Dictated

[relegate]

So you're celebrating this too Prince? [ and yes, that was her normal human voice 8||| ]

Dictated FOREVER

[withoutablade]

I am. It would be an insult to those passed if I did not.

[ Oh good! Laughing would totally ruin the mood. ]

[relegate]

I guess... I've never really thought about stuff like that so I don't really get the holiday.

[withoutablade]

No? [ He sounds subdued, almost emotional. ]

There is no-one dead you would want to see again?

[forgedinbattle]

[She's just passing by, but she stops in her tracks when she hears that. Wow. He really does have a way with words. She won't say anything and will probably keep walking unless he notices her.]

[withoutablade]

[ How could you NOT notice that hotness? Also, clanky armour. He glances behind himself, almost wincing. Shit...people had heard that. ]

Xena.

[forgedinbattle]

[Yeah, she's aware she just overheard something rather personal. She gives a small nod in greeting.]

Sorry. [She pauses] That was... really nice.

[withoutablade]

[ Thank goodness for the thick makeup. He hesitates, then nods. ]

Thank you. It is not nearly as much as they deserve.

written, as always

[queendramabitch]

That was beautiful.

[withoutablade]

Lucy?

[ Well, that's not so bad. Worse people could have heard it. There's a pause before he responds, thinking it over. ] Thank you. It was only what came to mind at that moment.

[queendramabitch]

[she hears just about everything that gets broadcast over the journals]

Yes, it's Lucy.
You have a gift for words.

[withoutablade]

Hm. It is a gift, I suppose- I had thought myself fairly average when it came to such things, but occasionally the burden of royalty requires something more.

They deserve far better than this, however.
