@TwinOfTheKing_ I thank you for the compliment, my Princess. I am honored - and surprised - that you are familiar with it at all.

@EvalynGrim *smiles* A new face - and a beautiful one - may intimidate many people at court. Have you… met the Queen, then? *curious*

@EvalynGrim *releases a breath* I see. She is… a vision, to say the least. *pauses and looks away*

@EvalynGrim *looks at you and smiles sadly* Yes, well. If any courtier heard me say such a thing, I would surely be sent to the Tower.

@EvalynGrim Ah, if that were all I felt for her… *shakes my head* If all I felt was love of a loyal subject. But I do not. I feel much more.

@EvalynGrim It is a dangerous thing, isn't it? That she feels nothing for me is a cruel face I must live with while at court.

@EvalynGrim *nods slowly* Wounds from love may never heal. That much I have found to be true. But I hope you will find another love.

@EvalynGrim *smiles* Yes, well… we shall see, I suppose.

@EvalynGrim Truly. And have you found a gentleman at court who strikes your fancy?

@EvalynGrim Ah. *frowns* Surely one will see through such thoughts and find the truth.

@EvalynGrim They will. But take care - many men at court are scoundrels of the worst kind. You should keep your guard up.

@EvalynGrim I should hope so, truly. I would hate to see you mistreated here.

@EvalynGrim Your blade? *lifts an eyebrow* You are more capable than I had expected. *impressed smile* Let us hope you have no need for it.

@EvalynGrim Hm. *thinks about your words* It sounds as if you've much more experience in tricky situations than even I. I do not envy you.

*strides through court, humming a tune from the Palace Choir, wondering where Katherine is*

#FF To the woman who has always and will forevermore hold my tortured heart… @MarquessOfPem

@LadyStaceyWyatt Seeing you on my TL makes me happy, as well.

@LadyStaceyWyatt And I, you!

*wakes slowly to a pounding headache, squinting my eyes at the sun bursting through the glass panels*

*wanders the court, dejected, wondering when I might see @MarquessOfPem again*
