"Life is always in motion, always changing - but the cycles remain as they have in the beginning. Variations on a pattern, devoted to a single purpose." The particularly talkative cat's speech was interrupted by yet louder purring as Valerie really took advantage of the situation at hand. Her fur was especially soft and smooth, perfectly pettable. She was very warm on top of the vampire's belly. "Ahh, but this is also good. Keep doing that."

That was until her face scrunched up in confusion. Consideration.

"But.... princesses become queens, do they not?" She looked up to Sakura. "Indeed, would not she be the princess to your queen, now?"

Sakura

Sakura grinned. "My King was once a princess, but decided that she would be better served claiming the title of king, not queen." Her fangs grew more pronounced as she smiled, shifting her arm underneath Valerie's pit to get a little more comfortable. "Her motivations are a well kept secret, so you'll have to ask her about that."

She looked down at Valerie and nodded—change was needed, vital even. It had been engrained in her psyche since childhood. The need to pass on her crest and to expand upon it had always been an absolute imperative, and the quest for ineffable perfection drove her. She could well imagine how Valerie must feel seeing the same city hundreds or thousands of years later, without change.

Valerie

Valerie kept petting the cat and even scratched her behind her ears. The fur just felt wonderfully against her and the sounds the cat was making in response were heavenly to listen to.

"No she is my guard and one of the people vying to be my mate. Any new princesses of my kingdom would have to be carried by me, unfortunately only the most virile of species stands a chance of conceiving with my kind, so you will have to wait to see that which you desire."

Then her smile turned more mischievous. "Besides if you claimed a King instead, you would not have to worry about maintaining my purity..."

"I'm not even quite sure." Her pointed ears twitched, following Thorra's voice. "Strictly speaking, she should already be dead. When the princess of Endien becomes queen, her years are already numbered. I do not know how my mother has lasted longer than that, and I do not know for how much longer she can endure. She could last another hundred years longer than she should, or she could pass this evening and war would be upon us in an instant."

She picked at one of her fingernails with the other, and bit her lip in discontent.

"To take on such a journey now, uncertain?"

Thorra

"Yes. The urgency makes it even more urgent. If the cycle remained functional, you would not be worrying so. I know well of them—as some point, ragnorok shall come and the world shall be clensed only to be reborn. Fate is not so easily changed. You'll have to look outside the box in order to break its chains."

Thorra paused for a moment, then continued with a greater sense of urgency. "If not now, when? When all is lost?"

"Huh. However, Eruraviel's example suggests to me that purity is a very minor element behind the mighty allure of princesses. Is my living example truly an anomaly in this regard?" Sage's head turned so that Valerie's fingers could properly pamper her twitchy ears as well. "Has my understanding of princesses been truly so flawed...?"
