Ah.

[doesnothappen]

Luckily, we can carry a lot.

[silentknight]

You're very strong!

Mau?

[doesnothappen]

I meant their inventories, but... hmm?

[silentknight]

Can you tell me a story?

[doesnothappen]

...yes, certainly. Any special kind?

[silentknight]

Hmm.... I don't know. I just want to hear one, from you.

[doesnothappen]

All right. Get comfortable.

[silentknight]

[settles in!!!]

[doesnothappen]

This is a story of a time not so long ago, in the world that is my home.

[silentknight]

[probably is hugging a pillow, resting her chin on the top, and watching intently]

[doesnothappen]

Once there was a girl, the daughter of a king.

[he pauses to get comfortable himself, leaning back against... something, a pillar or a tree, it's hard to make out]

[silentknight]

A princess?

[doesnothappen]

Yes, a princess. But she did not know she was a princess, and her father did not know he was the king.

[silentknight]

Why?

[doesnothappen]

He was away from his country, on a long journey, when he became needed for that position, and his daughter had followed after him. So they were lost and far from home when they became king and princess.

[silentknight]

Oh.

[doesnothappen]

The daughter was chasing after her father on a great ship, when a huge storm came.

[silentknight]

And the storm was bad?

[doesnothappen]

It was bad. It picked up her ship and hurled it across the sea, rushing over islands, until it hit an island too big to fly over, and was stuck fast between two huge fig trees.

[silentknight]

[FACE]

[doesnothappen]

What!

[silentknight]

Was she okay?

[doesnothappen]

She was. The captain died, and the crew died, but the princess lived. She lived through the night of storm, and when she stepped off her ship onto dry land in the morning, she found herself in a different world...
