Chapter 41: Chapter 41

"Monarch?" I looked from the sign above the club entrance to Tiernan as Abby and Torquil got out of the limo behind us.

"Where else would a princess party?" Abby asked. "Well done, Mr. Ti—"

"Do not." Tiernan held up a finger to her.

"Tiernan," she smiled sweetly as she finished the name. "I was going to say, Tiernan."

"Uh-huh." Tiernan grimaced.

"What does XXX DVD mean?" Torquil was staring across the street at a large sign which announced the availability of DVDs and an arcade."

"I rest my case." Abby shook her head. "He's a prude."

"Princess?" Torquil looked to me for help.

"DVDs are plastic discs which are used to store information. Those, in particular, have movies on them; moving images used to entertain," I tried to explain. "Like little pictures of real life; moving pictures... movies."

"Yeah, except XXX means the movies are pornographic," Abby added and then chuckled.

"Pornographic?" Torquil still looked confused.
