Lots of people are asking a lot of questions lately.

[It's more an observation to herself than anything of real consequence -- but Rachel shrugs.]

My dads told me bedtime stories when I was younger.

[Her... fathers? Plural? Katherine... is trying very hard to charitably decide that means a foster arrangement of some sort. Or perhaps a guardian or patron.]

What manner of tales were they?

[Video] showchoirstar May 1 2011, 07:15:05 UTC

Love stories, mostly -- the prince rescuing the princess from the tower to whisk her away...or they told me the stories in the musicals I watched and made me the star.

Musicals? A pageant with madrigals?

[She'd... rather like that sort of thing, actually.]

I would very much like to attend one.

They may. I do not recall many of the stories I was told.

Surely a man like you was raised on stories of action and daring.

[He is, after all, if nothing else, bold and energetic.]

untamedantinous May 1 2011, 07:37:57 UTC

[A little sourly.] Yes, the action and daring of the troops of Buonaparte. It was exciting enough until I began to look into my parents' library.

And what did you find to interest you there? You speak as though you learned many things.

Stories, 'ttebayo?

Like what?

marriedforlove May 1 2011, 13:14:59 UTC

Any sort you care to share.

thelonegenin May 1 2011, 13:16:47 UTC

Uh. I don't really know any 'ttebayo.

No legends? No battles?

Occasionally my father would tell stories, not very good ones, though, and I was too young to remember any of the ones my mother told me.

Mostly, though, what was told where I was from is a history more than a tale.

[video] marriedforlove May 1 2011, 20:21:01 UTC

That is always the way. What I told were the tales of battles I saw.

[video] coraltaijiya May 2 2011, 00:19:15 UTC

What kinds of battles?

[video] marriedforlove May 2 2011, 00:21:28 UTC

The Moors sing songs of the Battle of the Alhambra.

Oh, yes. But I have heard none for some time. I should like to.

A poet, but no bard?
