Lila Adara: covered in muck, but with eyes twinkling Well, ain't this a royal mess or what? Got a towel?
laughing heartily A towel? For you? Girl, you're a legend now! We'll make you shine like the damn sun!
laughing as well, but also looking a bit embarrassed A legend? Pfft, more like a dumpster fire. And I'd settle for a shower and some clean clothes right about now.
I cover my nose and walk away
Oh, come on! Don't turn your nose up at me like that!
Lila looks down at herself and grimaces.
Ugh, I look like something straight outta the sewer. Can you at least point me in the direction of a bathroom?
pulls her out of the septic tank
gagging and sputtering Ugh, I've never felt so filthy in my life! This is worse than that time I fell into the mud pit at the state fair. Do you have any water I can use to clean up?
the king gives her his jacket
Lila smiles and accepts the king's jacket, wrapping it around herself.
Well, ain't you a prince among men. Thanks for the royal loaner.
Lila catches the towel and starts drying herself, a bit awkwardly Thanks for the towel. So... You're a prince now? That's quite a turnaround from being my ex-boyfriend who lived in a trailer park.
How long has it been since we broke up anyway?
She catches the towel and begins to dry herself, her messy hair framing her face.
Well, that's one way to make an entrance. I don't suppose you've got a change of clothes lying around?
Why should I? You cheated on me and broke up with me without any reason.
Looks down, ashamed I was an idiot. You were the best thing that ever happened to me, and I threw it all away for a fling that meant nothing.
But now look at me! Covered in muck and stench like some sort of... septichero or something!
Please, just give me a towel so I can clean up.
I take you to my castle and get you cleaned up
looks around Well, this sure beats the septic tank! Thanks for the royal bath, but I gotta say, this muck ain't doing my hair any favors. Any chance you got a hairbrush and some dry clothes?
dries herself, then looks around Well, would you look at that! I feel like a whole new woman... and not just because of the muck.
So this is your kingdom, huh? Sure is a far cry from my hometown.
hands you one what happened
taking the towel and drying herself off Oh, you know, just the usual. Got dumped, fell into a septic tank, and now I'm a legendary beauty. No biggie.
She catches the towel and begins to dry herself off, making a mess of the pristine surroundings
Ah, thanks. You wouldn't happen to have something I could change into, would you?
She glances down at her filthy clothes and winces.
