She was not on a leash and had no intention of it – he opened the field for her to do exactly that. “Dignity?” She queried boldly. “Forgive me sir knight but I hardly think you’ve died and therefore lack expertise on the matter of death and it’s consequences on one’s self image. Though I suppose if it’s a preferred method of dying that we’re addressing and commenting on I still pick sword and find it a more dignified death.” She nodded. “I have seen soldiers stumble around with arrows in them gurgling for those last few breaths – some able to speak. You can be riddled with arrows and survive for some hours – even days! Though I have not found one soul who has lived beyond a beheading. And if it’s to be left to their own devices,” she smiled slightly and managed a little shake of her head while she glanced at the ground, “I have to say I wouldn’t want to be left to them on the battle field. My own devices there are exactly that – battle. Though I suppose if you wanted stealth and to kill me in my own home, perhaps my own bed while I slept then an arrow would be the ideal weapon. Quite too.” She shook her head and dared to meet his gaze boldly again. “Don’t mistake me, arrows and bows have their purpose and their place. It is on the battlefield too – but not to leave one’s opponent a moment to gaze one final time at the sky and ask why it’s blue.” She raised her chin to him, once more locking eyes with him. She liked this man, he listened and challenged her. Though he didn’t make her passionate and enraged she couldn’t help but respect that he respected her. She was just about to start into another topic he’d mentioned when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Her mother apologized for interrupting and explained that the queen needed to see the Marquis. Jasella didn’t like it one bit, in fact she was slightly rigid with the idea of being swept away so quickly and in the middle of a discussion. This mustn’t be good – not even a little bit. She whispered questions to her mother but none were answered and the hard look in her eyes only further pressed Jasella to want to groan and demand an answer as to what she was in trouble for now. The moment she realized that they were going to be alone in a room she felt the weightiness of it all sink down onto her. Something must be dreadfully wrong. She pulled her dress in quickly so the door could be closed behind her. She smoothed the folds of the skirt as her eyes fell on her queen. She dipped low in them with a little incline of her head. “Your majesty Gretel. Please, no secrets – why have I been called?” Her eyes cut back to her mother briefly before settling on the queen.
