[Video] VI [Failed!Lock to Cross & Lavi]

[1mistress_nomaster]

[She's in the Church, only familiar thing really to her, and it's so very accidental, but she's just... staring listlessly at the alter, fingers fiddling with her device. Looking but not really seeing. It's meant to be private, but she's just not concentrating at all. Usually, she'd rather die then let people see weakness like this, but it's such an old fear and frustration that she hardly even stops to wipe away tears, let alone think. Not that she cried for much more then frustration most times, and certainly not since she lost the war with Mary of Guise.

This was frustration, and a great deal of fear too.

At the very least she's manages enough to make sure Lin can't see this, she refuses to give the woman that satisfaction most of all, and she wished she could slap her again. Nor does she even know how to ask this question, so she's just blunt about it.]

Tell me, when I return, if I ever leave this cursed, wretched place, am I to be executed? Is that why everyone remembers me so much?

[He does successfully lock it so that she has that small comfort at least.]

You do not walk up to that platform, my lady, though you send others to it. You reach an old age before your natural death.

[Give her a moment, she's just going to sob into her hands then from sheer relief. She's still shaking badly though.]

Thank-you, very much.

You had to do nothing more than ask, my lady. I just thought that you would prefer not to know.

[1mistress_nomaster]

I don't, I didn't, I still never want to. But I was informed that was how I was to end my reign. [Seething, quietly.]

[outsidehistory]

They were just trying to upset you, whomever it was. [Or perhaps that's how it went in their world but he's telling her how it ended in his own and in her's.]

[1mistress_nomaster]

Well it worked, damn it all if I speak to her again. [Of that she was completely certain.] I still probably shouldn't of slapped her though. [She doesn't feel bad about it, but it's still awful.]

[beanstalk]

I'm going to assume you meant to send this to someone.

You will have to speak to her to apologize, you know. [Trying to figure out who this "her" is.]

[Locking-Text]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Have a locked text, clearly from Raven.]

Elizabeth, this...went to everyone. You didn't lock it appropriately. I can show you how to lock your posts, if you want. In the meantime, here's a code.

[INsert basic code here for locking.]

That, I refuse to. Mistress Lin isn't worth a single breath of mine. [Just a snarl.]

[1mistress_nomaster]

I did. [She's not even annoyed that he's seen this.]

video; private

[1mistress_nomaster]

I care little if it did or did not. As long as Mistress Lin does not see this, and I know I managed that much. [She just blinks tiredly, because honestly in the end it didn't bother her like it normally did. She wasn't used to privacy after all, and if she was to be executed, she'd do it in front of a crowd.]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Ah...I take it she said something to upset you badly. If it's what you're worrying about then unless that's what happened in her world...she's simply trying to hurt you.

You were not executed in the version of history I learned. You died a natural death, of old age.

[1mistress_nomaster]

I think you know well enough what she said to me, clever as you are.

[At Raven's words, she nods. Pressing a hand to her eyes even as her breath caught in another sob, but this time in relief.] Good. I did not fail my people and my family.

[Because that is what execution means. It's not simply dying.]

[beanstalk]

And you really want to know your future?

[outsidehistory]

...I see. I'll see if I can talk to her.

video; private

[1mistress_nomaster]

She can rot for all I care, but... do as you think is best, my lord.

video; private

[outsidehistory]

My words are only a suggestion.

[1mistress_nomaster]

No, not really. But if that is my fate, I'd rather have as much time to prepare for it again as is possible.

video; private

[1mistress_nomaster]

And I a good one, if I had the presence of mind to listen.

[Just going to grit her teeth and seethe. Would she were at home, there's a cold room in the tower waiting.]

[Video]

[chrysalis_ex]

Are you all right? [ Softly asks. ]

video; private

[outsidehistory]

I will talk to her for you, if not myself then Cross.

video; private

[1mistress_nomaster]

Cross will rip her to pieces again, perhaps that is not the best idea.

[She sighs, tilting her head back, her head was starting to hurt.]

voice; private*

[outsidehistory]

Then I alone will try. I do not mind. You should most likely be resting.

video; private

[1mistress_nomaster]

Do as you wish Lavi, but pleased don't put yourself to any trouble for me. In terms of facing execution, at least I am not in the tower this time, I just don't particularly feel kind, you cannot begin to know how frustrating this is for me.

[Because all of it is just sitting in a book waiting for her to read. The temptation is horrible.]
