'''Elka:''' Haha, you really ''believe'' that? ... I got the story straight from the hound's snout: after Captain Toma saved Her Majesty's cousin from the bandits, he was called to the ''palace'' so everyone could tell him how ''awesome'' he is. Well, ''Lady Emne Toma'' was there, saw the Captain looking fiiiine in his dressy clothes--and decided she had to ''have'' him. She was the royal. He was farmboy. So Emne ''got'' what Emne ''wanted''. Ain't love ''grand''.
