Well, he dropped me in a river, and my clothes were wet and heavy.

[priorly]

The perils of formal fashions. And after?

[illuminescent]

I thought he-

He watched me a bit, and then looked away. And offered to turn around, and so I got out and we went home.

[priorly]

You thought he?

[illuminescent]

I thought he fancied me.

[priorly]

Maybe he's shy?

Or he thinks dinner comes before skinny dipping, which is old fashioned in the extreme if you're asking me, but some people do find this kind of manners charming.

[illuminescent]

I suppose I should just ask.

[priorly]

Unless you want me to flirt with him for you. Test his resolve.

[illuminescent]

I think he would leave me for you without any second thought!

[priorly]

Why, but I'd ask him before our lips could meet, 'but, a handsome prince like you, isn't there someone who already holds your heart?' and he wouldn't be able to go through with it at all. You'd have him a crumpled wreck at your door before you know it.

[illuminescent]

He would insist most surely that he holds no title here.

[priorly]

Refreshing, but that's an expression and also hardly the point.

[illuminescent]

Oh.

Perhaps I should just do as Peter prefers and be a maid forever.

[priorly]

I hate to tell you, but if you're at naked in a river before you're sure he likes you, you're not cut out for the life of an old maid. And thank goodness for that, you're far too young to be mothballed yet.

[illuminescent]

Well.

He did throw me in?

[ That's a bad argument, Lu. ]

[priorly]

And look at you, tutting in disapproval.

[illuminescent]

I should like to for someone to admire me, and desire me for more than to be their queen. To think I'm pretty.
