His Majesty is getting chubby... what shall we do?

i noticed from pictures of His Majesty, our most humble sovereign lord that he is beginning to get a bit... how to put this... a bit *coughs* large... *gestures size* around the middle... what do we do?

Umm... I suggest... No prefer to keep my head!

My Lord James I suggest you talk to him about it, I am sure you shall be recieved well *hides grin*

Unfortunately Nickie,
His Royal Majesty, our sovereign lord, His Grace, King Edward VI isn't online so I cannot talk to him about it...

Besides, I may be able to teleport, but even HE scares me more than Elizabeth does... and trust me... that IS difficult

*stalks into the room, eagar to take part in the gossip*


What is this I hear of someone getting fat? About whom art thou speaking of?

*absent mindedly rubs his rotound belly*

Father!!!!


YOU'RE BACK!!!!

*Hugs Henry VIII tightly*

What was Uncle Arthur Like...?

I was talking about your OTHER son, father

Yes yes *coughs and clears throat, then stiffly pats the child on the back*


Now *wriggles from the child's arms* Tis surely not mine dearest Edward of which you speak of in such a disrepectful manner?

*looks down at James fearcely*

Tis your Edward... I noticed it while I was playing with my half-brother in his room a few weeks ago... I would like him to Marry Lady Jane Grey, but like you, he is REALLY stubborn and refuses to marry her

If he HAD married her Bloody Mary would never have inherited the throne and PORTESTANTS WOULD BE ALIVE AS THE WOMAN WOULDN'T HAVE BURNT THEM AS EDWARD WOULD HAVE HAD A CHILD WITH JANE!!!!!

or if you Hadn't restored her to the succession things would be better!!!

Better still... LET HER MARRY PHILIP OF BAVARIA!!!
THE HAG CAN DIE IN BAVARIA THEN!!!!

*rubs head as if he feels a headache coming on*

Spirited little thing are you not? *chuckles softly then quickly paints on a more fearce and regal expression*


I shall insist that thou desists in speaking so of mine dear children *meaning Edward mostly* I assure thee the consequences of earning mine ill favor will not be to thine liking.

Lets see
Elizabeth, brilliant queen
Mary, burnt millions of people
Edward, short, chubby

ok, papa

I'll stop talking of them

Now, whom do we marry Edward Too???

Mary of Scots is taken, and Jane Grey is to scared of you

Hello Henry!
We should talk about this boy. His behavior is quite troublesome of late.

Hey! I Have been behaving in the last week!!!!!

Stop nagging!

I do not appreciate my dear cousin and several-times fiancee Mary being referred to as a hag, and anyway grown ups are talking. You should hold your tongue.

MARY I BURNT MILLIONS OF PROTESTANTS

I can call 'er what I like

Millions is a wee bit of an...oh, what's the word...exaggeration, my young lord. I simply wish to remind you that, as my cousin and daughter-in-law, the lady is part of my family, and as you have shown me some modicum of respect in the past, you may wish to extend it to her.

i would
but she is not here

Ah, but I am, and so is her father.

*smiles Warmly*

Charles, how nice to see you again truly.

And yes I must make some apologee for the boy ... *Whispers* he takes after his mother.

I shall have to teach him some respect. Perhaps a room in the Tower will give him time to concider his behavior? Or I could just have him flogged

Father, my mother was not that bad, she was one of your favourites....

And I will show Mary some respect.... on one condition... you agreee to remove her from the succession

*to Henry*
Who is this one's mother, then?
You know, I am sure I can scrounge up some obscure Eastern European noblewoman for him. He is your son, though, and you must discipline him as you see fit.

*laughs* You do nto give Henry VIII altematims ... Mary shall remain in susession. You shall never find your self upon the throne. You are however coming very close to finding yourself either locked away or with out a head.

Charles my friend *blushing slightly* I am afraid I can not remember at the moment who gave birth to this whelp.

I do hate to be harsh to the child, do you think a woman would help ease his disposition?

i didn't want to be on the throne, i wanted to save hundreds of protestants from being burnt

Sir Charles, my mother was one of the last that Henry had

It may well, cousin, it may well. I myself was greatly improved by marriage. Alas, though, he will likely require tutoring in etiquette.
