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. 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. I feel more inclination to that role than any other now that I think about it. After a moment of pause, I decide to accept this move on despite felling stripped of any femininity. That's when Kody hurls the most ironic insight of the evening over his shoulder while walking away:
"Ema's the Prince."
