"This way," he says, kindly. He leads her off, and has a short conversation with a servant.

The servant departs to go get a spare bedroom ready, and Adanir looks at Mira. "Well, you can stay at the party until your room's ready, or I can ask someone else to take you elsewhere. Which is up to you."

"I might as well stay. As long as I can still dance and midnight isn't right around the corner. It's - distracting."

"Would you like to dance with me for another song?"

Dancing! Adanir actually does know how to dance. The king's responsible for that one. Exciting.

"So, normally you can't dance?"
Permalink

"Normally it's kind of impressive if I manage to walk for ten entire minutes without tripping even a little."

Permalink

"That - sounds upsetting. I'm sorry. And there's no way you can persuade your fairy to let you keep the shoes?"

Permalink

"I don't know for certain, one never does with fairies, but I objected to the - putting me in a fancy outfit solution to my father being mind controlled, so she said it would stop bothering me at midnight. I've tried to get her to address my clumsiness before. She's just not that directable in most ways."

Permalink

"Ah. Maybe thank her for the fancy outfit solution and - that might persuade her to do it again in the future? ... I'm trying to use logic on fairies, this is going to fail horrifically."

Permalink

"It probably wouldn't hurt, but - yeah, I wouldn't count on it."

Permalink

"Pity. I wish I had a fairy, but I also think I'd slowly go mad if I had one. So, perhaps it's best that I don't."

Permalink

"They're very frustrating. I mean, you don't have to call them up, but they're always tempting and usually disappointing."

Permalink

"Or bizarre. A fancy dress and magic shoes for a father under mind control." Adanir sighs and shakes his head. "Wow."

Permalink

"With the helpful advice that I should use them to go ask a human." Mira inclines her head in his direction.

Adanir snorts. "I don't require pretty dresses and the ability to dance as requirements to help with problems."

Though the king might have gotten to her first, if she hadn't snuck into the party, which - would have been bad.

"I didn't know anything about you," Mira points out. "I didn't even go straight to you. I asked a servant who a good person to go to would be."

Permalink

"Fair. Mmm. Still a strange way to solve a problem."

Permalink

"It would also have been much harder for me to get here without the coach she made me. I'd definitely have needed food and I'd have given myself about even odds of falling and breaking something on one of the parts of the route near a steep slope."

Permalink

"So what I'm hearing is that she actually picked a fantastic if bizarre solution?"

Permalink

"Apparently. Well, if you actually manage to solve the problem."

Permalink

"I'll endeavor to not snap like delicate porcelain under pressure."

Permalink

"Thank you."

Permalink

"You're welcome. I sincerely will try my best to fix this."

Permalink

"I appreciate it. I - I miss my dad."

Permalink
There's a pause from the prince, and a sort of - flicker in his face.

"I'll fix it," he promises, softly.
