Video Post//Claire's Room//Did It Again

[treadingdawn]

[Click. That's the sound of a Telmarine preparing a voice post, except oops this is a video feed.]

I do not see a problem with asking someone who might know better.

[Caspian says while setting the device down on a dresser. Know better about what, one might ask. He is barefoot and dressed in casual pants and a shirt. She is wearing a little sundress. Both are standing around a (poorly) half-assembled bed in her room as her stereo plays in the background.]

You will have to bring your music to a quiet...

[... ... ... A certain song starts. Dancing begins.]

[ooc: Hahahhahaa idek omg. Forward-dated to like 11am on July 6. Bed dancing choreography only, from her throwing stuff at him to the chest bump near the end, because there are no steam baths and korean drummers in her apartment. Also, CLAIRE IS TTLY WEARING A SUNDRESS NOT A NIGHTY and Caspian won't be losing his shirt 8(]

Everyone who viewed such a spectacle. Unless, of course, you want them to get the wrong idea?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Claire and I are friends, friends who happened to be cursed. There is no wrong idea.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Allowing anyone to see a man and a woman moving like that on a bed would inevitably lead to perverse opinions. Surely you are not that dim-witted?

1/2

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Perverse? It may suggest we have a relationship beyond simply being friends--which we do not--but I wouldn't call it perverse. Private, maybe...

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

But in any case it was an accident. It was not on purpose.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Rolling around on a bed leads to perverse ideas. Don't be innocent. [Says the 13 year old.] Regardless, the damage has been done.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Perverse for those who may wish they were in my position with far more illicit intentions. As a king, I would not demand I hold absolute control over the thoughts of others, but I do care for clarity. Have I damaged you?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

[He actually laughs.]

You damage me?

[And the laughter continues.

But then it stops abruptly.]

As a King, I urge you to watch your public persona closer in the future.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Then surely you require no apology from me, undamaged as you are.

I accept your caution.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I never wanted one, but you should apologize to the rest of the public. It is only proper for a King to account for his actions - even if he has to lie.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It is proper for a King to account for his actions when he has done wrong. There is nothing so wrong here, only a misunderstanding.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Misunderstandings can count against you in the long run.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Are you speaking from experience?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Of course. I am one of Queen Victoria's confidantes.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

And as a confidante have you protected her from many misunderstandings in your lifetime? In hers?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

More than once.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Well I can say despite our curt introduction I would not object knowing you better, sir?
