I can definitely do friendly outreach stuff. Felt like that was half of the stuff I had to do as queen when all I wanted to do was focus on the planning and strategy.

You were a queen, interesting. You are already less difficult than the royalty I knew.

I took the throne a long time before I thought I would have to. I guess that gives me a different perspective.

I assume you had to inherit the way most leaders do. Should I say my condolences?

I appreciate the kindness. Thank you.

It hasn't been really easy, but I've done my best.

[No one has ever called her kind in her entire life and it's a little startling.]

Is there something one can say to make such loss easier?

[ It must be a strange question. ]

I had no parents. I know someone who lost her mother recently. I do not know what is helpful to say.

No, I don't think there's anything anyone can really say make it easier. Having people who care around you helps, though. They help you carry the grief. I appreciate your thoughts, though.

[ There's a certain politeness and diplomacy to what she writes, but it's genuine. ]

I appreciate your advice. I was taught not to have emotions. It is difficult to try and help others when they are expressing theirs.

It can be hard, honestly. You're not alone in that.

[ She's not sure how to approach the 'I was taught not to have emotions' thing so she'll just... sidestep it a little. ]
