“Alchemy is a type of science. There’s also the study of the human body.” Her face flushes.

“Yes uh- well she can stay here with Harry for now right? We have the time. Maybe they can get to know each other a bit.”

Beatrice is working on her needlepoint by candlelight.

“I believe I’ll just retire after this row. Thank you ladies but I’ll put myself to bed tonight. You may be dismissed.” She smiles.

Her ladies maids after a great deal of goodnights leave. And she drops the needlepoint and locks the door after them grabbing a box and disappearing behind a screen to change.

“Peter… is that you? Or is there perhaps a large bird on my roof?” She asks playfully. From behind the screen.

[lady-beatrice-hardy]

Ivy sighs tiredly.

“First of all. Ew. Secondly there’s so many things wrong with everything you said I don’t know where to start.” She pats his hand somewhat fondly.

“We should get going then. Get all the information before doing a few tests. Come on Norman was a scientist. You should know this stuff!”

“So you were going to let this poor girl who’s father you murdered- marry your son and then have to deal with his madness from the curse?!” She pinches the bridge of her nose.

“How many days Norman? And how long would that trip take?” She frowns.

“Does the curse have to be broken before it takes hold?”

“Maybe not in the romantic sense. But familial true love exists.” Ivy replies. “True love is by definition self sacrificing…”

“I’ll help you all I can but maybe we need some actual wizards to help us puzzle something out. How much time do we have?”

“Okay well… curses usually can be lifted. Do you have the instructions for that or do we have to do a quest and find a wizard. Because I adore that boy at least in my universe. And I think one of you is more than enough Gobby…” Ivy replies.

“Well the court probably just wants to please you.” Ivy replies.

“I come from another time and place. Sometimes outside perspective is all you need…” she smiles softly.

She pats the bed next to her. Nonverbally asking him to sit by her.

“Now tell me about Harry. How is he doing? In my world he struggles with school and with socializing. He’s been kicked out of multiple schools. And he’s- well he’s a teenager. It can be hard for a single parent to raise a teenager.”

[lady-beatrice-hardy]

She’s entirely unbothered by his outburst. “No need to shout I’m right here. Have you asked them? Or- no maybe that wouldn’t be the best. Have you sent someone to talk to them for you? Is there sickness? Inequality? Education? Clean water? I’m sure there’s improvements you can make.”

She smiles charmingly at him.

“I’ll help however I can. That’s sort of what I do. Besides. If we are to be engaged. I’d want to help my fiancé.”

“Hated gets you less far. Hated gets you stabbed twenty three times by your senators. The ones you trusted.” She replies.

“At least in my world history. You mentioned rebels did you not? Well what problems do they have with your rule? You’re a man in a castle. They are an army. Hell even your guards could turn against you.” She reclines onto the bed a bit.

“I didn’t say you should.” She replies. “Did you have Cesar in this world?” She questions. Her smile all but dripping poison.

“You see where I come from. I’m a librarian at a school. One your son goes to. So I’m well versed in the rise and fall of empires. The history of mankind. Of war.”

“You’re only in a cage because you think you’re worthy to put other people in cages.” Ivy retorts. “You’ll never know true freedom or happiness.”

She sighs. “I’m as much a prisoner here as I would be in your dungeon. And no matter how pretty. A glided cage is still a cage. And I won’t be forgetting that.”

She laughs at that. “Weird is my normal. It has been for a while… but I suspect because you are a smart man. That you already knew that.” She smirks.

[lady-beatrice-hardy]

She hisses a bit before watching his face. Surprised at his gentleness.

The words Stockholm syndrome flash before her eyes momentarily.

A flush spreads across her face.

Ivy breaks into a fit of giggles.

“We don’t have magic like that in our universe. My sorcerer friend would tell me if I had an aura.” She replies.

“I think you’re just - lonely Norm.” She yawns. Her hands are still bleeding.
