Twelfth Betrayal

[queenoftraitors]

So touching, to see the pleasure a true beginning to winter can bring. Especially to my dear little queen.

Are you four still reveling in your victory?

[To Kay//Private because it is spoken in person]
And how is my guest?

Action

[He's slumped over, pretty weak from the loss of blood as well as the frostbite. He can barely talk right now.]

W-why're you...I t-thought you were n-n-nice...w-what'd I...

Action

[queenoftraitors]

Thought I was nice. How foolish of you. But how useful.

[She's standing in the doorway of his cell, watching and considering her next move.]

[He winces in pain, clutching at his head. Not because of the cold, but because of his eyes growing back. Everything gets a little brighter, and though it takes him a few seconds to focus he stares up at Jadis with his new eyes.]

O-oh my god...

[And he quickly looks away, because he doesn't really want to get a good look at her and what she's done.]

[This is unexpected, and Jadis draws back. Were she in her own kingdom, there would be no need for circumspection. But these people have not yet learned to properly fear her.]

I am afraid I shall have to bring an end to my hospitality.

You should know better than to address her in that way.

As for reveling, we don't need to. Victory itself was enough.

[queenoftraitors]

Oh? You don't like for someone to show your sister the respect of her title?

Was it really?

[oshutup]

She deserves all the respect in the world, but your words lack sincerity, as usual. It's only as good as a mockery.

What is your point?

[queenoftraitors]

Do not presume to begin policing my words, little king.

Only to inquire as to whether your victory has brought you to the happiness you expected.

[lionesssejant]

We've won fairly. Leave things be.

[queenoftraitors]

I don't recall 'leaving things be' as part of the agreement.

[treadingdawn]

Not even a wake in your name?

[queenoftraitors]

Wakes are for those who will never return.

[treadingdawn]

You must enjoy the abuse.

[queenoftraitors]

I enjoy outlasting those who would mete it out.
