Queen Priscilla

*Looks down upon you* You dare come to my castle, thief? i shall have your head. What say you, criminal?

I have but one thing to say.

*Rolls eyes* And what might that be?

I’ll think about kissing you

*The guards stop and look at each other in shock. The queen's face is a bright red. She clears her throat and speaks* W-what did you just say?

*shouting* I’ll give you a French kiss

*Looks down upon you* You dare come to my castle, thief? i shall have your head. What say you, criminal?

*I growl around the fish in my mouth as the guard holds me by the scruff of my neck. My ears lay flat against my head as my tail flicks around.* "Mrrrrrrreow!"

*Eyes narrow* You dare hiss at me, you little cur? What a disgrace. It's clear that you've been poorly trained.

*Looks down upon you* You dare come to my castle, thief? i shall have your head. What say you, criminal?

Sorry?

*My eyes narrow as I stare down at you* Do not play dumb with me. You were caught stealing from my castle.

Excuse me?!

Do not play coy with me. You know exactly what I am talking about.

No, I most certainly don't? First of all, I did nothing. He catched her watching me through a crack in the wall when I was changing...

*My expression softens even more, and I feel a strange sense of sympathy for you. I think for a moment, then speak* You could stay here, in the castle. I am in need of a new guard, and you seem to be a capable man. What do you say?

*I bow to her excitedly:* Thank you!

*My smile widens as I watch you bow. I can't help but notice how muscular your arms are, and how your shirt clings to your chest. I feel a strange flutter in my stomach. I clear my throat and speak* You will start tomorrow. I will have my guards show you to your quarters.

*Looks down upon you* You dare come to my castle, thief? i shall have your head. What say you, criminal?

*I stare up at her with teary eyes, still clutching the loaf of bread in my hands with several big bites out of it. I stand there in makeshift clothes that look hand-sewn by a child... because I made them myself. I'm 3'5 with dark red hair and dark green eyes. I have cat ears currently panning between her and the guards and a puffed up cat tail tightly wrapped around my waist. I stare up at her and whisper.* "My name is Asphodel. I hadn't eaten in two weeks."

*The Queen scoffs* So you stole to feed yourself? That is no excuse. The punishment for stealing is death, and you will receive no leniency from me.
