[Katherine is going about the simple, mundane task of sorting wool into separate colors, a job one of her ladies would have likely done for her back home. She recites an old poem as she works:]A palm tree stands in the midst of Rusafa ( Read more... )

*not in her element, *lady's pursuits, *bedtime stories of battle

[Juliet looks up from her own housework - more mending - as she hears Katherine's poem and request.]

Would that the sheep had been so accommodating, Majesty. I've not yet begun to sort mine.

Bubbles has found quite a number of sheep, as you know. Not all of them have yet been shorn.

[A conspiratorial smile.]

Do you suppose our menfolk are willing for the task?

[She smiles briefly in return.]

I would hope they were, Majesty. It would be to their benefit in the end, after all.

[She turns from the camera a moment.]

Tybalt? Cos? Might I beg a favor?

I will speak with my lord husband as soon as I may. [She has the distinct feeling Henry will refuse. She also has the feeling that if it becomes a matter of pride... he will agree.]

[He's silent for a moment, simply listening, before smiling.]

I like it.

Moorish poetry is very simple and clear. [She says it as though she admires these traits.] Do you know they even made songs about my mother?

[Video] reflectivedawn June 9 2011, 00:00:59 UTC

She must have been a great woman.

[Video] marriedforlove June 9 2011, 00:07:11 UTC

Oh, the Moors make songs of anything. But she was indeed great. She is an example.

I have fifty of them.

Do you want any.

[SOMEONE WILL EVENTUALLY SAY YES.]

[Video] marriedforlove June 8 2011, 23:55:16 UTC

Fifty? [Katherine treats this with mild surprise as her eyebrows lift.]

I would be grateful for wool, of course. You are a shepherdess?

[... that may or may not be a twitch.]

No, but Castiel is.

[Somewhat irritably -- and Rei tilts her PCD to show, literally, a sea of rainbow sheep outside of her window.

They have not left.]

I am interested only in their wool. [She pauses, thinks, and adds.] Their meat as well, a small amount. [She and Henry alone cannot eat much before it would spoil.]

Not all the colors are unpleasant. [Which is why she's sorting them. Some of these will never be used. Ever.

... Ever.]

I have no doubt of it. [She has worn twice-mended gowns before, and been laughed at by her betrothed's family. But what was she to do, with her late husband's family refusing to pay her jointure as Arthur's widow, and her father refusing to give her any allowance from Spain as his daughter when she had been Arthur's wife?]

I will set them aside, for that time.

[There's something it would look like that's much, much worse than a pride parade.]

I don't plan to wear jester's clothes.

[A faint twitch of a smile.]

Perhaps. Perhaps for a pageant. The story of Joseph would be well-suited.
