[Aurora is fiddling with the strange new technology, although the more observant may notice a bunny paw just on the side of the camera.]

I- yes, I do believe we've finally figured out how to do this.

[The animals around her all give cries of excitement. She laughs and then returns to regard the video.]

Hello, I am Princess Aurora, daughter of King Stefan and Queen Leah. [She offered quite the graceful curtsey to her invisible audience. Her owl and the other animals around her offer bows as well. That little trick might be more impressive than anything else she has to say.] But please just call me Aurora. [She'd say Rose but then she has to explain the WHY.]

Growing up, I had to learn herbal remedies, salves, and various other natural medicines to help with illnesses and pains, which is what I shall be dedicating my farm towards. If you are in need of anything for something as minor as stomach trouble or a headache to a more serious cold, then I will be happy to try and assist in any way I can.

[The owl gives a soft "hoo!" as if to remind Aurora that she has to make a living, this cannot be done for free.] Oh yes, thank you for reminding me. We shall work out a fair price upon your arrival.

I wish you all a wonderful day otherwise and wish you well.

I thought perhaps you were Mer yourself, when I considered your way with animals.

[What a polite young woman. Lolelle is always happy to help a human who isn't rude to her. The young ones were always a hit or miss.]

Perhaps it lies dormant, in you?

Oh, well, I was raised by fairies, if that answers any questions? But to my knowledge, I have no magic.

I see... It does.

[Her eyes crinkle into a smile and she laughs.]

Perhaps I can still help you. I can create spell scrolls, healing magic, that anyone can use. It would help you help others.

Ah, that's wonderful, my lady! Perhaps we can add some of that magic to the remedies themselves! If you are willing, of course.

Of course.

[She gives another little wave.]

My name is Lolelle, in any case. It's nice to meet you, Aurora.

A pleasure and privilege to meet you as well, Lady Lolelle. [Look, when being rude caused her whole curse situation, Aurora is going for as polite and nice as possible.]

[Oh no, Lolelle completely would understand. She's a bit sassy and rude in her old age, but she appreciates polite humans more than anything.]

There's no need for that, dear, you can call me Lolo if you'd like.

Is your property far from town? I would like to see your wares.

Lolo then. [She loved it. It was like how her godmother wished to only be referred to as that.]

I am closer to the forest so I can be near my animal friends and the ingredients it offers. I can put on some tea for your arrival.

That sounds lovely. I'll have to come and find you.

[It's a while later (a good bit of walking out in the sun makes her bones ache just a bit,) when Lolelle arrives. She's shed her heavy winter robes for a much lighter dress she was able to trade at the store, though she's opted for a scarf to protect her head from the sun for now.]

[When she reaches Aurora's happy little farm, she puts her staff (a great gnarled thing that glowed, clearly very magical,) away and waves as she approaches the home, knocking on the door frame before poking her head in.]

I've thought of this as well, living near the woods. There's much more shade here.

[When Lolelle arrives, she will quite quickly notice the number of forest animals just idling about the property, even a pack of wolves seems to be lazing about in the shade of the pear and apple tree, the trees were old and tall, clearly having been there long before Aurora arrived. At the door, is a whole parliament of owls sitting atop Aurora's roof, watching her intently but without any sort of suspicion or malice.]

Coming! [Aurora opens the door and smiles, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.] Lolo! You're just in time, I just took the tea off the stove. Please come in.

Thank you, dear.

[She comes in with a polite nod toward the owls. If she were Bosmer she might care a bit more about the animals present, but it's pretty adorable nonetheless. As long as it makes the girl happy, she supposes.]

This is such a quaint little cottage, it suits you.

I am far more acquainted to cottages than I am castles, I admit. I grew up in a cottage. [She offered as she brought out the tray of cups and a teapot, sugar, honey, and milk all in proper (if mismatched at the moment) dishes.]

I thought I was a foundling.

Mm, I see.

[She finds it all quite adorable. She comes to sit with her at the table, setting her things beside her on the floor. She's brought Aurora some things of her own.]

Anything is possible, of course, the true heir to the empire in my day was a bastard.

[Lolelle isn't implying that about Aurora, she's just very blunt.]

Though, I'm sure it could be overwhelming to you...

[She began to pour the tea, and in every action she's graceful, every movement is easy and without an ounce of calculation but still so fluid. It's a careless grace, in a way.]

I admit, I was not exactly excited by the news of it all like so many others might be to find out they are, in fact, royalty. But, I have a duty to my kingdom and my people. In the end, their well being is to be my greatest concern.

[Very poised, and beautiful. Lolelle appreciates it. She helps herself to some sugar cubes and just a tiny bit of cream.]

I feel as though anyone uprooted from the home they've known all their lives would be a bit overwhelmed, not matter what the situation.

[She doesn't remember much, but she remembers being displaced from her homeland.]

It's very strong of you, to keep that attitude.

I admit I am not nearly as strong as I present myself to be, there were quite a bit of tears on my part. [She put honey into her own cup and nothing else.]

But... I am their princess, and trying to run from that fact doesn't really change it.

You're a very mature young lady.

[Lolelle sips her tea, letting Aurora talk as much as she likes.]

You will be a wise queen.

[She blushed and bowed her head in thanks.]

Thank you, that is very kind of you to say and I am most grateful to hear it. I hope my husband is a good king as well.

Hmm... You will simply have to educate him if he's not.

[She laughs a little.]

I was once a court wizard, I've seen many royals come and go.

I... may have a chance to find out sooner than I realized... he's... here. [She inhaled.]

It's... not what I was expecting at all.

But I-I'm sure we'll get along wonderfully, he seems kind.

What was it like to be a royal court wizard? What did you do?

[Lolelle wonders about that... Aurora doesn't seem very excited about it, but she won't say anything. For now. Maybe she'll keep an eye out for this guy.]

I helped my count with various different things through the years, from basic advice to dealing with things like vampire outbreaks and rogue mages. Things of that sort, be it magically involved or not.

We were very close.

Vampire outbreaks? What is a vampire? [She knows dragons, elves, fairies, kelpies, unicorns, goblins, trolls, and a whole slew of other mythical creatures, vampires is not one of them.]

Ah forgive me... were?
