"Then instead of mistaking me for a witch, they could mistake me for some bizarre witch-knight hybrid," giggles Bella.

"Bonus!"

"I wonder if there are any actual bizarre witch-knight hybrids who'd be annoyed with me for impersonating them without paying guild dues or knowing anything about swords beyond which end is which."

"Why, do you get that from witches a lot?"

"Oh, no, witches are very laid-back about that. Besides, even a lot of bonafide witches can't tell that I'm not one. They stop at the robes and the cat and the pointy hat and the garden, same as everyone else, four times of five."

"If you get any of it from witch-knights," says Sherlock, "you may send them to me."

"Oooh, royal dispensation," flutters Bella.

Sherlock laughs.

"I don't know a thing about armor design. I work with fabric and glass, not generally metal," laughs Bella. "I don't know. I'm pretty used to my existing look. Does armor come in unobtrusive?"

"...I think I mentioned that I am currently saving up for a carpet, though, so, I don't know what materials and labor usually run, but -"

"I'm a princess," Tony points out. "I don't actually need people to pay me for stuff. I'm pretty much just gonna do it to prove I can."

"Oh, okay then."

Tony giggles.

"How long after sunset do you two usually turn in for the night? I don't want to keep you up," Bella says, setting her glow-glass on her pillow.

She shrugs.

"I dunno. Depends how early we want to wake up."

"That doesn't tell me whether to put the light away yet or not," Bella points out.

Permalink

"Well, how early do we wanna wake up?"

Permalink

"Are we in a hurry? Does it matter what time of day we arrive?"

Permalink

"Nah."
