Forbidden Flower

Jill let me introduce this one, being as how I’m the star and all. Oh and Kenzo too, of course. Kenzo and I had a great time cosplaying last fall when we spent some time together in Oregon. We got to do the pirate schtick first, then we tried this little love story.
In this little cosplay production, Kenzo and I play clandestine lov…..I mean two young people in love who have to sneak around after dark to……what?
Oh never mind – here’s the story; it’s short but sweet…
She: Will you then speak with my father?
He: He has refused me an audience. I believe he must know what I mean to ask.
She: Will we never be together without fear of discovery?
He: I go in service to him. To fight for him. In doing so I may eventually win more than his regard. Until such time…
He: …You are my forbidden flower.
She: You are honorable and brave, and will prevail. But should my father’s will remain unbent….
She: ….I will find a way…. to come to you. To be with you. I will no longer grace his garden but yours.
He: My garden is not fit to hold such a rare and precious bloom. Its soil is poor and its keeper more so.
She: Yet the tender care of its keeper will allow her to flourish.
She: I will be your flower…. or no one’s.
