"A full day with that kind of language, or a half day in a dress without any obscenities." He can work with this. He knew it killed her sister to have to behave herself, and as she said; she should have been a boy. Hell, she was more of a boy than some boys, more like than not.  But she is a princess, and she is going to have to realize that, for better or worse, that means that she<em>can't</em>always do what she wants.<br/><br/>Henrik might allow her to engage in fighting and crass language and behavior, because it came so naturally to her; but at the same time, he was always urging her to put an end to those habits (except the fighting; becoming a warrior is something he fully encourages). His methodology was different than everyone elses, though; he gave her an outlet, a time and a place for that behavior, hoping that she would eventually accept that some of the time she could do it, but some of the time she would not be able to.<br/><br/>"Just remember, Lenally. Their is a time and a place to be vulgar and crude. But their are times when you can't be so. It's not always fun, right, or fair, but that is the way life works." This is something he's been telling her quite often. He wanted to see her mature. "And if you behave well, I might let Dame Averille  take you out to explore the city, and have some fun." Averille, being by and far the most crass and crude of the guard he'd chosen, was probably the one Lenally could most relate to.  She, however, was smart enough to know how to act appropriately when she needed to; really,  the whole point of him bringing the former thief along is because he figured she might be able to help Lenally straighten out a bit.<br/><br/>See, Henrik's crafty like that. Most might balk at the thief, spared execution and turned into a Bloody Raven, being part of their Honor Guard, but he knew if anybody could keep Lenally from getting into<em>too</em>much trouble, it would be her. Besides, one never knows when her particular skill set might come in handy.<br/><br/>"And I have a gift for you. But you can't go telling anyone about it, alright?" He would wait for her to agree, before getting it out.
