i've come forth to take my place at the octagonal table. what doth my lady require of me? shall i strum a lute for my lady's enjoyment? oh, i see that m'lady already has a lute strummer.....
then i shall read for her, the tales of our menfolk upon their glorious crusades and- alas, a fair matron fulfills this void.....
however can i serve thee, m'lady? shall i run correspondence for thee (or is it thou?)? mayhap correspondence isn't my strongest asset (olde english certainly isn't 
)... i might prepare thy sustenance, alas then the lady wouldst require the services of a royal food taster and i fear i would not last long. surely there is some niche i am best suited to fill! perchance i could screen the lady's suitors to ensure they are of acceptable stock? any capacity in which i could serve, i beseech thee!

'Twould, verrily! 
Mayhaps thou composeth poetry as well?

That's why I'm the princess
Mayhaps thou hast read my poetry then, Lady Shea?
...and she lived to tell the tale?...

*is startled indeed by the sudden conversation in this quiet place. so startled in fact that she has dropped her embroidery needle.*
*as she bends to retreive it her hand slips and she pierces her dainty fingertip on the pointy end of the needle.*
aaaigh!!
please forgive me, m'lady!
