[Richard doesn't answer the question about whether or not he can remember England, either feigning obtuseness or just because he finds her other question to be more important.

(He can remember it though. He was born there after all. He remembers the grey weather, the grey castles, his nurse singing scraps of English songs, playing with his sisters, fighting with his brothers, and always running after his father, wanting so badly to be noticed.)

England is just an objective now. One more piece of his rightful inheritance.]

I can't abide boring people, women or men. Nothing is more dull than a girl with no ambitions beyond embroidery.

( A most interesting opinion, and also a rare one for a man. She has suspected there to be much more to him than the chronicles and legend suggest, and she is finding herself to be correct in the most surprising (and pleasant) fashion. Elizabeth tilts her head, the ghost of a wry smile crossing her face. )

Ambition, I have been told, is only permissible for widows. It would be my luck that the man I would marry would live to be ancient.

( Such sass, on both their parts. It is as though they function as a mirror for one another thus far. )

If I knew how, I would change my fate. I do not wish to marry Henry Tudor. ( The will is there, but the way is unclear. ) I, too, dislike those whom are predictable or boring.

Would you be against allying ourselves in this place, either to find a means of escape or of establishing a base of power? ( For the family, of course. )

[He appears in deadly earnest now, no half-teasing smiles or practiced charm.]

Ally myself with you, lady? I could not refuse. My sword is yours.

[The family that sasses together stays together... For now at least.

When all's said and done, Richard's oaths are only worth about as much as the paper they're written on and her being a relation -however distant- makes no difference. But she looks to be no threat to him now and, besides, he always did get along better with his female family members than the male ones.

He's still not above maneuvering her into an advantageous marriage down the road though if it will increase his own power. But, hey. It's all for a good cause.]
