On reserving him at Beastly Roses

[buffing]

...Look, you wanna put me somewhere, and I get that. But come on, look at me! And more importantly, look at my rap sheet.

I ain't exactly a fairy tale prince is what I'm saying.

How hard could it be? Just, you know, slay a dragon or something. Then she's morally obligated, right? Isn't that how fairy tales work?

((She might be teasing. But she also might be 100% serious. It's sort of hard to tell with Leaf.))

It would certainly make things interesting...but little more than that.

[Because clearly what this entire conversation needs is Kevin's former four-armed fiancee. Who happens to be a princess from hell]

He'd still have to defeat the princess, after all. Otherwise the marriage would be a complete fraud!

[notpassedinsleep]

You know, you don't usually get princesses like that in fairy tales... but I wouldn't object. It'd be totally cool to watch a princess beat up all her suitors.

Is it, now?

['SUP KEVIN. GUESS WHO'S PAYING ATTENTION TO YOU NOW.]

[notpassedinsleep]

Yeah. I mean, my best friends are boys, so I've grown up having to assert my authority over them, you know? Girls beating the crap out of guys is something really close to my heart. ((And here are the dramatics, as she places a hand over her heart.))

Well, that's exactly how marriage works on Khoros! Tetramandian women only marry the strongest suitors, so any proposal must be through the rite of combat! If they win, we accept!

[There's a long, dreamy sigh at this. Which is somewhat jarring, coming from someone over eight feet tall and capable of wielding heavy construction equipment as a weapon.]

It's so romantic! Of course, others can challenge our union the same way. And, female to female, I'm only going to warn you once about trying to steal any of my potential husbands. Because I will not hesitate to break every bone in your frail human body. Sound fair?

[notpassedinsleep]

Oh-- don't worry, I'm not really looking to be tied down to a husband for a while. You can keep all your potential suitors.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I couldn't come close to defeating anyone who could defeat someone as powerful as you.

[buffing]

Wh--! Come on! I'm not a suitor! I thought we were done! I'm totally unworthy of a, uh, robust and conquering warrior like you!

[tough_love]

Maybe I'm feeling nostalgic.

[More likely: she's just feeling up to terrifying teasing him.]

[buffing]

Nostalgic for what? I think we've spent a grand total of two hours together, at most!

[tough_love]

But we battled, didn't we? And you never did give me a rematch.

[She seems oddly pouty about this. It's faked of course, but she does want to beat Kevin in a fight. If only to further prove his unworthiness as a husband.]

[notpassedinsleep]

And here I thought you were super rough and rugged and used to being a tough guy. Way to lead a girl on.
