[b][color=9bffa2]"Actually, just for you, someone is bringing rice right now."[/color][/b] Without a moment to think about it, a servant came in with a plate of steamed rice, handing it over to Auges with a polite nod. Without saying anything, he left to which Royce just moved on, glancing to the saint playfully - she knew the woman was going to ask for rice. [b][color=9bffa2]"There's still another joining us - well, who's in the city. He's kind of a fire knight I guess. He'll find his way,"[/color][/b] she explained. [b][color=9bffa2]"However the last three will take a couple days, so please rest in our building. Read, eat, train, get to know each other."[/color][/b] She relaxed in her chair and smiled softly. [b][color=9bffa2]"Like it or not, Vis brought you back for this reason. You'll be an adventuring party like none has existed before, all heroes in your own rights. You'd imagine with combined strengths, you could move mountains but..."[/color][/b] she paused, sighing and shrugging. [b][color=9bffa2]"I'm not sure what's in store for you. This dark moon is nothing I've ever seen. My vision has never been perfect, but it blocks it completely at times. I don't know what you will find or how you will win, but I do know the first step!"[/color][/b] She held up a finger. [b][color=9bffa2]"One of the later guests, Harun, will suggest an airship. That's the first stop. When he gets here."[/color][/b] [b][color=9bffa2]"Any other questions? You each have a room already prepared and there is a training ground in the back if you wish."[/color][/b] She then thumbed behind her. [b][color=9bffa2]"Also books."[/color][/b] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/Z5Q9Nm1.png[/img][/center] [center][b][i]Year 7,432 of the 3rd Era[/i][/b] [i][b]3rd Month, 14th Day[/b][/i] [b][i]Location: Castle Vraweth[/i][/b] [sub][@Crusader Lord][@Tominas][/sub][/center] Morgan was getting ready to leave with the queen seeing them both off, though she had been a little distracted all morning. She had not gotten the time to talk with her.. [i]friend[/i].. about what happened the night before. Was [i]friend [/i]even the right word anymore? Nimue had proclaimed her love in the most intense way one could imagine and just thinking of it made Morgan shiver. She wasn't given the chance to talk though, to ponder this new revelation. Instead Nimue just made sure Morgan could not talk most of the night. Her face flushed lightly at the thought. Truthfully though, she wanted to speak. She still had to think about what this meant and how she felt with Nimue being in love with her. She had a feeling she might have loved her back - that she had always loved her from the moment she saw her in that dungeon. Suddenly a man came sliding in, causing a break in Morgan's thoughts. It wasn't long before he gave an entire speech, shifting from one form to another. For a few moments after the queen was silent, the guards confused but still at the ready, Odessa coming to a sudden halt and narrowing her eyes at the thief. [b][color=f48342]"Your majesty-!"[/color][/b] she started before the queen held out her hand, causing her to hold her tongue, though fuming quietly. The only reason he had got away was because of his shapeshifting, but she couldn't deny he had skill equal to hers, a knight commander. [b][color=fcdf76]"Dame Morgan?.."[/color][/b] the queen asked softly, glancing to the woman, as if deferring to her judgement. [b][color=fcdf76]"Do you think it's true?"[/color][/b] Meliadoul seemed skeptical, folding her hands in front of her. She had dressed today not in her armor but gown to see the heroes off, before the interruption. Morgan had nearly went for summoning her blade before the man went on with his act, causing her to raise an eyebrow. She had no knowledge of him, though perhaps she felt she should have. Glancing to Nimue though, she walked towards the man with the confidence that only a dragonslayer could have. However, she wandered if that's all people truly knew of her. Was no one aware of Excalibur? Or what it meant to wield the blade? Not that it mattered. It only mattered she understood and that Nimue understood - slaying a dragon paled to the fact that she had the holy sword. Regardless, she took a moment to study him before tilting her head slightly. [b][color=6ecff6]"... you're not telling the entire truth,"[/color][/b] she spoke very plainly, causing the guards to tense. Morgan held out her hand to indicate for them to stand down. [b][color=6ecff6]"But neither is your statement wholly a lie."[/color][/b] She paused, folding her arms and looking back to Nimue once and then nodding once. [b][color=6ecff6]"Vis revived you for the same cause as ours. It would be foolish to deny your request. We ride east.. and I imagine with your display you need not a horse."[/color][/b] Suddenly she leaned a little to the side and looked directly to the dagger, as if she knew something was strange with it. [b][color=6ecff6]".. hm.. the dagger might very well keep you true as well."[/color][/b] The legendary knight turned back around, walking towards Nimue and nodding to the queen. To which she just sighed softly and waved to the guards and Odessa. [b][color=fcdf76]"Let him go then. He's under Dame Morgan's authority, so please provide him with what food he may need or provisions - within reason."[/color][/b] She turned to Morgan and Nimue then and smiled softly. [b][color=fcdf76]"May Vis watch over you. We will do our part over here."[/color][/b] It was a simple farewell, but the queen seemed to be the no-nonsense type. Odessa even more as she curtly ordered the guards to return to their duties. The knight commander walked to Harun then and gave him a stare down. It wasn't exactly anger or like she thought little of him, but rather a silent respect and reminder that she was no pushover. [b][color=f48342]"It is not oft that one gets away from a knight commander."[/color][/b] She gestured to Morgan once. [b][color=f48342]"Best behave, rogue. She is the best of us. With that, however, what are your needs?"[/color][/b]
