When Liliana saw Winter smile at her and compliment her work, her heart filled with pride and gratitude. She smiled warmly back at Winter. [color=purple]“Thank you your majesty. It means so much coming from you. I am truly grateful to be here with you, and I’m glad that my research can be of use to you.”[/color]  

	The cool dressed orc who had entered the room along with her then began to speak and introduce himself to the queen. She didn’t know much about orcs, Starkstone didn’t get many visitors. The few things she did hear about them didn’t exactly paint a pretty picture, but there were always exceptions, and he was exceptional indeed. He introduces himself as Goro, and despite his verbal trippings he spoke with elegance and restraint, something she could appreciate. 

	When Goro presented the pineapple to Winter her ladyship became ecstatic. Liliana herself was also pleasantly surprised, albeit not to the extant as the mistress. It looked like a rare species that she would love to get her hands on and inspect, though the beaming excitement that radiated from the angelic immortal is a priceless treasure she would not trade for any other. Who ever Goro is appears to be well traveled and have an eye for the finer things in life. 

	A man who looked like he carried a part of the forest with him walked in just as the mistress was serving the pineapple slices. He takes a seat next to Liliana and began to speak. He says his name is Nkosi Naswaru, and that some strange force known as the Mother guided him. A greater spirit perhaps? Perhaps maybe a god? Intriguing. Liliana’s barely functioning nose catches the faintest scent of cedar coming of him. He must have some interesting microorganisms growing on him, though somehow she doubted that he would compromise his personal space just to satisfy her curiosity. 

	    As Liliana bit into the pineapple her mouth was met with an explosion of sweetness. She turned to Goro in wide-eyed excitement, tears of joy running down her face. Not many fruits grew in the arid Grey Canyon, so to taste something this sweet was a welcome change of pace. She then gave a series of short small bows. [color=purple]“This is DELIECIOUS! Thank you so much Goro!”[/color] Liliana wiped her tears once more. [color=purple]“Oh! How rude of me. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Liliana Rosenveldt of Starkstone. It is a pleasure to meet you both.” [/color] The queen then decided to summon their attention as she gets down to business. 

	Liliana heard the proposal that Lady Winter offered them. Goro talked to the queen concerning his ability to write and make use of the notebooks as well as asking about the whereabouts of this “Bay’kin” place the lady was referring to. Nkosi then accepted the invitation and attempted requisition arms and gear for the trip. It was then that Liliana graciously accepts the codex, then kneels before Winter. [color=purple] “Your divine! I will accept this most holy mission you have granted me! It would be my pleasure to serve you my lord.” She stands once more, hugging the tome given to her. “I will cherish this fantastic gift you have given me Lady Winter, and I will bring you all the secrets that I find.”[/color] she says as she smiles. 
	

	Liliana turns to the two adjacent gentlemen. [color=purple] “I guess we’re all on the same boat. Truth be told I don’t have a lot of experience fighting, but I won’t hesitate to eviscerate our enemies!”[/color]
