Of course I am.

I am always right.

[braveandstupid]

[She raises an eyebrow.]

Oh really?

[so_far_away]

[She smirks.]

About feelings, anyway.

[braveandstupid]

Does your people have a lot of them too?

[so_far_away]

Oh yes. Perhaps even stronger than humans. But we are more disciplined. We must be.

[braveandstupid]

Disciplined how?

[so_far_away]

As warriors. There is a time and a place for every emotion. You must separate those.

[braveandstupid]

I see. What kind of battle are you fighting?

[so_far_away]

None yet. But some day, we will break free from the Nysgods.

[braveandstupid]

So your race is familiar with them.

[so_far_away]

No. But I am. I know much about the mysteries around Tristan and Quinn.

[braveandstupid]

Tristan is the prince, right? The one that one of us is going to marry?

[so_far_away]

Yes. He is.

[braveandstupid]

Is he not a good guy?

[so_far_away]

He is a...how would you say it?

Lost soul.

[braveandstupid]

Does he even want to get married?

[so_far_away]

I very much doubt it.

[braveandstupid]

Then why are they doing all this?

[so_far_away]

Because he must. The fate of all Known Worlds depends on his ability to take the throne.

[braveandstupid]

What does that have to do with him getting married?

[so_far_away]

You cannot have one without the other.

[braveandstupid]

I don't understand.

[so_far_away]

Perhaps your world does not have a...er...monarchy?

[braveandstupid]

No, we do! It's just ... never been a requirement that they have to marry to take the throne. At least, not for the guys anyway.

[Still, Queen Elizabeth never married. And she was a pretty impressive queen.]

It's encouraged, because they're going to need an heir, but not mandatory.

[so_far_away]

I do not know what this word, "mandatory," means. But here, there must be an heir.
