I've had Rajah since he was a kitten. He was my first and only friend. {She sighs quietly, fiddling with an apple.} I'm going to miss him, Mun. I know he couldn't come with me. It wouldn't have been safe for him. Still...

{Curling up in a corner, she rests her chin on her knees.}

I just want freedom. Why is that so wrong?

[cursedtosleep]

Wanting to be free isn't wrong, Jasmine.

[a_whole_new_world]

How do you know my name?

[cursedtosleep]

My writer informed me of your name. But it isn't wrong to want freedom.

[a_whole_new_world]

Except when you're a Princess.

[tavern_bum]

Is something keeping you from being free?

[a_whole_new_world]

Duties... Obligations...

Being a Princess is... {She ends that thought with a soft groan, closing her eyes.}

I'm not even allowed to choose who I want to marry.

[tavern_bum]

Ah. Nobility. I know what you mean. Too many rules for too many thing. I'm glad I don't have to deal with that sort of thing.

[a_whole_new_world]

Sometimes I think the commoners are better off than me. {Even if that thought is a bit naive.} They can go where they want, love who they want...

You're lucky.

[princessofjustice]

...but you don't look like a prisoner, Miss!

[a_whole_new_world]

Prisons come in many forms.

[princessofjustice]

You look like royalty, thou--

[And then it catches up with Amelia just what Jasmine's getting at.]

...oh.

[a_whole_new_world]

I am. {Jasmine curls her hands in her lap, sighing quietly.} The law states that I must be married by my sixteenth year.

[glassworkgenius]

Augh, I hear you. Being cooped up is the worst.

[a_whole_new_world]

Are you forced to remain secluded?

[glassworkgenius]

Yeah, I spend a lot of time just in one room. It's so boring I literally get itchy!

[a_whole_new_world]

Who keeps you there?

Hai thar Jasmine~ xD

[heartisabattleground]

[Sora frowns a little bit. He knows what it's like to want freedom, he just hopes his friend (yes he met you, in his own crazy universe) doesn't do anything too bad to get it.]

Just follow your heart, Jasmine. That'll lead you where you should go.

Hai!

[a_whole_new_world]

I wish it was that simple. {She frowns and sits down on the edge of a fountain.} Every suitor I've met would be impossible to live with.

Re: Hai!

[heartisabattleground]

Forget about the suitors and stuff. What's your heart telling you to do now?

[seethelanterns]

Freedom from what?

[But. Well, considering she grew up never leaving the tower, she can relate, if Jasmine means to have the freedom to go outside.]

[a_whole_new_world]

My obligations...

{She wants that too.}

I've never seen the world outside of the palace. {Except for that one attempt where she met Aladdin.}

[seethelanterns]

I had never been outside my tower until I met Flynn.

[alwaystraveling]

If I guess correctly, it's because other people's worldviews and plans would be upset if you had it. That doesn't actually make what you want wrong.

[a_whole_new_world]

It's the law. All Princesses must be married by their sixteenth birthday. {She's clearly disgusted by it.} If I marry, I want to marry for love.

[alwaystraveling]

Love is the most wonderful thing humans do. It's repulsive that such a thing as getting life partner is used primarily for other ends throughout history.
