I've met monsters, you know, and you aren't one. You're not even half of one.

I'm sorry. If you've thought all this time I might not like you if I knew any of it — well. I'd be no better than that awful frog prince, wouldn't I? Not bothering to care anything about you other than some preconceived notion I might've had.

I really do like you very much. And not just because you threw that horrible fool in the moat for me.


But it's very much your horse.

[reposing]

I was being literal, but thank you.

I imagine throwing that wretched prince out the window didn't hurt my chances, at least. But thank you.

Fine. If it's my horse, then we'd better find the damned thing.

[savewell]

My, so many thanks! I don't know that I deserve all of them.

You should tell me about your father's court while we look. I know you said it was unique. I'd like to hear more of how so.

[reposing]

Then I shall subtract one for a later use. A singular thanks for the moment instead.

You really want to know about Dracula's court of night? Full of all sorts of night creatures, especially vampires?

[savewell]

No, I want to know about the court where you grew up, that belonged to your father the king.

If you're out to try to scare me, you're going to have to do rather a better job than that, you insufferable boy.

[reposing]

How rude. Here I was attempting to give you the option to back out.

Well. As a boy, I didn't quite understand the purpose of it. When I was young, the court was commanded to be kind to me, of course. I didn't question it if we had a warg or demons in the halls. For me, that was normal.

To be honest, I felt more comfortable with a few beasts than I did the vampire generals my father would meet with. They were polite to me, of course. Many of them my tutors in various areas. However, the more I grew up, the more I knew that I was different from them.

[savewell]

It's curious how some things stay the same, even when others are so very different. Being the sovereign's heir always does come with special privileges, especially when one is young, and one's elders more willing to be indulgent.

When did you meet your first...um. Human, I suppose? The first one aside from your mother, that is.

[reposing]

Both a privilege and a curse. Though I will admit that my mother ensured that I understood just how fortunate I was, as much as she indulged me so.

A boy, when I was also a child. His family had just died from a perfectly preventable illness. I thought I'd be so eager to meet someone my age, but instead I was frightened at first. I'd never seen another child before, not like that.

[savewell]

Frightened, really? But why?

Oh...because he was different, I suppose, from what you were used to. Is that it?
