[Action] Alfitaria, Edge's chambers

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Edge is sleeping fitfully after knowledge of Edward's upcoming marriage. He's watching as every eligible maiden is vying to be the next Queen of Eblan. Surprisingly, he's not enamored with the idea and he's continually looking for a certain summoner. He keeps tossing around in the bed as brushes off advance after advance in his sleep.]

[the feed begins almost mid-thought, pointed at the ground. There's a flash of a pair of armored shoes, the camera shaking about. The hall is darkened, but it's still easy to see that it's a palace -- decorative carpeting down the hall. And there, towards the end of the hall, a figure with long dark hair, and a loose-fitted blue dress. The figure disappears smoothly into a room before the viewer can have much chance to see who it is. The camera advances, slow, the faintest sound of clanking boots heard only once a while.]

[whisper] Have to be very quiet...

[the camera turns toward the dark wall, and a sliver of light coming from the crack in a door. Veeeery gently, the door is eased open. The image isn't particularly wide -- just a thin band of the room, obviously through that little crack in the door, but it's enough. There's Queen Garnet, standing with her back toward the door, in front of her full-length mirror. She murmurs, and fusses, and pulls at the back of her dress at the waist. In the background, there's a faint sound of... clanking armored shoes? The videographer doesn't seem to notice.

And then the queen turns to the side, and it's obvious what she's doing -- the dress has been pulled back to show off the swell of her belly, her free hand cupping underneath, as she stares at her reflection appraisingly. Is she... talking to herself? There's a quiet gasp from the soldier who's recording. Meanwhile, those clanking footsteps have been getting closer.]

[whisper] Omigod it's true. She's really--

What are you doing?

[The queen turns over her shoulder, and the camera jerks away, in the direction of the new voice]

G-general Beatrix--!

[the camera fumbles, showing only the briefest flash of the angry general as the phone is confiscated, and dropped to the ground. An armored heel collides with the phone, and the feed turns to static.]

[Video/Private] to Garnet

[lionwarhero.livejournal.com]

[Seeing that Garnet is now pregnant without a man in sight, He need to check in on the Alexandrian Queen.]

[He tries to hide the bandage still upon his head from her, successful only in part.]

M'Lady.

[He's a little hesitant in his speech as you don't speak of such improprieties of pregnancy.]

Does this day find you well?
