[hr]
It took Torielle a moment longer than it should have to realise she was the one being addressed. The young guard was still rambling to her about Dall's history, even as he returned to his post not far from where she was sitting, and she'd tuned it out to focus on the frozen water falling from the sky, still fascinated by the strange phenomenon. Her gloved hand was once again extended to catch a few snowflakes, and she brought them close to her face, trying to examine them but failing to see how they were formed. She lowered her hand and looked up at the veteran guard.

[color=#9966ff]"It is fine."[/color] She quickly produced the summons as she stood up. [color=#9966ff]"Something warm would be lovely. Perhaps a cup of tea."[/color]

She followed the guard as he led her away. The young man who had been escorting her earlier called after them, asking if she might like to meet at a local inn a bit later for a drink. Barely turning, she called back, [color=#9966ff]"I am married,"[/color] before continuing to ignore anything more he said.

Torielle looked to the veteran guard. [color=#9966ff]"Where is this inn?"[/color] she asked softly, head tilted. Although still unsure about it, she thought perhaps it would be nice to have a drink.
