Speech Four: "Young heads take example of the ancient."

[someday_a_queen]

[Elizabeth has been out exploring. As someone's who's been under watch almost all of her life this is a new experience. School is as well and as she's the Tudor periods equivalent of a nerd, she's enjoying that very much. Find her in a few places.

A. Inside the school and/or library, pouring over a pile of books. She appears to be taking some notes

[In the park, under a tree. That's one of Becca's favourite spots, too. She's got a notebook under one arm, and smiles when she sees a girl already there.]

Hi...

[She plops down next to her, claiming a spot whether the other girl is interested in talking or not. Her body language suggests that she's cool with just sharing the tree if the other girl isn't interested in talking, but she did try to start a conversation, too, after all.]

[someday_a_queen]

[She glances over at the girl. Moving the portait onto her lap she offers a nod.]

Hello.

[clockwrkangel]

...So...what do you think of living here? [She still hasn't learned to spot the difference between people and drones--she hasn't been here long at all.]

[someday_a_queen]

Here?

[Thinks for a moment.]

...I believe it to be quite strange and rather interesting. Many of the devices are quite foreign to me as they have yet to be invented in my time.

[ It's a lovely day, so Anastasia has decided that she was going to go look for some trees to climb. She finds the perfect tree, but it appears that it's already occupied. ]

Elizabeth?

[ And then Anastasia notices that the Tudor princess has something in her hands ]

What's that you've got there?

[someday_a_queen]

Anastasia.

[Glances up, putting the item on her lap.]

...It's a portrait of my mother.

[anastynastya]

I see. Do you miss her?

[someday_a_queen]

....

I don't really remember much about her. She was executed when I was two years old.

[doomedreunion]

[Looking at all of these books. They're very different from what she was allowed to read back in her kingdom.]

[someday_a_queen]

[Just putting a book to the side and opening another]

[doomedreunion]

Pardon me, but may I ask what you are reading?

[someday_a_queen]

[Looking over as she puts the book in front of her.]

This is a history book I believe.

[princessoffrogs]

That is a lovely painting. Did you do that yourself?

[someday_a_queen]

[Looking over]

No, I'm not nearly as skilled at painting. This was a gift.

[princessoffrogs]

It is lovely, still. Who is it of?

[someday_a_queen]

It is my mother.
