No. I do not need any man in my life, do you understand?

Did you forget who and what I am? Cease this foolishness at once, there are things to be doing. Like dealing with that horrible woman before she causes any more problems.

[.....]

Desist giggling, I do not think about him all the time. He's just very nice... company. And can you find something else for me to do, besides sewing? I'm becoming utterly bored.

Someone has caught the Queen's eye?

[fjeiajfdksajfeafdska. Must. Deny. Everything.]

No, not at all. Just idle fancy.

Oh? Shall I talk to him for you? See if he thinks of you at all?

[Oh, God. She'd never wanted to sink so far into the floor in the hopes it swallowed her whole before.]

No, really. That is not necessary. At all.

If you are sure... I do want to see you happy, m'lady.

[Oh curse it, why does he have to be like that? She just doesn't know how to deal-- ]

... I am very happy, your grace. You make me very happy with your company.

[Because. She is an attractive, nice, royal woman and he would very much like to not upset her.]

I am glad I can make you happy when I visit. Is there anything you need from town this week?

[That isn't helping. ;; fdsajfkdsajfs. Sob.]

Please don't ever doubt it.

... and no, not unless you can magically teach me the native tongue in a matter of hours, so I could go find a party to socialise at and dress up for. But short of miracles occurring, I'd greatly just like your company. You might even beat me at cards.

Speaking of parties... Did you find the package I left at your door all right? I hoped it was not stolen before you were able to get it.

[Nope, not blushing, much. Erg, damn you Cross]

I did. It was... very beautiful. Where ever did you get a dress like that?

[Or get her measurements for that matter.]

[Oh... That's adorable.]

Oh good. It is amazing what one can find while browsing through shops on a boring day.

[Lizzie... You were soaked to the bone and in your underthings around him before. It wasn't hard to do a quick, mental measurement of you.]

[Sob. Make it stop. Why does she have to be so pale and it be so obvious? She's just going to stare at his feet.]

But it must of cost a King's ransom...? You should not spend so on me...

[Don't remind her, she'll just blush more.]

[Aw don't do that... He likes to see it.]

It was not that much. Besides I can be very persuasive.

[Guuuh. Stop it. It feels strange being looked at like that. Floor, why aren't you hiding her like she told you too?]

I'll bet you can. Do I want to know what persuasive methods you used?

More problems?! Excuse me, lady, I'm sorry I hurt your precious feelings but you aren't the one who gets to starve for two weeks and deal with food poisoning!

Mun, shut up. You can't convince me that Queenie is really "a good person."

I am sorry his grace did that to you, I would of stopped him had I not been so angry I stopped listening. I'll do what I can to help you should you come and talk to me, my lady. But I kindly ask you do not call me a whore again.

... Mun's giggling at you too now. I hope you're pleased.

[That cools her down a bit, but not much.]

Well, you didn't stop him. And no offense, Queenie, but I think we might have a little accident if I "come and talk to you" again.

Did I call you a whore? [She can't remember.] Fine, strike that.

Yeah, yeah. Every time my mun tags between you and I, I hear giggling. As if my suffering is funny.

No. I didn't. But I will do what I can to fix it, and that is probably as far as I can tell the difference between us.

You may as well have. Whore's solicit sex for favour. I've been called every version of it, that I can honestly say I feel like striking the person who does.

[There is a roll of her eyes.]

It's completely insufferable, isn't it?

[Yeah, she'll admit to that, Liz. Lin doesn't like to admit when she's wrong much.]

I had to be sure! Someone getting one up over me because of sex just infuriates me... It's almost considered normal in my time and I hate it as much as you do, lady. Trust me.

Does saying "yes" mean I'm agreeing with you over something? Tch.

[... Which is very strange, because Elizabeth has the power to arrest people and have them executed, and she does admit she's wrong on occasion.]

That's a poor justification and you should know that. It lacks any kind of intelligence and discretion, and we may not like each other, but I did not think you're stupid.

Apparently.

[Makes sense. As a defense attorney, Lin's the one preventing criminals from getting executed..... "My client was acting in self-defense, your honour! Really!"]

Sorry, can't think of a polite way to ask "hey, pretty woman, do you happen to be sleeping with this powerful man you seem to have taken quite a liking to?!"

...Look. It wasn't supposed to get... so personal. [Lin bites her lip. Not quite apologizing, here, but.]

You could, actually. It's rather simple and forgive me if I am wrong, you know how to use your words already. I understand it, because it's common in my time. A woman's power is determined almost entirely by the man she beds. [Eyebrow raise.]

.... No, it wasn't. But it is now. And I am hesitant at all to talk to you.

...Hmph. [Damn, if it was that easy to ask, she really blew it.]

It's the same to you. Any word out of my mouth now could have the general starving me longer, or worse. I hate having a man think he has power over me, you know that?!

You won't sick him on me yourself, will you?

I know probably better then most. I'm a Queen in a time when I am considered fundamentally weaker, and more useless just because of my sex, where my mother was beheaded because I was not a boy and daughters are traded like cattle to advance men. Where my enemies think the only reason I have any power is because I sleep with my lords. even when those Lords are good men. I do not know where I find the time to service nearly 200 and more men, but there it is.

I understand your frustration, but he only became angry with you because you threatened us.

... and no, I would not. I doubt Cross could be 'sicked' on anyone. He's not a dog, and in any case, he's not my dog. He's not my anything. [sadfaic. :(]

[He doesn't know how to stop?]

Probably not... I will not use them on you though, m'lady.

[She hasn't been so over aware of herself. Almost as much as she's constantly aware of him.]

Then how would you persuade me?

[He's a bit fail over how she affects him too.]

I would not try to. Unless it was necessary.

[Just going to fiddle with her ring now, something else to look at while she's trying to hide her smile.]

You wouldn't need to. All you'd have to do is ask me. I'd be... so happy to help with whatever you needed.

Oh? So if I asked you to spend a weekend with me across the river to meet some of or supporters you would?

[A whole weekend, alone? Oh god. Blushing again, but even worse now. Her face was practically burning, or at least it felt like that.]

Of course, to help everyone of course I would...
