REXANNA
no one wearing a crown,
comes in the name of peace.
His words reach her, and she listens as he begins to explain the place he lived before – how it was similar, cold and drafty, and she nods. Kindred spirits, if only he had a bit more fire to him. She doesn’t dwell on it, however, not as the next words leave his lips and she pins him to the spot with bright eyes as she explains quietly, pulling him away from the group of people. As he promises he won’t tell, she smiles and exhales a sigh she didn’t realize she was holding in.comes in the name of peace.
She hopes her smile is enough to keep him from worrying that she’s mad. She isn’t, it’s just that it’s such a well kept hidden secret that she wants it to remain this way – just in case, one couldn’t be too safe after all. Her eyes linger on him as he babbles, that smile softening into something charming and sweet. And she offers a quiet bubbly laugh in response. “I like to think I would’ve made a nice queen had things been different.” She says softly with a quiet shrug.
But then, Peter grows serious and her eyes flit back toward him as he questions if their Queen will hurt her. A frown replaces her smile and she’s uncertain how to respond. “I don’t know.” She admits quietly, huffing a quiet sigh. “It’s unlikely it’s a place she’s heard of, but if she thinks I threaten her rule she could take drastic measures.” She runs through the possibilities in her mind. “I serve our Queen, but that does not mean I won’t go down without a fight.” She says, offering Peter a small but determined smile.
After a few moments, she directs her attention back toward the shops and gives him a brighter smile – pushing all those subjects aside for a less popular location. “Shop with me?” She asks with that same charming smile, hoping perhaps her new friend might peruse the stores with her for the rest of the day.
