[ he doesn't seem completely convinced. but he'll try, try again and rolls a BIG OL 12. True success in Gerard terms. The ball this time hops out of his hand, rolls down and ... knocks down two pins. ]
[Bowling is soooo hard when you are a miss priss. His nails... Ah well. T-chan still has his mouth over the bowling ball on the floor, but he has paused to regard Gerard from his spot.
He doesn't seem to be bothered by a frog man either? Or hungry for one.]
[ gerard will take a look at T-chan and then awkwardly wave in case he is a talking and sapient human person suffering under a curse as well. ]
Yes. That's right. I mean, in defense of Greenleigh - we were under attack, it seems, from Snowhold. It is not normally the duty of a Princess to lead on the battlefield, but she really was quite insistent.
[Hmmmmmm. T-chan's... fluffy tail lifts ever so slightly and wages once or twice back and forth...]
Ah, I see. She sounds...
[He's trying to think of an appropriate phrase as he stands here holding the ball. It isn't that he believes women shouldn't or couldn't conduct warfare...]
D surveys Gerard's reaction. Hmmm. The depression he's getting off this frog man... He isn't sure if it's appropriate to ask since it could be any number of things Gerard might not want to talk about.
Deviance, death...........divorce. He does not learn the d lore despite being a D.]
Is that what you last remember then...? Escaping during an attack?

It may help. You can put your fingers in the holes then, as long as they are big enough.
[Thinks about Buzen getting his fingers stuck.......]
You have another turn, too. As long as you don't knock all the pins down the first try.

[ don't say it like that. ]
Then I shall try again. This game is fun.

Oh--! Success. Look!

Good job, Your Highness! You're getting the hang of this already.
[The pins will get reset so he can take a turn. He still does not stick his fingers in the holes, he's too worried about the nails.]
Might I ask what Greenleigh is like?
no subject
Right now? I imagine not good. Destroyed by giants and such. At least, the last time I saw it, when I was fleeing the castle.

D drops the ball into the lane and watches it very slowly roll down at a diagonal. It only gets one pin on the very edge.]
Oh? [He looks sympathetic as he comes to retrieve his ball.] That sounds awful.
Was it a surprise attack?
no subject
Erm. It certainly surprised me? [ ... ] My wife had been planning-- war rooms, and such ...

Your wife had been planning... warfare?

Yes. That's right. I mean, in defense of Greenleigh - we were under attack, it seems, from Snowhold. It is not normally the duty of a Princess to lead on the battlefield, but she really was quite insistent.

Like an iron-willed handful.
no subject
[ he sort of laughs at that reply, and it's both actual fond amusement and also just. deeply sad. yeah! ]
That is true. It is one of the things most admirable about her.
