[risegloriana]

[See Elizabeth. See Elizabeth waltz around her room. Literally. Her arms held up as if she had a partner. Her skirts flaring as she spun about, talking to her device in the most idle way, there it is set on her vanity unit.] It's Christmas time. [there's another spin, her feet shuffling and her skirts flaring out with the movement.] I organised

Um... you sent me this message but I'm not sure I know you.

[risegloriana]

Ah, no I do not suppose you would. Though I know of you through... well, you are Dean's brother, are you not?

[likely_evil]

Yeah, that's me. I'm Sam. And you are?

[risegloriana]

Sam Winchester, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. I have heard much of you. [she's already fond, really.] Elizabeth Tudor, Queen of England.

[likemichael]

[Dean is sitting at the kitchen table at home, a half-eaten burger on the table and a beer beside it. He half smiles at her, a little tiredly, but he's cheery enough, his chin resting on his arm as he pokes at his food.]

Anyone offered to help yet? And when do you need me to teach you how to do it properly? [He was hitting bullseyes at six years old, he's a sharpshooter.]

[risegloriana]

Oh well no one yet. I met your brother, but I think he was a little more confused than anything. He is the sweeter one though. I ought to be sad you didn't mention me to him.

[she laughed, look at him with his confidence in his ability.] I do expect nothing less than perfection from myself, and whenever you're free.

[likemichael]

He'd think I was lying if I told him I was BFFs with the Queen of England, Lizzie. [He smirks a little and stuffs a fry into his mouth.] Sammy has a little trouble believing my bullshit so the truth doesn't fly easy with him when it sounds too good to be true.

[He takes a sip of his beer and rests his chin down again with a sly smile.] I'll come by later and show you how to really cock it and pull it.

[risegloriana]

Well yes, you are right there. I am too good to be true. [She's not even sorry.] But we'll have to correct Sam eventually, difficult as it may be too believe.

[Her eyebrows go up, making an unimpressed little mmhm.] Indeed. There may just be one problem... [sigh, well this is the most awkward thing she's ever had to say. So she's going to go and filter this to private.] ... It can't be too physical, whatever it is. I'm sort of... in a delicate state.

[Ezio chuckles softly at her demand, but shakes his head slightly.]

I am afraid the firearms that are used today are a little beyond my expertise, but I am sure someone will be able to help, Regina Gloriana. [A little smile comes.] You have a beautiful singing voice, signora.

[risegloriana]

To be fair, I would take instruction in anything. I've strength enough I think. [or strength enough to wield a smaller blade. But her smile is wide and gracious at the compliment.] Thank you, mio signore. It has been awhile since I sung, I must admit. So I am glad it is still pleasing.

[alltenfingers]

Then I could teach you swordplay, but I do not think you should lower yourself to brawling with lesser men. [He nods lightly to her gratitude at his compliment.] It is. You did seem to be missing a dance partner, however.

[risegloriana]

Never mind lowering myself, I simply say I do not have the strength for such... but swordplay suits me fine. [she laughs quietly.] I am always lacking for dance partners, I think I will have to become accustomed to it. I went from having my pick of men to dance with to those that could barely learn two steps side ways without becoming confused. It's a wretched state I find myself in.

I take it you greatly enjoy the season, Elizabeth?

[risegloriana]

Very greatly. It's when my court is at its best, for me at least.

[notbuiltforthis]

I'm afraid we may not be able to hold any parties that are up to your standards.

[risegloriana]

Oh, I am sure they will suffice all the same.

You mean you're not gonna throw a huge party this time?

[risegloriana]

I thought I ought to give others a chance. I cannot have a monopoly on such things.

[daddysknife]

[Isn't that what royalty is for? Having monopolies on things?]

I dunno if you're gonna enjoy our parties.

[risegloriana]

[You have no idea, she owns all of you. Clearly.]

I think I may do. Assuming they follow what I know.... which involves a great deal of alcohol and food.
