...Alright. I know you're only looking out for my best interests, and I cannot deny I've been feeling a smidge tired lately. I'll utilize Peaches' break as well, so the two of us can play together.
[ he has indeed reached an understanding. ace may be a smartass, but he's a good boy deep down. riddle's quite proud of him, so rather than doubling down, he's willing to concede and compromise.
...'compromise' being the keyword. ]
Not so fast. Before I can decide if you truly are relieved of hedgehog duty for the week, I have an assignment for you.
I will enchant an item, perhaps a flower or piece of jewelry, so that it can record your interactions with Peaches. Do hedgehog duty one time while wearing it, so I can see her behavior for myself. If it turns out she is, indeed, a pain in the bottom, you will be off punishment and as a token of apology, I will give you a Queen's Special Rule Freebie Coupon.
[ ugh. he was so close to dodging having any additional responsibilities... ]
okay what about this? we both play with peaches together. you leave the room at some point and if she acts up while i wear the enchanted thing and you see it, then you can catch her right away.
and if i'm lying, you can punish me in front of her.
[ a coupon would be a nice treat, but ace is angling for a bigger thing than just one freebie. no. he's seeing a grander prize. ]
