Greetings?- do I even know what I'm doing here? Okay... Greetings.- AHH am I emotional dead inside?!"[/b][/color] Auriel took a deep breath and tried to level herself out to try again. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow][b]"Maybe I should say it with a smile. Okay here goes... Greetings... Ehe!"[/b][/color] she groaned and shook her head. That was terrible. Auriel heard some clattering and footsteps behind her, which made her think that in her little world of rehearsing that the heroes were already there! Auriel quickly twirled on a heel to try and make up for lost time. She had a big smile on her face, an attempt at covering up her little show, [color=lightgoldenrodyellow][b]"GREETINGS!"[/b][/color] The excitement and surprise made her say it a little louder than what was acceptable in a throne room. Her face flushed to a much redder tone when she saw it wasn't the heroes a tall, but rather a man who looked like he had been rooting through the woods in search of fresh herbs or something. [color=white][i]"Preparing yourself, I see?"[/i][/color] the man said to her before continuing, [color=white][i]"Put some more grand confidence into your tone."[/i][/color] Auriel felt that she just put a bit too much grand confidence in her tone with that one. Ugh... this is terrible. She'd much rather death than to look like such a socially clumsy, bird brained holy warrior. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow][b]"Ah- eh... Yeah..."[/b][/color] she finally answers with a deflated tone, even her wings drooped in defeat when she answered. Auriel looked back at him, almost with desperation in her eyes. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow][b]"I need help! I've waited my whole life for this moment, and I never once thought about first impressions!"[/b][/color] The guardian angel was known to be impressively calm in the field of battle, but she clearly didn't benefit from that same quality in other environments.
