She decided to take his word for it. She wasn't going to be there in an official capacity and that's all she knew about elvish hospitality. Even though Mardania has acted benevolently towards Fal'Addas, they also haven't risked their precarious relationship with Vel Anir by taking a side one way...

She scoffs a little, "I'm heartless, not ignorant to my own bodily needs." She took the food off the fire once it seemed close to the color he got it to and took a bite to punctuate her point. She took in a sharp breath and immediately started blowing to cool the hot food in her mouth, she...

She shrugged as she sat down again and he prepared some food. ""Desire" might be a strong word for it. I treat it as my duty to myself, since I am what is left I am the only one who can do anything, so I should do something. A purpose keeps me from falling into antipathy, or giving in to the...

(Sorry for the delay. Work has kept me busy and tired. I should have more time over the next few weeks.) She looked up at the sunrise herself, but without the appreciation he seemed to have, to her it was simply the sun coming over the horizon that was SUPPOSED to be beautiful. "I did make a...

(Sorry for the delay. Work has kept me busy and tired. I should have more time over the next few weeks.) She listened to his heartfelt speech with a cold regard. Her wrath mounting as he tried to bare his soul to probably the one person in Mardus who couldn't appreciate it even if she wanted...

Only so much she was taught? Perhaps by her mother, but teaching a princess her duties and etiquette was hardly the exclusive job of a queen. Many hands took up her education after that fateful night, and those hands were certainly full attempting to make her seem and act human, moreso than any...

By the time she decided to give up she had gotten no nearer to the center of the maze, she might as well have remained at the entrance for all the progress she made through the twisting paths of ice. As Cassidy watched the orb would slowly fade and Helia's hands would drift to her lap. She...

Helia had taken a seat in a plush chair a few feet from the fireplace. The fire was crackling and gave off an appreciable warmth, not that she was one to notice. She sipped her tea as Llewen came to join her and nodded to his silent request to sit. The servant poured him a cup of tea. She...

"We shall see, Lord Merrick." She sipped up the last of her soup. Her father quietly and slowly still ate his, apparently absorbed in his own thoughts. Helia stood, a servant coming to pull her chair out for her. "I shall take my tea by the fire. Join me if you wish, Lord Merrick. My curiosity...

"A solid plan, sir. It is good that you surround yourself with people you trust. But also keep in mind that you are a knight and a Mardanian, you may have to aquire the skills to use your title in order to enlist the aid of those you cannot trust to receive the backing of your country. An Ally...

The King gave him a nod as he ate his stew, "It's an ambitious task, Lord Merrick. But if you have the drive then nothing is impossible." The king then gave the stage to his daughter. He clearly hasn't been brought up to date on recent events. Helia blew on another spoonful before responding...

She nodded thoughtfully, "I see, I had guessed as much. Your sword is fairly powerful." Slight praise, he had performed skillfully even though he was wounded in the process, that earned some form of reward. "What sort of bloodline do you descend from?" She raised an eyebrow incredulously, "Your...

The king seemed immediately contrite, "Ah, My apologies, young lord Merrick." The king wisely left it at that, refraining from explaining that five years ago he lost his wife, son, and technically his daughter in similar fashion, and the subsequent war prevented news of the death of a minor...
