Seldo’s kindness unnerved her, but it didn’t surprise her. There were few reasons to trust people like him, even if they were related through her mother’s blood— after all, ever since her father had passed there had been waves made behind the curtain that people were allowed to see by her family members linked through her father’s line and everything that had been done there had been against her. Reina had found out. Reina [i]always[/i] found out. As such was an unnerving thing to know, but she would rather it have been something she had found out and been unhappy about rather than tapdance through the darkness of ignorance. Uncouth things were better known than presumed; a game of reputation and wit. Perhaps if Seldo could prove himself useful and loyal she could dismiss his cynicism about the goddess and ally with him. It would be a wise move if things went according to plan, of course.

It was a thought, anyway.

Before Anareliea could get her bearings another approached her, this time a face she recognized as a friend and an ally; although the latter point was in some amount of doubt. People who were cunning creatures at home tended to turn into her rivals when they found themselves at The Conclave. But she had several years on Telaivas and wasn’t afraid of her. She needed pawns before she could become queen— and Anareliea had the chess board already played out. A wide friendly smile remained on her face as Telaivas approached her and spoke her words.

[color=c05982]“Telaivas! It is so very good to see you. But yes, I do agree it has been too long; years, even! I had heard from your father that you would be attending, but I did not know in what capacity.”[/color]

Though she did know it was likely that Telaivas was only here to study under the godfather of magic himself, Mathis Thornwell. It was why half the students had optimistic views of their future as nobles and not fearing how long they would locked up in a caged tropical prison. When you could learn things other men and women could not because of your status, wealth, and birth it was something you took pride and hope in.
