Large as a Barge

[not_a_prize]

[Given the recent events Peola's been pretty irritated. Not just because of the GREAT Xun Ostberg, self proclaimed GIGA man (Though in all honesty he played a major part in things) but also the fact that Prometheus managed to get away through the whole thing (also partly Xun's fault). As such she was currently squeezing down on one of those stress ball toys... and it looked like it was about to explode from the amount of pressure she was putting on it as she muttered angrily to herself. The arrogant blowhard was thankfully not allowed anywhere near the Unity Group's facilities... and if he did get through Peola would have been tempted to introduce him to Kagura.]

By the sun... who else is going to end up chasing me here...

[She's deep enough in her irritation not to notice you. Talk to her?]

[Ken decides to dare tapping her shoulder.]

[not_a_prize]

[Which has her suddenly leap away to raise her hands, tense as you please before relaxing. Slowly.]

Ken... right... sorry.

[tiger_ken]

[Ken is... glad that didn't turn immediately into a fight. He's not in the best state for one, as various bandages can attest.]

I take it that your sister's work is already coming to fruition?

[not_a_prize]

Like you wouldn't believe...

[Peola slumped back onto the seat she was on moments ago, resuming her brutal crushing of the stress ball.]

Xun Ostberg. Local hero in the outer city of the capital - meaning practically a lot of people would have heard of that Sun Damned bonehead.

[tiger_ken]

So, thick headed, but... vaguely good intentioned? You know, aside of trying to get your hand in marriage and all that. Whats his story?

[not_a_prize]

He's just in it for the glory. A lot of the things people say about him are almost all about the 'daring deeds' he does and how strong he is. A lot of the maids back in the palace were all really impressed by it...

Me? Not so much. Especially since... well... you know.

[tiger_ken]

You were already twice the man he claimed to be?

[...That word choice might be deliberate by Ken.]

[not_a_prize]

Heh... Well that's one way of putting it.

[tiger_ken]

...admittedly, I do wonder one thing...

Maybe you could throw some suitors off by... being even more of a tomboy?

[not_a_prize]

Trust me, that won't work.

It just led to some of them thinking they need to force me into being more feminine.

Tossing the one that tried to get physical about it out the window just made them try to be more sneaky.

[tiger_ken]

Geez. And I was thinking that since they're doing this largely on the benefit to themselves, if there were some way to convince them its not worth it...

[not_a_prize]

Maybe...

[Peola lets out an irritated sigh.]

What I'd do for a brilliant idea....
