Not exactly... it's this. [she taps her necklace] It's been passed down through my family, but usually, it gives us powers.

[duranduel]

Powers...?

[There's another pause...he almost looks confused? But then he clears his throat.]

Oh, now that is interesting. A magical artifact! My armor was one such thing. There are many such objects in the world with abilities...and what does yours bequeath to you? Invulnerability? Strength?

[wtfox]

Super strength and the ability to fly - and to hide my identity, too, while I'm using it. [she puts a hand over it.] I can trust you to keep it secret, right?

[duranduel]

[A thoughtful sort of look.]

If you are to entrust me with such a thing...mmm. I suppose I shall let it stay under lock and key in my own heart.

[He places a hand against his own chest.]

You have my word, as king.

[wtfox]

I appreciate it, Your Highness!

[she smiles


what the fuck is the etiquette for thanking a king. is she supposed to curtsy. oh well.]

[duranduel]

[A nod at that!]

I could hear better words of appreciation...but this will do for now.

[wtfox]

[she giggles]

What would you prefer to hear, then?

[duranduel]

Why do you ask me that? What, do I provide my own shower of compliments? Pah! You speak nonsense.

[wtfox]

I want to make sure I tell you things you want to hear! And so I don't accidentally say something that sounds condescending...

[duranduel]

This is your own problem, and therefore I shall relieve myself of it.

[wtfox]

[


pfffft.]

If you say so, Your Highness!

[duranduel]

Eh, don't laugh! This is hardly a laughing matter!

[wtfox]

Yes, yes, you're right.

[she takes a breath. whew! not laughing!]
