Let's all wish Elizabeth a very happy birthday!

*Elizabeth tries to lighten the mood further by laughing loudly at the smallest jokes and requesting various dances to be played*

You could have told Henry the truth that he is a fat, disgusting smelly monster. Just yell at him and insult him boldly like I do and her will give you your leave. And I beg to differ but both times you seemed to genuinely enjoy the attention narcissist!

Anne *shakes head in mock saddness* is that truly what thou thinks of me? Tsk Tsk.

Well well matters not, there are others who wudst gladly accept mine attentions. Isnt that right Marie? *after narowly escapeing hitting on his own grandmother and polishing of his turkey leg and wine (some of which still resides in his beard) he decides that he should return to easier prey *

I thought we were having a lovely chat Marie, shall we continue? *he says with a gleam in his eye* Or do you find me as repulsive as Anne does?

*stands up straight and proud an dlooks her sternly in the eyes waiting for his answer*

Oh, Henry, I find you not nearly as repulsive as Anne does. She merely does not understand how it is for we Princes. We cannot demean ourselves to their lower common standards.

... And would you mind not pinching my ass everytime I make a pause in my speech?

Marie tell him what you thin k! How many times have called him a filthy, bloated walking corpse! Yes Henry you hold no more appeal for me. All that is long gone.

*Whispers* Anne, I shall. But I must first make sure he is not armed! You know what he can do with nothing but a turkey leg and a goblet!

Marie you are such a wimp! As long as you allow him to treat you like this you will! Sometimes I think this forum is making me insane!

Fine. I'll tell him. But you have to be here, so someone will be able to identify the body.

Anne I do sometimes think thou foul mouth makes thee even more attractive *roars with laughter*


Tell me what Marie? *Henry demands, his laughter gone just as suddenly as it appeared*

Yes Henry dear you always did enjoy a good tongue lashing

You see when you are here Marie entertains your attentions and when you leave Marie vomits and tells anyone who will listen how vile you are. At least I'm consistent.

Consistent *bellows with laughter, his rotund belly giggling up and down* God but I hath missed you Anne.


Marie, is this true? If it is then out with it! I can be tolerant of many things but not treachery!

I think Marie has lost her tongue, of course you find quiet wsomen attractive sometimes too. Sometimes I miss you a wee tiny little bit too Henry

*Starts humming a 16th century version of "puppy love"*

Oh hello there you, you have a freakishly high forehead, do you shave that or something?

Do not try and insult me Anna.

I will crush you.

*dances around pleasantly*

Madame if you are insulted tis your problem. Was just an honest question. To my 16th century eye your appearance more than passing strange. And whats with all the dancing? Are you drunk?

I wudst point out maman that high foreheads are the most covetted feature of feminine beauty of our age throughout Europe... and that I myself think them representative of good mind.

I wudst also wish thou speak more kindly towards mine great grandmama. She ist kind and wise, you are both forces to be reckoned with and I would have you both friends.

You are very wise Elizabeth.

Very much like my own Elizabeth.

(OOC: are you drunk! Ok that was toooooooooooo funny!)


*Henry looks at his daughter with pride, something that does not happen too often* Quite right my daughter, quite right!


Anne it pleases me to know you miss me, even if it is only a small measure. And yeah I do like quiet women at times .... as for Marie, I grow bored of waiting for an anwser.

*wanders over to the buffet table for another Turkey leg*

Elizabeth, daughter dear, I cannot be nice to everyone as you can. I find many people here quite irritating and I have never been one to pretend I am happy when I am not. That is your skill dear child not mine. I am not here to be friends with everyone. I am here to get what I want whatever that might be.

As you wish maman, but I wudst not choose sides between you in a fight.

Also I don't think it is for children to tell their mothers how to behave. *apparaises Henry farnkly* Yes I have missed thee, we had some very good times, remember when we met the Masque at the Chateau Vert?

Ah yes *Henry smiles geuinely at the memory* we did have good times dod we not

*Elizabeth speaks quietly*

as you wish my lady Anne

*She turns, her face stoney and defiant. She wudst not argue afore her father the King but wilt not have anyone defy her, even her own blood. As always, the occasion ist noted for future referance. Too many have died in her name to have her be a puppet Queen to anyone's word save that of the true rulers afore her in the succession*
