'cause everything is never as it seems;

[persequor]

[ The journals catch the sound of a warning hiss and a frustrated growl. A pattering of feet and yowling follow. For anyone in the ballroom, you'll see a girl with a grumpy looking cat in her arms. She smiles down at it. ]

Told you I could catch you.



(( ooc: feel free to claim the cat as your character's own if they have one ♥ ))

[Complete bafflement.]

Why wouldn't they?

[persequor]

Because that's not the point of marriage. No one would ever marry for love. You marry and then love comes. [ As it did with her parents. ] How do you not know that?

[fantasies]

That doesn't make any sense. What if you're not meant to be with whoever you end up marrying?

[persequor]

Is this a jape? [ She will punch him if it's a jape. ]

[fantasies]

No, it's not a... whatever that is.

[persequor]

You don't know what a jape is?

[ No wonder he likes that stupid woman so much. He's as big an idiot. ]

[defensively:]

Nobody says that where I'm from.

[persequor]

Nobody teaches you right either.

[fantasies]

They teach me fine.

[persequor]

For a girl.

[fantasies]

For anybody. Just because they teach you different stuff in your world doesn't make it any better than mine.

[persequor]

You don't know anything about my world. Keep your stupid princess. I've met real royalty. [ And they butchered everyone she knew where they stood. ] That's not a story for girls; it's a story for stupid babies.

[ She leaves. ]
