A while ago, Helen asked me if I were starting a petting zoo. I did say no, and I'm still not going to do it. The reason I'm making this clear, though is, um.

[...video comes on, and you have a screen full of horse. It's a pale horse - not quite white, but more of a light gold. And it's uncommonly beautiful, if young. ...Priscilla's little ( Read more... )

Speaking of the Patrol--

Priscilla, do you have a moment?

[ voice | private ] yetsleeping February 27 2011, 23:57:39 UTC

Yes, of course. Is something wrong?

[ voice | private ] valdecet February 28 2011, 00:00:51 UTC

Not exactly, but I wish to know what the protocol is for a Patrol member wishing to take some time off.

[ voice | private ] yetsleeping February 28 2011, 00:02:36 UTC

Oh! Well, that's no problem, they would just tell me and I'd assign a temporary replacement!

At least a horse is practical. Which is more than I can say for those little foxes.

Voice yetsleeping February 28 2011, 00:00:35 UTC

Well... the foxes are more for companionship. The horse is for [Naming after Arthur.] err! More... things!

Voice strongarmed February 28 2011, 00:13:02 UTC

Riding, perhaps?

Voice yetsleeping February 28 2011, 00:46:04 UTC

Exactly! Riding and pulling things!

Oi, you do know that a horse eats like a horse.

Video yetsleeping February 28 2011, 00:01:04 UTC

I hope so! I mean, horses shouldn't eat like... I don't know. Cows?

Video applelimber February 28 2011, 00:12:09 UTC

I'm just saying. Because anything that eats like a horse, does other things like a horse.

Video yetsleeping February 28 2011, 00:47:35 UTC

Errr.

Helen!

"Arthur". It sounds so generic.

Fond of Arthurian lore, are you?

yetsleeping February 28 2011, 05:37:19 UTC

...Arthurian lore? I... don't really know what that is.

theotokos February 28 2011, 05:44:06 UTC

You never heard of it? You just mentioned Arthur Pendragon, didn't you? He was the famous king of Camelot.

yetsleeping February 28 2011, 05:47:31 UTC

Oh that was... he did come from Camelot. I... don't know anything about any lore, though.

Arthur was my closest friend, and my second in command.

...he was kind of ridiculous! But he was good. So I thought it would be nice to um, remember him.

With a horse.

[a quiet clearing of the throat.]

Regarding the patrol...

[...blink. She stays quiet for just a moment longer than comfortable.]

Yes... Clare?

Video. onequarter February 28 2011, 10:10:42 UTC

I would like to volunteer myself as Teresa's partner.

[Priscilla stares at the screen for a long moment, and then immediately switches to Private.]

Did Deneve send you?

If it's entirely about Teresa, I don't care. But I've already told Deneve that if she attempts to info-gather about me like a damned coward again - if she sends her spies anywhere near me again, there will a reckoning.

I know your loyalty is neither to me nor to the work we were made to do. That, in itself, I don't especially care about. But if anything I do or say ends up with that woman, Clare, I--

[Her voice shakes. And for a moment, she looks as though she's about to cry. It's impossible to tell whether it's sadness or rage. But she presses her lips together, and her gaze hardens.]

--no. I'm not having it. Not again.

With that in mind, can I trust you?
