Thrice-Told Tale #3

Justin Greystone

by Rus Hall

Prince Justin Greystone entered the Wild Rose Tavern with one thought on his mind - a pretty woman for the evening. He scanned the crowd and saw a few likely suspects, and a few he should avoid. Finally, his eyes came to rest on a beautiful blonde maiden sitting at the bar.

"Surely this is Ms. Right," he thought, "Or at least, Ms. Right-Now." He suppressed a laugh at his own joke.

Suavely (as if he does anything un-suavely), he made his way through the room to the stool next to the woman. He then proceeded to engage the lass in some idle conversation all the while looking at the odd device on his wrist.

The device looked something like a cross between a sundial and a miniature hourglass with a pair of fireflies slowly circling it.

"What is that strange item on your wrist?" intoned Isabelle (as Justin learned her name).

"Well, darling, this here device is a chronograph. It was given to me by the wizard Traquill himself." drawled Justin.

"Pray tell, what does it do?" she purred.

"Mainly it tells the time of day or night. But, it is also telepathic. It tells me interesting things" he replied.

"What is it telling you now?"

Holding the item to his ear Justin said with a twinkle in his eye, "It says, darling, that you are not wearing any panties."

"<giggle> Oh sir, that is incorrect, for I am indeed wearing underclothing <giggle>."

Justin looked quizzically at the chronograph then says to her, "Hmmm, it must be running an hour or so fast."
