Imagine: being Merida's friend and advisor, convincing her to participate in her duties as a princess
Birthday gift for @winterxisxcomingx 🎁💜
A/N: Happy birthday, Winter! Wszystkiego najlepszego, sto lat! 🎉✨🎊 I remember from one tag game you are celebrating your special day today, so I decided to prepare a little something for you. I picked Merida as a character for this imagine since I know we both love Brave, this way I could also write for her for the first time. Enjoy your gift and please do something nice for yourself today, or whenever you'd like to celebrate; you totally deserve it!!!
You urgently knock at Merida's chamber door. A couple of minutes pass before you manage to get any reaction from her.
'Leave me alone!' she shouts.
Another minute and she opens the door with a grumpy face.
'Can I come in?' you ask.
'You know I'm mainly your friend, and only then I'm meant to advise you,' you remind her, heading for Merida's bed and sitting next to her.
'I know, I know...' she sighs, lying down. 'Being a princess is just so boring sometimes. And my mother wants me to attend another gathering tomorrow!'
'Another gathering? Haven't you been to one yesterday?'
You let the question out in a surprised tone, hoping she won't realise you actually know that she's supposed to attend some meeting and that it was her mother that asked you to convince her to join.
Luckily enough, it doesn't seem to cross Merida's mind and she only exclaims:
'Yes! And it makes me so tired!'
'Well... how about you agree to go to that gathering, and we'll go for a ride right after?'
She sits up with a thoughtful expression on her face.
'What if my mother doesn't agree?'
'Oh, I'll help you convince her. I'm a part of her court too after all, maybe she'll take my advice and realise her daughter need some time to herself too.'
Merida's smile gets wider and wider as you speak. Once you finish, she makes a decision.
'Okay, I trust you. I'll do it.'
You agree to meet the next afternoon, right after dinner; you're supposed to wait for her in the stables, form where you'll take your horses and go for a ride.
After a little chat with your friend, you finally leave her room and head for your chamber. You're not sure if she saw through your plan, but you hope she'll be there tomorrow either way, so that you'll spend a nice afternoon together.
