Bridget tried not to look too pleased about the situation when the King accepted her petition without making her go through anymore rigmarole. Saved them both the agony, frankly. It was bad enough that she'd had to come here; he had to know, after ten years, how much she hated it. Probably just didn't care. She would have been astonished if he had.
He didn't dismiss her, however, instead having her kneel. It was a bit awkward in a dress. But this wasn't unheard of, or even a bad sign. It would let her keep an eye out for Tiff, and if the King was keeping her, it was likely because he'd want her around for tribute. A solid win, as long as he didn't keep her on the floor through all of the days petitions, ruining her plans for getting there early and removing herself from his dragonly presence as fast as possible. It seemed like something he'd do.
Also, people were sausages, arguably bloodwurst. She was surprised the humans were just now realizing this. One could, she supposed, make the argument that sausage meat needed to be ground first, and that one would need to thoroughly tenderize a human before it could be counted as sausage, but that seemed rather petulant. Wise ruling, as ever, from the King.
Now it was Tiff's turn, and Bree thrummed with nerves. That dread turned out to be completely valid when she managed to completely avoid the phrases 'your Highness' and 'your Majesty' during the whole entire speech, but Bree was almost too distracted to care. Caution forgotten, she stared over her shoulder at Tiff, jaw slightly slack.
She had ideas. And figures. And a notebook stand. The notebook had charts in it. She had clearly drawn them up herself.
Bridget's tail thumped dully against the ground in a beat that matched her pounding heart. Up until that moment, her attraction to women had been largely conceptual. She thought so, but given her use of the King as a stick measure for what was attractive, it had just never really come up. But it was coming up now. And how. The King might as well not have existed. They could have been alone in the room and Bree was still pretty sure she'd be stuck on her knees, staring like a dumbstruck fool.
