Summary: Court jesters aren't always jesting.

The trickster laughed heartily, and all the room laughed with him because his laugh was infectious. It was a jolly sound that echoed through the throne room, bounced off the walls, and dared anyone to keep a smile from their face.

He'd just threatened one of the nobles brilliantly, and with the flash of a daring smile that had been more of a baring of teeth. No one insulted the woman he loved! The court thought he was joking, though. So they all laughed. It had it's problems, being the court jester.

No one knew when to take him seriously.
