Re: Hannah & Jeremiah; Jester's Court
She considered and considered, glancing at him, at the gate, at him, at the gate, and her expression really, really deliberately thoughtful. "If I let you go first, it would be very chivalrous, and if we encounter something really scary then you can fight it off and be really heroic. If I go first, then I can be a model to all little princesses everywhere, and maybe girls don't always need to be saved by the handsome prince." Thinking thinking, and she touched her hips in search of a sword she didn't have.
She cocked her head to the side, and she smiled a smile at him that was all mischief on pink and cream. "I don't need a sword," she finally said, and she took off ahead of him, up and up and up the old and unsafe stairs, in search of whatever creature awaited them at the top.
