*laughs* Oh, yes. Perfect.

I love the last line, as a note. It's lovely-perfect in the contrast.

Also? Comparing the ADULT Arianhrod to a hand-sized lizard to be used as a bauble? Oh, god, the funny.

Oh, yes. Of all the princesses to think that of . . . :D

Certainly before they tried the hostage-for-good-behaviour ploy. *laughing* Aleron thanks them for the permission to go digging around alllll over their court. ^,..,^

I take it they asked for his oldest daughter? or did they ask for Arianhrod by name?

They asked for his daughter, and neglected to realise that he had two.

I think they're open access to certain accounts and archives ('see, you have access to money and can read anything we say about you, and can read [half] our histories, there's a girl') but in return they get to know exactly where the princess is at all times and are free to assign an escort as they deem necessary. Whereas the twins are just going to prowl, because they are guests of the court and have no restrictions on their movements (so you could kick them out of certain rooms, but then they'd know that there was something you didn't want them to know about in there....).
