Thomas Seymour's bedchamber

(OOC: Okay well. Where shall we go with the RPG from here?)

(OOC: I don't know lol )

*Catherine pauses. No Matter how angry she is, she can't deny her undying love for the man before her. She turns around, and sits beside him*

You've always been a flirt. I'll just.. have to get used to it.

-This way, I managed to drown my need to kiss you, hold you in my arms all these years.

Thomas whispers looking down.

*Catherine stutters slightly, but puts her slender arms around Thomas's neck, and leans in for a kiss*

-Catherine...

Thomas murmurs wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing his lips against hers, sighing. He then makes one step away.

-You know...I don't want anything bad to happen to you.

*Catherine relinquishes*

What could be worse than being trapped in a marriage of no love..?

I don't know what to do, Thomas. Tell me what to do..?

-Neither do I know....I think that we have to wait...until you ...are.. free

I feared that may be the case, *says Catherine, sighing heavily*

I was a fool to think otherwise, I saw with my very own eyes how he slaughtered his past Queen, who was but a little girl, and swiftly replaced her with me. He'd have no trouble replacing me, an average looking woman. Alas, I fear age has not been kind to me.

Your damn right, it hasn't! Ever heard of make-up? A wig?

(OOC: LOL MARIE)

(OOC: Sorry, couldn't help myself, LOL!)

-Catherine, if you were an average looking woman, he wouldn't choose you as a Queen. You are beautiful.

*Catherine, brushing him aside, sighs*

- That's very sweet of you Thomas.

-And... I wouldn't be so mad about you.

He whispered.

*Catherine stares into his eyes, fighting back with all her might her emotions. Why did everything have to be so difficult? She sighed, thinking to herself*

He sighed deeply as he heard Catherine sighing. He knew how difficult it was for both of them to be so close to each other but so far away at the same time.

Being Queen, *she mumbles* it's hard to stop all of this getting on top of me...

*Catherine looks around, eyeing up the splender of the palace gardens*

-Yes, I understand. Each woman loves to be a Queen.

Thomas? Are you even listening? Yes, I heartily enjoy my influence over the King in caring for his brood of children, and yes, I enjoy my opinions on life having a say in things, but I care not for fancy dresses and jewels!

*Catherine looks down*

There's something else.

Have you taken Anne Stanhope as your mistress?

-Anne Stanhope?

He asked pursing his lips.

-I have not taken her as my mistress. I don't know how to explain. There is a long story about me and my sister in law.

...Because you do realise, you are comitting incest by taking her to your bed?

-I'm not comitting incest... I.... how to say it... I and Anne... have a special relationship... since we met each other for the first time.

He said honestly.

*Catherine rises to leave*

Well, I hope you're very happy together.

Thomas grabbed her arm.

-Catherine...
