It's been a while.

Okay, so it's been way more than a while, but the narration would go so far as to err on the side of diplomacy lest it be included in the general air of 'royal lazyasses' that seems to follow its charges around on a near-constant basis. It is not lazy - it is abused and mistreated.

"- should have seen your face when it started moving!"

"It was a tree. Trees don't move - there are roots involved - it's rather the point, Yvaine."

"So you talked to one, but they cannot move?"

"Yes, but that's an entirely -"

You see what it has to live with on a daily basis?

The couple that appears along with the bickering looks rather like they've been walking a great deal - vaguely dusty, slightly threadbare, and sun-darkened (well, one of them, at least) - but altogether rather pleased, if a little footsore.

"Oh," the star remarks, blinking once at the sudden change of scenery and grinning widely. "Civilization!"

Company would be welcomed. (As would dinner, more likely than not, but first thing's first.)

(OOC: Two for the price of one! It's sort of a discount ... only not at all. AND NOW - for bedtime!)
tristranthorn: (pretty proud)

Tristran chuckles as the waitrat scurries off to grab his rather generous order - pie included.

"It was fun, wasn't it?" he says with a grin as he recalls the memory. "Though that whole time was a bit confusing for me."

What with the whole Victoria thing.
tristranthorn: (you don't say)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
That is perfectly fine at this point, as mocking nicknames are all part of the fun now.

"Perhaps we'll be around the next time winter comes to this place," he says, innocently ignoring Yvaine's dry tone of voice.
tristranthorn: (oopsies)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, I don't know. We never do seem to come here upon our own will," he says reasonably.
tristranthorn: (pretending to enjoy this)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing they haven't done before, that much is certain.

He nods, letting out an easy laugh. "You feel the same too, then? I was beginning to think you were enjoying the rocks and sticks underneath us when we slept on the ground."

There might be sarcasm in that. Maybe.
tristranthorn: (worried)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
"That's over-exaggerating it a little, isn't it?" he says, blinking at her. "I mean, the mattress is terribly heavy, after all!"

He pauses.

"Plus, we don't want to be accused of thievery."
tristranthorn: (you lie)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
He proceeds to blink further. She isn't serious.

"You are joking, right? I mean - the mattress. It's - it'd be difficult to carry it with us at all times."

Poor Tristran. The narration takes pity on his innocence. (And chuckles a bit, too.)
tristranthorn: (are you batshit insane?)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
He shakes his head.

"We cannot possibly -"
tristranthorn: (it's on me isn't it)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
He pauses.

And then it dawns on him.

(There is hope for him yet. He'll learn quicker, honest.)

"You know, that isn't funny." Beat. "At all."
tristranthorn: (is the stupid sign on?)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure," he says deadpan. "Yes, I'm sure you would have been beside yourself with laughter."

He shakes his head.

"I will never believe you again."
tristranthorn: (highly suspect)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
He ignores the smile quite deliberately, no matter how charming it is.

"You," he says, turning to her with a very grave expression on his face, "are a cheater."
tristranthorn: (i think i left the oven on)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
The face is convincing.

But, no! We must keep our resolve.

Honest.

It is -

He won't -

"... n-no."
tristranthorn: (nothing but a dreamer)

[personal profile] tristranthorn 2008-06-11 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
"You don't eat pie," he reminds her.
