[Oh no. Frey is the last person she wanted to hear from after her little sharing session. It takes her a moment to respond, and when she does, her voice is a liiiittle shaky:]
Georg killed...... my mother? To stop her from using the rune again?
[He'd always assumed she'd fallen to Godwin's assassins. Faceless enemies, not a trusted friend. He almost wants to ask how his Father died. But He probably doesn't want to know.]
He never said anything....
[Frey can understand that it was necessary. Intellectually anyway. But it's still hard to hear. It's still a shock.]
He did. You'll find out for yourself eventually, whenever you get to go back home... And I'm sure you can figure out why he never told you himself -- he was just waiting for the right time, I think. I guess I kinda ruined that! First with Georg, and now this...
[Oh.... Well, alright then. This has not been the best week for him. Lyon is mopey for reasons he can't even begin to guess at, his not!dad is a homicidal maniac who can and does shoot lightening at him, and now this.]
Right.... I understand. It was something he had to do.
[He is keeping his tone very carefully even here.]
Well, let's just slide him up the event scale a little for kicks.mercyasdeepJuly 17 2011, 00:50:59 UTC
[Oh, she just had to ask him if he needed anything, didn't she? Well, he hasn't been thinking too much about how this strange event is affecting him, so it takes him by surprise when he answers her instead of hanging up, as he'd intended.]
The only thing I really need is to get out of the house I'm living in, but since that's impossible, don't worry about it.
[Miakis doesn't respond right away. She's too busy seething. No one threatens the life of anyone in the royal family, and no one definitely calls Queen Arshtat a whore.]
I'll try not to tell Lyon -- I don't think she's going to want to talk to me for a while, anyway, thanks to this thing with Ken...
Who is this guy? He sounds like he needs to be taught a lesson!
I won't go after the guy if you're so against it, but... please be careful, okay? We may not be in Falena anymore, but it's still my job -- and Lyon's -- to keep you safe...
Miakis.... Is that.... true?
[He's really, really hoping it isn't. Too bad for him.]

Prince... I meant every word.

I..... have to go. I'll talk to you later.

[Great, now she's gone and made Lyon and Frey all upset and depressed. That just makes her feel fantastic, let me tell you.]
Let me know if you need anything, okay? I can't... protect the Princess here, so -- serving you is the least I can do, as long as we're all here.

Wh-What? Prince, what's going on over there?

[He tries to hang up the phone in a panic. Then picks it back up and answers her anyway.]
But it's because I live with a psychopath who murders people in horrific ways, shoots lightening at me, and implied that my mother was a whore.
[well, there goes keeping that a secret.]
But I didn't want anyone to find out, so could you not tell Lyon?

You haven't seen what he does to his.... victims. I can't let him do that to you.
