[there is a Lucy on the Plane. she's standing near the desk her little!self had brought, idly flipping through the pages of one of her maths texts, her expression flat. is she upset? sad? indifferent? who knows. but she is looking. and, after a moment, she turns to the eight-track player, almost hitting 'play' but pulling her hand away instead.

finally, she takes a seat in the chair, which is a bit small for her, but she doesn't seem to mind, and pulls out another book on the desk. those with good eyes will notice it's a little girl's diary. that brings a smile to Lucy's face and she tucks it away into a handbag before standing.

and just so you all know? she remembers her experiment. all of it. have fun with that]

[Might as well.]

I trust you'll be able to deliver these to her, then. These volumes are the legends that form the foundations of my world, and also one illustrated history of the royal family.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

Most certainly. [takes the books, running a hand over their surface fondly] I definitely know she'll appreciate these. Thank you quite kindly, Mr...?

[why yes, yes she is playing this up]

Clef. [He bows lightly.] Clef of Cephiro. She'll know who I am.

And you are...?

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

A pleasure to meet you, Clef. [and a polite curtsy]

Mrs Lucy Saxon, dear.

... Related by marriage, you said?

[Now he's examining her closer, trying to figure out if possibly she did the same thing some residents of Cephiro do when they want to look more mature.]

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, quite.

[he ... really wouldn't be too far off but Lucy is trying to distance herself from the overly naive little girl she used to be]

[notsomechild.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... well, then. I do hope she enjoys those books.

[He's humoring you, Lucy. Possibly because he understands.]

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she will. Thank you.

[you're so sweet, Clef. she really appreciates it, even if she's a bitch and won't show it]

[notsomechild.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Have a good day, Mrs. Saxon.

[He bows and shuffles off.]
