A princess? We had someone looking for princesses not too long ago...

[readitinabook]

Yes, but...it doesn't matter right now.

[gun_cata]

I don't think the Queen cares about that sorta thing, no.

[readitinabook]

Shouldn't she? If she's a queen, then her own daughters would be princesses. So...

[It's taking her a moment, but she gets there.]

I wouldn't think she'd want any threats to succession around.

[gun_cata]

If she has any daughters yet.

[readitinabook]

It doesn't seem like a very wise move.

[gun_cata]

She doesn't seem like a very wise queen.

[readitinabook]

That's not right...look at this place! It's so beautiful.

[gun_cata]

And yet the wilderness around the edge turned two people into children for days, and when she decided to add stars to the night sky she accidentally made it so bright that no one could get any sleep.

I'm not saying she's bad, or has bad intentions, but she's an airhead who needs a talking-to.

[readitinabook]

But if she won't listen to anyone...who'll do the talking?

[gun_cata]

I guess we need to find her in person...

[readitinabook]

If that's what it takes...I'll help look!

[gun_cata]

Good, good. Keep your eyes and ears open for any kind of plan anyone comes up with.

[readitinabook]

I will. I'll read all the scrolls, too!

[gun_cata]

You could find someone else who's reading them and team up.

[readitinabook]

That's a good idea!
