Where does the part about me being excited that you're planning on doing absolutely nothing yet come in? I'm fine at the palace in Agrabah with Aladdin. It's where I'm supposed to be, it's where I want to be, and so if you don't mind? I'll be going back there now.

I hope so. I wasn't there for long, and it was like no time had passed at my home. I just woke up like normal.

[...

Wait. Ali had said that he dressed as a commoner at times, but there had been that odd tone in his voice. This woman seems amused, too.]

Why did you choose Aladdin over Prince Ali?

That's... not the strangest thing I've seen. I hope it was the same for everyone else.

[ Aladdin too. She'd rather not lose him in places she can't get him back out of. As far as her question went... ]

Between the two, Aladdin was the more honest.

How did you meet Aladdin?

[ Good question. Should she really get into it?

... Why not. ]

I, ah, decided to take an unannounced tour of the city. On my own. It was very interesting, but I wasn't quite paying as much attention as I should have been. We met when I was having a misunderstanding with one of the shopkeepers off the marketplace.

[This is just confirming her suspicions. :| ]

Why would there be a misunderstanding, if you are the princess?

Did I mention this wasn't an official trip?

...so you weren't trying to draw attention to yourself.

[ A nod. ]

I was hoping to pass unnoticed. It was working -- for the most part.

And Aladdin helped you?

Yes, he did. Things got a little... mixed up for a while after that, but they worked out in the end.

How did Prince Ali take it?

Take what?

[ More actual curiosity -- wondering if there's a point to continuing the duplicity Aladdin himself introduced. ]

You choosing this Aladdin over him. He seemed to really like you.

He seemed to handle the disappointment pretty well.

I suppose he would, if he were Aladdin as well.

[Now she's smiling.]

[ Jasmine pauses... then smiles, and laughs. ]

I think I might like you. So you figured it out, then? Aladdin thought he had me entirely fooled.

[ She looks less than pleased over that memory, for a moment. ]

I don't like being lied to, even when I understand why. I'm just happier that eventually he was honest. Hopefully he stays that way.

No, I don't like being lied to either. I am happy for him, though, and for you.

[She pauses.]

Would you tell him that it worked out for me, too?

Thank you. It's really wonderful when you can find that kind of happiness with another person.

Who'll I be passing that message along from?

[...oh right she never gave her name, did she?]

Thesik. He might not even remember me.

I'll tell him, Thesik. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that it worked out for you, too.

He should remember. [ A pause. ] I really think he should. I think you'd be hard for anyone to forget.

[She laughs, glancing down at herself.]

I forgot, your world doesn't have multiple races like mine does. I've been rude, too, not asking for your name, princess.

I hadn't exactly offered it in return when I asked for yours, so I've been rude as well. I'm Jasmine, It's good to meet you, Thesik! I'm happy to meet a friend of Aladdin's, no matter how unusual.

[ Said with enough of a smile as to be attempting to reference what Thesik just had -- the lack of multiple races. ]
