All right, in honor of stories, and a certain blonde, needy young lady, and the fact that I spent a great majority of my weekend being tugged from place to place, here goes.

Once upon a time, because I'm told all great stories start that way, there was a King. This King was terribly handsome and clever, but he lacked in a great many things: ugliness, for one, but more importantly, he lacked in company. See the King wasn't one to scandalize anyone, because then his advisors (of whom there were many, and loud) would yell at him, and he wasn't keen on being yelled at by anyone.

Even Kings can't make everyone do as they're bid just to keep the peace (they call that war, Rosella, just so you know).

And so the King went into the woods one day and lo! He saw there a unicorn drinking from a fountain. Because the King was chaste (and also lonely) he could approach without getting gored (this is a feat for only the bravest of young men, unless you want to ride one, in which case I hear it says something entirely different about you) and the unicorn looked up and sai---

[wandbreaker]

Stubborn is a good way to put it.

What is its name?

Re: voice.

[wandbreaker]

Shadow, but I rather prefer 'Hellspawn.'

Perhaps he likes her better?

[wandbreaker]

They are prettier than me.

Do you think that appearances hold sway over a cat's affection?

voice.

[wandbreaker]

This cat, yes.

That seems awfully narrow-minded of it.

voice.

[wandbreaker]

He is a cat.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

But surely a cat capable of having a sense of humor must be capable of taking a less narrow-minded view.

voice.

[wandbreaker]

But does he understand it's narrow minded?

voice.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

Have you neglected to explain this to him?

voice.

[wandbreaker]

I ought to think about it.

voice.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

Perhaps with proper education he would not treat you this way.

voice.

[wandbreaker]

I'll have to do this.

I hope it will have the desired results for your sake, sir.

[wandbreaker]

Thank you, Lady.

You're quite welcome.
