Ithobal breathed a sigh of relief when she quickly retorted with her line about a scar ruining a beautiful bride. She was probably the sharpest Lady in the room, and it made Ithobal wonder if all of the Hyland's were like this. They were known as great warriors, ones who Ithobal's father always held a mistrust. They were both the most powerful military forces in the Kingdom. The Quell Sea was always known for their naval fleet, and the Hyland's for their armies. Arthur Gully changed that, he was a great military leader, and Arthur assumed it would cause ire in the Hylands. With Ithobal's cynicism being mixed with his father's implanted opinions, it would make sense to get out of this conversation, but Juliana's words kept drawing him in. Like Sirens drawing lost sailors to their death on sharp rocks, but Ithobal knew he would have to be alert.

Then a line hit Ithobal, Julian mentioned that she should have given the cat to the princess in hopes of it scarring her. Ithobal might have been mistaken, but he was pretty confident that she was flirting with him. Ithobal didn't know what to do, he didn't really think he would get this far. He thought she was just going to reject him and he would at least have some fun. He has a princess to win tomorrow, and tonight he has met a woman who made him rethink his actions. Could he give up such chances just for his family? He would be disappointing them again, but what else was new?

[color=0072bc]"Then you best be careful with the kitten, if you get a scratch from it you might never find a man worthy of you,"[/color] Ithobal responded with a twinge in his voice to respond to her flirtatious advances. Of course her family would always be near by. It would be nice to have some time to get to know her, at least not in a crowded dining hall. Then she made the move and invited him to the gardens to walk and look at the stars. Before he could respond with a real answer, his sister, Myriam, and his mother came to interrupt the conversation.

[color=0072bc]"Mother it is so good to see you. I hope the trip was safe, and it has been too long since I've seen you,"[/color] Ithobal returned the peck on his mother's cheek. He quickly transitioned into his introduction, [color=0072bc]"Mother, Myriam, I would like to introduce you to Lady Juliana Hyland, of Mount Promonon. We have been having a lovely conversation about the tournament, this adorable kitten, and the stars. And Lady Juliana, I always find time to look at the stars, I feel they bring out the beauty of the world."[/color] He said that response rather plainly to try and keep his mother's prying ears from their true conversation. If there was one thing Ithobal didn't need in his life right now, it was his mother meddling in his love life. Knowing his mother, he does not have the power to end the conversation and he can only hope that his mother is not too interested in Juliana.
