[Elizabeth turned to look at the boy who addressed her so casually. She lifted a brow at his question. He spoke English and didn't know who she was? Was this boy such an uneducated peasant? How unfortunate. Still Bess was not a fool, this was the first boy she had come across in this excuse for a village. She straightened her shoulders and gazed at Freud for a long moment before softening her gaze the slightest amount.]

Indeed, boy. We are Queen Elizabeth, Queen of England and Ireland.

[virgo_regina]

Excuse you? [A what? A "clone" of her? Elizabeth lifted her chin just a little.] Do not speak nonsense.

[lilcharmedwitch]

That was a lovely speech.
[Glad to see another british woman here. Hm, she seemed rather familiar, but she couldn't place it. Gwendolen has never really much paid attention to history lessons]

[virgo_regina]

[A child? Elizabeth didn't soften her gaze on the girl. No, a young woman. Young women were such fickle and untrustworthy things sometimes. And what a rude child. Elizabeth ignores her. She does not have time for rude children.]

[virgo_regina]

Elizabeth gazed all around her and tried to ascertain the country she might be in... if she had even left England at all. Was someone fool enough to leave her "stranded" in England? She may not have every subject faithful to her cause but her people would never harm her! She heard footsteps behind her and she slowly turned to look at the man that was behind her.

He was... dressed oddly, certainly, nothing she had ever seen before, and he was just staring at her. He didn't lower his eyes. She was used to making people dumbstruck, she made sure she did just that. A slender red-brow rose at Arthur's staring. She would only permit this for a little longer. Truly, Elizabeth allowed herself the time to gather her wits as well.

[virgo_regina]

A slender brow rose. Well, the man knew her, an improvement and greeted her... with some manners. She gave the slightest incline of her chin. Even though people had to learn to read her moods and the slightest movements she made, this... man, didn't know how to read her. She clasped her hands in front of her, not in a sign of politeness but a pose taken by those who had proud shoulders.

"You are?"

[maraudingprongs]

With all due respect... [And she seemed to be very convinced that she deserved loads,] ...there's only one of you, hey.

[We? Us? This place got wonkier by the day.]

Probably isn't much help, but you've not been kidnapped, at least. None of use really know how we got here, but the going story is that you're dreaming this all up. Cheers.

[She turned to look at James and gazed at him with an even gaze. He was practically in his undergarments with how little he wore. "Only one of..." oh, how amusing. The boy was ignorant of the Royal "We!" Was this boy living under a rock? Or was this village just that ignorant?]

Dreaming? [No, not ignorant, poor boy was just mad.]

[maraudingprongs]

That's what they'll tell you, anyway. Take it as you will. S'not much for comfort, but at least there aren't any villains in the story.

[He quirked a smile at the woman, hands finding his pockets.]

James Potter, by the by.

[Bess couldn't help but note that the boy slurred. She lifted a slender brow at his introduction. Was she really going to have to introduce herself? What sort of world had she come to, truly? A dream indeed! But shouldn't her own dreams know who she was?]

We are Queen Elizabeth of England and Ireland. [For now, she would humor the child.]

[As far as England goes, Ken is aware of several key points.

[1. It's an island off the coast of Europe;

[2. They invented English, and he remembers enough of his middle-school language lessons to really wish they hadn't;

[and 3. Their soccer team was good in 1966, but that was a long time ago and now they can mostly be reliably counted on to get knocked out in the quarter-finals of just about everything they enter.

[The end result is he has absolutely no idea what he's looking at.]

[virgo_regina]

[It would seem Somarium has no idea how to handle royalty... or even look in a history book because Queen Elizabeth I isn't exactly some no name monarch of England. But she didn't know that right now. All Bess knew was that some boy was just staring at her as if he were her equal. She met his gaze with a steady one of her own.]

Well?

[insorrow]

Are you a cosplayer?

[... seriously, it's the only explanation he can think of for that everything. After all, Ken has no more way of knowing what an Elizabethan English outfit looks like than he has any way of knowing what was in fashion in sub-Sahara about that era, and probably couldn't precisely pinpoint what style of kimono everyone was in then, either...

[For him, there's just no other context for this.]

[virgo_regina]

[He addressed her so causally! Elizabeth gazed at this... practically naked child with an odd mix of pity and disdain. Pity, that this boy was clearly mentally ill, and disdain that he was before her anyways.]

You dare address Us so informally?
