[Meet and greet mingling time after the meeting on the Invincible.]

[Yes, he did. It might not have been the best of ideas when Ursula is still getting over his other, recent, misstep.]


Ceodore...why did you volunteer me?

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[It was impulsive of him, but Ceodore really did mean well. Just... he hadn't quite thought out the consequences before speaking.]

I know you've been waiting for a chance to use your abilities and you deserve it.

[Ursula seems pensive at that, but there's something else on her mind, something more pressing.]

...and because you didn't want it.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

I... um... Well, no.

But I swear that's not why! I didn't even think it. [At that particular moment anyway.]

[monk-princess.livejournal.com]

But why do you say I deserve it? I have no more experience than you. Nothing I have done stems from skill that you do not also possess.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[But he can't see any skill in himself. He's still working on that.]

I thought it'd make you happy.

Everyone deserves their chance, Ursula.

[monk-princess.livejournal.com]

So do you, Ceodore.

[Why he can't see that, she doesn't know. But, it makes her sad. She manages a half-smile.]

You know, this means I won't be able to live in Troia anymore....

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[No, he didn't know if the stunned look on his face is any clue. Sure they grew up in separate countries, but... he's gotten used to having her nearby.]

Wh-wha-?!

[Ursula raises an eyebrow.]

I can't govern effectively from such a long distance away, can I? Narshe must become my new home.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Well, I... hadn't thought about that.

[And boy doesn't he look miserable?]

[monk-princess.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't look that happy about it, herself.]

You could come with me, you know.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[PERK! See how easy that was?]

Really? You don't mind?

[monk-princess.livejournal.com]

I don't, but it's still something you would have to discuss with your father.

[Somehow, she doubts King Cecil would mind, but it's still the polite thing to do.]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Nodding. Lots of nodding.]

When will you leave? I can talk to him now.

[monk-princess.livejournal.com]

Hm...probably soon. A week or so, depending.
