"My first day at court as a child, I was bathed and then dressed in the most lavish of gowns. I remember standing at the full lenth mirror in my room. History seems to have repeated itself"
"The corset was tight and the dress just as elegant as the one I wore when I arrived the first time...I've never felt so out of place."
Later.
Mary: How was you're journey?
You: There was some bad weather, but nothing too serious.
You continue talking with Mary and her ladies.
Meanwhile, Francis and Bash are looking at you from the other end of the hall.
Francis: She's beautiful.
Bash: Wait untill you see her from the front.
Francis: I can't do this...not yet
Bash: Francis you've been wanting to know the truth for years...and now that she's standing in front of you, you can't face her?
Francis: I just need a few more hours, just a few hours...or days.
Bash: You can't avoid her for the rest of your life Francis.
Just then a voice calls out.
Mary: Francis!!!!
Mary goes to Francis, pulling him towards the group. You're too busy talking to notice.
Mary: Y/N? You remember the dauphin, don't you?
You turn towards
You: Well of course I do. Hi Francis.
Francis: Hello.
Mary: Oh I just remembered Francis and I have a meeting with King Henry and his advisers. It shouldn't take long. Will you be alright?
You: I'll be fine...I've lived here before.
Mary: Alright.
Mary and Francis leave. Mary's ladies go explore the castle a little more.
Bash: Y/N?
You: Bash?
Bash: Y/N?
You: Are you going to stand there repeatedly saying my name or are you going to walk with me?
He laughs
Bash: Still full of fire.
You smile.
You: "Je ne serai pas une autre fleur, choisie pour ma beauté et laissée pour morte. Je serai sauvage, difficile à trouver et impossible à oublier. "
Bash laughs.
Bash: I know that all too well.
"Bash is one of the very few people I have a close relationship with. He's been more of a brother to me than any of my own brothers and sisters. Francis....Francis, it goes without saying that Francis and I have a close relationship, and it also goes without saying that it's a more complicated one given the circumstances."
