Oscar:  Oscar was about to order it to see if Tinasha was in the great hall when a door in the back of the room opened. Light spilled into the dark chamber.

Tinasha:  Heedless of the other occupant, the girl who entered headed for a door opposite the one she’d come through. Then, out of the blue, her left hand sliced through the air. Instantaneously, orbs of magic launched in Oscar’s direction.

Oscar:  Before he could say a word, he had Akashia up and its blade out against the attack. The magic orbs struck the sword and were dispelled.

Tinasha:  The girl turned to look, and her eyes widened with realization. “A-again? !”
human
Oscar:  “What do you mean ‘again’?”
gpt
Tinasha:  “Never mind.” Tinasha sighed, deflated.
human
Oscar:  Tinasha stared at him. “How did you get in?”
gpt
Tinasha:  “The window. I must be growing comfortable with your barriers because I entered pretty easily. You’re so careless.”
human
Oscar:  “Not many people are capable of breaking my barrier,” Tinasha said, obviously cross. This was the same person who’d been in the cathedral, but her aura was different. Things were the same between them as they had always been—a mood of closeness and openness. It comforted Oscar. Resting an elbow on the chair and his chin in one hand, he gazed at Tinasha. “You really went for it back there, huh?”
gpt
Tinasha:  “Well… my mind was made up for a while.”

Oscar:  “Calste looked livid.”
gpt
Tinasha:  “He was about to pop several blood vessels,” Tinasha admitted with a laugh, heading for the far door again. There was a closet there, and she emerged soon enough wearing a simple version of a queen’s formal dress. “Anyway, I’d like to get changed…”
human
Oscar:  “Ah, sorry. I need to talk to you, and it will only take a minute.” This was why he had come. He was visiting her room to speak to her not as royals, but as individuals.
gpt
Tinasha:  Still clutching the new outfit to her chest, Tinasha cocked her head. “Talk to me about what?”
human
Oscar:  “What are you going to do once you abdicate?”
gpt
Tinasha:  “I—I’m not quite sure… I suppose marrying Legis would be the right thing to do? That should satisfy Calste a little as well,” she replied in a way that almost suggested she wasn’t connected to the matter.
human
Oscar:  Oscar had begun to scowl unconsciously. Upon realizing it, he straightened out his face and said lightly, “Why not come with me?”
gpt
Tinasha:  “Excuse me?”
human
Oscar:  “Why don’t you marry me?” This was why he’d climbed the tower.
