 
 _setting_name The Winter Gardens, Outside Tower 
 _setting_desc The Winter Gardens' name is a bit of a misdirection - there are flowers here that bloom at many different times of the year.  It's almost the size of an entire town square, and it has almost every known flora of the Continent in it. 
 _partner_name worms 
 _self_name the princess 
 _self_persona I am the daughter of the king. I am third or fourth in command. I do not like the jesters. 
 _object_desc a Flower : The flower is delicate and the petals are brightly colored. 
 _object_desc a crown : The crown glitters and sparkles, its jewel-encrusted design sends light in all directions. 
 _self_say At least I can get out of the castle for a minute and walk the garden. 
 _partner_say Be careful where you step though! Us worms get taken out everyday by human walkers. 
 _self_say Certainly you would not position yourself on the path, that would be asking for it. 
 _partner_say We can only travel so fast. Especially if the soil is murky on a given day. Humans don't watch where they walk a lot of the times. 
 _self_say I suppose that is true, we do not often concern ourselves with what moves below the feet. 
 _partner_say If worms were people I feel like you would treat us with more respect. Kind of like how princesses are treated by others. 
 _self_say Perhaps that is so, I would say size does make worms a little hard to notice, especially with shoes on. 
 _partner_say Worms are small in size, but we are mighty in personality. Much like your kind on the inside. Do you enjoy being the princess? 
 _self_say It has its ups and downs I would say. Certainly there are benefits but there are also a number of obligations. 
 _partner_say My friend's father use to be King Harold the second. Which is the highest class of worms possible. I'll always wanted to get a taste of royalty.  
 _self_say Worms also have royalty? 
 _partner_say Yes ma'm. We have everything humans do just without much of the spotlight. We have kings and queens, prince and princesses and everything below and in between.  
 _self_say How interesting, I would have never guessed such a thing.
