Royal Shadow

[RavenMist]

She looks away for a moment, "You have no reason to even want to be here. No reason to help me, you were going to lead this region. All I'm saying is trusting you is just the same risk as trusting them, if not worst." She comments, holding her hands up and looking back, "He didn't do anything to me, I mean, he taught me how to look after myself, I can fight now." She says with a short laugh, "Am I not the same girl you knew before, the damsel in distress as I was.." She says, "I'm not that little girl who wore pink dresses and made daisy chains, I can't afford to be that person. So I may have seemingly changed in your eyes, but the girl you knew before never intended to lead a mess of a faction." She murmurs.

 

[Hellfire]

"You have a point i guess. I'm about as trustworthy as the rest." He shuffled through the dwindling pile of papers. "You became who you are now out of necessity, sometimes that is just how it goes I guess." He shrugged.

 

[RavenMist]

"Would you prefer it? If things were like they were before between us? Because it's different now, I can tell. You were my bestfriend and now..." She trails off, "I wish I was still that person, I've become a cold bitch recently," she says with a small laugh.

 

[Hellfire]

"Sometimes i do." He said, smiling at memories. "I don't dwell on it though, if things were still the way they were we would have been engaged by now. You would have liked me as much as you do know if that were the case." He chuckled. "Things would have changed between us eventually." He said with a sigh.

 

[RavenMist]

She chuckles lightly, "I probably would have tantrum at the father had I found out about the engagement. He knows that that's the last thing to be on my mind." She says, shaking her head, smiling, "Plus, it's a bit too late for all that now anyway." She adds, "I'm not getting married to anyone any time soon."

 

[Hellfire]

Nathan nodded. "You have enough to worry about without having to take care of some foolish husband." He teased lightly. "Your father was very stubbuorn about it."

 

[RavenMist]

She laughs slightly more, "I think I can handle the single life," she says, nodding, "No doubt it wasn't too much of a problem for you though, marrying into power." She comments softly.

 

[Hellfire]

"You know if I really had wanted power I would have fought you more, instead I am sitting here doing taxes of all things." He points out. "I hate taxes." He says, narrowing his eyes at the pile of papers in front of him. "One of the worst parts of being trained to rule."

 

[RavenMist]

She laughs again, "One day, you can teach me how. But for now, your my right hand boss guy that knows everything." She says in amusement, relaxing slightly, "The only thing they ever taught me about leading is I'm a woman, I listen and support my husband. I am to be polite at all times and cherish him with meals and make his life as pleasurable as can be." She says, mimicking a voice of her tutor, laughing softly.

 

[Hellfire]

He laughs. "For some reason, I don't think you would be willing to be a quiet wife." He smiles. "I see you more as the type to lead your husband, putting the fear of god into the poor man." He laughs at the idea.

 

[RavenMist]

She laughs more, "I'll take the role of the husband and the male can be the house wife." She exclaims, "That could work." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

Nathan laughs, leaning back in the chair. "I can see him running around with an apron on, cleaning eveything." Tears fall as he continues to laugh. "That would be quite the sight." He says, wiping his eyes.

 

[RavenMist]

"And I'd be in a business suit, sipping coffee." She says with another laugh, "It'd certainly be a sight to see, imagine family photos!" She says.

 

[Hellfire]

"And the childern, following in their parents footsteps." He beats his hand on the table, moving the papers slightly. "A little girl in pants and a nice shirt, and a boy in a dress." He howls with laughter.

 

[RavenMist]

She laughs loudly, "and the nation would be ruled by a lady dressed as a man whose wife was clearly male." She says, giggling still, "The children would be cherished and the whole nation would be daisies and rainbows by that point." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

He sighs. "That is quite the image." He said with a soft smile. "I doubt i would look good in a skirt, hopefully the whole country would not follow the families fashion."

 

[RavenMist]

"We'd be a diverse faction to say the least." She says with a laugh, falling quiet, not realising he was talking about himself being the 'wife'. She brushes it off and laughs again.

 

[Hellfire]

He nods, finally finishing the papers. He sets them aside with a happy smile. "We will have to find someone to make sure the taxes get revised." He commented.

 

[RavenMist]

She nods slowly, "okay. Any ideas how to do that quickly or is it going to take time either way?" She asks softly, smiling now.

 

[Hellfire]

"Chaning your entire system of taxes will take time, depending on how many are working on it." He frowned in thought. "Maybe a day or 2. We could stop taxes and goverement fees for the time being."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods, "Yes, I'll help as much as I can." She says with a smile, "Let's finish up for today, and continue tomorrow" she suggests, shrugging.

 

[Hellfire]

"Could we?" He asked, looking up at her almost with a hint of pleading. "Taxes are aweful." He said, embarresed by his reaction. He turned away from her, blushing lightly.

 

[RavenMist]

She nods and let's out a laugh, "Yes, we can stop. If it's really that painful." She teases, standing up now and looking over it him as he turns away.

 

[Hellfire]

"Thank you." He breathed a sigh of relief before looking back at her. "Just because one is trained to rule, does not mean thzt they like every aspect of ruling."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods slowly, "I get that. What would you like to do? While we wait for the others, because generally I'm just going to try and relax for awhile." She comments.
