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!)

Comments

There is a pause before Tristran laughs loudly.

"Really, now?" he questions, glancing in her direction with a grin. "You never told me about that."

[an_evening_star]

Yvaine schools her face into a rather reasonable imitation of complete innocence.

"They were being ridiculous," she replies. "I can hardly be blamed."

[will_scarlett]

"We werena, were bein' quite logical an all. Was clearly my fault Tristran was 'urt was all."

Will hides slightly behind his drink.

[tristranthorn]

He looks from Yvaine to Will, then back again.

"If either you or Atton were blaming yourselves - or each other - for my being injured, then I'd say Yvaine was quite justified in her yelling," he says matter-of-factly.

[an_evening_star]

Yvaine seems rather satisfied with this, all things considered.

"We are perfectly capable of getting ourselves into all sorts of trouble without it being anyone else's fault."

[will_scarlett]

"Well, aye, I guess but was still me world it 'appened in."

Will takes a drink and says quickly,

"An the fight was fun anyway."

[tristranthorn]

He laughs.

"Well, if you're into that sort of thing, I suppose ..."

He pauses. "Yvaine does like arguing for the sake of it sometimes."

[an_evening_star]

"It's therapeutic, dear."

The blame-issue can be moved past. In that there isn't ever going to be a decision on it anyhow, so they might as well not bother.

"Just without all the physical damage."

[will_scarlett]

"Sparrin' is fun. Ye just need to find someone who's fun is all. Ye just need to find who ye fit is all, found that with Kate."

[tristranthorn]

Tristran shrugs at that.

"Alas, I'm the sort who wants to keep the peace as much as possible. I can't say I like 'sparring' all that much - no matter what form it comes in."

As for the 'finding one who fits you' bit - well, he simply smiles at that. He's found the exact fit for him, and she happens to be sitting right next to him, glittery and snarky.

[an_evening_star]

They are a bit round-peg-square-hole if you look at it technically - but they seem to make it work well enough, all things considered.

"He just can't hold up his end of the arguments quite yet," she adds sweetly. "He'll catch on eventually, I imagine."

The star flashes a charming grin over at Tristran before returning her attention to Will.

"And I am glad to hear that your girl suits you so well. Is she from your when?"

[will_scarlett]

"Oh nay, she's from far in the future an 'merica. Ye should meet 'er, she's round somewhere."

[tristranthorn]

"Oh?"

He glances around him at that moment, as though he would really know what this Kate looks like.

Silly Tristran.

[an_evening_star]

The star laughs, pats him on the back of the hand.

"What does she look like?"

Will seems far more comfortable talking about her than about himself at the moment - and Yvaine can be considerate upon occasion.

[will_scarlett]

"Lovely dark 'air an blue eyes that find the truth in all things, she's strong an sure an just 'erself."

Even though she's not fully at the moment but she will be soon.

[tristranthorn]

"She sounds lovely," Tristran says politely.
