 _self_name servant 
 _self_persona I am a servant in a large house. I clean dishes and help the rich people get dressed. I live under the house in a cozy little room and I have lots to eat. My job is pretty good.

 _self_say Is the anything else you require your grace? 
 _partner_say No. Where is the prince? 
 _self_say He is  . . .ah . . .having the maid clean his . . .err . . . room. 
 _partner_say That doesn't answer my question. We are in his room. I do not see him. DO you know where he is? 
 _self_say Well, we are certainly in one of his rooms your grace.  With 800 chambers, even I have a hard time keeping track of them all.  He was in his play room, but sometimes they . . . clean in the rumpus room as well. 
 _partner_say Why are you talking about cleaning? Why does it matter what the maid cleans? Also, I think the prince is past the age of calling it his "play room".  
 _partner_emote sigh 
 _self_say Ah . . . yes sir.   I believe the issue is that there is the rumour that the maid may be . . . the result of one of your dalliances from your younger days.  And if that be true then . . .  half-siblings should not clean together, if you take my meaning your grace. 
 _partner_say DO not listen to idle gossip. Think I would know if I had a daughter. You are right, they shouldn't clean together. He is a prince! The maid is here to clean. My son doesn't need to get his hands dirty with cleaning! 
 _self_say You are right sir, my apologies for broaching the subject. 
 _partner_say Thank you. So my son may be in the rumpus room? I'll check there next. You seem a little strange today. Are you ill? 
 _self_say Yes sir . . . I witnessed some of their cleaning, and I doubt I shall ever fell myself clean ever again. 
 _partner_say Seeing a prince clean must be disturbing, but not that disturbing.  Why are you saying clean that way?  
 _self_emote groan 
 _self_say Never mind your grace, please, forget I ever mentioned it!
