"What?" he asked, confused, then shook his head. "Of course we can choose. This is not... we are not from Terrelle. It is, usually, something that both sides need to agree to, the Queen has to want us to serve and we have to want to serve. To most it seems that the Queen chooses her court, but the truth is, really, we choose her. We offer ourselves, or do not offer ourselves, and from those who offer, she chooses."

He sipped his wine, made a face that it had gone cold, and finished it in one gulp because he had to, then vanished the goblet to be washed later.

"Protocol however, does allow for situations where a Queen has no one at all to protect her. She may request aid of a male on a short term basis who would not serve otherwise, but might agree to serve in this regard, and a male can protect her, if she has no one else to protect her, even if she did not ask him to serve. I have the right to protect her, to serve her."
