♔ 004 - [ Voice ]

[dat_guardian]

[Again, there is that feeling of the words simply dropping, one by one, into your head. Once more, despite the discomfort the voice may bring, there is also a feeling of calm.]

I have neglected you recently. You may all ask me for one thing, and I will do what I can to give you it.

Would that I could give you a better welcome, newcomers.

I don't su'pose you could get me a new dress? Or two? It is awful not havin' a real wardrobe.

[Action]

[dat_guardian]

Of course. Do you have anything in mind?

[Action]

[temptin_beignet]

Oh let me see now... It has to be pink! [She beams and ruffles her skirts in demonstration] That's my favourite colour, sugar. And low waisted always looks best on me.

Oh my, and I su'pose it can't be too big and flashy if I'm gonna be 'round here a while. But it would be awful nice if it was prince-catchin' attractive anyway.

[dat_guardian]

Prince-catching, [He says, as if taking notes,] And pink. I see. I shall do what I can, m'lady.

[Action]

[temptin_beignet]

Thank you so kindly, sir!

[She looks around the temple from where she stands... this place is as calming as the good gentleman in front of her-- and speaking of the good gentleman.] Oh, could I trouble you with some other questions?

[Action]

[dat_guardian]

Of course you may, m'lady.

[Action]

[temptin_beignet]

Oh thank you sir. [And she bobs another dainty little curtsy. Now you'd best be ready Guardian, because these questions are going to be so important.]

Now I do have quite a... sweet li'l place here, but it could use a woman's touch, if you know what I mean. But there 'aint any stores 'round here! Now I looked in the cupboards in the place, but there weren't nothin' in there either...

Well, there I go runnin' on ag'in! Is there no where 'round I could get me a few curtains and pillows?

There are, on occasion, merchants who would be willing to sell you such things. Their shop is not here, however, and nor can I tell when it will show itself again.

[He reaches for his broom again, looking up at the statue of Elune and frowning very slightly.

Perhaps I will offer you all a chance to stay in the mansion again, soon. But I will need to think about it.

[Action]

[temptin_beignet]

Stores that 'aint always here? [Well isn't THAT a horrible tease? She may just pout for a moment.] My, how queer...

So I wouldn't find nothin' even lookin' in the other places in the village neither? [Yes, she may definitely pout now. Why is it do hard for a girl to pretty things up around here?!]

[Action]

[dat_guardian]

There may be some things in the stables and town hall. Forgive me. They are rather slip-shod.

[Action]

[temptin_beignet]

Hm... [She thinks about that. Slip-shod is better than nothing she guesses] I su'pose that might do! Thank you, darlin'.

[Action]

[dat_guardian]

It is my pleasure, my dear. [He bows to her.]
