"Hm? Yes? Is something the matter Taranza?" She's looking around her pockets for a handkerchief of some sort for the Spidr

She rose a brow. "I could have sworn I told you about this a while ago...maybe I'm mistaken. Regardless, I was resurrected. Unfortunately, I don't exactly remember who it was that brought me back."

"My word, Taranza, are you alright? I could have sworn I told you all of this already! It couldn't have been my imagination, could it?" She gave him a worried look as she took his hand softly. In her other hand she held out a handkerchief.

One day Sectonia will learn that there are multiples of others, including Taranza. Today is not that day—

"I swear we've had this conversation before. You do not have to be so ready right now, I'm in my own room and I have my own weapons in case there's a fight. At the very least, just take a seat for me, even if it's only for a minute."

"Thank you, love." She stood and put her book back on a shelf before returning to her seat with a sigh. "...Ultra Sword did you eat at all since you've been standing there?"

"Oh? ... . . . O-Oh... My apologies, I'm so sorry! I hope I haven't made anything worse for you." She gently wiped his tears with the cloth. "I didn't realize you weren't the Taranza I told..." The Queen still has a somewhat light grip on his hand.

I stand corrected—

She pulls him in to a gentle hug, trying her best to console him. "I understand, and I'm still so sorry that I got your hopes up. I wish I could help you bring her back but I'm not even entirely sure how I came back myself..."

"Ultra Sword! How do you expect to defend me if you starve yourself?! At the very least you could have asked for some of the stuff I've been eating throughout the day! Go get something to eat right this instant!" Oh she's /pissed./

Once he'd left she gave a sigh. "What am I going to do with you?" She asked herself quietly. The queen isn't sure she has the energy to sit him down and talk with him like a child or something. Perhaps it's better she let's her words stick with him for a while.

Soon she lets go. "...I'm...I'm sorry, I'm just trying to help you cheer up a little. I hate to see you so upset, even if you aren't my Taranza."

That's no excuse! He should be taking care of himself too! Not eating all day will make fighting rather hard after a while, and Sectonia will be very concerned about him too as she is now.

She took a step back from him, wanting to give him some space. "It's alright, really. Take your time."

|[ Why am I awake at 4am—

"It's quite alright, Taranza." She gave him a warm smile and lifted the bag of sugar back up. "Do you still need this?"

"You're welcome. If you need anything else from me, I'll be here." Her smile got a little brighter!

The queen is doing some sword play. She hasn't needed to pick up her rapiers in quite a few years!

That's a good idea. While her swords aren't wide reaching, her magic attacks definitely are and she'll be doing a bit of both.

Oh, it would be incredibly difficult! But Sectonia won't start fights just because she's watching, so that's perfectly fine. Unfortunately she doesn't stay out very long and sheathes both weapons and makes her way back to her castle.
