[The video feed comes on to show two unfortunate Alexandrians in stocks right out in the main square of the city. One of whom is one of her own soldiers. There is impatient tapping of Beatrix's foot on the cobblestones echoing before she speaks, and obviously she's got a message to impart to the network and the locals who are gawking with hushed ( Read more... )

Yet another reminder of why I shall never cross you, if at all possible.

[Video] knightedmayrose July 5 2011, 18:29:04 UTC

[Oh, she remembers you. The brawler at Her Majesty's birthday party. Still, Beatrix remains as stoic and chilly as ever.]

A wise decision.

[Video] theleadingman July 5 2011, 18:54:53 UTC

I am nothing if not keenly interested in self-preservation.

Perhaps you should pass along that attribute to these fools.

[Steiner observes all this with much approval.]

A fitting punishment!

knightedmayrose July 6 2011, 02:15:00 UTC

I thought you would approve. The nerve...

[Beatrix is still frowning. Glaring even. No good can come from this.]

captain_rusty July 6 2011, 22:03:56 UTC

[He nods, expression turning grim.]

It is a terrible thing to joke about! We are all of us facing the same situation, Queen and commoners alike. Those scoundrels would not snigger so heartily if it was their wives or husbands who vanished!

[Beatrix places a hand on Steiner's arm and leans in closer so she cannot be overheard.]

They were not betting on a disappearance. It was how soon he would abandon them.

What now?

[Why don't people learn to leave the gossip alone?]

[video] knightedmayrose July 6 2011, 02:16:29 UTC

Someone...

[Beatrix levels an icy stare at her two public prisoners before continuing.]

...thought to take wagers on how quickly the king would abandon his family.

[video] magitekrune July 8 2011, 02:13:43 UTC

[Her eyebrows knit together and she scowls.]

When will they learn?

[video] knightedmayrose July 9 2011, 02:37:34 UTC

I believe they are being well-educated at the moment.

[Beatrix walks a distance away from them to cool off then partially smiles.]

How do you fare, Celes?

[In contrast to Beatrix, Zidane is laughing his head off.]

I don't think they know me too well, do they Bea?

[Video] knightedmayrose July 6 2011, 02:13:33 UTC

[SIGH. Zidane...]

Your Majesty, the slander of your name is not a laughing matter.

[Video] princessstealer July 6 2011, 02:22:49 UTC

Hey, it's not like I can make people think something, right? I don't care - they'll learn they're wrong soon enough.

[Video] knightedmayrose July 6 2011, 02:38:30 UTC

They should not be taking wagers against you.

Beatrix. [Oh, she is stern. But then her voice quiets a little.] Let them out. Gossiping isn't a crime.

knightedmayrose July 6 2011, 18:21:46 UTC

[Bea's not making any move to comply. Frankly, Garnet is far too lenient on offenders. Rinoa being a prime example.]

Collecting bets against the king is close enough, especially in a public venue.

crowned_jewel July 6 2011, 19:46:50 UTC

[Maybe she is... but not when she thinks it counts.] There are more important things to worry about right now than gamblers and gossipers. Now, release them.

knightedmayrose July 7 2011, 02:06:16 UTC

It is a blatant show of disrespect.

[Beatrix steps away and lowers her voice so she cannot be heard.]

It was not idle gossip. They were speculating on how soon he would abandon you. Speculating in gil.

[And let's face it, Zidane does have a history of up and going off to do his own thing.]
