Scene 1 ----------------------------------------------- Characters: Aree, Ula Intended: Ula comes to one of the servants' rooms, where Aree's sleeping. The boy is wanted at one at the War Room. Aree supposses it must be some drunk aristocrat or something of that sort that requires his service, but its Countess Yentenas herself who wants him at her side. Evaluation I'm judging this scene as "likely". Rolling on my "oracle", I get a "no". And then, expading the answer on what this means I get a - keep on walking - threaten the threats - fairy dreams Interpretation OK, I don't want to start the story with a dream, because that's a bit of a trope... so, let's say Ula finds Aree already at work at the Palace infirmary caring for some very sick kid, the child of a guard, perhaps. Now he has to "keep on walking", i.e. coming to assist some aristo- crat, he thinks. Aree's not pleased in that, but has little say on the matter. I'm not saying that "threaten the threats" is a display of anger, for he knows that has no use. Instead is Ula who volunteers to stay by the sick kid side. As for the "fairy dreams"... hmm... it could be that Aree "sees the world as a fantasy", to somehow keep his sanity. (See the wrter_notes.txt and character_list.txt for more on context).
