at least they're honest

[From Richard's experience with his own parents, the fighting and feuds that come after a legendary romance can tend to tarnish it somewhat. But he holds his tongue. After all, he was taught the role he plays now in Eleanor's court of love and he has to at least humor the notion. ]

Some families breed civil war as farmers breed cattle. [No outright mention of just who that particular family is though.] It's in their blood. But it makes for poor conversation to accompany a dance. Tell me what you think of verse. Are you content to listen to the troubadours and trobairitz, or do you write it yourself?

and charming as an added bonus!

( luckily for elizabeth, her parents had maintained a level of deep affection through their ups and downs and had never fought each other. but she does not mention the difficulties, as she herself far prefers to hold on to the warmer memories. they are all she has left. )

And then cultivate and perpetuate it until the harvest comes, and barely any remain thereafter. ( but such a topic is indeed morose, and her smile gains in warmth. ) Then it is the duty of their progeny to surmount it. I believe it might be done.

( she whirls easily and draws herself back, pressing their palms together, and taking him round in a joint step which demands focus of them both. all the while, her smile never falters. )

Both, as a matter of fact. I oft pen verse of my own when I have a moment, though it is hardly up to the standard of a professional. What of you?

[At first glance Richard seems like the sort of man to be more in his element on a battlefield than in the midst of a dance, but he moves expertly through the motions, matching her steps and not missing a beat.]

I scribble upon occasion. [A lie. Or at least a conscious downplaying of the truth. Poetry is one of his great passions and he writes and performs it at every chance that he can.] Men have said some of my attempts have merit.

( appearances can deceive, and she is quite impressed by his skill, though unsurprised. a prince must certainly be educated in such courtly manners. three hundred years separate them, but none would know it as they move and whirl together. )

May I have the honour of reading a sample of your work one day? ( she has also been raised in a glittering court full of music, finery and learning. for her, this is not at all unusual. ) I would allow you to be the judge of mine, as well.

( stepping around him, elizabeth presses their palms together. ) My father encouraged such pursuits so long as they did not interfere with my studies. He insisted my sisters and I be educated in all manner of things.
