“Wanderlust is a weird word”
“How so?”
“It just is. Like I wanna walk around a lot and the word makes it sound like I’m horny for it”
“You realize list isn’t just being horny right?”
“Wait really?”
“Yeah. Lust is just a strong yearning for something”
“Kinda like a craving?”
“Yeah pretty much. Did you really not know that?”
“Nope. I was kinda to busy doing royal junk to really LEARN stuff you know”
“That’s dumb. If anybody should be educated it should be the future queen, or I guess just queen now. How you liking that by the way?”
“How am I enjoying having twice the responsibility my dad had when he was king despite being half the age he was when he was crowned because he had his parents and royal advisors to help him but all I have is him and he’s to brain dead to help? I’m enjoying it plenty”
“Wow okay touchy subject. Hey if there’s anything I can do to help just let me know. I’m here for you”
“You already do so much tho. If not to much”
“Nothing is to much if it means you actually get to relax”
“Okay. I probably won’t take you up on that offer but thank you anyway”
“Of course. I would hope you come to me if you ever need anything but I guess I can’t for- OH! We made it to… the… edge of the forest? How long have we been walking for?”
“Well considering it’s dark out now, all day.”
“Well shit. You wanna turn around?”
“We probably should”
“Hey Poppy? Happy 15th birthday”
“Thanks Branch”
“I still think wanderlust is a weird word”
