The Randomness I Occasionally Feel Like Posting (or TRIOFLP for short)

So I revised my French assignment.

Leeno and Sera:

"Yes, yes! I have an... appointment! An appointment to see the queen, yes." Leeno stutters, glancing around nervously.

The guard before him looks him up and down, then turns her head the slightest bit towards another guard and gives a small gesture for him to come over. The heavy footsteps of a second person wearing boots sound behind Leeno as he fidgets with his fingers.

"Would you mind telling us what for?" She asks the dreaded question.

"Do you have a... name, Ms. Ma'am Lady?" He asks, forcing a cold look on his face.

"Why, yes I do." She responds, copying his expression. "Is there a reason you need it?

"Yes, yes there is." Leeno says, his voice wavering.

The guard stands up taller, deciding whether or not to act surprised. "Esmay." She says, a hint of confusion now showing in her voice.

"Esmay. Pretty name. Now is there a reason you need to kn–!" He gets cut off as the guard who had been standing behind me silently suddenly puts a hand on his shoulder. He tries to shrug it off, but the guard keeps his hand on firmly.

"Esmay, is there a reason you need to know? It's between the queen and I." Leeno explains, swallowing nervously, begging Sera to work faster.

Sera, just get in and out. You know I'm no good at this, he thinks, willing this to be over.

"Yes, there is." The guard behind him speaks up in a deep voice, revealing that there is a man behind the metal mask covering his face. "The queen's protection is our job, so we need to know if you'd be a danger to her or not."

"Yes, that." Esmay nods in agreement.

"Uh..." Leeno whispers, struggling to come up with an excuse. He looks up suddenly, and an awkward smile spreads across his face. "You must be very good at your jobs! If, um, she chose you two in particular."

"Yes. We've been here for years– Is there a reason, sir, why you are still here?" She huffs impatiently, putting her hands on her hips.

Leeno blinks rapidly, fear growing with every beat in his chest. "Uh, your... hair is looking very nice today!" He says strangely, looking behind Esmay, evidently distracted. "And your eyes, so pretty..." He trails off, shaking his head vigorously.

"Is everything alright?" The guard behind Leeno asks him, forcing Leeno to turn around.

Leeno clumsily grins, and whispers, "Sorry," then slides a little to the right, a loud CLANG ringing behind me.

Leeno turns around just in time to see Sera panting, and a big metal spoon in her hands, supposedly what she just used to knock out Esmay.

"Hey!" The other guard shouts, closing in on Sera.

"Hi!" she smiles, then whacks him on the forehead with the same spoon.

The second guard falls to the floor, and Leeno looks up at her with frustration. "I was handling them! They were falling for it. You could have gotten away peacefully." He complains.

"Doesn't matter," She grins. "This isn't another one of your one-minute-flirt-with-a-stranger-thing. You're bad at it anyway."

"It was working." He insists, pointing at her sharply.

"Flattery doesn't work on everyone." Sera says whilst rummaging through her bag vigorously.

He gasps, crossing his arm defensively. "Everyone loves praise."

"Ah, it doesn't matter though. I got it!" She exclaims, pulling a sheet of paper, yellow with age, out of her bag enthusiastically.

"You got the map?"

"I got the map!"

Yeah so I said revised, but I meant completely redone, so it's now school appropriate, and turn-inable.

Hope you enjoyed!
