Elise sat perfectly prim and proper in her assigned seat, a small smile on her face as she carried on the conversation with those around her. She had never much liked weddings, not her own nor others. They were droll and boring things, though in Vel Anir at least the ceremonies varied enough to...

”Ha!” Elise said, the drink bringing out the giddiness within her tone. ”Neither have I.” The Baroness of Viret leaned back into the plush couch within her carriage, her hand gently stroking across the soft velvet as though it were the most sensational thing in the world. ”I may be-” A hiccup...

Loud applause and whistles echoed out loud enough to nearly drown out Lynus’ words. The peasant’s around them practically transfixed with the performance they had just witnessed. ”I'm glad to see you haven't lost your step, my Prince.” Elise offered with just a dash of sarcasm as she let...

The call of her name was nearly lost among the crowd. Lynus’ voice so distant compared to the din of music that one might have thought they were a room apart. There would be no more snide remarks, no more teasing unless he truly shouted. But that wasn't why he had dragged him up here, no, the...

"Yes, much the same charm as piglets rolling around in shit." Elise said, though even she had to admit there was something about the commons that was appealing. It was not their rowdy nature, nor the entertainment they offered, but rather the anonymity she found here. Here, Elise was no one...

Elise's eyes grew wide, and she stared at Lynus like a cat who had just witnessed it's bowl of food getting knocked over. "May want to close that mouth, miss." The Barman said as he deposited yet another set of drinks in front of the two Noble Anirians. Having apparently already spied the coins...

Rage. Pure unfiltered rage drew through every fiber of her being as the man spoke. Her entire body fuming with the power of the Well of her Ancestors as she nearly turned the man speaking into an amalgamation of flesh and pain. "Yes." She hissed quietly, even through her drunken haze. "I think...

Whatever concoction the bar-tender had put in front of her, Elise was quickly starting to realize it might have been a mistake. It seemed that the man had mistaken the word 'sanitary', for the sentence; 'most alcoholic thing you have available'. Already she could feel her head swimming, the...

Elise took up the tankard of ale, bringing it up to her lips in sign of equal to her companion before she actually sniffed what was within the cup. Her lips curled almost instantly in disgust, the stench overpowering enough that she nearly wretched the contents of her stomach onto the floor...

She wasn't sure or not if the arm was a sarcastic one. Almost offered in jest, only to be pulled away at the last moment so Elise would trip in her step. After a moment however, she took a breath, foul as it was. Her arm hooking into his as they traipsed forward through the tavern. Their steps...

As it turned out, to enjoy the Half Blind Alesman one needed to be fully blind and be bereft of a sense of smell. The tavern Lynus' had chosen stank of stale beer combined with cigarette and cigar smoke. The smell so powerful that one might have guessed it was now permanently stuck to the...

Elise stared down at Lynus with a quiet fury in her eyes. "I would not push it, Dearest Prince." She said, shifting her leg forward ever so slightly to reveal her boots. "I may have foregone the heels for this evening, but as you'll recall I have quite the kick." A lady of her standards could...

”You used to enjoy a surprise.” Elise chided quietly with a click or her tongue, shaking her head and letting a small smile touch upon her lips. A long sigh escaped her as she saw the skepticism so obviously painted on his face. The suspicion inherent within made her stomach turn, though she...

Elise did not press, though Lynus would miss the grin that drew across her lips as he closed his eyes. "Too long, then." She muttered to herself quietly, though did not push him any more. He wasn't ready for that yet. With Lynus falling asleep, Elise busied herself on the journey with a...

The first leg of their journey was blissfully quiet. Though it was sure that rumors would quickly swirl all over high society about the recluse Prince being pried from his cave, it mattered not. Within a short time the carriage had left the city, and with it the contention of rumor and gossip...
