🌿- ❝ You...? ❞ It would have been obvious to anyone. Mrs Brisby had never met real royals before, and once she met the Mouse King, she never questioned his authority. He already proved it. For no mouse she could think matched his size and strength. Even without birthright, he could easily claim one.
❝ Well, I couldn't think the more dangerous opponent to one standing against you, your Majesty... ❞ She was sincere. She, for sure, wouldn't question his power. And never she did. In fact, she had pretty much adapted to the thought he was the king of all mice, including her. Not that she had ever before known there was a king. But as laws of the nature was: the strength dominated all. Even when she possessed strength different to raw power: kindness.
❝ I have seen you out there, chasing away threats much bigger without fear! Yet, you are my King, your Majesty. I owe you my life for trusting those two rats... you are danger, whom by I could stand.❞ Her hands crossed, tilting her head.

"I'm surprised ya haven't croaked by now." He means it. He's lost a great number to all of the above. Even other mice, who weren't partial to his lot moving in, had been a little nasty. He's beginning to think there's some kind of magic shenanigan going on to make her so darn lucky.
""Rats, crows, owls. ME."

what kind of services can a skeleton offer?
a monster forms inside us, and you care to be idle?
