Sharpe:My words to you were harsh, for that I am sorry. The words towards your husband? I am not sorry. He had that coming.

Klaire: I am sorry as well for my words spoken to you.
*crosses her arms
And on his behalf I would like to apologize as well, he is very.... passionate, about the welfare of the kingdom.

(Sharie^)

Sharie:What is your husband's problem with me? Where I'm from? Or does he just not like women in power

Drake: Is this such a bad thing?! We'll lose more of our house if I marry the Princess-

Bryse: -It will tie us closer into the royalty, Drake. Our house will be more closely aligned to the Thorne's than any other house. My longevity will be extended and so will yours.

I am soon to have children with my wife.

Drake: *scoffs*
You've tried to get her pregnant since your honeymoon, Bryse. Do you not think she is barren?

Bryse: ...
*he takes a deep breath
She is not barren. I have been careful with her. I knew she needed more experience before having children. But now she must be ready.

Klaire: *she lightly chuckles
^Women in power, I remember he once telling me that he believes only a select few of women are such capable, and he has yet to see one in his lifetime.^
He's just...
*crosses her arms
Well, he's obviously just looking out for his house, just like how you are.

Klaire: ^Perhaps that's why he doesn't understand my ways, he expects me to embrace my femininity... I have learn to do so. I wear the dresses, I curl my hair, i wear makeup.
And yet he has still to compromise with me, he needs to accept me more. The people in Fisher's Dock appreciate me, why can't he? Why does he act ashamed of me?^

(*learned*)

Sharie:You make excuses for him, that's why I refuse to marry, I'm scared my husband will be a man I must make excuses for. I've had children. They did not survive past birth. The Swamp is a dangerous place for babies.

Drake: She's not, brother. We both know this-

Bryse: It's not her decision anymore. I allowed her freedom, now she must do what is best for our house. She knows this time is coming.

Drake: *he shakes his head
You married the wrong woman, she isn't cut out for this.

Bryse: She is. She just doesn't know it.
She has potential. Even potential for political power, but yet she chooses to not understand.

(Also i added something under the Practices Across the Lands you should read!)

Klaire: *doesnt respond about the excuses part
I'm sorry about your kids.

Sharie:*chuckles
My first was born when I was 13 years old. An old Voodoo man raped me. My parents knew him. He was the village's medicine man. No one said anything to him because of what he knew.

(Im off to class, ill mail you later when im out!)

(Okay! And I read it!!)

Klaire: I, uh...
I'm sorry.
*she looks off to the balcony
I was married when I was 13. But for some reason he never....
*clears her throat, she doesn't need to reveal too much*
