No way! She’s all cute and sheltered and whatever. I wasn’t even allowed to talk to her.

You're both strangers in a strange land with some messy parentage. Both have a lot of staff and guards you need to win over. Both probably a little scared of what it all means.

You're a different kind of cute though.

[Shaking her head, she wraps an arm around Adora's side, leaning her head into her shoulder.]

… I really like you, you know. [ She rests her head on Catra’s. ]

[missedorientation]

That's good. Cause I like you too.

[ She hums a little, somewhere between appreciative and displeased but— ]

My mom said it was weird for royals to only have one kid, since… heirs and stuff. I guess that’s at least one thing they don’t have to worry about.

[missedorientation]

Probably. But...

Well, best to keep both of you away of grandma. She's weird about that kind of thing.

[8footswordlady]

You keep mentioning her. I only ever heard about the king’s father…

[missedorientation]

She probably likes it that way. Grandma doesn't think a queen should be more well-known than the king. She...

She likes a lot of the stuff grandpa did too.

Your dad says she didn’t want women to have power. I still don’t get that.

[missedorientation]

I think... its weirder than that. She likes power, but she doesn't like to call it power. She likes power on her terms. No one else's.

[8footswordlady]

… I don’t get it.
