Dusting off a desert princess!

[threadlaidbare]

Is it not fate, dearest Mundane, that our paths should cross again like this? You grow restless as the sands of time persist in their ceaseless flow -- day by day, grain by grain -- and thus it is not so surprising that you should seek out those with whom contact has been lost.

Surely, then, you will understand that I, too, wish to be reunited with those people who I once had the honor of calling my companions... those who I learned to call my friends.

It is a matter of course that you will require a certain period during which to refresh your memory. I wholeheartedly support your endeavors, but I would ask that you work swiftly, for you are not alone in feeling restless.

Does the queen find the throne ill-fitting?

[threadlaidbare]

I suppose there is a part of me now that feels somewhat discontent. The throne grants power and mobility only within the confines of a narrow role, while I fear my spirit retains a wanderlust ill befitting a queen.

That surprises me not. Perhaps your time spent in the company of sky pirates is to blame, but I would say that you had already possessed it.

While I have tried to blame many passing trifles on my over-exposure to sky pirates -- and on one uncouth sky pirate in particular -- I believe what you say is true.

You will find no shortage of adventure here. There are many would-be kidnappers to choose from.

I'm so glad to see a familiar face around here.

It certainly is a relief. I'd begun to fear I might never see any of you again!
