chance, that I might need to use someday. But for now, I'm quite content to treasure it, as a fond memory of someone who was once very kind to me.

audio;

[imunderground]

A far more dignified use and a fonder memory than I might deserve.

audio;

[primrosella]

Perhaps so, but I like them both, nonetheless.

[imunderground]

[Rosella, Rosella... why can't you wish a younger sibling away? Jareth would make the labyrinth easy for you, honestly. He knows how poorly putting young ladies in peril works when one has romantic intents.]

Your graciousness is a gift that I dearly hope this dungeon appreciates.

audio;

[primrosella]

[Largely because the only sibling she has is a twin, alas.]

Well, it's just a matter of always trying our best to do the right thing, don't you think?

audio;

[imunderground]

[Well, do find one and start wishing.]

It's a fine theory, if difficult to follow in certain realms.

audio;

[primrosella]

[As you wish, sire.]

Well, yes. I'm afraid that's very true. But...even so, we still do have to try.

audio;

[imunderground]

[odd, humorless chuckle] You're a fascinating girl, Princess Rosella. I wonder if you couldn't teach the goblins a lesson or two.

audio;

[primrosella]

I'm very flattered you think so, your majesty. And I'd certainly try my very best at it, if the chance arose.

audio;

[imunderground]

Have you ever met a goblin?

audio;

[primrosella]

I'm afraid not, no. But I have met a troll, and an ogre, and some very unpleasant other creatures, as well.
