She's bored.

She's groomed Corella, and she's practiced her archery, and she's had hot chocolate, and now she's sitting in a tree and dangling her legs and considering dropping things--tiny things, mind you, like twigs, non-inclined-to-injure things--on people should they pass by.

So. Bored.

It takes a little while - though not so long as it might once have taken - before Mary's made her way to Lucy's branch and taken a seat next to her, skirt dangling around skinny knees.

Seriously: "Hello."

"All right, I suppose," Mary says, and kicks her feet, in a vaguely disgruntled fashion.

"Wellard is on the ship. And Sansa left. But," she adds, after a beat, "I got books."

"I don't know." Sulkily. "I suppose they did not like it enough here or something - at least Sansa did not. Wellard is only being stupid because Jack told him to."


The chocolate is accepted, and nibbled, solemnly.

"The books are nice. I ought to write a note to thank Mr. Tam."

"Most of them," Mary says, thoughtfully, after a pause.

"Dickon is not. Dickon knows things. And Duo is only sometimes."

"He is older than me."

(Because the most important thing about him is, clearly, how he relates to Mary.)

"Twelve, I think."

With confidence: "I do not think that Dickon will ever be stupid. Except only when he is being too good for his own good; but that is a different kind of being stupid."

A considering pause.

"- Duo is stupid like that too. It is much too common."

A little startled: "He is my friend."

And that's all that there is to it, really.

"Yes," Mary agrees - cheerful enough herself.

"He was one of my first friends. It was him and the robin. And then Ace and Duo and Archid here."

"They are mostly all stupid sometimes."

Mary apparently accepts this with equanimity.

"That is why it is a good thing I am around."

"I am sensible," Mary informs Lucy, solemn eyes round in her pointed face.

. . . well, she's not going to turn down more chocolate. Though eventually she'll get full.

"Even if I am contrary."

Mary gives her a look.

A look that says: 'I am fond of you, but you are crazy.'

"Contrary," she says, patiently, "is not adorable. Adorable is pretty and sweet and good."

That gets a rather startled glance.

"- you never said," Mary says, rather accusingly, "that you were a Queen."
