Please, there must be some sort of mistake. I've told them - I can't be a princess, I'm not even from this place, I've no rightful claim, I-I'm only a baseborn girl.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to do insult to the honor done me. Only I'm not sure what is expected of me in such a role, and…and I would very much like to go home.

[ There's an animal whine from somewhere out of sight, and a nervous look flitters briefly through Sansa's eyes. ]

The man said… It can't be true, can it, that death does not bind here?

Well, since my world is now your world, the women of my world are now the women of your world.

So if we're fierce, you're fierce.

Got it?

Also, not all tales of princesses have them sitting and waiting to be saved.

[ladysarmour]

If it please you, magister. [ how does one address a mage? the rulers of the Free Cities are called magisters, and it sounds similar enough. ]

[sarcasticbite]

It's not about pleasing me.

It's about showing men that you're just as good as them.

And drop the formal titles. Just call me Nikki.

[ladysarmour]

As you say, Magister Nikki.

[sarcasticbite]

Nikki.

No Magister before the Nikki.

Just. Nikki.

And not as I say. Replace all of your "As you say", "If it pleases you", "If that's what you wish" with "Whatever"

Actually, replace anything that sounds remotely like you being submissive with "Whatever"

[ladysarmour]

I would not want to be impolite.

[sarcasticbite]

That's the point. Being polite is overrated.

[ladysarmour]

Courtesy is a lady's armor.

[sarcasticbite]

That's a pretty penetrable armor.

Men get the heavy armor that can protect you from attacks, yet women get courtesy? Shouldn't men have courtesy too?

[ladysarmour]

Some do.

[sarcasticbite]

Then what do women get that is rightfully to call 'their own armor'? Or just in general their own?
