yeehoo my arcies!

[valois]

I agree, and am gladdened by your patience. I as well appreciate your inclinations to learn my native tongue. Merci. If you will, allow me a tale that my nurses read to me when I was a little one.

Comments

[reiks]

For one whose native tongue is so very different from it, your English is well learnt.

[valois]

Learnt with dedicated honors.

[reiks]

It certainly shows. Your teacher must be very proud.

[valois]

What I learnt from my tutor, and what I learnt from my husband.

[reiks]

[ oop- husband. tone it down, princey. ]

They have taught you very well. I hope it was not too difficult.

[valois]

My Hal makes his jokes, but I am flattered by his humors.

[reiks]

Your Hal, is he? He sounds like a fine man. Though I hope not too troublesome.

[valois]

What trouble he causes, he receives retribution in return.

[reiks]

As he would certainly deserve, if he were to cause distress to such a fine wife.

[valois]

He knows that I hold no sympathies for his boyish plights. Neither do I accept any playful torments.

[reiks]

A troublemaker indeed, it seems. Be firm with him, as you are.

[valois]

Rest assured. As his wife and the mother of his child, I am nothing but firm.

[reiks]

[ a mother as well! he nods, polite and formal. ] My congratulations to you and your family.

[valois]

[ she nods in return. ] My thanks. [ Turns her head to look over shoulder, then looks back to the man. ] I must go now. The ladies of the Head's Space are holding a card playing, and I aim to win back my slippers.

[reiks]

[ aw :< pretty lady leaving. but, a proper bow, then. ] God keep thee, my good lady. Be as firm with the ladies as you are with your family.

[valois]

[ From someone not Katherine, a boot flies overhead and aims at Hal's head. The raucous laughter of women conspiring. Katherine sighs at the display. ]

'Twas that necessary, Milady?

[ Laughter. ]

C'mon, Kate! Zelda made Bloody Marys!

[reiks]

[ Hal thanks his reflexes for allowing the boot to narrowly miss his royal noggin. But he stays ducked, hands up in defense. ]

I beg of you, dear lady, please return to their festivities! Lest they decide to throw the table at me next.

[valois]

Oooh! Oooh! Let me try!

[ Katherine chuckles. ]

Be wary.

[ Table flies over head. ]

The wild one plays dirty.

[reiks]

[ Yikes- backing away, point taken ladies! ]

I meant no harm, oh ladies fair, I swear it!

I take my leave, and I beg of you to leave the rest of the furniture where it is.

[valois]

[ a young lady in blue pops out of the walls and reaches out, grabbing Katherine's hands, pulling her back. ]

'Nough dillydallying with the brothel bores, Kate. Hurry before Emilie steals all the good cheeses and wines and leaves us with that terrible ale that Zelda's husband drinks. Brothel bores are for their scores. [ the young lady sticks her tongue out at Hal over Kate's shoulder. ]

That goes for the both of you.

[mischief_maker]

...Sigyn.

[ A certain Norsegod standing not too far behind her arms crossed over his chest and why yes his helm is on.] Really my love?

I HAVE AN ICON FOR THIS

[fotlenke]

[ Sigyn relinquishes Kate, sticking her tongue out. ] Whatever you do, do not touch his hands!

Oh god thats beautiful!

[mischief_maker]

Sigyn [ He repeated giving her a look. Come on he was having fun with watching this too, but it was more fun to watch Sigyn be the trouble maker for once.]

Must you crush the poor girls dreams?

Sasha is beautiful!

[fotlenke]

You want her to touch the hands that have been in a brothel wench's drawers? [ she puts a hand to her temple, and tilts her head back, feigning faintness ] What sinfulness!

[mischief_maker]

Sinfulness spices things up love. Besides he's a king or too be one. Let the lady have her fun while she can.

Besides if you come home with me I'll show you some sinfulness of our own.

[fotlenke]

[ She lights up, smirking. ]

Well then... [She tackles her husband from behind, clinging to him like a baby koala. ] Away we go, my steed!

[mischief_maker]

[ He just smiles and shakes his head at her. Though he was clearly amused with her antics, an arm going around his little Koala of a wife. Leading them on off.]

Of course my pretty Mare. < Small >[ Hey she started it.]
