Dreamberry

[initforthedoe]

[Since he's currently very busy with potions he doesn't have time to go out. However, he knows what the Queen of England looks like based on pictures. So, color him interested. He decided to respond since the potion is brewing currently.]

Your Majesty.

Dreamberry

[virgo_regina]

[Elizabeth heard the address and turned to the source of noise. She turned to see... no one... only a black box that had fallen earlier. What sort of creation was this! Even in her finery, cumbersome as it was known to be, she crouched down with grace and ease and slowly picked up the box. Blue eyes locked onto the... man! A man was inside! If Elizabeth was surprised it showed only for a second. Still it was a proper address from this little man, perhaps she could get the information she needed.

But how to address him? Well, he had spoken to her as if he were present, perhaps she need only do the same.]

Well then, this is quite a new way to meet. [She allows the slightest hint of amusement.] And who are you?

Dreamberry

[initforthedoe]

[Apparently it is her. Well, how nice that he didn't get that wrong. Though he isn't always fond of authority when it comes in forms like royalty, he decides to make an exception. This could be interesting if nothing else.

Besides, this is Elizabeth.]

I am Severus Snape. We are speaking on a communication device known as a Dreamberry.

Dreamberry

[virgo_regina]

[She noted there was no "Lord" or "Sir" Snape, but Elizabeth was not a fool to discard information in favor of pomp and circumstance... not for the moment, in any case. A communication device was it. A dreamberry... Elizabeth gazed at it for a long moment. In privacy, she would examine the device thoroughly and if that yielded no knowledge to how to use the device, she would acquire someone who did know.

Perhaps this man. Elizabeth noted his plain speech and the corner of her mouth curled up into what could be the beginnings of a smile. She enjoyed a man who could speak plainly.]

Well, Master Snape, you know of this device [A dreamberry, what a fanciful sort of name.] Perhaps you can tell Us where we are as well and how We have come here? [If this was one of her kidnappers perhaps he was seeking her clemency? She would wait for further information.]

Dreamberry

[initforthedoe]

[Master Snape. He rather likes that. It has a certain ring to it that appeals to him. Not that he shows it of course. Except perhaps with a slight curl of his lips. Very slight though. This is Snape after all. He does like to keep those emotions in check.]

You are in Somarium. It's a world of dreams apparently. As for how you got here, I doubt anyone really knows the answer to that.

Dreamberry

[virgo_regina]

Somarium? [Latin? A world of dreams... yet no one knew how they arrived. The simple answer would be "sleep" but this was unlike any dream Elizabeth had ever had. Clearly it wouldn't be just a matter of "waking up." She gazed at Severus for a long time. No... no, he was not a "kidnapper" his tone suggested otherwise, although it was very easy to fake that. She could take Severus at his word or disbelieve everything. Both options had little room for anything but one action.

If this were true, her goal would be to endeavor a way to turn to England. She did not have time for some idle dream after all. If it were a lie, she would still need to find a way home, but it would be a matter of discerning where she was and who she could rely on to do that.

She didn't know any of these individuals... still, Snape's accent was of her kingdom. He was, for all intent and purpose, a subject.]

And how to return, is just as an illusive an answer... [She said it more to herself than to Snape, not even looking at him for a confirmation.

Dreamberry

[initforthedoe]

If typical describes a situation that could be better described as overly irritating and unfortunate then you are correct.

[Honestly he wanted to have his death in peace. Instead he's made a pit stop in this world. Until he could leave it would mean dealing with all this here.

Like talking to the Queen of England.

Interestingly enough, he didn't feel like she was looking down on him. Something that prevented him from falling into a far colder attitude. Of course this hasn't stopped him from speaking plainly to her as an equal but that's hardly the point.]

You will find that your title means little here. You should be warned of this.

Dreamberry

[virgo_regina]

[Yes, typical was the perfect word under that definition.

Still the last part he said. Her title meant nothing?]

Even if this is not Our home, Our station has not changed. [Still, better to ask for clarification. Was he insinuating because she was a woman it meant nothing? He didn't look like such a fool.] Explain yourself, Master Snape.

Dreamberry

[initforthedoe]

Though you will find I mean no disrespect, Your Majesty, there are those of many different worlds here. Along with yourself, there are other people who are royalty. In this place people are all placed at the same level and must work their way up for something more.

[It's just a fact really. He just wants her to know why some people will not respect the fact that she is queen.]

Dreamberry

[virgo_regina]

[And suddenly, Elizabeth smiled.]

We are fond of your plain speech, Master Snape. But I do know something of making something more of myself. [Her switch to the "I" was intentional. Oh by God did she know. She gazed at this man... and was suddenly fiercely reminded of her Walsingham. Plain and direct speech, dark clothing, and knowledge he was quick to yield to her. Oh, she certainly did not trust Severus, she barely knew him or his intentions. But for now, she could show a sign of... fondness. It did not hurt that he was not unfortunate in appearance, his dark coloring very pleasant to her eyes.]

Dreamberry

[initforthedoe]

Yes. I believe you are more than capable of doing just as you wish.

[Since she isn't looking down on him, he's far more willing to show a touch more respect to her than he might others. So far, she's left a good impression upon him, including not being offended by how he speaks. Currently he's decided that she's better than most who hold the status of Royalty.]

Dreamberry

[virgo_regina]

[Not only was he plain in speech and attractive but he was complimenting of her. Her fondness for the man was growing by the second.]

Tell Us, Master Snape, have you been here long?

Dreamberry

[initforthedoe]

Not long. Around a month. Though that has been long enough, I should think.

[To form an opinion and to learn things.]

Dreamberry. (I am loving these two's convo and they only just met)

[virgo_regina]

Indeed, long enough for a bearing in a world such as this. [Now, the question was how to get him to help her. She could play the coquette role, she could demand it of him... so many other options...]

Dreamberry. (lol so am I. This is amazing.)

[initforthedoe]

It doesn't take long to become accustomed to it. In a fashion. [He doubts anyone could actually manage to get used to it.]

Dreamberry

[virgo_regina]

Time is not something We have, Master Snape. We must return to Our people. [Elizabeth could be called many things, but she would never be called someone who abandoned her people.]
