Tamasi’s life would be ever so much simpler if she could just tell the prince “Buzz off, fish-boy; I’d rather marry a remora!”

But of course it’s not that simple. She just got a letter from him that sent her straight into what my Psych 101 book called double approach-avoidance conflict. Given that when she first heard about this she wanted it to All Go Away, that’s pretty good progress for a single letter, from his point of view.
