[ she laughs a little ]

Are you sure they wouldn't be jealous of a girl who's stronger than they are?

[partialities]

Oh they will!

[ a small huff as she finishes another flower crown, places it on top of dark curls and smiles ]

but men are simple creatures. highly likely they would have begun to fight among themselves - who shall be the gallant, handsome knight to ask for your hand in marriage.

[takingkarabusiness]

That seems like too much fuss if you ask me. I don't really need anyone fighting over me.

[partialities]

No? truly?

[ oh kara, you're an odd one ]

Used to be a bit of a dream to me. two handsome, gallant men competing for my love.

[ a bit of a giggle. instead she had one husband who cared more for man and another who was mad. childish dreams, still ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ this line of discussion feels slightly objectifying, but if Margaery wants that experience, then Kara can't really tell her it's wrong ]

I'm just not a fan of conflict. I'd rather be with one person who really cares for me than try to juggle more than that. I want friends, you know?

[partialities]

[ medieval ladies and their little games, really. ]

Oh?

[ a little grin ]

and is there such a person?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ Margaery, today is the day you find out that Kara can blush and her ears get pink ]

There... might be? He's at home, though.

[ and suddenly, the little queen is a girl of six-and-ten again, leaning forward, all smiles and keen interest ]

You never said! Tell me everything. What is his name? is he handsome? more importantly, is he kind? how did you meet?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ Kara becomes more of a school girl about this topic, too. ]

His name is James, and yes, he's very handsome and very kind. He became the art director where I work, but he started out as photographer. Actually, he worked with my cousin, and when I started doing hero things, my cousin asked him to come out and keep an eye on me.

He just broke up with his longtime girlfriend, though, and I don't want to be a rebound.

[partialities]

James?

[ she tastes the syllables, a good, strong name, not one familiar to her but handsome nonetheless. ]

He sounds very charming.

[ a little frown ]

What is a rebound?

[takingkarabusiness]

It's like... if you're with someone for awhile, and they break up with you, a rebound is the next person you date. In the moment, because emotions are running high, you think they're everything that you wanted from your previous relationship but didn't get, but in reality, it's motivated by your feelings of the other person.

Does that make sense?
