With that the guests got up and began to part, while the puppets cleared and took down the table. Anna made sure to say farewell to her welcoming hosts. Hey , thanks Anna, I know you didn't want formal but I'm glad you accepted said Larry hugging his daughter. Thank you it was an honor hosting you Lady Anna Said teddy escorting his own lady out of the room. Dexter smiled quickly at her then scurried into the trees. Ahk, said, I can catch up to you in a bit and headed out of the room. Anna felt a tug at her dress and looked down to find the roman general tugging at her skirt. Lady Anna, it appears as though jed had left without me can you help me he asked. Sure she said bending for sat cross-legged in her palm but then adjusted his helmet to better look at her. Lady, Anna had you called upon Aphrodite to ready for us or does she naturally favor you? She was stunned he said such. I don't know what to to say, but you do realize that in our era when we fancy someone we say we have a crush on them she said. It seems pretty clear you favor me so said Anna. No Lady Anna I did not know, All I can say if only I wasn't a miniature and please I had no devious ideas he said. I trust you can respect a lady that much. Said Anna. Lady Anna, I do I admit to that kind of favor, I admit because we may never cross in such a way where I could court you said Octavius with sorrow in his voice. I thank you very much for your candidness and honestly I have the same trouble. Anna set octy on a ledge she herself knelt across from him so she could to talk to him. He looked at her with confusion. We real world people face the same dilemma where we must watch those we fancy so from afar thinking they are out of our reach it can be hurtful to watch, and I'm no stranger to that she said with a smile. So know you're not alone said Anna. Forgive me Lady, but how old are you he asked,.19 she says, I'm surprised you weren't married at said shocked further. Well our nation does not exactly favor that anymore said Anna. I see but at least you should be courted, I'm surprised the suitors don't approach from left and right said the general!. My main point is that we in the real world have the same issue you are not alone said Anna. We must go now; ahk has something to tell me said Anna. She put out her hand and Octavius climbed on a sat cross legged. She carried him to his scene and placed him on the rotunda. Goodnight lady Anna, and thank you said octy. Night and it's a pleasure she said with a bow of her head. Ahk then entered the hall. Ahh yes there you are he said with delight. Yes said Anna in acknowledgement. Lady Anna, walk with me said ahk and they continued out of the hall of miniatures. I do agree with you when you say one of the most important parts of leadership is to know who you are leading. But I think above all you should know how to resolve conflict. It seems as though its been a work in progress even in your era so to speak.. Said ahk. No doubt agreed Anna. You should resolve conflict in such a way where you instill grace yet discipline. I see you as being firm when you need to be yet gentle to all those you meet and to earn the crown those traits are very desirable The sun will rise soon though. I have more to say to you later Lady Anna. It truly is a pleasure to see your desire to be with us said ahk. I myself am grateful so you know he said. I thank you for giving me an opportunity said Anna. In that case I'll see you tomorrow lady Anna good day he said. From there they parted ways and she left to don her ordinary attire
