Guard1: We'd better find those intruders or captain will have our balls on a plate!!
Guard2: Now there's something I didn't understand...why didn't the captain change the lieutenant back into a man when he got the powder back? I mean, it was just as much his fault the that the prisoners escaped the dungeon.
Guard1: Because the lieutenant is the queen's second cousin, and she doesn't much like the captain.
Guard2: So?
Guard1: Well, the captain is worried she will pressure the king to have him replaced...but that's not going to happen if the lieutenant is a girl.
Guard2: Then why doesn't the queen just have him changed back??
Guard1: (Sigh) Because not even the king can order the use of a holy artifact. It can only be used in accordance with tradition.
Guard2: But he ordered it to be used on Jad, didn't he?
Guard1: Yes, but the king has not been paying too much attention to tradition lately.
Guard2: You better watch who you say things like that to about the king.
Guard1: And you'd better watch who hears your talk about the captain.
Guard2: Point taken.
