.005 ♛ [Video] Late Thursday Morning.

[golden_witch]

Once again, a video is broadcast across the network without either party's knowledge due to carelessness. Viewers may first notice a rather striking young woman sitting upright against a flurry of pillows wearing what appears to be a certain king's shirt. The second thing they will notice is a fairly fancy looking bedside table with various dishes sitting upon it. And lastly, there's the said king moving to sit on the opposite side of the bed wearing nothing but heart print boxers.

"Oh, you're finally awake? I thought you might sleep all day."

The witch will gently wipe the sleep from her eyes and give him a quizzical cant of her head.

"You made me breakfast?"

He’ll just laugh, pleased with himself.

"Of course. Even if you eventually returned to the land of the living, I doubt you'll be able to move around too much for the rest of the day."

His words would stir a yawn.

"Nn. You're right. You were far too hard on me for my first time, you know."

"Don't expect me to lower my standards just for you. If you want to play with a king, you have to keep up."

Huff.

"But, you promised to be gentle, liar."

"So, I got a little carried away. You can't blame me, can you?  It's been a while since I've had anyone as willing as you."

"I guess not. But you didn’t have to dirty my dress like that."

"Not my fault. You have to be prepared for anything when dealing with me."

"You'll at least be a gentleman and make me some tea, riiiiight~?"

"What am I, your personal butler now?"

"Yes. And I expect you to serve it to me as well. You owe me."

"I owe you for teaching you how to actually use your body? What kind of bullshit is that?"

"You never told me you'd be working me so hard. I think you just liked watching me struggle. You really are a jerk.~"

"Well, it's not every day you get to see a beautiful woman sweat and pant so hard."

"You should feel privileged to have seen me in a position no other man has.~"

"You should be the one who feels privileged. After all, how many women can brag about The King Of Heroes being their first partner?"

"Whatever. Just get me my tea and I'll be happy."

"And you dare call me the brat. Fine, princess. Just give me a moment."

Of course, now that the king's attention has broken away from the troublesome witch, his eyes just happen to catch a glimpse of a certain phone that must've  been knocked over sometime earlier. He'll simply give it a dirty grin and greet any viewers.

"Oh, good morning, Prospero."

“W…WHAT?”


[ooc: Both Beatrice and Gilgamesh will be responding to all tags.]

[golden_witch]

Oh, Chitose. Is...everything alright?

[Why do these phones not carry a PG rating?]

[crimsonbells]

[very good question, that.]

Ah- I'm sorry, Miss Beatrice! I just heard by accident. Are you... all right?

[she just doesn't know how to interpret all that. At all. >>]

[golden_witch]

[Enjoy a flailing handwave as she tries to explain this.]

Oh, it's fine! There's nothing at all to be sorry for!

I'm perfectly fine. In fact, I'm better than fine! I had a good time last night, actually. So you see, there's nothing to worry about.~

[crimsonbells]

[oh! Well that's okay, then. Chitose smiles sweetly]

That's good! It kind of sounded like you got hurt, but I'm glad you didn't.

[golden_witch]

[How could anyone be so moe? Haa.~]

No, of course not, love.

We...er...worked out a little! So now I'm a bit sore. But it's the good kind of sore. You understand, right? ♥

[crimsonbells]

[nods!] I understand. My legs hurt if I run around too much, too, but Itsuki said that means they're getting stronger.

[golden_witch]

Exactly. Gilgamesh is helping me to become stronger, too.

Thing is, I got so tired I had to stay the night here.

I'm not used to being so active.~

[crimsonbells]

The more you do it, the more you'll get used to it, right? [smiles!] Why are you trying to become stronger?

[golden_witch]

Yes, indeed!

I need to be stronger so that I can survive. I don't have any magic here, so I have to be smarter about how I defend myself.

It's troublesome but necessary.~

[crimsonbells]

Oh... I remember Itsuki told me about how I should never go outside at night, because there are things that would hurt me. Is that what you're trying to defend yourself from?

[golden_witch]

Exactly, my dear.

I can't always expect someone to protect me. I have to be proactive.

And this man is a great swordsman, so he can help me.

[Not that she'd ever tell him that to his face.]

[crimsonbells]

[respect level for Beato increasing even more. A woman who doesn't rely on the men around her to protect her? Witchy, I hope you know Chitose wants to be just like you when she grows up ;u;]

Itsuki told me we have Personas to protect us, too. Do you have one already?

[golden_witch]

Well, not yet. I can't rely on something I did not summon or create myself.

When and if I'm given such a thing, I might worry a bit less. But I don't want it to be my sole protection.

I'm used to having an army of servants, so having only one will seem quite odd to me.

[crimsonbells]

[oooh, intriguing - Chitose's eyes widen at that]

You have servants, Miss Beatrice? Are you a princess, or a queen?

[really, she's like any other girl... she likes her fairy tales, too. And Beato is certainly pretty enough to be a fairy tale princess, in Chitose's eyes.]

[golden_witch]

[Such a question will stir a hearty giggle. She just loves this girl and her imagination.]

No, not any of that. You could say I'm royalty in a way, though.
I'm a witch and the mistress of the island in which I resided.
So, it's within my power to summon servants at the snap of my fingers.

I think that's better than being queen.~
