they also swing in lianas - i don't

But, there a plenty of ropes hanging from masts and such on ships. I've seen that watching "Captain Blood" at the movie theater as a dragonlet.

yeah, we let him do that just to keep him happy

So, all don't swing around the masts?

some of the less fortunate ones swing from masts

but let's not go there now, it's a beautiful morning, i just had me a nice mug of and toast with cheese

i say, do you use a regular toaster or do you just breathe on your bread, ?

also how much is you fire insurance? i would imagine insurance companies would be reluctant to insure a with a cold or a hickup? i mean a sneeze from a full grown might burn down a castle in no time, no?

Well, toasters have the advantage that they can be set for how much toasted you want your bread to be.

with lousy morning temper, especially before morning is less predictable

Fire insurances work the other way. The insurance companies pay me to not burn down castles

ooh, sounds like a nice deal you've got there

are there many castles were you live?

No

Nobility, cray fish and oaks are said to not cross Dalälven (a large river) which once was thought to be the geographical (and political) border between the uncivilized North Sweden and the rest (civilized part) of Sweden.

Castles are more prevalent in the southern semi-danish parts

what do you mean semi-danish

since her majesty Queen Margrethe 1st it's all danish

which you should be proud of

As far as I remember the last danish king in Sweden was king Kristian 2nd aka the Tyrant who was forced to leave 1521.

After the peace treaties in Brömsebro 1645 and in Roskilde 1658 the presence of danish royalty has been more frequent though. Marriages between danish princesses and swedish princes seemed to be a way of staying friendly

are you proposing?

not really... Didn't know you are a danish princess. I thought your Queen only had sons.

You shouldn't believe in all the old stories about and princesses. That's just tales

you are right, i'm not a danish princess - but: don't just discard all the stories of old. for one thing: you can't prove them all wrong

Well, for one thing. I don't eat princesses, danish or not.

Even if must admit that the kind of bread that the americans call danish (wienerbröd) is nice, especially with

but... you do eat princes?

Never a full meal. Just nibble a little

so i should feel safe?

Depends on how much flesh you can spare

i could lend you a bit

As long as you keep the wooden leg. I don't like splinters in my mouth.
