Let Him Down Gently

---

Oh... that was quite lovely. I'm not going to ask who sent you with this because I am fairly certain I know. Regardless, this is not the time, or the place, and I am not the woman for a gesture like that. Let him down gently, but be firm. Wait, I know, that contradicts itself... but... ah! That's why I don't have time to deal with this sort of thing.

Of course. Who could imagine you'd ever get over a King? Especially when he's a "big hero" like Zareph. Oh, didn't you know? She and we-can't-stop-talking-about-him-even-though-he's-probably-dead-guy were all sorts of hearts and stars for each other. She doesn't talk about it, but everyone knows. If he's still alive somewhere, he hasn't come back for her. You know what I think? I think it's just an excuse not to have to feel anything. Anyway, I am putting my nose back in my experiments where it belongs.
