There's a Sidhe princess in the bar.

She's been feeling sorry for herself and been keeping to herself. There's dark shadows under her eyes and a quiet tiredness around her. Now she's sitting in a arm chair and curled up around a book. Tea and breakfast next to her.

Feel free to bother!

[OOC: Mun is here all day but might be a bit slow, baby and babysitting..god save me from highhanded 9 year olds]

"The indifferent kind. The world might go to hell in a hand basket without him looking up from his book."

She grins a little at him and then teasingly nudges "So you got all of the high drama in the family then?"

Eyes kind.

"Not quite. But a lot more than my fair share, it seems. What about you?"

She thinks about that for a moment and tilts her head..

"I don't know if I got all the High drama..but I certianally got most of it." She chuckles "Depends on which side of the family"

"Tell me more? What's on the other, non royal side of your family?"

She blinks quietly..thoughtfully.

"I don't really have a non royal side of the family. The only non royal is my grandmother who was half brownie half human..she..was with my Grandfather so that she might join the sidhe courts..he was with her so that he would lift a curse.."

He nods.

"Sounds complicated. My mother, a non Amberite, was with my father for the same reason."

He winces.

"Stupid woman."

She pauses glancing into the window for a moment and then nods "I often thought Gran was stupid as well. But she.." she shakes her head "Her and my father were good to me."

She takes a breath in "What happened to your mother?"

"No one knows. I assume Oberon got rid of her himself, or locked her away somewhere. He fell in lust with a oung witch named Clarissa. Had four boys by her, too."

She blinks at him quietly.

"I'm sorry Random" She doesn't particularly like her own Mother but there are other people out there who do, or did like theirs.

"Sounds like your father would fit in at my court"

"He was. King of the Fae for a very long time. In my world, at least. Ever read 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'?"

"I noticed the name but I didn't want to question..I figured that it was a different world or something"

A chuckle and a smile

He nods.

"That one's something of a fairy tale version, but that's essentially the situation, yes."

She blinks at him and lifts her brows "Well..he was charming then too" sarcastic.

He nods.

"An iron fist for ruling. That's how I'd describe his attitude."

She nods at him "Most rulers are in my experiance"

Another sip from her cup "If you ever get the throne, do you think you will be different?"

"I would try to be. Ruling Amber essentially puts the universe in your hand, not to control but to keep safe. I'd do what I had to to protect it."

A slow thoughtful nod and she smiles a little at him.

"May you get on the throne then" She tilts her head and then pauses "would it be too forward of me to ask that we go have a picnic someday?" Loneliness makes for courage under pressure.

He smiles.

"Of course not, Meredith. I'd love to picnic with you. I hadn't seen you about recently, which is why I came over."

She pauses and nods "Then sometime soon"

She agrees and then shrugs, Looking at her book "I hadn't expected to be so.." A frustrated sigh, because really this is ridiculous and she knows it's ridiculous "lonely"

Brows furrow.

He winces.

"No one ever knows what they have till they miss it."

[ooc: actually, I'm about to go on vacation for ten days. But Random doesn't know that yet, so...]

She nods faintly and then smiles. "It'll be ok..I'll get home soon enough"

She prays.

"Speaking of which, I've got to be going. It's been nice talking, though."
