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. |
