Having arrived in her chambers after her three days in the library Queen Ereshkigal has asked her bodyguard Lye to go to the kitchen and get her something to eat- saying that of everyone Lye would know her favorite foods and perhaps that would help her feel able to eat. How ever she has another reason for asking this favor of Lye-a reason Lye is likely aware of- Her General wishes to speak privately with her.
So sitting on her bed- carefully stretching her aching legs the young queen waits for Zarek to say what is on his mind.

Zarek stands in front of the queen, arms crossed, face showing no emotion of caring, just the normal stone face of the General. "You know you shouldn't do such things, she who is the queenie. You have your duties to attend to."

Her Majesty grimaces at the pain in her legs and shoots Zarek a look.
"You know I hate being called that. Besides- it was like losing Father all over again. You remember how I was after that." The tone of her voice suggests that it was dark dark time for the young queen.

Zarek sighs and looks at his Queen. "Yes, I know how you were after your father died. I was one of your bodyguards back then, and it made our job that much harder. But this isn't your Father that just died. You have duties to attend to still."

She looks up at him fondly for a moment, a tiny smile on her lips.
"Ever dutiful. That's why I made you the general after Ryshadel, you know. While you don't feel much else you feel the wieght of duty." She smiles a little wider looking up at his serious face, then the smile falls away.
"It hurts to smile in so many ways... But you're right being a queen means that I can't also be a person."

Zarek backs away from the queen and looks down at her in bed. "First of, your a demon, not a person. And second, it is my duty to be....dutiful... My payment to your father was to obey his orders, and his last order was to obey you. I am the General of Hell's army's but that doesn't mean I'm not a fallen with issues, alot of issues. Doing my job is part of what I am. It gives fallen meaning to do something. You can, and will, still act like the queen and your normal self at the same time. It won't be long before your giving your poor guards head aches as you go running off to the mortal realm or going other places your not suppose to."

Ereshkigal looks down at her hands now in her lap"Yes but I wonder if my normal self and the queen are still the same person sometimes. I'm just not sure anymore..." She lifts her head to look at the doorway to the stairs on her tower.
"Lye is on her way back.."

Lye slowly backs into the room, holding a tray of things that would be delicious to any demon and sickening to any human. With a bowl of angel blood, for dipping.
"Is everything in order so that you can eat now, Ghostie-sama?" She gives a broad question to encompass that she'll leave if Ghostie isn't ready for her presence.

Her highness nods, her dress snaking out to lift the tray from Lye.
"I'm starving, Lye. Thank you so much!" The tray settles it's self on a table near the bed and the Queen smiles slightly at her two guardians.

Lye smiles back and chooses to hold off on serious discussion. "It's good to see that you're doing better already."

Zarek looks down at the Queen then at Lye. "I think she does this stuff just so she can lay in bed, play her hand-game-thingie and make the members of the court act like mere servents for her enjoyment."

"Oh, come now, Zarek. Let's be reasonable. She's the Queen...if she wanted to do that, she could outright." Lye cackles. "Then again, that way has no subtle torture. And what's amusing about subtle torture is subtlety."

The queen gives a dark little chuckle and makes a shooing motion a Zarek.
"Very well then General- run along like a good little servant and go do something militaristic." She laughs harder falling back against her pillow.
"Subtle indeed!"

"It was so subtle I had to use my special thinking powers just to decipher it."

Zarek bows to the Queen. "Of course, she who shall be known as the purple fuzz." He turns to leave, but first turns to lye. "Don't let her talk you into something degrading, like rubbing her feet or something." And then leaves

The Queen looks at Lye and munches on a small rotting object from the tray.
"Is it just me or does he get stranger everyday?" She pauses.
"I'm more or less sorry about everything lately..."

"He is definitely a...weird one, Puple fuzz." Lye has a joking tint in the last two words. She sits by Ghostie and wraps an arm around her. "You're feeling sorry, Ere? About what?"

Ereshkigal sighs, sounding weary.
"I keep running away, from my responsiblities as Queen.. at first it was all just a big fun game... but the fun is starting to wear out... I will always be Queen Ereshkigal... Papa will never come home." She reaches for another tidbit, sounding unhappy but matter of a fact.

Lye soaks in Ghostie's words, choosing her words carefully. She decides to be fully serious and uses her Queen's name to show it. "Yes, you are the Queen, Ereshkigal. And You will always be. It will be rough for a while...maybe a long while, and maybe a short while...but I know you. You hate this heavy responsibility but you manage it better than anybody else. Your father was the exact same way, I know it. That's why you were so special to him. That's why you are so special. You...have a balance like He did...rulers who are too playful are ineffective, but those who are too serious will be consumed. This too shall pass, as they say, and I know you can do what you need to do for the people of Hell. And I hope you know that I will never, ever stop being behind you one-hundred percent. And try not to be sorry. Just do better next time."

Her Highness looks at Lye and gives her a faint grin.
"Thank you." She settles back among the pillows and mutters "purple fuzz, huh?"
