There's no bounty on your head girl...
*He reaches out and strokes the child's cheek with the back of his hand*.
Strangle you? I'm not a cold bloodied killer.... I hunt down the bad men.... At least I did... In this place there are a lot of bad men....
*He plays with Sousie's hair*.
The knight?.... You ask too many questions... But he kills for money too.... Difference is he had the law and the state behind him... Now he's here... He's just another renegade.
*Vortigern smiles*.
The baby?.... What a land to be born into.... Whoever it belongs to, I'm sure it'll grow up to be a bastard....
*He frowns and looks into Sousie's dark eyes and continues to hold her hand*.
And you... It's good to see there's a little innocence left....
*He sighs and grins*.
You'll not serve anyone if I get my way.... I often do.....

I ask too many questions? Oh.
*The girl looks crestfallen*
I wanted to know about the knight so the Princess didn't think I was ignorant. If he is a great nobleman then I need to serve him with the utmost respect or I will be in disgrace.
*She shakes her head*
I am a servant. I was born one and I will die one, I need to serve someone. Besides, I would rather be a servant than a plaything. Please don't think me rude or ungrateful...
*The girl goes red and turns her head away*
I would not speak so lightly of this baby being born on the wrong side of the blanket. Stormrock Castle is not an easy place to be a bastard... you wouldn't understand. You couldn't understand the shame that stains you...

*Philomena gently places Zaran in the bed and strokes some hair away from the girl's face*
Poor child... you sleep easy for tonight.
*She pulls the velvet cover and looks over at Vortigern. She sees him holding Sousie's hand and frowns.*
Perhaps Master Jett, once you have finished with your latest... conquest... you will go and speak with Master Karn and see if he can be reasoned with.
*She sighs*
I am obviously not needed by you here... I shall go to Kal- I mean Venn. He has been injured and will need my care. I shall spend the night with him.
*The Princess glances at the maid*
Lock the door after Master Jett leaves the room and get some rest.
*Her expression softens as she looks at the girl's tearstained face. She speaks gently to the maid*
You have had a hard day, you should sleep*

The knight is just a boy who thinks he's a hero....
*He squeezes Sousie's hand gently*.
Neither of us are servants....
*Vortigern looks up at the Princess*.
Perhaps if Venn is injured he should be in the castle hospital, not being cared for in your bedroom.
*He takes a deep breath inwards and exhales*.
Yes...
*He lets go of Sousie's hand*.
We all have to observe some kind of protocol don't we?
*He stands up and half smiles*.
I'm to follow orders and deal with Karn? Am I your servant too Princess?

The hospital is full. Anyway I am a good healer, I have nursed you back from near death before don't you remember? My bedroom here is as good as my bedroom in the tavern. He mainly just needs some good rest and a tender touch... although a little magic can help.
*She goes to her dressing table on looks through a box of small glass vials.*
You said you would clear up this mess with Karn. This mess of your making... but if you don't want to... If you are too busy seducing this child to protect me... then tell me where I can find him and I will speak to him myself.
*Philomena shakes her head*
I have never treated you as my servant. I don't know why you are being so unkind to me.
*She glares at him*
But if you are going to continue , I suggest you take your girlfriend and ride off to the mountains with her. I don't need you.
*Her eyes fill with tears*
I don't need anybody that I cannot trust... and you are keeping something from me.

I share what I choose to share, but why should I share you Princess?
*Vortigern looks at the serving girl and frowns*.
You think you can judge my desires?... Judge me?... No... I left this castle decades ago because I refused to serve as Kalvos did....
*He frowns and grits his teeth*.
I'd see this place burned to the ground...But I'd not see you or this serving girl come to any harm....
*Vortigern reaches for his dagger and slides it into his belt*.
As for Karn, I'll deal with him, men like him should not be your concern...

*Baal knocks upon the door and pushes it slightly open and peers in through the crack*.
Princess Philomena... Are you there my dear?
*His voice is a whisper*.
Maybe I should go away?.... Just for now....

*Philomena takes a deep breath*
Master Baal... you may enter.
*She looks at her perfectly polished nails*
It would be a shame to make a man of your advanced years climb all those steps twice.
*Philomena at Vortigern*
We can resume our conversation later... The girl will be safe enough here. Please... be careful.

I'll take care of the business in hand...
*He turns and smiles at Sousie*.
we'll talk more...
*Vortigern looks across at Philomena and scowls*.
All we'll do is talk...
*He stares at Baal*.
Still leaving a glistening trail?...
*Vortigern shakes his head and sighs*.
I'll take my leave Princess...

Sousie, please put the kettle on and make some tea for my guest.
*She sits down*
Things are always more civilised over a cup of tea, don't you agree Master Baal?
*The mermaid smiles at her reflection in the silver teapot.*
Once we have our tea Sousie, please go and check on my second bodyguard. He is resting in my dressing room and may need some tea and sandwiches. His name is Venn, I am sure you will find him charming.
