5th Royal Decree

[solarhussyalert]

Action 747 Partridge Drive

[Lym headed out in the morning, not wanting anything to do with school, and looking at a box with her name on it. Poking it.]

Ok, I got the sun rune, what horrible thing is in you today?

Action Downtown - Bakery

[School is for chumps, chumps who aren't dressed like the Queen of Felenas. Chumps who aren't going to get cookies. She doesn't quite understand the money thing but she's headed for the bakery for something to eat. Eventually she'll get there and peer around.]

Hey! Is this the place where the chef makes cookies?

Phone

[Ok, she's holding it upside down so she's kind of hard to hear]

Hey! Does anyone know anything to do here other than that school thing? Its been kind of really boring here.

Isn't making bowls something artisans and stuff do?

[boggle]

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

Seriously, kid?

It's a game. There are ten pins set up at the end of a lane, then you pick a ball and throw it down the lane to knock the pins over.

And I don't mean pin that you put on your clothes. They're about a foot tall and are stood up on the ground.

[Explanations had never been his thing.]

No one ever taught you to bowl? What'd you do for fun back home?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I usually watch my bodyguard make the other queen's knights be all paranoid? I don't really have a lot of time for fun stuff back home, there's a whole government I have to deal with.

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

You really do need to get out and have some fun then. Was there ever anything back home that you wanted to go out and do, but couldn't? Something fun, that is.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

You mean like go outside the palace? I've been outside here. Its no fun, there are a lot of dangerous weirdos out there.

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

There's a lot of dangerous weirdos everywhere, girly. Doesn't mean you should lock yourself away in some tower, just find someone you trust to go places with you.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I DO need to make Brother come out more. He's so afraid of anyone coming to see him because of someone he lives with.

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

See, you've got a good escort right there with you. No reason to hide from the fun stuff because you're afraid of getting hurt with him around.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I'm not the one who's afraid, HE's the one afraid of me going to his house.

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

Your brother is afraid of you?

What'd you do to the poor guy? Scare off his girlfriend?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

No...

[Dot eyes]

He's afraid of the guy the town has him living with. I'm LIVING with his Girlfriend!

[Flail]

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

If he's so afraid, why doesn't he put him in his place?

[He feels kind of sorry for her brother; sister and girlfriend under one roof, poor guy.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Cause everybody here gets better the next morning and he's a homicidal lunatic?

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

Can't you just hurt him really bad, and make sure he stays injured?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I'm a 12 year old girl with no combat training, and my army isn't here. My ability to hurt people is very limited.

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

[Twelve? He sighs]

Yeah, the tavern is definitely outta the question for you, kiddo.

What about your brother, can't he do some damage? Or your brother's girlfriend? Or any friends that they've made in town?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I know a few people but not many. People are running around screaming a lot or trying to kill each other so I'm a little wary of going out too much.

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

Well, at least you've got your brother and his girlfriend, then, I guess.

It seems like it's kind of safe right after all the screaming dies down, at least for a week, that is.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

True, but the screaming then starts up at weird intervals. And sometimes its not even the town that starts all the screaming, it just happens.

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, y'know, if you can't beat 'em, you gotta join 'em.

And maybe even you can lead 'em and make it better?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Running a country required a lot of advisers and things. Its not like you can just decide things arbitrarily, if you do the people aren't happy, then the kingdom suffers, there are revenue problems, you can't keep your military together. Basically everything goes bad if you don't have the necessary support structure in place.

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

[He'll never admit it, but as she was saying that he was taking mental notes. If he wanted to rule back home someday, her words might be useful.]

Yeah, yeah, but you don't gotta worry about that here. Relax and have some fun, let your hair down while you can.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Eh! But I have too much hair to put up!

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

You could always cut it off, not like it would hurt you.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

No, its part of my image as queen. I'm not really supposed to.
