Tyaethe turned around, having caught the tail end of the conversation, and now Jarde was approaching. The apparent child took it in with interest, tilting her head to listen. A royal ball, huh? It had been a while since the knights had been invited to any of them, and it was probably due time to "politely" remind some nobles of her opinions on their interference with the knights. Maybe she could even find time to tease the princess for her mistake in the last one... mistaking the paladin for someone of her own age.

She would [i]definitely[/i] make sure that mistake wasn't happening again.

"I think she went in the direction of the baths... it's going to be hard for you to deliver the message in [i]that[/i] case," Tyaethe noted, looking him up and down, "Unless you're a lot more girly under all that than I expected. Come along anyway in case she's not done."

The hand seizing his and pulling wasn't hard enough to be forced, but it [i]was[/i] pretty insistent that Jarde come along, "I don't see why you [i]shouldn't[/i] attend, you took the message. One of those nice privileges of being the first to hear. And it's always better to bring some variety to the party... the nobles can be so boring."

Or maybe she just liked annoying them for messing with things. Walking quickly, someone else caught her eye on the way to the baths.

"Hey, Maritza, want to come to a party?"
