I don't know how it works with kings and monarchs and all that, but there were parties in the streets the first time we got a black president in office back home. It's kind of a big deal.

You mean he wasn't chosen as firstborn heir?

[ a light-hearted snort. ]

We'd be in a lot of trouble it's that's how things ran. Naw, we choose our leaders by vote, more or less.

[She doesn't mind the snort. She probably would too.]

That sounds so strange.

You got witches and curses and faeries runnin' around, but choosing who you answer to is strange? You might be the weird one here, little sister.

[ ahahaha get it ]

[Okay she has to laugh a bit at that.]

They're a bit more what I'm used to I'll admit. [Merida shakes her head.] Although I suppose dad was chosen by th' lords to become king after he led them to victory over th' northmen.

See, that's kind of how we do it. You choose the guy that's gonna fight the battles you need won - except, uh, a little less literally. Like social invaders or something.

Sounds to me like they need to do it more literally then if your people aren't in charge.

I'm sorry, I just imagined two old white dudes in a death match. The bank pay-per-view would make, my god.

You should've seen th' three lords an' my father brawlin' at th' ceremonial presentation of my suitors then. You would've been in stitches.

I would so watch a movie about your life, any day.

What's a movie?

[falconkick]

It's like a moving painting that tells a story. One of these days, we can have a family movie night at the Station.

[notyetlegend]

Oh so like...watchin' someone on th' lockets?

[falconkick]

You're a quick study, little lady. It's exactly like that, but pre-recorded so you can watch it whenever you want.

[Well that's the first time anyone's ever said that to her.]

Like when you go back through th' network?

[falconkick]

Hold up, you can go back through the network? Like, how far back?

[ can he find the first time steve and ariadne fumbled around talking to each other, is what he's asking here. ]
