...Where is it? [Did this poor lady lose her child?]

He, or I hope it's a he, is still growing within me.

Oh! [Kronk smiled brightly.] That's great! Uh... what are you going to name your son, when he's born?

[He had no idea you weren't supposed to ask that.]

[she laughs] I haven't a clue yet. I rather like the name Arthur.

[Kronk had never heard of a name like Arthur before, but he liked it.] That's a good name! If I ever have a son I'm naming him "Kronker." After...uh. After me.

My name's Kronk!

Kronker, son of Kronk. [she mulls on that] I like it! Arthur sounds like Uther's name as well!

Yeah, I thought it was clever too! [Kronk felt proud of himself now.]

It does! Except...uh. The U...and... the P. Wait, is there a P in Arthur, lady?

No, I... [wait, Ygraine might need to stop and spell it out in her mind] No, there isn't a P in Arthur.

Woah, you can read? [Kronk was in awe! No one he knew could, except for Yzma and Emperor Kuzco of course.]

I was taught letters when I was younger. Were you not taught?

No...uh. My Papi was a llama farmer, I only wear these fancy clothes and stuff because Yzma hired me! [Because that made so much sense.]

Has Yzma taught you letters?

[Kronk had to laugh at that.] Yzma? Hah, no! She can do them herself, though.

Are you her manservant, then?

Yeah...uh. Something like that, lady! [Kronk twiddled his thumbs, just a little nervous.]

[she smiles kindly] Then she is lucky. You seem like such a dedicated manservant.

[That made Kronk blush.] Oh...uh. Only doing my best! [Yeah. Oh, he was all kinds of shy now! It didn't help that this was the prettiest lady he'd ever seen, with her bright gold hair and stuff.]

And that just makes you all the more sweeter.

Y-yeah? [Kronk had no idea what they where talking about anymore, really.]

Of course! Does Yzma not tell you so?

Oh...uh. I don't think I ever really manage to please Yzma! [Kronk always tried his hardest but... it seemed impossible! Of course, he did make a lot of mistakes.]

How?
