Lady Morgaine Fairchild-

“Look at me.”

“Look in my eyes.”

“Shhh.”

“Tell me about the world.”

King Romeo-

“The world?”

–

Lady Morgaine Fairchild-

“Yes dear.”

King Romeo-

“There are many bad people in it.”

“I don’t like them.”

Lady Morgaine Fairchild-

“Would you like to fix it?”

“Would you like to change the world?”

–

King Romeo-

“I don’t know how.”

“It would be nice.”

“I would like to.”

“Yes.”

“I like the world.”

“I like the people.”

“And the animals.”

“They make me happy.”

Lady Morgaine Fairchild-

“That’s good sweetheart, that’s good.”

“They like you too.”

“Your ‘Chibi’, and your ‘Boston’ love you too.’

“And your father and your mother love you too.”

“And your friends.”

“They love you too.”

“How can you keep them safe?”

–

King Romeo-

“What!?”

“What are you talking about?”

“What do you mean?”

–

Lady Morgaine Fairchild-

“Don’t you cry.”

“I asked you how can you keep them safe.”

–

King Romeo-

“From what!?”

“What are you saying?”

–

Lady Morgaine Fairchild-

“I told you DON’T cry.”

“How are you going to protect them?”

“Answer me.”

–

King Romeo-

….

“The bad people…”

“They have to die.”

….

“All of them.”

“And the bad animals.”

“The ones who kill.”

“They have to die too.”

–

Lady Morgaine Fairchild-

*Gently places her hand on his cheek and whispers in his ear-

“Yes dear.”

*Kisses his other cheek.

“Good.”

*Pressing her forehead against his, her nose into his she speaks softly against his lips.

“You’re a King.”

*His eyes close.

“This…”

“Is how you kiss.”

*Her lip slowly presses into his. And she traces her upper lip into the corner of his.

“Do you think that you can go back now?”

*His jaw drops as she places her teeth against his bottom lip.

“Now that you have spoke of death?”

*A tear drops from his eye as she runs a knife along his neck.

“And who would you wish to kill?”

“Hmmm?”

*He slowly shakes his head breathing softly through his mouth.

“So you wish to kill now?”

“Would you like me to show you about death?”

*His eyes open.

Lady Morgaine Fairchild-

“Run along dear, your sister has prepared dinner.”

“Take this for yourself.”

“You’ve made your choice.”
