#is he bullshitting about being Elena's designated dragger? who knows

Josslyn, Josefin, Elena

“Oh, come off it. Elena’s practically a baby sister. Let’s see... well, I do faintly recall an occasion, or two, at least, where I’ve had to drag her to her own damn bed after she’s drunk herself senseless. And made sure she had bread and water to sober herself on. Then left her to the headache. Even a brother can only do so much, after all. 

I do stand by what I said, in her majesty’s case. Not that she needs a king, but that’s the idea - I really can’t think of anything I’d rather do less than rule. So, there you are. A queen without some man and his ideas to bother about. She could do ever more wondrous things, free of all that nonsense. I think.

And the Lady de Claire… well, it would make quite the romantic episode, wouldn’t it, if her darling - the Eagle Knight, in shining armor, on his majestic if miserably ill-tempered steed - were to swoop in and save her from the axe. Sounds like quite the tale. I could tell that one for years to come.”
