Fifty-fourth Song || Video/Action for Goldenrod

[restardom]

[ Anyone who's been around Rise for the past few days or so might notice that she hasn't seemed like herself. She's been quieter, not as readily found, and tends to disappear from the house without saying anything.

Today is another such day, but she certainly doesn't seem as subdued today. Maybe it's because it looks as though she's busying

[tiercelet]

[He's noticed her change in moods, of course, seeing her as often as he does, but he won't pry...yet. No, he'll just make himself comfortable on the bench next to her once he finds her hiding place.]

So... a fire alarm? I hope Rosemary doesn't have anything to do with this.

[restardom]

... Oh yeah, that tournament... [ with a reminiscent smile. ] And you thought it was some kinda knight thing.

[tiercelet]

All of the tournaments back home are knight things. Can't blame me for thinking that way, can you?

[restardom]

Sure I can, it's more fun that way.

[ teasingly. ]

[tiercelet]

[Nudge!] Now you're just poking fun. I take back what I said about you being nice.

[restardom]

Eeeeeh? But I'm the nicest!

[tiercelet]

Not right now, you aren't. [Lightly pokes at her side.] A truly nice Lady wouldn't be laughing at my error. And, just think! I was actually worried you'd get hurt fighting in a tournament.

[restardom]

[ that earns him a little squeak, and she swats at his hand. ]

No, no, I was honored!

[tiercelet]

[Dodges the swatting and pokes her side again, grinning.]

Honoured to be fighting in the tournament? Careful, Rise, you're already sounding like one of them.

[restardom]

Didn't you know? I'm all about nobility.

[tiercelet]

[He chuckles, finally withdrawing and lacing his hands together in his lap.] You know...I think you and Arthur could have gotten along pretty well. It's a shame he left before you could talk more.

[restardom]

I liked him! I mean, once we got to talking.

[tiercelet]

You...talked? [Why wasn't he aware of this.] About what?

[restardom]

That's a secret!

[tiercelet]

...it was about me, wasn't it.
