[on the fussin' overlook]

[sits perched on a rock, staring at the ground, wondering exactly how to handle what happened two weeks ago. She has been avoiding people since then, because really, what does one say to the people one fucked without getting to know them first?]

Well how about that, it's the Virgin Queen. No fucking-related awkwardness here! She kinda hunkers down, maybe she's got a sofa under the skirt.

WHAT TROUBLES YOU, SUBJECT

Public relations, aw yeah.

it's the queen from the forest! She stands up hastily and salutes, an embarrassed blush fighting its way up her face because not only is she being rude but she's being insubordinate, and she didn't hear the Queen coming. She is the worst soldier right now.

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty." It is definitely not appropriate to talk about awkward sexual encounters with royalty. She is certain on that point of etiquette. "I--er, well, I made some very uncharacteristic decisions and I am not entirely certain what I should do about it."

YOU GOT MARRIED, DIDN'T YOU

THAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE SOMETIMES

The queen does that little "at ease soldier" wave thing, she's got admirals, she knows how these things work.

WE CAN GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF, YOU KNOW, she adds more conspiratorially. IF YOU'RE PROTESTANT.

"....Oh dear, does sex equate to marriage here? That would be....awkward."

She adjusts her stance to parade rest.

"I'm not sure what Protestant means? Is that an alliance?" Maybe they have the Returners where this queen is from also.

DUNNO ABOUT THE SEX. MARRIED TO ENGLAND, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.

She offers a proper platonic bro-pat on the shoulder.

ANYWAY AS LONG AS YOU'RE PROTESTING SOMETHING, THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT. I CAN HOOK YOU UP.

"Thank you. I appreciate it." She salutes again.

"What is it like, where you are from? I find it so interesting to know what everyone else's worlds are like."

IT'S COLD AND WET AND I'M THE QUEEN

SPANISH IN PLACES

BIT CRAP REALLY

She chews her lip and gets a shrewd look: that Drake fellow, he got her a colony from the New World and colonies are rad as hell. She likes those.

SO HOW'S YOUR NAVY THEN

Cold and wet sounds perfect, actually.

"We haven't really got a navy. We were more about land wars. Our continent was sufficiently sizable that a navy would really only have become necessary in about five years, and plans were in place to build one, but it doesn't exist yet."

[comes out onto the overlook and perches on a different rock, settling sketchpad in his lap and taking out charcoal pencils to start drawing]

[You make your way towards the overlook and peer over it. Whoa. It's kind of high. You've got nothing to worry about but gosh, there should be like a fence or something built for people who can't fly!

You glance over at the teenager.]

"Hi! What are you drawing?"

[studying the boy in blue. he doesn't act like a threat, but appearances can be deceiving.]

I'm sketching the landscape. It's supposed to be a good meditative practice.

[He talked back so you take that as an invitation to sit beside him.]

Wow, meditation? Are you like a ninja or something?

[he sure looks like one but appearances can be deceiving! You look like you're perpetually ready for bed, after all!]
lifestudies: (that's as big as it gets?)

[personal profile] lifestudies 2012-02-28 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)

I am, yes. [peering at more closely, investigating the sign on yr shirt] Are you? I don't recognize the symbol you're wearing.

[YOU HAVE JUST BEEN MISTAKEN AS A NINJA BY A NINJA HOLY CRAP YOU WISH YOU COULD TELL DAVE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW]

Haha, no! I'm the Heir of Breath and this is the symbol for that. Uhm. It's really pretty complicated!
lifestudies: (...fascinating.)

[personal profile] lifestudies 2012-02-28 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, I see.

[not really a specialist in sensing chakra, but definitely able to tell something is up here.]

It's not just an honorary title, is it? You have some kind of powers.

[personal profile] prankster_gambit 2012-02-28 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah!

[you float of a few inches in the air, before bringing your legs up so you're sitting cross legged.]

And I could call the breeze buuuut that's pretty destructive so I guess I probably shouldn't. It's really cool though!

[oh. Well. this. how does one address this. things not covered in the Imperial Military Handbook sections 1545 to fucking 1547. She didn't actually mean that to sound as literal as it did.]

Good afternoon. [would it be rude to peek at the sketchbook? She's very curious but it is probably rude. Relm never liked her peeking until it was done.] How are you?

Re: [on the fussin' overlook]

[personal profile] lifestudies 2012-02-29 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, hello. I am well.

[looking up from the notebook, smiling]

[if he's smiling he can't be too mad, right? She smiles back.]

I'm well, thank you. May I ask what you're drawing?
lifestudies: (because i have no idea what's going on)

[personal profile] lifestudies 2012-02-29 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[smiles all around! clearly this is a successful conversation.]

I came out here to sketch the landscape. The view here is remarkable.

[personal profile] ice_and_steel 2012-02-29 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
It is. I've never learnt how to draw. Is it difficult?

[okay yes we will go with technical questions. hopefully Sai, unlike Relm, will not throw his charcoal sticks in her face.]
lifestudies: (a matter of perspective)

[personal profile] lifestudies 2012-02-29 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
It takes practice, but it's good observational discipline. My superiors encouraged it as a means of learning to note details in the surrounding area.
ice_and_steel: Celes looking directly at the viewer (Default)

[personal profile] ice_and_steel 2012-03-04 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I can see how that would work. You have to notice things to draw them, right?

[looking with fascination at shapes and shadows] Such things were considered unnecessary indulgence, for me, as long as I could read maps.
