My Lady Mundane,

We have been here before, have we not? 

[there's a faint smirk] And yet, you persist. Well, there is merit in that I suppose. Though if we're really going about this again, I suggest you hold yourself with a little bit more decorum about it.

I don't care what my privateers do, getting drunk and posting with me is not appreciated. I deserve a little more dignity then that.

[So would Elizabeth, she'd been poorly fed and clothed more then once, she knows better then many would think. But she doesn't like telling people she had ever been afraid of anything. There was more at stake then just her happiness and her well being.] I cannot say for you, but I have seen many die for those that were both well off, and were exceedingly poor. Their dignity was the only possession they had left.

[she raises her eyebrows just slightly, it's a first that no one knows what a Queen is.] A Queen is like a King, that is, I am the ruler of the people of England and Ireland. That is the land I live in, and the land beside me. I say I rule France, but only in name, mostly it belongs to the King they have there. There is a long feud between us you could say, not that it really matters. But mostly for the people of England and Ireland, I am the protector, their jury, their rewarded, and their executioner. They give me their loyalty and I try, as much as I am able, to see to their best interests.

[She's failed at that recently, but she's seen them through her failure as well.]

[Katniss arches that eyebrow again, but it comes with a respectful nod.] So have I. Some have died without it. [She's seen people die with dignity - she's also seen them eaten alive by horrific animals.]

[She bites her tongue before she asks 'What's a King?' and let's the woman finish.] Oh ... so you're like a President. [She doesn't think much of Presidents. She's killed two of them. Still, this woman seems to legitimately have compassion] I've never heard a leader speak that way before. You know, like you care. [Blunt, that's Katniss.]

[She's just not going to talk about her sister. That's uncomfortable at best, and a horrific memory for her people. They need to trade stories these two, one day.]

It seems it is my turn, pray tell me what is a 'President'? [There's another bow of her head at that.] I'm not surprised, most leaders do not care so much. But, it is the love of my people that makes me strong, and to earn their love is my endeavour. If I did not, I would be dead.
