“So when do ye think we should ‘nounce our engagement?”
“The more you keep asking, the further back I set the date.”

“It can wait until I’m properly moved in, at least.”
“…Speakin’ a’ which, arne there certain…things ye wanna maybe…keep safe?”
“The Fun Box?”
“The Fun Box.”
“Trust me, all that stuff is safe. And coming with me. Just in case.”
“Good tuh know.”
“…Jesus Christ, that was too much information and you barely implied anything.”
“Oh come on, Runt. It isne all that bad! Most of it is just…pictures.”
“Tastefully taken.”
“Very well made.”
“Perfectly modeled as well.”
“Oh aye, they certainly were.”
“If you two are going to be like this all the time now, I definitely will move out.”
“…What?”
“Um, no, I don’t mean leave the house…castle. I just mean like…you know what? Forget I said anything.”
“No, it’s okay. Say what you need to, Bridget.”
“I wasn’t sure if…or when…I should ask this but…how uh, how out there would it be if um…if I did want to move out? Like…have my own room?”
“…Huh.”
“I’m not asking for, like, my own damn master bedroom or anything! I’d be cool with a refurbished broom closet! Hell, just…I don’t know, making a soundproof room in that cabinet underneath the window seat would be good too!”
“Why soundproof?”
“Um…well…if you guys are going to be living together…in the same room…”
“Right.”
“You know.”

“Gossip?”
“Casserole recipes?”
“SEX SEX YOU GUYS HAVING SEX GODDAMNIT!”
“Ha! I win.”
“This time. I’ll get ye next.”
“…I changed my mind, I’m moving out completely.”
“Heh. It’s alright. It’s a good idea fer a good reason. But I doona think ye’ll do with a broom closet. What if we wanna come in fer a visit? It’d be squished with more’an one Tergaian-sized person there.”
“Hmm. I suppose I can get a folding chair in there for you. Maybe.”
“Oh, all that an’ more. Yer prob’ly gonna need ‘nuff room fer the proper office furniture.”
“Office…what?”
“Office furniture. Desk, chairs, pencil holders. Maybe one of those clanking ball things.”
“And a plant! Every office needs a plant. It’ll help bring the room together.”
“W-why…why would I-?”
“Well, besides a proper bedroom, I’m sure the King’s Royal Advisor on Human Affairs needs a proper office tuh.”
“The…the Royal…what…?”
“I wanted tuh tell ye sooner but after the coronation an’ the massive press storm well…it kinda got ‘way from me.”
“Bridget? Are you alright?”
“I…I can’t…I don’t…”
“Doona what?”
“I DON’T KNOW POLITICS! Let alone this place’s politics!”
“All the better! Ye woona be tainted by ‘pinions ‘sides yer own.”
“I have exactly dick experience in public affairs.”
“So did I, once.”
“Or in running an office.”
“Nor I, once.”
“What if I fuck up royally?”
“Heh. I’ve that fear now tuh, ye know.”
“Oh goddamn the pun. What makes you think I want to do this?”
“‘Cuz I like tuh think I know ye well ‘nuff by now.”
“What makes you think I CAN do this?”
“‘Cuz there’s no one I trust more tuh give me the truth ‘bout the Human condition or what needs tuh be done. Yer…yer experiencin’ alla it first-hand. I doubt anyone else would give it tuh me straight when I needed it.”
“…”
“…”
“Sigh. I have to warn you, my résumé is pretty anemic and you probably won’t be able to contact any of my references.”
“Good thing ye made a great first impression on this interview then.”
“Right. Okay. So…um…when do I start?”
“Unofficially, ye already have as far as I’m concerned. Officially, though? Not any time soon, I’m ‘fraid.”
“Why the Hells not?”
“‘There’s still a lot I need tuh set up an’ get under way, Annie. Infrastructure, economy, integratin’ currency, Hells just getting’ basic rights ‘proved…there’s no viable way tuh put Bridget on payroll without it bein’ seen as some sorta vanity stunt or ‘tempt at embezzlin’.”
“…I’d get paid?”
“Aye, a’ course! Job’s a job, right?”
“Well, it sounds a step up from Court Jester at least.”
“The more you keep asking, the further back I set the date.”

NOT TIRED OF DIALOGUE YET GOOD BECAUSE HERE'S SOME MORE BUT HEY AT LEAST IT'S SHORTER THIS TIME
And for returning FFH readers, you might notice a pattern here. The Epilogues have the same titles and the same premise of being nothing but dialogue.
Does the implication of the Fun Box mean there are pictures of Annie or Colm or both in varying stages of undress?
Yes.
Yes it does.
Don't ask them about the tea cup shoot that's a whole thing in and of itself I tell ya what
And, sadly, this hints at only a few reasons why Human rights won't be offered and accepted the next day. There are new systems to establish and perfect before they can live and survive as Fathish citizens. But it will come, eventually.
I mean, that's what FFH: AME is for! 8D
(feel free to guess what AME stands for in the mean time)

I have not actively read a book since my freshman year and while not sleeping for two days is probably not healthy, I am happy I did. Both of these stories are beautiful and I'm so happy I got the chance to read them. I won't deny it, I fell in love with your characters. They made laugh (maybe a bit to loudly), they made me cry (and broke my heart a bit), and they made think quite a bit.
And now you're probably thinking I'm some sappy person and who know maybe I am? Or it may possibly be sleep deprivation. Anyways these were damn good books and if you write a side story or a third book let me know I'd be happy to support it and you!
