A smile crossed her face, as she lifted the cover and quickly flipped through it. She was touched by the gesture, thinking, he must have put great care into finding the gift. She grew lost in her thoughts, for the moment, as Ithobal continued handing out his gifts, and as Catarina drilled her family with her usual excited questions. Only when her father spoke up did she come out of her trance, closing the book shut quickly in surprise, thinking he was about to scold her for having her head in the clouds. [color=8882be]"Of course, Father,"[/color] Myriam began. To her right stood one of the Gully's servants, a dark haired, younger looking woman, who she handed the book off to. [color=8882be]"Thank you so much for the gift, Ithobal, it's lovely. I'll be back with mother shortly."[/color] With that, Myriam picked up her skirt, turned from the group, and made her way back towards the entrance, in search of her mother. Myriam's shoes clicked against the stone pavement as she went, the courtyard having been emptied of most people by now. The quiet put her at ease; she was, after all, often most happy when she was alone. She entertained the thought of taking her sweet time in rejoining her family. Yet she shrugged the notion off, thinking it'd do her more harm than good to show up late to the feast. At last, she caught sight of Amara, standing before the ivory steps of the castle. [color=8882be]"There you are. We were wondering where you'd gone. Ithobal's just arrived, he's with Father and the others at the banquet."[/color] Myriam said aloud, stepping down towards Amara. She stopped before her, taking note of her red eyes and sullen expression. [color=8882be]"Mother? Is everything alright?"[/color] she asked her, taking her mother's hand in her own.
