Susan
`"Careful where you point that..."`

*She looked him dead in the eyes as she drew a matching dagger, her voice like the growl of a wild animal in a cage.*
Stacy
*Shook his head seeing her draw a dagger of her own gently pricked his thumb wincing putting his dagger away*

`"Did you assume I would harm a lady?"`

*A frown appeared on his face as he spoke offering his ot to her so she could place her hand in his palm*
Susan
*She simply glared at him before putting her dagger away, turning to face away from him. Though her tone was much lighter, it still had that harsh cutting edge; she did not forgive very easily.* 

`"Just remember to keep up your end of the bargain. You are in my debt, and shall be until the day I call for assistance."`
Stacy
*Saw her true colors when he pulled his dagger from his hilt to prick his finger to make a blood seal. As she turned away he was deeply troubled by her tone a royal that had such a gull as her to possibly put themselves in his bad graces bold indeed.*

`"My word is my bond I pricked my finger to make a blood seal of the king. It is why I pulled my dagger. It seems my action was misinterpreted and you have shown me who you truly are my lady."`

*He stepped back holding his own hand and his finger that was bleeding*
Susan
*She turned back to look at him, showing disgust at the hand held out in front of her. She crossed her arms.* 

`"I was under the belief that my king was above such barbaric practices as this."`
Stacy
*Looks at her tilting his head before speaking again.*

`"This has been a tradition for centuries my lady. Does our culture mean nothing to you? When a king is in debt he binds himself by a spell to ensure he doesn't go back on his word."`
Susan
*She closed her eyes for a moment before she spoke. When she looked up at him again, her face was filled with emotion, though it was hard to read exactly which emotions were present.* 

`"No spells. Not charms, jinxes, curses, or anything of the sort. A weak man hides behind his magic, but a strong one knows how to overcome the world without it."`
Stacy
*Closed his hand and placed it beside himself as she sees her emotion. That she was showing, he could not tell but he spoke once more.*

`"A king also knows honor, and tradition should a king surrender his honor for the sake of appearing strong?"`

*He asked.*
Susan
*She reacted to the comment in an unexpected manner; she rolled her eyes. Not many women dared to be so bold in front of a monarch, but she wasn't afraid to speak her mind. He wanted to be treated just like everyone else? That is exactly what she would do for him.*

`"I could best you in a magic-free duel."`
Stacy
*He smiles brightly as he sees her reactions to him he gave a soft chuckle, followed by a soft laugh before he spoke once more.*

`"I don't have much magiv in my bones my lady but I'm sure you could best me in a magic free duel, your abilities are well known."`

*He smiles softly enjoying there conversation.*

`"I did all this to see your reaction you proved me wrong time and time again... I say you are one of the most intelligent person I have ever met."`
Susan
*She was a little caught off guard by this response, yet she gave a soft smile.*

`"I appreciate the kind words, my king."`
Stacy
`"I thank you for this, I can feel normal."`

*He sees the train doors open and he gently reaches to take her hand*

`"Care to have a drink with me? Get some worried off your mind my lady."`

*He offered softly*
Susan
`"That sounds delightful, I accept!"`

*She took his hand, and they stepped off the train together.*
