suuure up to you (though i'm not quite @ that point in ls - i read bl first oop)

[he does think his aunt was a better ruler than some people gave her credit for but -- ] Our government needed a new voice, cousin. Yours might not be the loudest, but I think it's the most evenhanded.

Her coronation is the last thing that happens <3

[Lissa would have liked to get to know her better.]

I agree, but I never expected it to be mine.

[She laughs, though.]

[cherryslush]

[ adrian thinks she would have been happy to have you as a successor - maybe not as happy that you won't have legions of beautiful moroi superbabies together in addition to being queen but aunts can't control everything ]

Nah, but everyone loves an underdog. They did vote you in, didn't they?

[dragomir]

Yeah. They did.

[And she sounds pretty darn proud of that, too. She had to pass those trials in order to get where she was, and plenty of the nominees didn't even get that far.]

I can't let them all down.

[cherryslush]

I doubt you could if you tried. [ he doesn't think she'd do that either though, considering that it's lissa ]

Besides, if they really thought you weren't qualified enough, they probably could have come up with a loophole from some ancient book in the archives that nobody's bothered to read. And now that they have, they'll have your guardian to contend with - as well as the rest of your supporters. [ he tries to be cheerful, though saying rose's name aloud is still just painful enough to be unmanageable ]
