Camelot: Saturday Afternoon. While Merlin And Arthur Are Off Holding Hands Like Otters.
Francine had long ago figured out that Angelica Demesnes and her ilk -- not that Francine would use the word ilk unless she was trying to spell milk in a game of Scrabble and somebody else had already laid down the M -- had no clue what life was like in a medieval kingdom.
What she was sadly finding out now was that medieval kingdoms had no clue how to write historically-suspect bodice-heaving romance the way Angelica Demesnes did.
Instead, she got to sit on a step and try to make it through at least one paragraph of Ye Tragik Historye of Sir Ethelred the Dubious and His Enormouse-Busumed Wyfe before her eyes started swimming again.
[For NPC shenanigans, though The Girl, she is welcome also!]

"The Lady Morgana likes those," she said. "I mean-- not only those, or anything, and I'm sure other people like them as well."

She'd used to like them-- but the real thing, as it turned out, was actually much more romantic than books.

More practicalities and less romance: sounded almost perfect in Gwen's book. In a way.

If Francine ever made it past the first chapter, she might actually meet Sir Aelfrik the Dashing and discover why it was a Tragik Historye.

Because those two items were simultaneously possible.

Not that she was bitter about anything. "Did something change? I mean-- if you don't mind my asking, I don't want to be rude."

"I suppose I did. Finally. I could've had that life -- I almost did, with Merlin -- but we both finally realized we wanted something else." Cough. some people realized that faster than others, Francine.
