Perhaps Charlotte had been a little to harsh? Charlotte could never understand such things, really. The truth was the truth, and she didn't understand why people didn't like hearing it when it came to things like this. People in Astril had always been the same way. Always with the boot licking and trying to make themselves both appear better than hey actually, and getting the slightest bit offended when someone told them they were being ridiculous. Still, Aislinn looked a bit...hurt. After the native had objectively been nice to her, too. ... Charlotte spent the next few minutes checking her chemicals and things. Cait was asleep, as she had expected so she was able to work quickly enough. The alchemist had thrown something together rather quickly. She didn't know exactly how good it was since she didn't have the usual materials, but from a few preliminary tests it [i]should[/i] work. After another few minutes, she walked back outside, standing next to Aislinn and leaning against the same rock. [color=bc8dbf]"Here."[/color] She said, handing her a glass flask filled with a yellow colored liquid. It was a simple, sweet drink that would hopefully make her feel even a tad bit better. Whether Aislinn accepted or not, Charlotte didn't seem to particularly mind. After a few seconds she'd continue anyways. [color=bc8dbf]"Being all pouty doesn't suit you, Aislinn."[/color] She had only known the other girl for a fairly short time, but if she had to be honest Charlotte did rather like the other girls attitude most of the time. For multiple, not exactly all extremely nice reasons. [color=bc8dbf]"You know, being a Queen isn't all that its made out to be. You have tons of responsibilities, and maybe end up having to do some pretty mean things to people sometimes. Being in positions like that tends to change people too, you know. Seen it a number of times myself back where I'm from. People I used to work with getting promoted and then act like they're better than everyone else, bossing other people around and cutting all contact with their old friends."[/color] Charlotte paused for a moment, giving Aislinn time to process that bit before continuing. [color=bc8dbf]"It's fine to want to be queen of something. It is, really but just going around saying you're queen of something doesn't just make it happen. You need to work at it. Convince people you're worth being their queen and won't be a tyrant that just bosses them around for her own whims and desires. But you know, I kind of prefer you...not being a queen. Not because I don't think you couldn't do it if you wanted...but well...you're a good person, I think, Aislinn. I'd rather you not loose that."[/color]
