Summary: Beatrix teaches her young queen about leadership. For [livejournal.com profile] xerne.



"You handled that wrongly."

Garnet turned to look at Beatrix, surprised at her long time protector's flat tone. She sat down in her chair, curling up a little and looking up at Beatrix, biting her lip. "What did I do wrong? I listened to them both and I don't think I made the wrong decision -- I don't want fights breaking out in the court, after all."

"You're a queen, Garnet," Beatrix said, softly. She went to sit by Garnet's chair -- sat on the floor close to her, and didn't mind when Garnet reached down, running her fingers through her hair. "And a good one, but inexperienced. You don't need to be polite and say please all the time when you're asking questions, though I suppose it doesn't hurt. You can give commands. When they started arguing with each other, you should have ordered them to shut up instead of listening."

Garnet frowned. "It wasn't a big mistake though, was it?"

"Not if you work on not doing it again."

"Why is it such a big mistake, anyway?"

Beatrix shrugged slightly, moving closer to Garnet and smiling a little as the young queen continued to run her slim fingers through her hair. "It's not a big mistake just once, but if you let them think they can disrespect you like that, they're going to start arguing with you. As a queen, you're a leader. It's important that people understand that."

Garnet nodded. After a moment, she smiled, too, looking down at Beatrix. "What could I do without you?"

"A lot more than you think, my queen."
