...Oh, all right, it's not like I really care if Lady Marianna or any of her friends hang out with thieves, anyway, even if they apparently do, and I really did think Lady Oktavia would know better at least, but whatever, whatever.
[And then, he pointed a finger at Ophelia, mock-sternly.]
- Very well then - I never saw or met you or your merry crew, and you never saw me, neither. All right?
[Ophelia sighed at that, and then waved her hand, sniggering.]
...Sure, whatever, we never saw nothing. Right, everybody?
[A ragged chorus of "Yes, Ophelia" "Yes, Ma'am" rose from the crew of thieves, while Ophelia snickered. Kyle shrugged, then, and simply grabbed a spare chair and sat right next to Oktavia.]
- So now that's been dealt with - I have a proposition for Lady Marianna and Lady Oktavia. Oh, and the rest of your people, too, if you're interested.
[Marianna stared at Kyle, then. She'd never expected Prince Kyle of all people to act like this, to be honest. So what had happened to that feckless young highborn man who'd went around charming almost every woman in sight, anyway? Or had that all - or mostly - been an act?]
...Indeed, Lord Kyle? So what is this proposition?
[Kyle smiled at that, sharply.]
- If you help me get away from Lady Rillanne and find a ship for me to get on, I'll help Lady Oktavia regain her position in noble society, and help out the rest of you as well, once I'm back to someplace where Lady Rillanne doesn't have quite so much power. Well, as long as Lady Oktavia eventually turns back to normal, or could fake being turned back to normal anyway, that is.
[And then, he turned around and looked at Mistress Lita.]
...She's going to turn back eventually, right? Or get to the point where she could control the transformation, or something like that? Lady Oktavia's great grandmother could transform into a human at will, if I'm remembering the old tales correctly...
- I believe you are correct, Young Sir! Lady Oktavia is probably going to be able to transform back in a couple of weeks at the most.
[Lita said with a smile. Kyle nodded back at her, and then turned back toward Marianna and Oktavia.]
...So that's that. What do you say, Ladies, Gentlemen and otherwise?
