Thank you for my new title Fairy Princess Kitty. I have always wanted to be an Empress of something! I thought I was going to have to marry into a title, but eligible Emperors are few and far between.

I hope that you slept well.

I’ll be your huckleberry…  
(translation: At a time convenient to your highness, your opinions on my worthiness for a title would be most welcome)

p.s. I don’t think Zenster should be knighted for dropping you in this, tho the kneeling followed by application of sword or substitute may be a good start…

Second, can I have a title? Please?

Thank you for the title, and sorry for the delay in thanking you…I know a watched thread never posts, but leaving it that long was ridiculous! Anyway, {FPK}!

Dearest leige, it has come to my mind, insomuch as I am not known, mayhaps I may give unto you a missive, that I might partake of a title deserving of armorial award.

In truth, dear lady, I wouldst that thou were not overwork’d as thou art, but I feel the muses must have thee to do thy bidding, as vicous Mars must have me for his own doings.

I am a scholar of all things, but in truth the times of the ancients do bespell me beyond all measure.

I do gracious combat, on the field of chivalry, both in the ways of the Knights of old, and in the mystic ways of the East.

I am that most wonderous of creatures, a father of two wee babes. I am a husband to a fair lady of virtue… although in truth we are hedonists, and are free to follow the paths of loving elsewhere, as long as the gifts of aphrodite part us not.

And that is myself, laid bare for you to see… I now await my nightlong vigil, that in time I may be awarded title that you deem fit and seemly, Highness.

</div>

Oooh, ooh, can I have one, please, Kitty?

And can we please not make mention of jello or any form of dessert toppings in it? 😉

And, to add a minor hijack to answer some questions you asked…yeah, I’ve read all of Eddings’s stuff, except for the new book.

I’m a _knight_ ?! Okay, I love it, I really do. I’m actually glad I’m not a Princess or anything. (I wouldn’t make a good Princess.) But couldn’t I be a Guardian or something? I just feel weird being Sir Silver Fire, knight of anything. (I really do like it though.)

Just for you, **Spider Woman** ,

_kneeling to Fairy Princess Kitty, humbly requesting a title_

Salutations, Fairy Princess Kitty, I crave the boon of a moment of your attention. After reading through the threads for the previous several days, I’ve decided where to place my first post. Of course, I’d like a title (gimme, gimme)  
Ooops, calm down Dexter (my evil twin). After all, can the inestimable (Love that word) FPK grant a title on poor little me (us!) with no proof that I am (we are) worthy? I’d think a certain amount of acquaintance should be necessary (snigger). Down Dexter! Bad boy.
