[action]

[Anyone happening to be near the outskirts today might be treated to something of an unusual sight; one of the guardian wolves padding into sight, carrying Eleanor by the scruff of her shirt. Both are soaking wet, and Eleanor bears the unmistakable signs of someone taken for a very rough ride. The watchful wolf lays her small, unconscious

Comments

[airof]

Sorry, I don't know who any them are, but even if I did I don't think you could talk to them.

[cagemyhappiness]

Seems so.

[glances off to the side thoughtfully]

Perhaps...it's better that way. Mm. [and looking back at North Italy] Do you know what this Queen is like?

[airof]

You think so? [that's a first!]

She's really moody! Pretty, but moody. And makes an awful lot of mistakes, now that I think about it.

[cagemyhappiness]

[MY FRIENDS SUCK

tilts head to the side in a somewhat questioning way]

....moody.

[airof]

One second she's calling you dear and sweetheart and the next she's upset about things I don't get.

[cagemyhappiness]

Doesn't sound too strange. Royalty behaves how they want.

[shrug]

[airof]

But she's not my Queen.

Our queen. It's different, you know!

[cagemyhappiness]

I don't even have a Queen. I don't care what this one thinks.

Doesn't change things though, now does it?

[airof]

[neither does she beside the point]

That's really accepting of someone who's been taken away from their home. If you're trying to act tough, don't worry! I can be tough for you.

[cagemyhappiness]

[oh god you are the weirdest specimen

staaaaring]

...No. I just don't care. And I don't have a home, so that doesn't matter either.

[airof]

Sure you do! It's too sad for someone so young to say something like that! You're, like, six.

[cagemyhappiness]

I'm ten. There's four whole years difference. [grar] I can count, you know.

[airof]

Same thing! [no it's not...] Too young, you're probably scared, right?

What's your name?
