Know My Place

I can't help that I constantly feel like I'm wrangling for a feminine role in Takoda's mind.
Sensitive-as-usual I had to push it when Kody comes up to me out of nowhere kissing me all up.  "My prince" I mutter without thinking too much about it. 
   "I'm not your prince" he says.
   Hurt, sensitive, defensive even, I attempt reconciliation explaining that he can be both my prince and Ema's prince if he wants to be, and that only a king or queen must be... I don't know - monogamous.   To this he holds his ground blurting "You're my Jester."
   (This is actually pretty insightful, so I accept it and attempt to move on despite being stripped of any femininity when Kody hurls the most ironic insight of the evening over his shoulder at me while walking away:

   "Ema's the Prince."
