The Royal Court

[thecanopycrew]

The destination is set, and the wagon gems have shone green to tell that they are ready. It was time for another journey into the wilds to find a key to an unknown lock.

...and to deal with a royal court deep within the ground.

It’s always nice to see her smile. His tone lightens in response and he echoes her smile. “Of course! You remember details from our conversations too.”

His eyebrows raise in encouragement and interest. Ah, so she does know some basic etiquette. Good, that will get them started. “Yes, those are some general guidelines.” He pauses at the subject of address. “I suppose… if she’s queen, then ‘Your Majesty’ is appropriate. If her court calls her something else… there may not be a way to communicate it. Showing respect may be more important than the title we use in any case.” And from personal experience, he can promise that tone and delivery mean a lot more than the actual words spoken.

“Perhaps I will.” He admits. Though he’s prepared himself for it, he cannot deny that the encounter itself will determine whether he speaks or not. Saber is the one preparing bargaining supplies, so she may be the one to lead. What he has to offer… he is still thinking of. He will likely form his plan during the wagon ride and as he observes the situation.
