Isabel: SIMON, WHERE WERE YOU? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?
Simon: I WAS ON THE RUN.
PEOPLE WANTED THE LIGHT THIEF.
Isabel: WHAT ABOUT TIFFANI?
Simon: ISABEL, TIFFANI IS YOUR FRIEND, ISN'T SHE? I HAD TO HELP HER. BUT YOU'RE MY GIRLFRIEND.
Isabel: BUT YOUR FRIEND SAID YOU BETRAYED HIM.
Simon: MY FRIEND?
WHICH ONE?
Isabel: THE ONE WITH THE DARK SKIN.
Simon: TENCI IS ALIVE?
DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?
Guard: LADY ISABEL?
YOU AGAIN?
Isabel: I NEED TO QUESTION THE PRISONERS SOME MORE.
Simon: (ISABEL, CAN YOU SPONSOR ME IN THE TOURNAMENT OF HONOR?)
Isabel: (WHAT? WHY WOULD YOU FIGHT?)
Guard: WHY ARE WE DOING THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUNERAL, ANYWAY?
DON'T TAKE TOO LONG, I WANT TO SEE THE WAKE.
Simon: (THE MONEY FROM WINNING, I COULD MAKE MYSELF RESPECTABLE AND IMPRESS YOUR FATHER.)
Isabel: (...I'LL SPONSOR YOU.)

---

Simon: ISABEL, WAIT.
Isabel: WHAT IS IT. SIMON?
Simon: ACTUALLY, LET'S JUST TALK OUTSIDE.

---

Mari: ANY SIGN OF WHAT TRIGGERED THE ALARM?
Guard: NO, M'LADY. IT SEEMS LIKE A ONE TIME THING.
MAYBE A JUDGE?
Mari: I DOUBT IT. THEY WARN US BEFORE USING MAGIC IN THE CASTLE.
WE NEED TO UPDATE THIS SYSTEM, MAKE IT MORE SPECIFIC.
Guard: SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF WORK...
AHHH!
Mari: THE PRINCESS, SHE'S HERE!
Crash!

---

Isabel: COME WITH ME.
Tiffani: Breathe
Clench
Beat
Beat
Tiffani: ONE LAST TIME.
GOODBYE
MOTHER.
FATHER.
I'M SO SORRY.

---

Brekham: AND EVEN MORE TRAGIC WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND HIS DEATH, WHICH WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, BUT WHICH LEFT THE QUEEN DEAD ALONGSIDE HIM AND THEIR OTHER DAUGHTER, TIFFANI, AS A FUGITIVE.
Isabel: SIMON, IS THAT YOU?
Simon: ISABEL?
Isabel: SIMON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Simon: I'VE COME TO PAY MY RESPECTS TO THE KING. AND SEE YOU.
Isabel: WHO ARE YOU TODAY?
Simon: JUST ME. SECURITY IS VERY LAX AROUND HERE. CAN WE TALK OUTSIDE?
Isabel: YES, I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

---

Brekham: WE HAVE NEVER HAD A KING LIKE JORJ BLADE.
Brekham: HE TOOK THE MANTLE OF KING WHILE BUT A YOUTH, BUT EVEN SO WAS ABLE TO SAVE THE KINGDOM FROM THE THREAT OF PIRATES.
HE BROUGHT LIGHT TO THE KINGDOM BY INVESTING IN THE GREMLIN CRYSTAL MINES.
HE MADE ALLIANCES WITH THE MAGI OF MAGEDA AND GAVE US PEACE.
UNFORTUNATELY HE WAS PRECEDED BY HIS LOVELY DAUGHTER ALAYNA.

---

Tiffani: ALAYNA WAS ALWAYS SO PERFECT. BEAUTIFUL, SKINNY, CHARISMATIC, LOVED, SHE WAS THE PRIDE OF MY FATHER, WITH HIS SAME BLONDE HAIR.
BUT SHE HAD MOM'S BROWN EYES, WHILE I HAD DAD'S BLUE ONES.
SO I TOOK EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO HIGHLIGHT THAT. TO REMIND HIM THAT I WAS HIS, TOO. I WORE BLUE TO CONTRAST THE REDS AND PINKS SHE ALWAYS WORE.
Simon: DID YOU HATE HER?
Tiffani: NO. SHE WAS A GREAT SISTER.
BUT I WAS JEALOUS. AND NOW I JUST MISS HER.
BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHERE'D YOUR BANDANA COME FROM? WHY S IT IMPORTANT TO YOU?
Simon: LET'S GET GOING.
Tiffani: HEY, YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION! I ANSWERED YOURS, YOU OWE ME AN ANSWER! WAIT!

---

Simon: SO DO THEY KNOW WHERE WE ARE?
Tiffani: NO, THE BLINKING LIGHTS ALERT THE WHOLE CASTLE.
YOU'D THINK A THIEF WOULD KNOW THAT.
Simon: I'M NEW TO THE WHOLE MAGIC THING.
Tiffani: FINALLY! BACK IN MY ROOM. HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL CHECK HERE FIRST. WE SHOULD HAVE SOME TIME TO SPARE.
DUST YOURSELF OFF.
YOU MIGHT FIT IN WITH THE OTHER MOURNERS.

---

Tiffani: THERE'S MY ROOM. OH, HOW GREAT IT FEELS TO BE BACK, EVEN IF TEMPORARILY. I MISS BEING A PRINCESS.
THERE'S THE GUARD, WALKING AWAY. WE HAVE A FEW MINUTES.
Tiffani: HURRY UP! WE'RE GOING TO GET TO GET CAUGHT!
Simon: WELL, EXCUSE ME, PRINCESS, BUT IF THESE THINGS WERE EASY TO PICK, EVERYONE WOULD DO IT. PLUS, IT'S NOT MY FORTE AS A THIEF.
Tiffani: NOW YOU TELL ME! WHAT KIND OF THIEF ARE YOU?
Simon: THIS KIND.
Whump!!
Tiffani: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
Simon: WHAT, YOU'RE MAD I'M A HERETIC? GET IN AND HELP ME PUT THIS IN PLACE.
WHY'S IT DARK?
Tiffani: YOU IDIOT! YOU TRIGGERED THE MAGIC ALARM!

---

Tiffani: (THEY POSTED A GUARD HERE?)
Simon: (THEY MUST BE WAITING FOR YOU. AND WANT TO TRAP YOU, WHICH IS WHY IT ISN'T BLOCKED OFF.)
Tiffani: (HOW DO WE GET PAST?)
Simon: (I'LL STEAL HIS LIGHT.)
Tiffani: (NOT ALL AT ONCE! OR HE'LL SUSPECT YOU.)
Simon: (I'LL TRY.)
Guard: IT'S OUT ALREADY?
DO I REALLY NEED TO GET ANOTHER?
