♔ douze || now i am indeed queen

[ensorceler]

[Allies & Friends]

Though it is not the way of things, mayhap that is why it will be entirely appropriate in this new realm. This is a prodigious day for myself; indeed for all of England. Whether or not you are loyal to the English crown and country, should you be loyal enough to me as a servant, an ally, or even a friend, I would welcome you to a simple supper I will be having to honor the day His Majesty the King bestowed upon me my crown. Should you choose to come, we will partake before dusk in the castle's own dining hall, where I am most apologetic to inform that no animals will be permitted within for the time being.

~ Anne Boleyn

[ She can't even say 'the day I was made Queen of England', or sign as Anne the Queen, alas her loss foiling everything for her. Regardless, anyone who she thinks is worth inviting will have an invitation delivered to them. ]

[/Allies & Friends]

[ ooc; If you aren't sure if your character would qualify, just PM me and I will say. Plus ones are welcome heck even party crashers are welcome. HERE is the thread for the supper (pile onto character threads/threadjack ahoy)! Elizabeth will be missing, which Anne will investigate afterward. :( ]

Who's to say I don't already?

[At least he's honest about that. As much as he tries to push people away, all he's ever wanted are friends, people who'll give a crap about him, who he can give a crap about in return. He's quick to name people as such, even if it takes him a little longer to consider them trusted]

[ Her smile is sincere as she leans across to rest her hand over his hand, gentle in her grip but still offering a squeeze. ]

I pray no one. I am gladdened to be friends with a man who would not back away for his family, and delighted to see you appreciate love's grace and beauty after all.

[whichwayyoulean]

[He was smiling right up until that last part and oh nooooo]

Errrr which love's grace and beauty would that be?

[He can already guess]

[ensorceler]

For Ted.

[ Why what else would she mean what was that reaction tell her!! Anne squints. ]

Of course.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Oh! Oh, he tries to wipe the panic from his face, even giving an overly loud, overly nervous laugh]

Oh yeah, Ted. Of course.

[ensorceler]

[ It's a poor attempt, especially in the presence of one who has been trained to have a fine-tuned eye for body language and subtext. How else could she have survived this long at least?

Poor man, he is too sweet. Her smile remains, though she pulls her hand away. ]

But I had most hoped you might have escorted some lovely lady to this supper. How is it you do not yet have the women all fawning about you to care for your grievances, Master Once-ler?

[whichwayyoulean]

[He likes to think he's got away with this for a while. It's bad enough Ino's noticed, he'd rather no one else know until he's sorted through his own feelings first]

I had to crawl out from under a pile of them on my way here. You should have seen it.

[ensorceler]

[ A queen is a different kind of ninja. Less jumping, maybe.

She laughs again after finishing off her bite of lamb. ]

Now I expect I must before long!

[whichwayyoulean]

[He'll try to play it cool, that was a close call]

I'll let you know when I hear them come stampeding towards me, just so you can see.

[ensorceler]

When you spot the lady who floats rather than stampedes, you must be certain to share her name. As we are friends, did you not say so yourself?

[whichwayyoulean]

Why would she be floating?

[Why did he ask that. He's already regretting asking that]

[ensorceler]

[ Anne says nothing, merely smiling and chuckling with a teasing tilt of her head before going back to her lamb. Silly man. ]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He likes that smile even less, but he'll let her be for now, hoping it will never ever come up again]
