An Unwelcome Arrival

What does he like to do? Besides fall down drunk and make love to anything that moves and is female?

*Contemplates moving him over, because he fell on the flowers she specifically asked him to avoid. But decides that he's to heavy and leaves him*.

*The guards are trying their hardest not to laugh hysterically*.

*Nicholas propts the man up on one side long enough to pull the flowers from beneth him. The pot is cracked so when Nicholas picks it up the pot falls to th efloor and shatters leaving him holding only broken and quite squished flowers*

Oh ... I am sorry my dear, we shall have to buy you new ones.

I am not quite sure what he does, I have not much contact with him in some time *he throws the flowers aside and brushes off his hands*

I know he like to gamble, hence the reason why our family fortune is no more. He tore through his inhertance and mine.

*Looks furious*. And now he comes begging to my court for a title? *Guards are giggling and trying to stifle it*. Can you wake him up? Or is he dead?

I wish he were dead *mutters to himself*

*Nicholas begins kicking at him with his boot, at which point the man passes gas and then begins to snore louder *

*Nicholas looks VERY apologeticaly to Marie*

Shall I have the guards remove him and see him to his appartments?

Yes, you shall. However I must go, I'll be back in 38 minutes. Shall I see you then?

Indeed you shall *smiles*

Hello, Nicky. I am back. Please tell me everything about your brother, tell me his life story. I need to know all about him, so I will know what to do.

I could think of more ... um ... intresting things to talk about but you know best my love ... very well I shall tell you what I know of him.

He has never been married save once and so far as I know he has never sired any children, given the fact that he and his wife Elaine could not concieve after a few years of marriage but she and I were able to after but one night ... well you understand.

He worked for my father, as Captian on our families finest vessal. This I think is when his love for women drink first began, diffrent exotic ports and women constantly, my brother was always one to live to the extreme, greedy, glutonous, and petty.

When my Father pasted, my mother had alreay left this world, the family business of course past to him, the elder, I was by that time already Captain of one of our other vessels. It did not take long for him to run through all the money. He gambled heavily and drank constantly. Several of our ships were sold to pay his debts. The household fell into disrepair, all the servents gone.

He has I have heard several enemies, jealous husbands, guilted lovers, and naive people who he has swindeled. And always creditors are looking for him.

Really my love that is all I know of him. Tis it enough?

Yes. It is enough to tell me that he will want me, my money and sanctuary from creditors. Has he ever been to Scotland before?

More than likely yes, we have both traveled all over the world

I wud have you not give him a penny and if he touches you so help me God ...

What will you do to him? *Laughs*. Would you kill the man, right before you are to be crowned King of Scotland and the hope of Catholic Europe.

However, if he forces himself upon one of my servants, I shall pawn him off to my family in France *smiles evilly*. I can just imagine the things Catherine de' Medici would do to him!

*Starts thinking of all the disgusting sexual acts Catherine de Medici would perform on your unwilling brother*.

I suppose killing him would not be the most prudent thing for me to do, oh but the thought of him touching you *shakes his head in anger*

This Catherine de Medici, she is cruel? Is she unmarrried, perhaps we could send him now? *laughs*

She is 57, the Queen Mother of France, and is known for her bevy of handsome men and her poison collection. She was my mother-in-law.

and we can't send him now. Remember the order: Give him money, titles, and THEN a French bride to infect with syphilis. Remember. *laughs*

*Laughs* I will remember ...

Did you are quite sexy when you are coniving

Thank you.

Now, I must ask you, he is YOUR brother. What do you want me to do with him?

I want him gone from here, I really care not how. I suppose for all my bold talk I am the wimp he thinks I am, I could do him no harm.

I suppose we should see what he wants then go on with your plan.

Fine then, perhaps he is conscious now. May you summon him?

*cackles maniachly and ponders which spells she could cast on him before releasing she is being strangely stared at and blushes, regaining her composure and smiling*

Eheh..

*Nicholas catches Elizabeth's intent and hides a smile*

I do hate to be in his presence once more and so soon but I suppose it be better to get it over with.


*Has a guard summon Richard ... if he is sober, or at least conscous*

*wonders if Lady Woodville is totally insane, but decides not to ask*.

*notices Marie's confusion and makes a point to make a most wide, fake smile at her*

*notices Lady Woodville's smile and decides she is insane, and probably a danger to every man in the Kingdom*.

*reading Marie's mind*

I AM a danger to every man and woman in the kingdom as long as I still have my good looks.

*winks*

*Wonders how Elizabeth (Woodville) read her mind, and starts making a determined effort to think about kittens*.

*walks over to Marie*

Marie my darling, have you ever considered getting a pet? I always wanted a gorgeous little kitten but I fear that would simply encourage rumours of myself being a witch.
