Royal Questions (D17, LN, Closed)

[Leonora Stone]

She listened intently, and then smiled warmly. "So you mean to say you and yours just... happened... to stumble across this world full of treasure that was kept as secret from me, and this fool of mine didn't even bother to search... I do wonder what he has been doing with his time..."

Stepping back, she regarded Bruun, and added, simply, "Thank you, Lt. Bruun. You've been most helpful... perhaps we can speak more tomorrow, but for now I'm afraid I am going to have to go get some answers of my own. Try to make yourself comfortable... should I send one of my girls to bring you anything, handsome?"

[Dorgan Bruun]

Bruun looks around the storage room.

"Reckon if I'm staying awhile a blanket would be nice, and some water. You know about needing to stay hydrated, as a fellow mechwarrior." He tries to keep a disinterested look at mention of the queen's girls.

[Leonora Stone]

She smirked, and then nodded. "Yes, piloting a mech can get you so hot and sweaty. I'll tell them to bring you something. You're a valuable guest, after all. Good night, Lt. Bruun." With a playful little wave of her fingers, she turned and departed.

It was almost a quarter of an hour later that a thin, fit woman wearing camouflage fatigues, arrived, dropping off a simple military comforter, a canteen full of water, and a pack of dried rations... that at least didn't seem to have expired. Honestly it was probably better than he had expected. The woman didn't stay, meaning he was basically on his own, with nothing but time and an empty room for company.
