Canon's Once Upon a Mattress: well we did make a promise, Winifred! Voicetest!

[moatswimming]

We did, munnie! And I'm always up for a little adventure, but this is quite a while away from Woebegone. It's enough to make a queen throw her weight around!

No no, don't be scared - I'm not a beheading sort of queen! I'm more of a wave-from-the-carriage-and-smile-while-you-kiss-a-corgi-queen!

Really? Not even one laugh?

I already miss Dauntless.

Don't despair, my lady. None of these muns have a sense of humor!

[moatswimming]

Boy, tell me about it! This one hasn't even been to a swamp, can you imagine?

[justalittlewhile]

But Corgis are so precious. I can hardly see how that would be a punishment, Princess Winnifred.

Hi!

[moatswimming]

Oh no! The corgis wouldn't be punishment, Larkin.

Sitting still would be!

Hello!

[justalittlewhile]

Oh? What would be the punishment, then?

[moatswimming]

Welll....

[Mischievous smile.]

...I might force them to watch Queen Aggravain's pantomimes.

[It's a bit cruel to mock her mother-in law, but she DID go through a lot of aggravation to get here.]

[justalittlewhile]

Oh!

[She gasps, her hands clapping in front of her mouth. Despite her shocked tone, there is a slight smirk on her lips.]

That sounds a much more suitable punishment.

[And Winifred doesn't MEAN to be cruel, it's just that the queen put her through so much, and she still has to see the woman at social functions now and again.]

If I can live through Sunday dinner with her, the mun can live through high tea.
