LU 147 - Space 30

I was catching up on paperwork after getting home from Vice's, and this plant guy came in. We exchanged introductions and he asked if I was willing to hire him into a mechanic business. I was happy to oblige, but I quickly realized that we had no shops like that in Spawn. So, I pitched the idea of this guy forming his own independent business. He seemed to like the idea, so I hired him and welcomed him into the empire.
We exchanged names, his is Stanley, and he went off to start up his new job. I decided to get some air, and ran into Mira. We started to chat and I brought up the topic of Shroom. I explained how Vice told me and complimented Mira on a job well done. Then, I pitched the idea of joining my police force since she's got some skill to her name; she froze up, and balled up her fists.
I could tell I said something wrong, so I asked what I said to set her off. Turns out she's got a gripe with kingdoms, so I asked a bit more about it. After reassuring her she can talk to me about shit like this, she opened up about how she used to be a princess in a kingdom, and how her parents kept her inside 24/7; she also mentioned how one of her birthdays were especially traumatic, which I chose not to pry into. I explained how my kingdom isn't like that, and it will never be like that. She also brought up her fear of how my potential kids would be raised her, and I explained how Boulty wasn't treated that way; which opened up the whole he-got-kidnapped can of worms, which Mira showed her condolences for.
The Koratai thing was also brought back up, and I explained how depsite our 20 years of being together, as far as I'm concerned she's not apart of my new empire. This whole talk seemed to ease Mira's traume regarding her past, and she thanked me for the chat; I said that I was always open for a chat like this, and that it's no worry at all. She went back home and I resumed my work in my office.
