eachdraidh | [Video] First Rebellion

[Pissed would be an understatement for what it is that Leia Organa currently feels. But, a lifetime of training and lack of visible irritants leaves her at least looking calm. She's been here long enough to have watched the goings-on through the strange little lockets and her quiet observations to get a feel for the place, mostly. And she feels confident enough to address the other residents of the strange world.]

I would like to thank our hosts for the lovely accommodations and food. Also, the change of clothes left in the closet of my new room fit perfectly.

[If sarcasm was an Olympic sport, Leia would win gold every time.]

However, the minor detail of being taken against my will to fight in a war I understand nothing about against others in a similar situation as myself hardly sits well with me. And from what I can tell from my observations, many others feel the same way. Sitting here and berating the rulers of both courts seems like a true waste of time, and so does demanding that I be returned to my own world, despite what important things I am needed for.

If you think that I will just lay down and accept this as a permanent situation, you are sadly mistaken. I won't fight for your cause because you think I must. I will fight against this form of...slavery with every drop of blood in my body.

To those like-minded, know that I will ally with you, no matter what "court" you happen to be a member of at present.

You will not find yourself short in those of a like mind as yours, myself being one of them. Your words may as well have come from my own mouth. [ Possibly with the sarcasm toned down just a hint. Maybe. ]

My name is Éowyn, my Lady, and it is indeed a true pleasure to meet you.

Then maybe finding allies in my goal won't be as difficult as I imagined. [And, no, sarcasm is just one of the many services the Princess of Alderaan gladly offers to those who pique her ire.]

I am Leia Organa, Éowyn. And I assure you, the pleasure is all mine.

It should not be. The difficult part may be not to become a target to either court, even your own. I have not been here too long myself, but I've learnt that they've put a price on the heads of some of the Shardbearers before, though so far as I know, only those of the opposing court. Regardless, I can't imagine they would be too reticent to do the same for those of their own court, should someone be too outspoken about... [ A rebellion. But she might be better off not using that word or any such variants over the lockets. ] Certain matters.

[Leia frowns at the information, her thoughts moving along quickly as she tries to line up how to act with this.]

Thank you for that information. I will keep it in mind. However, I don't plan on letting it stop me in trying to find a way home. This...place seems to be rather like where I am from in the regards to those they deem too outspoken against anything.
