Seldo caught on to Lyriel's playful tone and let out a delighted laugh. It was always nice to meet someone who wasn't afraid to use a bit of sarcasm in front of him. If this were one of those social gatherings he had attended, Lyriel would have just passed the first test: be interesting without being disrespectful. [color=0072bc]"Fret not, milady. Merely inheriting a crown is not a matter of honor. Rather, it is what we do with our crown that makes us honorable or not, don't you agree?"[/color] His lips curled into a friendly smile, and it was clear that his mood had completely recovered from his brief spat with Prometheus. [color=0072bc]"And I suppose my time here will tell whether or not a man with my admittedly limited abilities is worthy of the crown."[/color] He met her show of exaggerated humility with one of his own. It was clear from the tone of his voice, that he was teasing Lyriel right back. 

[color=0072bc]"Ah, Northwatch you say. Milady is certainly a long way from home."[/color] Admittedly, Seldo knew very little of Northwatch's affairs. It was yet another kingdom on the other side of the world that Forlonia had few dealings with. Still, he had heard of some accident that had taken the king's life long ago. If the current king was Lyriel's brother, though, then Northwatch had a surprisingly young ruler. However, Seldo wanted to avoid that topic for now. He was sure Lyriel didn't want to talk about her dead father any more than he wanted to talk about his dead brother. [color=0072bc]"If my geography serves me correctly,"[/color] Seldo continued, [color=0072bc]"Northwatch is farther away from The Conclave than any other kingdom. It must have been quite a long trip for you. I hope you are settling in alright."[/color] She certainly didn't look to be particularly fatigued, but nobles were notoriously good at hiding their discomfort. Seldo wasn't sure how high his own spirits would be after making such a long trek.
