[b]Sylvia watched her sister-in-law with a bit of a worried expression, feeling like she was responsible for her happiness. Right now, the young woman was content with rebelling by secretly meeting with men & teasing them, but how long would that last? Surely she wouldn't continue such actions after she married. But Sylvia knew better; if Cendres wasn't taken more seriously soon, she would probably head down a very destructive path that might eventually destroy her sense of self.

Forgetting her own problem for a moment, Sylvia approached Cendres as she suggested dinner & gently took the younger woman's hands in her own. Her eyes shone with compassion as she gently squeezed down her fingers, creating somewhat of a vice grip that was uncommon for the delicate Elven woman..

"Miss Cendres, I would like to help you as well." Sylvia said softly, "Aranhil has told me that he wishes to decide your future husband. At the risk of tricking him a little, I want to ensure your happiness by giving you a bit of a choice. Is there any man in the courts that you feel you may love? Please give me a name, any name, & I will see to it that Aranhil takes him serious as a worthy candidate."[/b]
