[Liquid, being British himself, was well aware of Queen Elizabeth I. He had seen portraits, he had read the history, all of that sort of thing. He did not ever expect to see her standing in Somarium, plain as day.]

[Hell, he was staring right at her and still didn't quite believe what he was seeing. But if she really wasn't the Queen, and, for whatever reason, had been dressed like her before she arrived, there would hardly be any reason to remain in-character. And, quite frankly, Somarium had brought in stranger people before.]

...

[It was about this point that he also realized that he was standing in front of what was probably Queen Elizabeth, shirtless and with his jacket wide open.]

[Take note, Somarium, for on this day, Liquid, fully of his own will, buttoned his jacket.]

[virgo_regina]

[It wasn't impossible for Elizabeth to appreciate a man in little clothing. She was not a woman without desire, though she had a tight control on that feeling. Still it was neither the time nor place and she certainly had no interest. Hard blue eyes landed on Liquid, and when he buttoned up his jacket, she allowed him the slightest notion she... was grateful for it. But only just, if he did not look, he would not see it. Was she in a land of indecency? Well, a bawdy man or woman was not uncommon anywhere.

When he continued to just look at her she lifted her chin up with pride, locking her fierce gaze with his.]

[Liquid had been on the receiving end of plenty of fierce gazes, but he had never been under the scrutiny of one quite like this-- one so cool, regal and dignified. If she was not the Queen she was, at least, an excellent actor.]

[He was no expert in reading the expressions of the Queen, but he had at least picked up that she approved of his buttoned jacket.]

[Humility did not normally become him, but neither did offending the Virgin Queen; he could put pride aside in favor of propriety in this case. He bowed slightly from the waist.]

Your Majesty.

[virgo_regina]

Have you brought Us here? [She had after all, demanded the presence of her assailants only moments before. Her question lacked any formality, it was a demand and less of a question. What would a man like this want with her? Her mind was already working towards an answer. How did Walsingham not know of this plot? Had something escaped even her spy-master? Surely not. Still, this man was showing her her due respect. If he was her kidnapper, he meant her no harm for the moment.]

[hunt_jackals]

No, your Majesty, I did not. I am as much trapped here as you are.

[And he would continue to show her due respect. Though Liquid had no great love for the British government, he could respect this queen for her accomplishments during her reign, as he would respect any man who had proven himself a capable leader.]

Then who is Our captor... and apparently yours.
