Library, Thursday [3/3]

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

It was peaceful in the library so far this morning.

Cassidy had done the rounds and hadn't found any books trying to make war on each other, so she was going to count this as a good thing.

After shelving the returns, she made her way back to the front desk. With her was a book on hand to hand combat and a book on Tai Chi. There was reason for her book choices, even if she had yet to say the reasons out loud.

She was however, looking up each time the door opened and was cheerfully ready to assist.

"If you can get it," Ender said. He glanced at the door, then back at Cassidy. "You're not as used to the vagaries of being a Queen as Karla is, are you?"

He wasn't passing judgement. He was interested.

Cassidy shook her head. "No, not at all. Until I came here and met Karla I had been of the belief that I would be an unimportant Queen because I'm not a powerful witch. I was content to be the best Queen I thought my power would allow me to be. I'm not going to rule a Territory like Karla has always known she would. Between being friends with Karla and Shira, and meeting Ranon, I'm learning that a great deal of my thoughts and ideas aren't correct. I thought that because of my lighter Jewel I wouldn't be in any kind of danger because I wouldn't be a threat to someone more powerful."

She gave Ender a small smile. "I'm learning that this was incorrect. Then again, I wasn't ever expecting to have a tie to a Warlord Prince, either."

"The world can be surprising that way," Ender said. And he would know, though he'd always known he was either going to be important or be pushed into the dirt, depending. "You don't have to have great physical or magical power to make a difference - a lot of wars are actually won on words and charm, instead."

"I have a lot of words," she said sheepishly. "Especially when I'm passionate about something. It's the charm part that I'm not really good at. I'm trying to learn to be better with that."
