Lenally frowned looking away. She couldn't argue with Henrik's logic. Only a few years stood between them but Henrik was by far more experienced than she. She knew no matter what that eventually she'd either end up married or in some other type of situation that'd be keeping her from what she loved most but she couldn't accept it. She just couldn't. Her heart belonged in the chest of a man, and yet it beat strongly in her calling her to the battlefield.<br/><br/>"I can't argue with you on that because I know what you say is true..." her voice shakes a little. "But I.....I don't want to be a damsel in distress. I don't want someone spouting ridiculous sonnets or trying to charm me like I'm a delicate little flower. If I do have to be married off.....I guess I'd at least want them to be fun...." Lenally clearly wasn't using fun to describe the 'fun' most people associated with marriage, the carnal side, but more someone who could accept her as she is and not try to conform her to the normal standards.<br/><br/>"I'm so jealous of her......she's always around you and gets to fight with you." looks back at Henrik, smiling wistfully. "Maybe in another life I'll get to be her if I can't be her now......but I'm going to do my damndest to avoid getting married" scowls at the word marriage again, forgetting that she let a bit of her language out. Fortunately, she didn't say it loud enough for her parents to hear her.<br/><br/>"I don't see how our mother would consider it going down for me, she knows how to fight..." but looks to Henrik as she sees him about to explain that too and holds up her hand, "I get it I get it.....she's the Queen I know. I wish she wasn't always so displeased with me..." looks sad once more but attempts to brighten her own mood by going back to tales from the battlefield. "Tell me another story, you promised to tell me several" Leans in to hear him tell her more about his fights.
