I'm actually really getting into Lissa right now, I feel like when I write these I feel more sympathetic towards her instead of indifferent and I just love Rose. Can anyone tell me if they would like an action drabble because I've been trying and want to know if I should continue.


A good queen is always punctual. However if aforementioned queen has Rosemarie Hathaway as her guardian most got used to their Queen being constantly late. For Rose always had a multitude of reasons Lissa could not leave on time. Funny videos found on Youtube, a new fighting technique she wanted to try on Christian where Lissa had to wait lest one of them get hurt which was her excuse. However she was really only worried about Christian for as Rose said 'badass Hathaway would never be beaten by Fire Crotch.' Rose insisting that a dress one of Lissa's advisor had picked out for her was too ugly to be seen out in and that Rose had to rush back to her apartment to get Lissa something to wear. The times when Lissa just had to try some delicious new cake or donut Rose had found. Then there were the times when Rose was late just because she had been "caught up" in her apartment and entered with her hair wild, and uniform slightly rumpled and on one occurrence with a small bruise on the side of her neck. Lissa tried again and again to get Rose to come on time but she couldn't manage it, and if Lissa couldn't stop Rose, Hans was just wasting his time. So then finally they enlisted Dimitri. Dimitri tried waking Rose gently early in the morning, helping her dress, delivering her breakfast donuts and shepherding her out the door 15 minutes before her shift started. This worked for a while, that was until Rose caught on. So Rose took her extra time to get more food and arrived at Lissa's precisely 10 minutes late and then got onto the task of distracting Lissa. But though Lissa argued and grumbled and complained, she knew really that she could leave without Rose but chose not to. For the normalcy of Rose's tardiness was one of her greatest reminders that she was still the same person as the young teenager at the academy who had lived her life by a strict code and that included never leaving her friends behind, and Lissa craved such reminders of her old life so she could maintain her grip on this new one. So Lissa didn't mind and just started scheduling her appointments 15 minutes later then the appointment list that was given to Rose and everyone was happy.
