King's Kidnapping

[Celebmornie]

*Sighs quickly deciding to tell as much of the truth as she could with only a few twists here and there. She didn't want to compleatly lie because that would make it harder to keep up with later on when speaking*

I have lived and worked in the palace since the day I was born...I am maid to the princess...

[Samwise Gamgee]

Aurendil nodded thoughtfully. He wished to have children but had not yet found the right woman. "Was the princess nice?" Aurendil asked, smiling. If the other king did not start to change, Aurendil was thinking about taking his daughter, the princess. Little did he know that he already had

(Sss)

[Celebmornie]

*Smiles and shruggs thining of her childhood friend and maid and what she would say to this question.*

I think she was...People say we were like twins when together and I think it has much to do with us growing up together...We are very close. She can be bossy and rude sometimes but that is to be expected of a princess when around her parents who expect her to behave when around certain groups of people.

[Samwise Gamgee]

Aurendil smiled. "And did the king treat you well?" He asked, getting to his feet, pacing infront of the bed, his head bowed thoughtfully. He had not meant for this to turn into a '20 Questions' on Heather, but he need information. "For if he didn't..." Aurendil said, looking up at Heather, a sparkle in his eye. "I would not hesitate to..."

[Celebmornie]

*Gasps slightly surprised at the show of protectiveness from him. She hadn't even been there that long and she had done nothing to make herself stand out or be special. She shakes her head quickly*

No! He is a kind king! He would never hurt us. He demands respect or your job changes to something less pleasent like mucking out the horse stalls or something or he fires you when you really screw up but he would never hurt us...

[Samwise Gamgee]

Aurendil nodded, staring straight at Heather. He wondered why she was getting so worked up. Not many servants wanted to stick up for their king in the way that she was doing, when they were infront of another king. Most were too scared to even speak. Aurendil liked that, he thought it was a good quality, what Heather was doing. "Now tell me," He started, "After your small view of this castle, which would you rather be in? Mine or his?"

[Celebmornie]

*Sighs thinking for a moment trying to figure out which it was honestly*

Well the other castle has been my home my whole life, so naturally I would always want to go there...but I've been to other castles with the princess and I can honestly say I would rather be here than any of those places...

[Samwise Gamgee]

Aurendil nodded again. He did not know what more to ask Heather, and sat back down on the bed. "Are the people nice here?" He asked. He hoped that they had been, as he mainly brought up the rule of good nature, and will in his city. Aurendil hoped that Heather hadn't been loaded with all the work, that she had been gently eased into the work. Aurendil wondered how she had got that burn. It almsot seemed like she was not used to working with a cooker

[Celebmornie]

*Heather nodded thinking of the other people she had been working with today. She smiled slightly remembering the man who had warned her not to brush up against the hot pot*

Yes, they have all been very nice showing me what is expected but not giving me too much...One of them even warned me of the hot pot of stew before I turned and accidentally grabbed it, without a towel, when asked to.

[Samwise Gamgee]

Aurendil laughed slightly, and then quickly became serious once more. "Sorry... I really shouldn't have laughed just then." He, once again, got to his feet, this time going over to the window. He rested his arms on the windowsill, staring out over his kingdom. "Sometimes I wonder what the other kings would think of my kingdom if they came and stood by this window, like I am," Aurendil said absentmindedly

[Celebmornie]

*Smiles realizing the humor in the situation and watching as he looks out the window before standing and going over looking out also*

They would think that you have what looks to be a prosperous kingdome and would envy you the view of the mountains...

[Samwise Gamgee]

Aurendil glanced at Jill out of the corner of his eye, a smile playing on his face. "I wish I could see what the other kingdoms look like, when you just stand by a window, and watch." He stood there for a little bit longer, not wanting the moment to pass, and then glanced up at the clock that was on the wall. Seeing the time, he turned his back on the window, walking over to his desk, to look for some papers he would need. "I must be going," Aurendil said softly

[Celebmornie]

*Nods moving away from the window also going over towards the door*

What would you wish me to go do highness?

[Samwise Gamgee]

Aurendil finally found the papers that he was looking for, and glanced up towards Heather. "I don't know... can you read and write?" He asked. If she could, Aurendil would be able to use her as a scribe for himself in the meeting that he was about to attend. His normal scribe was ill today, and Aurendil knew he would need one

(Sss)

[Celebmornie]

*Heather nods before biting her lip and shaking her head looking at her hand wrapped in the bandage and still a little sore*

Well I can write but not with my hand the way it is...
