"Merci, monsieur. I tried, but was often thwarted by my husband and members of his own family. They did not take to me very well."
((I have no idea what they're going to do, either))

*Richard's eyes narrowed, and he decided to be blunt.*
"But they live no longer, your majesty--and you do."

*She suddenly straightened, adopting a much more regal air that came with years of practice*
"Oui. I have beaten time, and I alone remain. The plotting of my enemies was for naught."
*She eyed Richard carefully*
"And what of you, monsieur? Is it the same?"

*Richard's eyes glittered.*
All men are my enemy.
"They follow where I go, your majesty. But plotting is what I am good at."

"I'm sorry to hear that. But perhaps, we can get rid of those demons following you while we put together our plans."
*She had a gleam in her eye, as well--a gleam of determination. She would clear her name. And France would love her again*

*Richard's eyebrows raised. She sounded like she meant it. Perhaps he had underestimated her taste for his sort of diplomacy.*
"Nothing on God's green earth would please me more, your highness," *he said.*

"I appreciate your straightforwardness, monsieur. After all the years of being around simpering nobles, you are a breath of fresh air."

*Richard eyed her for some sign of dissembling.*
"You do not find my manner crass and discourteous, majesty?" *he asked carefully.* "My philosophies twisted to match my unmade body?"

"Non. I have learned long ago that one must never judge by appearance."

*Richard blinked, part of his stone cold heart softening slightly.*
"Truly?"
*He hated sounding so pathetic, but he had not at all expected such sentiments from someone like Marie Antoinette. She was so... polished. So shallow-seeming.*
"You are wiser than your people gave you credit for then, your highness. Methinks we will make a good team."

"Oui, truly. During my reign I learned many things and changed as a person, though the public failed to see this."
*she somewhat awkwardly patted his arm before quickly pulling her hand back*
"I believe, monsieur, no one will know what hit them when we get started on our mission."

*Richard smiled at her, still rather entranced by the fact she'd touched him. Of her own accord.*
"Indeed, majesty," *he said, inclining his head to hide his expression.* "It will be one for the history books."

((I STILL don't know where they should be going)) *She smiled a bit wider at that* "Indeed. History is in for a surprise. "

**NEW DAY**
*Now that they had a definite plan of action, Marie was eager to get things moving along. She all but rushed--still managing to look ladylike--back to her rooms in the opera house*
"At last, at last...action."

*Richard waited respectfully outside. He could do little in this Henry's view, but hoped he would be useful in the shadows.*
