[Sorry, Jack, Hattie's back. She's covered in mud again, and she looks pissed.]

WHAT is going on??

Is there another trick happening at the port!? Whoever started this better fix it right now! 

All of my things are in that house and she won't let me in!

[She then proceeds to whine.]

I want a bath! And my dresses! And my make-up! And my mirror! And my shoes! I can't live like this, I'm a PRINCEEEEEEEESS!

I would think that I know my father better than you do.

[video]

[blondandperfect]

And what do you 'know' exactly? That someone like him wouldn't associate with someone like me, perhaps? Please elaborate.

[video]

[bratziska]

Not only that, but he's... [ gone, but she can't say that. ] missing.

[video]

[blondandperfect]

[She looks taken aback.]

W- What? Really?

[She frowns.]

Well just so you know, I'm in his debt. But here I don't have the power to find a missing person.

[video]

[bratziska]

[ She considers this for a moment. ]

That's a pity. It would be useful if you did have such a power... but if my father does not return, as his sole heir here in Siren's Port, you would have to pay your debt to me, would you not?

[An unexpected twist! Hattie isn't certain she likes this turn of events, however.]

Er.. Well...

...

That's a surprising suggestion. After all, I'm not someone you'd associate with, right?

[video]

[bratziska]

[ She scoffs. ]

I didn't say I would advertise it.

[video/Private]

[blondandperfect]

[Well, that's good enough for Hattie. It could certainly be worse.]

Fair enough. That said, I suppose I can't argue with that logic. We'll see what happens, I suppose.

[This was not a conversation she was expecting to have!]

[video/Private]

[bratziska]

[ That went better than expected. ]

So... just what was it that you owed him?

[video/Private]

[blondandperfect]

That's a good question; he didn't get a chance to tell me.

[She figures should Fran accept, it would be something simple like buying dinner. She isn't completely against an easier way out.]

I doubt you have any interest in anything an adult would want, so I'll give you some time to think of something I can buy for you, all right?

[video/Private]

[bratziska]

Don't just assume what I am and am not interested in. [ A beat. ] It can be anything?

[video/Private]

[blondandperfect]

[She giggles.]

Of course, you're right. [She's just humoring, of course.] And yes, anything.

So what will it be? A dress? Shoes? A doll? A pup, perhaps?

[video/Private]

[bratziska]

[ She scowls through most of the suggestions, although her eyes do lighten at the last... but there's further deliberations to be made here. She shouldn't be hasty - her father would not make any such mistake, and nor would she! ]

... Was it definitely something material?

[video/Private]

[blondandperfect]

[Oops, she's sharper than Hattie expected. The blonde is silent for a moment, as if trying to figure out what this girl could be thinking of.]

Well, I.. I suppose it's possible it could be something immaterial.. But I'm not a witch or anything like that.

[video/Private]

[bratziska]

[ Too bad. ]

I'll need some time to think on it.

Re: [video/Private]

[blondandperfect]

Interesting.

[She decided to try to put a little pressure on the teen.]

Well, don't take too long; before you know it your father will be back and this would end up an opportunity wasted, wouldn't it?

Until next time, Miss Von Karma.

[bratziska]

[ Hah, woman. It's like you don't realize that her father returning would be ten times better than anything she could give Franziska. ]

When he returns he'll best know what to do with you. But indeed. Until next time.
