The goblin certainly was strange for his kind but that was no guarantee he was useless. Though contrary to what he said Nyx suspected the reason Arys sent him was to be rid of him hopefully for good. Though there was also the possibility of she'd done it to taunt the Archon with how little she valued his Court but Nyx set that aside. Even if he knew it to be true he was not so petty as to take action on ever perceived slight. He would make a poor leader were that the case. No matter if Winter respected him or not Nyx had to show Arys that he held respect for her.

It was among other things why he had chosen Sini for the task. It would show Arys that he was willing to put his most trusted ally into her hands for the sake of continued peace between them. Of course it wasn't the only reason. There were some things Nyx wished Sini to be on the lookout for in Winter but he would inform her of those when they were in private.

He would have to be careful with this goblin. Despite each trait that made him a pathetic creature Nyx could see the sharp mind behind his eyes. He be brave but he was observent. Nyx would have to be cautious of how much he allowed this goblin to know. Though if he was treated as badly in Winter as his low dropping gaze and statue would seem to suggest perhaps there was an opportunity to sway him to a loyalty for Spring. That would have to wait though. First Nyx would see how he reacted to his new environment and by what means he communicated with his mistress. For it was certain that he'd brought some method with which to report the goings on of the Spring Court to Arys.

[color=Black]"I would be lying if I said I'd not expected someone more grand but it is often the unassuming that achieve greater heights for they are both patient and humble."[/color] Nyx got up from his seat and addressed the other courtiers. [color=Black]"Tell me friends, a thousand years ago if someone had told you a Mara would one day be your Archon would you have believed it?"[/color]

The courtiers stood still. Nyx smiled, an act that made him look kind and playful. [color=Black]"Come now I won't be offended. What would you have said?"[/color] A woman raised her hand. She was an old Naiad that oversaw the waters of Spring save for the River Plethegeon. [color=Black]"Nomia?"[/color]

[color=RoyalBlue]"I'd have accused him of imbibing with the bacchanals."[/color]

Nyx smiled nonchalantly. [color=Black]"And so would most of you."[/color] Nyx turned back to the little goblin Grexx. [color=Black]"Appearance means very little here, only what you can do and when you act. Serve this Court well and it shall treat with with respect."[/color] Nyx paused for a moment. [color=Black]"Save for Leaf and Pearl. They do as they please."[/color]

Nyx turned to the two guards, common Springborn fae and said. [color=Black]"If you would not mind taking Grexx to the quarters prepared for him I must prepare my knight for her journey."[/color] Then he motioned to Sini. [color=Black]"We have matters to discuss and little time in which to do so."[/color] He looked back at Grexx. [color=Black]"You are well met here Grexx, pray you serve this Court well. Sini if you please."[/color] He motioned for her to follow.
