[ Would you look at that Asgard, it's a little Lady. Yes, capital L and everyone who sees her probably subconsciously makes it so in their heads as well because her amber-colored hair is falling in shining waves down her shoulders, there is not a wrinkle in sight on her dress and the look on her face can only be described as aristocratically displeased. When she opens her mouth, her accent also makes it clear that what we have here is an English Lady. ]

Why is it that nobody ever asks you if you want to turn your whole life upside down to save the world? And on a similar note, does anyone offer any form of instruction or training when it comes to the use of these powers that have just been thrust upon us?

[ At least the Moon Princess magic came with some sort instinctive know-how. Wasn't much, but it was something.

Oh but wait, she missed a sort of important step here, didn't she? ]

With that said, I believe introductions are in order. My name is Maria Merryweather. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

[ Well, not really since she isn't too pleased to be here, but it's the polite thing to say. ]

Nay, it is alright. He merely reacts to a stranger speaking to one he cares for. Tis of no account.

[ Maglor might try and set them up - secretly (or not) he is a huge sap ]

If you mind it not, I mind not using it, although I suppose I can refrain where he can hear.

[ That boy is actually her future husband, she just doesn't know that yet. ]

I don't mind at all, but I suppose it might save you some of his lack of manners if you didn't do it around him. Not that he has any room to complain, with the way he keeps calling me Princess all the time.

[ all the better! ]

Oh? A princess! Is there something you have not told me then, milady? Ought I have been addressing your highness more properly? [ he'll tease ]

[miss_merryweather]

[ She shakes her head, her smile an odd mixture of smug and bashful. ]

No, I'm not that kind of princess. I'm a Moon Princess. The last one, I think.

"And what is a moon princess, milady, that makes her different to other princesses?" The tease is gentle, but he is curious. "Perhaps I should have called you Tillioniell - Moon's daughter - instead!"

Well... a long time ago there was a young woman who was so good and pure that nature itself loved her, and people called her the Moon Princess. Mother Nature gave her magical pearls that could reveal the truth in men's hearts, and when on her wedding day they revealed that her father and groom were both greedy enough to want the whole valley for themselves, she cursed the entire valley and both families. They had to overcome their greed and pride before the five thousandth moon rose, or the valley would be destroyed unless the families would listen to the next Moon Princess to come along.

[ he hums thoughtfully when she's done ]

A heavy burden indeed, to see clearly the truth in hearts. I would have thought such a curse a little... harsh, but I suppose it achieved its purpose. And have they listened to you, mirille?
