The Court of Queen Carina

[Doc Holliday]

Doc just sort of sighed and raised his eyebrows a bit, "OK. I'll try to keep all that in mind being that this is my first visit with royalty." For Doc, it was a lot to absorb and to put into use in but a minute or two. He did a final check of himself. About his head was a headpiece that met center forehead. He wore it only for official functions, a symbol of who he represented.
"You'll be fine, Boss," chuckled Alicia, "don't forget your gift." She then handed him a box, a gift for the queen, which he put in a deep pocket of his robes.
"I think you better do this yourself," said the smirking Alicia as she left his side. All that stood between him and the palace was a set of doors and Sir Markus.

"His Excellency, the honourable Ambassador for Baffin, Doctor Jonathan Holliday, MD."

"Jonathan?" he thought to himself,, "never have I been called that." He stood as the doors opened and when the great hall came into view, he stood and looked. For the first time in awhile, he was a mix of stunned and nervous.
"All this? For me?" he thought to himself, "I usually see no more than a table at a Freeport Bar. Maybe things are looking up."

Still, it was an awesome sight for him, so much so that he had no words for what he was seeing. Again, his mind was talking to him, ""The most important rule is, be yourself. Her Majesty wishes to talk to you, not some wooden caricature. I trust this advice is helpful..."
He sighed again and thought to himself, "Sure....be yourself."
He stopped a moment, took a big sigh and made a confident walk to the Queen.

For the moment, his distrust and not so great past in his dealings with the Crown were put aside. She was a very elegant woman. Unsure of where he was to stop, he stopped a few steps from where her Corgis lay.
He briefly looked at her, a bit unsure of himself.
"Your majesty," he said with an easy bow from his shoulders. Once back upright, he continued, "Doctor John Henry Holliday at your service."

He stood silently, awaiting her response.
