For Ky, the good news would be that Sol seemed more willing to talk about this than the topics she usually tried to discuss. The bad news, of course, was that her replies were just as frustratingly vague as always. "Sometimes. Sometimes not." Even if it wasn't the most helpful answer, though, it was an accurate summation of the situation. "When she's not screwing things up, she's pretty half-assed about it." Sure, as aggravating as being trapped under enchanted mistletoe with a stranger was, it was far from the best way to encourage anything more than a one time kiss.

If Sol realized how hypocritical it was for her to accuse someone else of being half-assed about anything, she didn't show it. Romance was supposed to be a big deal to the Queen, right? She at least exerted some effort when it came to the things that mattered.
