There was a valid reason to question and perhaps mistrust, but no reason to be rude. She thought maybe they were all just misunderstanding each other. It reminded her of when her parents would bicker with Helio; he had been so headstrong about everything and they always would never believe him. It was understandable that Elthrael would flee and try to preserve his own life, however, she questioned the nature of Jean's death and what had really happened. There wasn't much point to mistrust and argue with Elthrael unless evidence surfaced to support it. All they could do was try to trust each other as they all had a common enemy. She didn't like to see anyone unhappy so she decided to move away from the situation for her own sanity. After a moment, she retreated inside to escape the fighting to change out of her wet dress and into her clothes for the day. She took her time, braiding her hair into a thick braid down her back and adorning it with pretty little flowers of assorted colors. It was a lovely day so she decided to break out the [url=https://i.imgur.com/zPVvFc5.jpg]dress[/url] Kyran's mother had made her as a present this week. She had always brought baked goods and healed Kyran's family free of cost so the family had surprised her with a gift while she was staying there. Risa was excited to wear it. It was a very nice dress. When Risa was outside once again, Elthrael was explaining himself. She could not believe they were all still arguing. It honestly upset her. Risa had grew up attending charm school as a young girl and she knew they would have been disgusted with the idea of strangers being impolite like this. Elthrael addressed her upon her arrival before she could speak up. [color=aba000]"Princess Millinia, you alone have the power to save the fairy kingdom. I simply cannot leave the heiress guarded by a vapid vulpine again, I mean have you ever felt as unsafe as you did down in that fox den hm?"[/color] Risa tilted her head. She didn't recall informing him of her background. Her family was pretty recognized in the fairy community so it wasn't too wild a thing. Had she considered what it would be like if Aklenroth hadn't stripped her family of its power? She'd truly be a princess. Some had recognized her and her brother as royals out in the streets, especially amongst Helio's rebellious friends, but she hadn't paid much mind to it at the time. Did Elthrael really think she could inherit the throne? That was a lot of responsibility but she'd take it if the folk of the River Kingdom wanted her to. It was more of a weight to bear than a blessing to rule. Her grandfather had always told her: [i]'heavy is the head that wears the crown.'[/i] It had been from one of the human's books, but she knew it was true in any realm. Caring for a kingdom was not something to take lightly. If it meant she could ensure peace and happiness, she'd do it. If she was the only one who could, maybe she would then. Her family was well-respected and would probably entrust them with power, knowing they'd take everyone's best interests into account. After a moment of her thoughts, she addressed all and not just Elthrael. This was probably the first time Elsea learned of her bloodline. [color=AC5FFB]"I don't know how much power I really have, but if who I am really does mean something, then that is something to consider if we really do get Aklenroth off his throne. It would really be something if we all could decide our fates for ourselves, rather than a lich and his dark elves, who all know nothing of how to maintain a forest, rule fairies the way he does. They unfortunately all know nothing of how demi-humans are able to use their amazing talents to build such a beautiful city, yet control demi-humans. All this while they allow pain and suffering to occur. None of it should be what is done. " [/color] Risa did not like that he was insinuating that Kyran could not protect her. If anything, Kyran was who to thank for their lives. No matter the way he had chose, if they were all alive from being in that den, that's what mattered. However, she did not like that her friends had continued this argument. If she had to take the reins here in order to halt this nonsense, she would. They wanted a princess, they'd get one. With a smile, she folded her hands elegantly, [color=AC5FFB]"If we're going to be addressing me as Princess Millinia now, then I'd like to start practicing on my regal command."[/color] Her tone was playful as she began to speak but it took a serious turn, [color=AC5FFB]"We're going to halt this banter. All of you. If there is reason to mistrust Elthrael, it will eventually be revealed. For now, we have no proof he has done anything wrong. It is normal to be cautious but please, no unwarranted rudeness. Elthrael, please do try your best to be kind as well if you wish to remain with us and are as good-willed as you say. You will be not saying rude things to Kyran, and he not to you. It is unbecoming of gentlemen."[/color]She took a deep breath and smiled again to lighten the mood. This was probably as close to getting mad as Risa seemed to get with them thus far. [color=AC5FFB]"I know the nicest little place to eat. Chef Baelde makes amazing food. Take some time to ready yourselves if you need it. I'd like to address our goals when we're all sitting." [/color]
