(in case the comments glitch out again) Velvet was so shocked by this offer, she almost dropped her goat. No one had ever offered to just … hang out with her. It was always ‘discussions blah blah war blah blah,’ and meetings and more meetings upon more meetings. Taking a break and becoming not as lonely sounded like a vacation to her. “Really?” she said, sounding more hopeful and enthusiastic than she wanted to. But she didn’t care. She didn’t even wait for an answer. “Yeah! Let’s go! I don’t care what my advisors think!” Ironically, while Hathor had thoughts about Velvet being responsible and reasonable, the queen herself was busy with thoughts upon thoughts of exitement and anticipation for this vacation trip. This was gonna be fun! She couldn’t wait! Not a single concern crossed her mind about the war—she was too busy being excited. She’d barely even thought things through a moment ago when she agreed to the offer. Velvet quickly began to finish her goat, a wide grin and a very excited expression on her face.
