*She stared at her objectively.*
"Not in that condition, and not with the vampire population I know to exist in this city roaming about."

*************NEW DAY******************
*Queen Tearbird was walking around in Paris, careful not to be seen by her husband or any of her servants. All she needed now, was some peace and quiet.*

**NEW DAY**
*Marie and Richard's previous conversation, and day together, hadn't been especially fruitful. Since then, she hadn't been able to find him again and she'd grown rather concerned. Wandering about Paris, not at all afraid to be a woman unescorted, she still searched for him. She wondered, not for the first time, if he'd vanished on her for good*

((This is a terrible way to find someone. But I'll let it slide. )) *Richard rode up incongruously on his charger. He'd barely seen the queen, preoccupied as he was with his thoughts of Beatrice, but her elaborately coiffed hair halted him. He slowed to a stop and slid from his horse to bow before her.* "Your highness," *he said.* "You must be more careful."

((Hee))
*His appearance from out of nowhere startled her--enough so that she broke etiquette and forgot to use his proper address*
"Richard!"
*She beamed, giving a curtsy in return*
"I was starting to worry about you. I hadn't seen hide nor hair and wondered about your well-being."

"My apologies, your highness," *he said, astonished by her curtsy.* "I found myself embroiled in some intrigue--a maiden required rescue, and I was to hand. But how fares your majesty?"

"Oh, but apologies aren't necessary if you were helping another. I can understand that."
*She heaved a sigh*
"As for myself, I've unlucky in my investigations. It looks as though there IS no power center here in Paris, which is of course nonsense. It must simply be very well hidden."

*Richard frowned.*
"It doth sound like folly, indeed. But in my investigations I have found the same to be true. It is, indeed, a world not much like that which I left."

*Her nod was an emphatic one*
"There are things here the likes of which I've never dreamed of, and yet there are also things that should have gone out of use long ago. We'll find it. And if not..."
*She lowered her voice*
"Well, there are other ways of gaining our goal."

*Richard allowed some of his own, secret smile to show through.*
"Indeed, your majesty. But perhaps we should not bandy words on open streets, such as this. It is not seemly--either for you, or our cause."

*She glanced about before meeting his eyes again*
"Wise words, my good sir. We should find a more suitable spot."

*Richard looked around.* "There is a café, but perhaps that is not private enough. What think you, your majesty?"

"Sounds reasonable. We could procure a spot away from what others may be there. And, at the same time as making plans, satisfy other concerns."
*She patted her stomach*

*The thought of the queen of France dining in a common café filled Richard with perverse glee.
Either that, or he was starving.
He bowed and offered his good arm.*

*Smiling, she took Richard's offered arm and followed him to the cafe... *
