Gimli hasn't been in the Bar sine he tacked up the notice for Sabin Rene Figaro and Captain Reynolds that their commissions were done, but he's there now, with breakfast. One cannot eat in one's master's kitchens all the time.

"I'll be seventeen in the spring," she says. "And I'm from a pretty peaceful world, there really aren't any battles. And honestly, I'm starting to think that all royalty runs away from home at some point. Most of the royalty I've met here have at one point or another."

She smiles. "What are princesses like in Middle-earth?"

"Among the humans?" Gimli thinks. "I know the lady Eowyn, of course. The lady Arwen Evenstar is... like to no other, really, but she's more of elf-blood than she is of Men's. Eomer, king of Rohan, wed the sister of a prince; the lady Lothiriel was tall and dark-haired, but fair-skinned and grey-eyed. Spent her days in weaving and song-craft, from what I understand. The folk of her city, Dol Amroth, were much given to singing anyway. Among my own folk there's small difference between the king's children and any other's, but then again, among my own folk there's small enough difference between the princesses and the princes." He smiles a bit. "There are those in Middle-earth who say dwarves have no womenfolk, which is untrue. We do, but they look so like to the men that none of the other peoples may tell them apart on sight."

The Ordinary Princess likes to listen to Gimli talk about Middle-earth. He's an excellent storyteller and compliments to the mun for that.

"They really think you have women among the dwarves?" She giggles. "Your princesses sound rather more interesting than princesses in my world are supposed to be."
